battlefield-6

[devout torrent]

Because they level up so quickly

[velvet kayak]

So when a player who has played CoD plays BF they are not a BF player? What is a BF player then?

[spare socket]

Movement in battlefield is always with the intention of moving your position in an advantageous manner.

[acoustic spindle]

Ban incoming

[spare socket]

Sometimes that inclines being aggressive due to your opponent being low on hp or suppressed, getting on the objective, or because you're performing a flank.

Slides and jumps can be disjoints in some situations but their penalties make them something you can't really spam

[rich torrent]

I'm genuinely so confused as to what your point is.

[placid wyvern]

It's just an attempt at gatekeeping. Both games are niche in their own genres and serve different purposes. CoD is arcade, Battlefield is more sim-cade. Being a fan of one doesn't prohibit the other.

[devout torrent]

My point is we screw up that was I tried to say

[spare socket]

I've been playing battlefield since battlefield 2142 and I'm level 270, completed all the weapon, class, and unit challenges in the game, and I have all the ARs, DMRs, Snipers, and LMGs at level 50

I'm working on the carbines and smgs and have some of those at 50 rn

Not sure how call of duty enters that equation lol.

[velvet kayak]

Yeah the whole CoD vs BF thing is about as mature as the my platform is better than yours. For me, who cares? Play on and what you like.

[placid wyvern]

When the game is designed to allow movement exploits like these, people are naturally going to gravitate towards using them.

[spare socket]

I'm unfortunately completely out of weapon xp boosters so the remainder of my grind will be a slog

I got tons of them for free by buying the game on EA and refunding it for the 15 free booster compensation

[placid wyvern]

Well said, it's a dynamic I've grown tired of since Halo.

[spare socket]

Battlefield has integrated some degree of movement into its gameplay since like battlefield 3 frankly. Bf4 and bf5 were way faster shooters than 6 anyways (at least in terms of movement)

[fiery oxide]

Movement exploits

[spare socket]

No exploits.

Bf4 has faster base sprint speed than bf6. It's the second fastest in the franchise. Bf6 has the second slowest.

Bf4 also has aerial strafing (ie when you change direction mid air you maintain full momentum)

[rich torrent]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1pjx7lz/we_should_go_back_to_bf4s_movement_bf4_movment/ Again, this rare high quality Reddit post is a great example to use against Anti Movement BF6 players.

[spare socket]

bf6 doesn't have that either.

[fiery oxide]

Just curious what Rev thinks what kinda "exploits" are in the game currently

[devout torrent]

Wait a minute guys did anyone got a message from infinity word in x?

[placid wyvern]

I don't mean exploits like they're unintended, I just mean "movement that's exploited" in the literal sense.

[spare socket]

the best part about this clip is it has 0 exploits

[acoustic spindle]

The one where they deny that modern warfare 4 is an exact clone of mw2?

[spare socket]

so nobody can pull the stupid "oh but they were using movement exploits" conversation starter

[rich torrent]

That's always a classic.

[spare socket]

it's literally just crouching, jumping, and changing direction

[devout torrent]

Wait what when did they do that ?

[acoustic spindle]

Battlefield players gonna cry all the way to the grave until sliding is removed from their precious game

[rich torrent]

Enders proved it best I think, he took anti movement clips from reddit and slowed them down, compared stats of the poster and the movement user - it's all skill issues.

[spare socket]

Bf4 actually had sliding as a soft mechanic where you would jump and then crouch and maintain the jump momentum into your crouch. The devs could have removed it but it just became a part of the game that they kinda just left it in. Hell with the next entry bf1 sliding just became a feature lol

realizes I forgot about hardline again

[twin geode]

have you seen the ziplines and sliding in BO7 right now? i think you should be happy people can only bhop twice lol

[spare socket]

it's not even a good bhop either

[placid wyvern]

Weird point of contention

[primal nova]

Is it just me, or does bf1 look much better than bf6? Ive got a 4060, so maybe i just cant have enough power to see the max graphics on bf6.

[acoustic spindle]

I love anything that makes people cry cod ruining my game. 🤣

[spare socket]

Imma be real with you the bhop in this game will get you killed like 9/10 times

as it
A: barely has any flipping momentum on the second hop
B: locks you in a linear direction

[placid wyvern]

There's use in preserving your momentum to, say, reach cover a little quicker.

[young gate]

why people complain about maps? I didn't play bf3/4 so maybe someone can explain me

[spare socket]

The latter making you very predictable to trace shots on

[devout torrent]

Wait guys I have a question do you think Battlefield studio are making new Battlefield if they do that man that's gonna make happy

[placid wyvern]

They're always making new Battlefields. Until EA believes it doesn't have a decent ROI, they always will.

[twin geode]

The maps are trash compared to what Battlefield should be. Large scale battles. You literally HAVE to play like a COD sniper to play with snipers now compared to bf4/3

[rich torrent]

The Devs definitely over corrected but with how much we complained about the BF2042 map sizes, we aren't completely blame free.

[placid wyvern]

2042's map issues were definitely not with their sizes. Really just the sparseness of cover.

[young gate]

so the issue is just to satisfy snipers? I really try to understand

[rich torrent]

I mean even with 128 players, the maps were a snooze fest half the time.

[placid wyvern]

I'm also feeling the lack of anything like Leveloution or natural disasters. 6 doesn't have anything comparable.

[spare socket]

The main issue with this game is less map design and more map variety.

Siege of cairo and iberian offensive are solid small maps.
Manhattan bridge is a solid medium sized map
And mirak, eastwood, and operation firestorm are decent medium large maps (I dislike firestorm but I digress)

The issue is that there aren't enough really large maps like in prior battlefields to give larger scale experiences. Atop that Sobek, empire, and Blackwell fields are really poor in terms of map design for various reasons. Blackwell is too flat and lacks enough size, cover, and verticality to support its vehicles. Empire and sobek are a bit too small and have too much verticality and not enough cover to support that verticality. Atop that the verticality is very limited in access points on sobek specifically (largely through transport helis on sobek or a few zips)

Lastly the sniping in this game has way faster bullet travel speed in bf6. In bf4 they had like a max of 670 m/s in bf6 they can reach up to 1100m/s and have lower bullet drag coefficients.

[primal nova]

Wouldnt having a big map but with a lot of cover just force ground troops to have smaller gunfights in a small area near the capture points?

[velvet kayak]

The only Conquest maps I play are Empire, Manhattan, Iberian, Cairo & Eastwood.

[spare socket]

no mirak is crazy

[placid wyvern]

Depends how careful the map designers are. It's a balancing act between too little cover and too much.

[spare socket]

the D and B fight on mirak is hella fun and the parachute angles on top of B point on Mirak are amazing

Operation firestorm I can kinda understand. It's a bit overrated imo and idk why they keep bringing it back

[twin geode]

Also, i would like to add that the sniper crosshairs and markings dont mean shit in this game. Each tick is supposed to be 100m. even with zeroing in.

[spare socket]

There are wayyyyyy better maps in the franchise and they just keep remastering firestorm for some reason

[young gate]

I didn't see the larger maps of older bf games but Operation Firestorm is a mid size map?

[spare socket]

One moment

[placid wyvern]

That infuriates me. I can't recall but were the mildots useful at one point?

[devout torrent]

Hey guys anyone else have problem with the new map in Battlefield 6 ?

[twin geode]

bf 3 and 4 both worked fine

[spare socket]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1omver9/updated_battlefield_maps_from_bf3_bf4_bfhl_bf1/ this is a comparison of all maps since bf3 to bf6

[primal nova]

I only play mirak valley and operation firestorm lol

[placid wyvern]

Yeah, I knew it. It did depend on the rifle itself, but I definitely remember both zeroing and compensating.

[spare socket]

Liberation peak I love and hate

[young gate]

okay looks like bf6's biggest map is 1/5 as big as bf4's biggest map

[placid wyvern]

Finding out it didn't matter in 2042 is probably the biggest reason I didn't play it that much.

[young gate]

damn bf3 had huge maps lol

[spare socket]

I hate the fact it makes the overtuned sniping even more annoying. I like the vehicle dynamics and options.

I also feel like the map could be made wider and longer to accomodate an addtional capture point inside the center mountain as a sorta valley

[placid wyvern]

They removed the ability to zero and made it impossible to compensate without trial-and-error.

[spare socket]

mind you bf3 also has some of the smallest maps in the franchise. Small and medium scale maps are fine they add to the experience

[devout torrent]

Wait a minute what are you guys talking about anyway ?

[spare socket]

the issue is when the overall map pool doesn't have enough large scale maps and when 2 of your maps are kinda dog water and 2 are solid

[twin geode]

zeroing in is fine. but having the markings literally mean nothing is bs lol

[placid wyvern]

That's what I mean. You couldn't even zero in 2042.

AND the mildots weren't reliable.

[young gate]

I have no issues to install more 80GB of data to add those big maps. But do you think it has something to do with redsec? I mean the scale of maps. But it would be not fair to those who just doesn't like BR

[placid wyvern]

I can definitely tell they put a lot of eggs into Redsec.

[spare socket]

Large maps in bf usually have tons of buildings, elevation levels, and water areas to allow them to function

[young gate]

just like redsec?

[spare socket]

water allows you to hide your player model in well water, trees and buildings provide cover, variable amounts of elevation allow you to have high and low ground opportunities

[placid wyvern]

Getting naval combat again would be nice. Miss my attack boat.

[spare socket]

that but better designed with a key flow around conquest objectives

The lack of objectives in redsec makes map design as a concept flimsy

[twin geode]

well, youre SUPPOSED to do missions

[spare socket]

You just kinda spout vistas and assets on a map and have variable elevation levels. They don't lead into a point of interest

[solar mural]

Does anyone know how to extract models from Battlefield 6?

[spare socket]

which the map while it features them

[young gate]

Im not sure maybe they will add bigger maps in future? Did they drop ALL maps in bf3/4 at launch?

[spare socket]

doesn't alter the entire map flow to focus the combat and dynamics around those at all. They're largely side content

[modest dome]

Holy shit, bf6 just reach 39K current players in steam

[ripe hedge]

bf6 maps are smaller than CoD too

[spare socket]

No bf4 launched with 10 maps. Bf3 launched with 9

[young gate]

so there is a chance they will drop bigger maps in future?

[spare socket]

bf4 has a total of 30 maps now. Bf3 has a total of 29

[ripe hedge]

Yea if EA share price increases maybe they’ll

[spare socket]

the plan is likely 2-3 maps per season.

[placid wyvern]

I believe 6's best maps are in the future. This is by far the best communication pipeline for a Battlefield game.

[young gate]

Okay let's see what they'll drop next year

[spare socket]

I'm hopeful the devs opt to reduce the emphasis on developing game modes and focus on maps

More game modes actually makes making more maps even harder cuz your designers have to then consider more modes/objectives for your maps to flow for

[young gate]

I play mainly smaller maps but like I said I have no issues to install extra 80GB of data to install bigger maps and ofc. I will play all maps

[twin geode]

idk man, the latest "new" map was a reskin that broke the game :P

[young gate]

I think they will focus on maps. Didn't they remove sabotage already?

[placid wyvern]

Yes, that was for California Resistance.

[ivory gull]

looks like season 2 will be naval combat

[spare socket]

I mean it's not really meant to be a "new map" their roadmap was established for a while

[twin geode]

They did get some free cash tho. All the people who spent coins to NOT have to play the battlepass... will have to buy coin for BP later XD

[spare socket]

I thought this was season 3?

[tribal fiber]

Where can I report bugs in BF6?

[placid wyvern]

Speaking of, how long is Season 1 supposed to last? I saw in one menu "86 weeks" and thought it HAD to be a placeholder.

[twin geode]

depends, is it new? :D

[young gate]

I have the feeling they going to stay in the bf path but they try out new stuff until getting there?

[spare socket]

ends 3rd week of january I believe

[tribal fiber]

i think so. i dont see anypne else talking about it

[twin geode]

your bug might already be in #1335997362258186292

[ivory gull]

season 2 will be somewhere around jan 10th

[spare socket]

I swore we were getting the little bird next season and naval for season 3

I could be tripping 🤷‍♂️

[young gate]

isn't it confirmed that it will drop next or s3?

[spare socket]

tbh I kinda wish the new truck that got added to the game was on more maps.

I think firestorm and mirak could use a few of those

[spare socket]

cut a tank or two and throw in an MRAP or two

[tribal fiber]

the bug i have is that there's a random chance using the commo rose will cause my character to flick look

i have footage

[spare socket]

it's just leaks no confirmation. Nothing is confirmed until you see it on a developer twitter post or in #game-news

[tribal fiber]

im on pc and i dont use nor do i have flicks bound to anything

[young gate]

I get most of the complaints but many people are inpatient and just want them to drop everything at the beginning. Also bf6 is a huge project with I guess a new engine so new bugs will appear and I think it is good they stay in connection with the community and bring out fixes as fast as they can

[ivory gull]

well the data mines show the jet ski will be here for season 2

[twin geode]

no no no, i want them to drop stuff theyve tested.

[spare socket]

ah I mean a jetski is hardly yk... an attack boat lol

[primal nova]

Can i check without owning the game? (I got ea app)i mean. I dont own bf6 on steam

[ivory gull]

yeah but why else would they add it?

[modest dome]

Steamdb

[spare socket]

looks at redsec

[ivory gull]

maybe but they’ve already got boats

[spare socket]

I don't play it but it is indeed a thing in this game

[fiery oxide]

Redsec doesn't have that much water unless they're adding a new map with more water on it

[primal nova]

Does it work on mobile?

[modest dome]

Ye

[spare socket]

I mean it already has attack boats on it (given the small ones not the heavy ones)

[primal nova]

Can we shoot while swimming?

[frosty sable]

anyone down to play wimmeee ??!

[primal nova]

THERES BOATS?????

[spare socket]

redsec has boats with a mounted lmg yes

[fiery oxide]

Yeah and they're hardly useful too

[spare socket]

there's actually a portal map that takes a portion of redsec and turns it into a conquest map with those boats

[primal nova]

Oh... I dont really play redsec. Basically only for quests

[oak adder]

Redsec has so many things that need to be put into the main game

[spare socket]

May I introduce you to portal

I honestly have a ton of time in portal doing fun custom game modes and such with my old halo buddies tbh

[primal nova]

Whenever i go and try i either find servers with ppl half a globe away and about 400 ping. Or empty servers

[oak adder]

Same, only few matches Ive played were for the quests

[young gate]

I played redsec once and got destroyed 5mins after drop by tank

[placid wyvern]

Redsec is fine, but it comes off as a very bog-standard battle royale.

Doesn't do anything particularly unique.

[young gate]

it is not fine that people drive a tank before the first custom weapon drop drops

[spare socket]

I think the devs just need to fix portal tbh.
It needs:
-no xp gains from bots to reduce bot farming lobbies polluting the browser
-full access to the entire weapon, attachment, gadget, class specialization, etc sandbox so that players can just have fun and custom modes can be made easily accessed for all
-More map maker features and assets. Compared to halo infinite forge portal is a joke imo

[primal nova]

Is portal available for redsec only ppl?

[spare socket]

idk tbh

[spare socket]

oh also fix the god awful menu ui this shizz kills portal just as much as the rest of this stuff

[oak adder]

I think it’s the opposite actually, only for paid version of bf

[primal nova]

Oh. Alr.

[twin geode]

they need to just get rid of portal and focus on the actual game that most of the players actually play tbh

[spare socket]

Oh I thought that's what they were saying lol

[placid wyvern]

The tanks are glass cannons, and very restrictive. Not that they're weak. They have limited ammo, nearby squads are notified and supplied with AT equipment whenever someone finds one, and they can be summarily defeated by simply touching them.

[spare socket]

I disagree. Halo became a generational social experience with 3 starting forge.

[primal nova]

Kinda sucks cuz most my friends wont buy the game. And i dont really have anyone to play with

[oak adder]

A bunch of people are taking chunks of redsec and making normal bf maps out of them though

[young gate]

IF you get close to them

[spare socket]

Like the stuff you can do in halo infinite forge is insane

[placid wyvern]

Yeah, you have to be conniving.

[primal nova]

Its still only for full game only ryt? Not for redsec

[oak adder]

There is an LFG for exactly that reason

[spare socket]

If Halo infinite launched with a fully complete forge imo it would have broken the internet. But it's like 6 years too late

[primal nova]

Whats LFG mean?

[placid wyvern]

That isn't fair. Infinite has a phenomenal Forge tool.

[twin geode]

yeah but halo is halo

[oak adder]

Looking For Game #lfg-crossplay #lfg-pc

[twin geode]

you cant be the jack of all trades master of ALL

[primal nova]

Oh. I dont think anyone would want to play with me tbh

[spare socket]

That shizz also released like ass

[primal nova]

Aint it supposed to be master of none?

[spare socket]

and took years to perfect the forge tool alone lol

[oak adder]

Only one way to find out

[twin geode]

exactly. theres a reason why its master of none

[spare socket]

?

I'm confused what are you talking about sorry?

[placid wyvern]

I'm not even a fan of Infinite. It took eleven months. Granted the game had so little content.

[primal nova]

Im the master of blowing shi up. And im pretty happy with that.

[spare socket]

I think the game in its current state is the best halo multiplayer experience if it scrapped skill based matchmaking

[placid wyvern]

I still think the content leaves a lot to be desired.

[spare socket]

The campaign is still ehhhhh but that's besides the point

[placid wyvern]

Personally prefer 5 for its sandbox and maps.

[primal nova]

I still cant hit a jet without heat seeking stuff. Anyone got any tips?

[oak adder]

💣

[spare socket]

I disagree. Halo infinite has 91 maps right now in the game's matchmaking options.

Atop that forge is a content machine of tons of ideas, maps, game modes, campaign missions, etc

[oak adder]

If you pull it off you got crazy skills

[placid wyvern]

I don't qualify maps to the same degree. They're ultimately just layouts for the BR to dominate every game yet again.

[primal nova]

Im still trying lol.

[spare socket]

The br isn't even the starting weapon in most halo lobbies what?

[twin geode]

What I'm saying is, they need to focus on a few things. not try to have a little bit of everything

[placid wyvern]

I'm oversimplifying it. I'm conveying how bland the sandbox is.

[spare socket]

The BR is usuallly a pick up these days with the AR or dmr being starter weapons.

DMR is starter in comp and AR is starter in casual

[primal nova]

Theres comp?

[spare socket]

I'm talking halo ranked

[primal nova]

Oh.. Havent really played much of halo tbh

[placid wyvern]

Don't sweat it. Niche title.

[spare socket]

Imma be real you might have been burnt out within the first like 11 months (honestly like 2 years) of the game. Playing halo infinite right now with a group of friends is amazing

The issue is nobody plays the flipping game because it was ass for like years

[primal nova]

Im mostly a story games only person. Only multiplayer stuff i play are bf6, roblox, Valorant. (Mostly cuz thats where all my friends usually are)

[spare socket]

A game fixing all its issues like 5 years later doesn't suddenly result in a boom of players

[placid wyvern]

I played it intensely for a couple months up to Battlefield 6, and really dug deep. But it really didn't resonate with me as well as the other Halos.

[mint fern]

Holy shit ive achieved inner battlefield Nirvana..

[primal nova]

Did u snipe a jet pilot?

[spare socket]

Might just be franchise burnout tbh. Or the skill based matchmaking?

[placid wyvern]

Namely, I don't like the BMS, forced crossplay, weapon variety and tuning, or how the game even looked.

[spare socket]

did you play ranked exclusively or did you check all 91 maps in the casual modes and explore forge?

If you did the former you will have a miserable boring experience

[placid wyvern]

I did, but even if a portion of the experience didn't wow me, I doubt doing all of it would.

[mint fern]

Did that once in the past. Nah i just managed to get 3 squad wipes on an entire roof worth of enemies in Manhattan bridge. The rpg is my tool of justice lmao

[spare socket]

you played ranked exclusively?

[placid wyvern]

Halo used to snag you from 10 minutes of gameplay, Infinite was just boring for me.

[primal nova]

Oh nice. Rpg really is the pinnacle of all weapons

[placid wyvern]

No, did about everything to varying levels.

[spare socket]

ok ig

[mint fern]

Mhm. On a side note the scout sniper is like really nice

[primal nova]

It cant one shot to the head ryt?

[young gate]

I heard that controller users get 25% recoil reduction in bf6

[spare socket]

I just don't really see what other halo titles have in the MP department that infinite doesn't besides a better progression system and no skill based matchmaking

[placid wyvern]

To disclaim, I'm not degrading it, it was just disappointing for me as a Halo game.

[mint fern]

No it can

[spare socket]

Me too. I think it ruined the franchise's reputation even further by being a title whose content came out too late

I won't say too little cuz uhhhh going from 10 maps to 91 maps is uhhhhhhhhh

[primal nova]

Ive only really used it in the range. I worked so hard to ge that big sniper so i kinda dont wanna move away.

[mint fern]

The stock sight is so rewarding

[placid wyvern]

Again, maps are ultimately just different layouts for the same bland sandbox. Sometimes their appeal is the aesthetic, but I feel Infinite also fails in that department.

[spare socket]

yk a lot of content that when combined with forge and the progression, playlist, customization, and sandbox changes it's a good game now.

The issue is who cares if it's a good game if like 90% of my old halo buddies won't hop on it

[primal nova]

Btw. If i have jus a red dot on a sniper. Does it still give a glare?

[fiery oxide]

Yes

[spare socket]

Idk man I feel like 3's sandbox was about similar but that's just me ig

[mint fern]

The variable zoom is fun. I like using 1x for the challenge and just to make sure im watching my periferals

[mint fern]

I got no clue dont snipe much

[placid wyvern]

I also felt 3's sandbox was bland. Again preferring 5's.

[spare socket]

ah

[rare ginkgo]

Uyyy

[spare socket]

Question do you feel 5 is your fav halo mp?

[placid wyvern]

Overall, yes.

[spare socket]

That's fair. And I see why you don't like infinite

[spare socket]

Second question was 5 your first halo title? Or at least dedicated halo mp experience

[placid wyvern]

They play very similar, but Infinite felt like a PC game ported to console.

[placid wyvern]

No, 5 was my second-to-last, last being Infinite. I played them all up to 5's release.

[spare socket]

ic

Tbh the bit with 5 is its mobility, aesthetic, and mechanics are so different that I barely consider it a halo game

It's legit an advanced movement fps game to me and I appreciate for that

[placid wyvern]

I diverge there, but I'm not willing to really go into it.

[spare socket]

Mind you I love halo 5 mp but I loved it for like

[placid wyvern]

Infinite plays very similar to 5, so that confounds me.

[spare socket]

I disagree heavily

the booster system, the clamber cancels, and the movement tech of 5 are on another level

5 at its peak is one of the sweatiest fps advanced movement arena shooters on the market and harkens to the older days of stuff like quake (given the mechanics having more rigid shifts in movement)

[placid wyvern]

If anything, Infinite is more movement-expressive.

[spare socket]

As someone with buddies in the halo comp scene idk man

I can't really see that but 🤷‍♂️

It's your opinion ig

[placid wyvern]

A higher BMS correlates to more frenetic pacing overall.

Halo 5 was more sluggish in comparison, but almost prescriptively.

[spare socket]

that's just false

Like based on raw data it's literally incorrect. Someone did the raw unit calculations base on in world units

[ivory gull]

does anyone know why the targets in the shooting range randomly have 150-200 health lol

[placid wyvern]

I'm not saying Infinite was "faster", I understand Halo 5 had a higher sprint speed, but Infinite both had a higher BMS and a much higher movement acceleration.

[spare socket]

It did not

Infinite actually has slower strafe speed than 3. 5 has a higher strafe speed than 3 and infinite

[placid wyvern]

Emphatically false. Sorry.

[spare socket]

https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveHalo/comments/16l68gf/comparison_of_strafe_acceleration_in_infinite/

I'll just post the numbers this has been cross checked by other community members you can do with it what you will

bro why is my ak205's barrel texture missing, i have updated,verified game files and reinstalled yet nothing fixes it, its my main gun bruh

[spare socket]

https://youtu.be/KlkuuNG8g90?si=NmR1NUj3nREPGJKd this also goes into the matter

since winter patch and the hotfix did nothing smh except the menu bug

[spare socket]

Unfortunately I am a massive nerd that likes using numbers and metrics.

(Hell I helped gather ranged ttk values for bf6 for battlefinity lol)

It was a community effort frankly we had a bunch of people run numbers so we could cross reference our frame data and information to finalize on ttk values at key range intervals

[rich torrent]

Is there a way to fix the scoreboard glitch while in a game?

[fiery oxide]

The one where you can't close it?

[rich torrent]

Yea.

[spare socket]

others like xclusive ace and swoleguy cross referenced with our numbers too and we kinda have a decent consensus on the values now which is nice

[fiery oxide]

Unfortunately no, get kicked by afk or close the game

[primal nova]

Back when i started playin. I kinda changed the scoreboard key to "u". Now i cant find where i changed it from.
I completely reset the infantry keybinds. But it didnt fix it

[primal nova]

Ive never gotten kicked for afk. (Maybe cuz i only go afk once im dead) but isnt there even a whole sneeze animation and stuff just when u are afk?

[rich wing]

Are they really concidering breakthrough with 64 players ?
I don't get it really ..

[rich torrent]

That's what it was originally.

[ivory gull]

according to tracker.gg i am the best rush player alive

8hrs playtime with a 252 KD

[ivory gull]

i have for some weapons, that was the joke

[primal nova]

ho ok , nevermind then
it's fine as it is but well it was already fine at time of BETA and at time of release

[ivory gull]

i obviously do not organically have a 252 KD

You can get that very easily legit, by leaving the game every time you die

Very cheesy but it's "legit"

[ivory gull]

that’s not legit tho lol, thats about as legit as bot farming

[placid wyvern]

So, what I'm describing is what the post is referring to as a "quirk". When you begin moving from zero velocity or when you input against your current momentum, the game applies a boosted acceleration scalar (≈3× normal) which produces an initial spike in velocity. Halo 5 does not have this spike, its acceleration is smoother and more consistent. I suppose I was incorrect about Infinite having a higher BMS, but I'd say my complaint is translated from how it feels.

[half flicker]

are mortars actually useful in any other situtation except spamming an objective

[ivory gull]

what else do you want them to do? plant an mcom for you?

[primal nova]

Is it even useful at spamming at the objective? Its takes a couple business days to even hit

[half flicker]

eventually they are
@ivory gull idk i'm just wondering because it's cool but impractical

[restive island]

Is it just me, or does the more updates there are for Battlefield, the worse the game gets? It's more of a disaster than before! The PlayStation servers have become unplayable because players are barely taking their bullets! What are the developers doing?

[primal nova]

I wish we had the mortar from singleplayer. (The one used in the final mission)

[spare socket]

this is something that's only really exclusive to 5 and infinte tho and this acceleration value happens near instantly in both titles anyways

[ivory gull]

theyre good in breakthrough and final stages of escalation on some maps

[spare socket]

Is it slightly more instantly in infinite? Sure.

Does 3 have this? Not really it's just constant

[placid wyvern]

The acceleration value is the same, yes. But Infinite starts at a higher base velocity. That's why strafing is more frenetic. It was probably by design.

[spare socket]

A lot of infinite's movement glitches were also patched in like the first year

[spare socket]

It's cuz that's kinda how it was in yk

every other halo game before 5 since 5 emphasized momentum

not to say infinite doesn't have the ability to use momentum at all in fact that's kinda what the sprint mechanic is for when combined with slide

[placid wyvern]

Momentum was still preserved in 5.

[spare socket]

but in terms of strafe infinite opted to be closer to 3.

[half flicker]

i like playing FPS games and then not shooting my gun and instead finding stupid ways to kill people

such as the EOD bot

[spare socket]

Were we not talking about strafe directional changing?

[placid wyvern]

I must have misread you.

[spare socket]

Cuz infinite opts to be closer to prior entries compared to 5

cuz 5's entire ethos is momentum. It's a momentum based shooter and can access the highest peaks in the franchise while also having the most movement tech in the series

5's esports scene was some of the sweatiest gameplay I've ever seen frankly. It gave me old quake vibes (given again a lil more instant in how movement directionally changed)

[placid wyvern]

Well, I guess I'm speaking anecdotally, but Halo 5 conceivably felt more sluggish.

[spare socket]

It might have been the fov

[placid wyvern]

Probably the low sensitivity.

[spare socket]

that too. 5's lack of settings was a bit pain

[placid wyvern]

And that animations were longer, too.

[primal nova]

Btw, does anyone actually even use the throwing knives?

[spare socket]

No they are bad in this one

[fiery oxide]

I've seen one person use them

[primal nova]

Wish we had throwing sledgehammers

[spare socket]

frankly they've kinda always been bad but especially in this one

[fiery oxide]

They're insane in 2042

[spare socket]

The devs thought it would be really funny to have bloom on the throwing knife

[primal nova]

Bruh what

[spare socket]

I wish I was joking they actually reduced the bloom last patch. It's in the notes

[fiery oxide]

It's so you can't snipe people with them, but i haven't personally used them to see how bad they really are

[primal nova]

Wouldnt they take a long time to travel tho. And not travel very far

[acoustic spindle]

I don’t have this issue. If anything the ttd has got faster

[spare socket]

brother they have actual drop and low velocity

who is sniping with a knife bro 💀

[primal nova]

Ikr

[fiery oxide]

Im exaggerating

[spare socket]

"Reduced Throwing Knife dispersion so that headshots are reliably achievable up to 15 metres."

[spare socket]

This was in the last patch you can search this exact phrase up and it will come up. Battlefinity actually tested this data when we did a full spread check on the game but scrapped our data on it cuz we figured the team would just constantly adjust spread so there's no point in doing a spread chart rn

and we were right. They kept doing it lol. All those numbers are useless

There really isn't a point in testing for and publicizing spread values as those are the hardest and most variable forms of data to gather and require huge sample sizes. By the time you get actually reliable data, the team adjusts all the spread values in the game. It would just be misinformation at that point

we just gotta wait like a year or something

huzzah

[spare socket]

if you're curious this was the knife spread pre patch basically https://youtube.com/shorts/ZYu-GqhUFtM?si=vIBowzZE1wO2Qa5a

[crimson garden]

BF6 = cool friends 😎 With nice updates meta will always be changed which is pretty good for keeping competition fresh according to Penguin. But it's pretty challenging to collect nice data about guns like @spare socket pointed out clearly here, which is true. To Penguin it's like Good and Bad at the same time the changes, Penguin hopes this reply makes sense friend! 😃

[spare socket]

I too hope for changes that lead to more diversity and consistency in the game penguin

It's not a bad thing at all, frankly. It just means that data groups kinda have to chill on gathering numbers for a bit cuz attempting to do so now is a bit crazy when an update can very easily throw all your work out a window. It's best to test things that are easy to gather and repeat.

[gritty delta]

Hello guys, please we need a ranked mode, at least in REDSEC, the state of the game can be better, but it's still way ahead Warzone or Apex

[crimson garden]

Penguin believe it's a good idea to wait until things is settling down indeed, But the information gathered about lets say weapon spread is still useful ''right here and now'', which is only positive. But effort can indeed feel more pointless when ''compiled/gathered'' data more or less becomes invalid too often due to updates. Penguin understand you friend 🤗

[spare socket]

[primal nova]

Does it get worse if you are moving? Or does it stay constant?

[spare socket]

I want you to guess first

What do you in your heart of hearts think the team would do

[analog locust]

that is hilarious LOL it's so immersive it even uses my own skill at throwing knives x)

[primal nova]

The knife goes backwards

[spare socket]

close enough.

yeah the spread gets worse if you're moving

[primal nova]

Imagine while equipping a knife and getting fall damage has a chance to accidentally stab urself and die

[umbral pecan]

can anyone help it wont let me play gives me message and closes game

[primal nova]

If EA app. Just end task on game and ea app and restart everything.

[umbral pecan]

no its on steam

[spare socket]

But bro bro. Imagine if you could throw your knife at a local deli on manhattan bridge or empire state and get a sandwich

it blooms so hard that it curve into cutting various meats and bread, forming the heavy's sandwich healing item from tf2

the realism bro

[umbral pecan]

it saYS SECURITY VIOLATION ea anticheat has detected incompatible driver please update or disable a driver and restart but its not my driver but i cant find the file it saying also

[zinc mirage]

Is anyone experiencing random crashes?

I play on PC & ever since this update the game keeps crashing to desktop.

I don't know what's going on- CPU/GPU temps are within normal range. When I look in eventvwr, there is nothing that reported a crash.

Specs:

Ryzen 9 3900x, 3080ti FTW3 & 32GB RAM

It's starting to really bug me because it's happening often.

[jade surge]

Is there any challenge in this game that isn't randomly bugged? I give 800 vehicle health and the bar doesn't move from zero

[wild crypt]

I wonder if they'll eventually get around to nerfing smgs so they have a more realistic drop off at range (either more bullet drop or more damage falloff)

[wild crypt]

That specific challenge is definitely bugged but i didnt have any issues with the rest of them

[acoustic obsidian]

There’s no way that they don’t know about it and that it needs to be dealt with.

[wild crypt]

Probably, but the question becomes - when will they fix that lol. Granted there is plenty of waaaay more borked shit to fix first

[acoustic spindle]

The weekly heal vehicles challenge is bugged for me as well. Stopped tracking about 1/3 of the way

[wild crypt]

Mine stopped tracking at 1145/1500 - it seems like it stopped tracking after one match

[acoustic obsidian]

Like the vehicles — especially the air vehicles (and most of all the jets)?

[twin geode]

Anyone's battlepass weeklys not doing anything????

Ive done 21 bonus path points and its added 0 to the winter offensive

[ancient patrol]

You are shure that this are bonus parh pounts and not regulary BP points?

[twin geode]

YEP

posted a screen of it on r/Battlefield6/

[crimson garden]

Penguin thanks BF6 for nice match over here 😎 🚀

[modest dome]

WHAT IF the kolibri pistol was added in this game

[amber belfry]

id rather have other meme weapons. like the 50bmg m1911

[heady quail]

why isnt repairing working? Im not getting score for it and its not adding to challenge progress

[crimson garden]

Penguin wonder, how many days is left of nice Season 1?

[acoustic spindle]

I think the winter event timer and the store bundles show 21 days remaining.

[crimson garden]

True, that might give us a idea. Many thanks friend from Penguin 😃

[heady quail]

season says 5 weeks

[crimson garden]

Penguin was bit late at getting the BF6 pro Battlepass, but that gives plenty of time to complete the final part. Penguin just 5 unlocks left on that one

[rain shale]

some kid on the ememy team said "get shit on" They won by 2 points. he aint that special lol

[acoustic spindle]

Should report them. Probably get banned

[crimson garden]

Penguin huge fan of the Antibullying ambassador part of your name, fully approved 😃

[fiery oxide]

People even say that after losing and doing terribly

[heady quail]

loses by 800 "GG EZ"

[amber belfry]

more then enough time

[crimson garden]

Penguin always report evil in the chat, both in Discord and ingame. Dealing with such swiftly will make nice results over time. For example the trolls will eventually get tired of always returning and eventually they find new hobby

[ripe hedge]

🤓

[smoky tiger]

is there any chance if bf6 will be on christmas sale

[crimson garden]

It's possible friend, but no guarantees can be given by Penguin about it 🚀

[haughty hatch]

SGX movement demon (74 mobility) or MP5 with synth ammo? 🤔

[wise tapir]

MP5 with synth sounds more fun lol

[devout torrent]

Hey guys I have a question for you do you think that Battlefield studio are making new Battlefield after butterfield 6 ?

[acoustic spindle]

Probably in two or three years before its release but yes

[devout torrent]

What do you think they will name it ?

[modest dome]

this game will last 3 years so im not expecting a new bf game next year

[limpid rampart]

try turning off some overlays. AMD Adrenalin was the one that worked for me once turned off

[ivory gull]

dude what gamemode do i have to queue to not get bot lobbies in one of the most active gaming countries on earth

[limpid rampart]

was working for me fine yest

[wind escarp]

Anyone notice if you deploy into the ocean during redsec you gain glitchy glide powers that actually help you navigate?

[ivory gull]

i’ve got conq, escalation, and breakthrough enabled

[wind escarp]

It sounds like im making this up but im not lol. When you walk off a surface you immediately start gliding like a parachute

[limpid rampart]

is that Asia?

[ivory gull]

US

[limpid rampart]

stoppped playing this game mode so can't comment

[limpid rampart]

bruh everyone sleeping there, waking up or getting ready for work wdym

[wind escarp]

Thats fair lol I like it sometimes though

[limpid rampart]

need a good team with excellent comms

[ivory gull]

not everyone works a 9-5 lmao, there are 100% enough players in NA for me to find a game

doesn't specify if in NA or not tho

[tight prism]

doesnt count ea app or console

[limpid rampart]

Yes, Tracker.gg pulls stats for games on the EA App (like Battlefield) and consoles, but you often need to link your console ID to an EA account and ensure in-game settings allow stat sharing for it to work correctly, especially for newer EA titles where cross-platform integration is key for tracking. It relies on the game's API, so it captures what's publicly available from your linked account, whether you're on PC (EA App/Steam) or console.

[valid roost]

The crash is with CreatePipelineState?

[valid roost]

These numbers are only pulling from steam charts, just FYI

[fiery oxide]

This is less than the current steamdb numbers

[tight prism]

it does not pull player count from ea and consoles… it even says steam online on tracker.gg

[tight prism]

is this a chatgpt reply?

[valid roost]

Imagine how many more would play if they added some DICE Verified modes to the host section on the server browser, and upped the BOTs that spawn when using BOT backfill to 19.

[young gate]

looks like it is lol

[tight prism]

lol

[candid jacinth]

Blue laser or light barrel? Which is better?

[valid roost]

What kind of weapon performance do you want. It depends

[candid jacinth]

I’ve been using the same setup for everything with as much mobility as possible

I have a strafe heavy play style

[valid roost]

Why do you want mobility? It barely affects movement speed

[fiery oxide]

You don't need alot of mobility

[candid jacinth]

Every 5 points you get Ads movement speed

[valid roost]

No you dont

[fiery oxide]

You get punished for moving while shooting

[young gate]

mobility has 0 effect on ads

[candid jacinth]

As far as I know you do

[valid roost]

IIRC, mobility only affects movement in steps of 15 points, and those differences are pretty tiny

[tight prism]

if that was true reddit would blow up

[young gate]

I first thought the mobility is or effects ads speed like in other fps games but it really doesn't, it is only the walk speed while you are aiming

[candid jacinth]

I’ve seen a mobility spreadsheet and I notice the difference between say 50-60 might be placebo tho

It’s just that they “fixed” the blue laser and I was wondering if it was worth running it sacrificing a suppressor

[valid roost]

AFAIK, Mobility does affect stuff like ADS speed, ADS movement speed, ADS accuracy (This one is really hard to test) and weapon draw speed. But its really minute affects, and to have a big impact on those things you need big swings in the value. (Like going from 20 to 60+)

The stats seem to act like multipliers of the other stats...but which also dont reflect on those stats. For example there is a displayed ADS speed shown...and while mobility can affect it...the number doesnt change.

Honestly BF6 weapon stats are kinda confusing, cos they dont explain what anything is REALLY doing.

[fiery oxide]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx8NMuVqBzY

That video seems to be right on the mark at what it does

[valid roost]

Seems to be pretty correct yeah. Mobility isnt a catch all for movement speed when ADS, or ADS strafe speed. Its a big mix of a bunch of things.

[ancient patrol]

Mobility only afects ads strafe speed. Ads speed has its own stat.

[ivory gull]

a little bit of teddy movement shiii
#screenshots-and-clips message

[valid roost]

It does not only do that

[ancient patrol]

Ok it also has some points in hipfire speed 🤷‍♂️

[valid roost]

And ADS speed, and also ADS accuracy. It is affected by a bunch of things

[orchid badger]

^^^

[ancient patrol]

No ads speed and ads accuracy have ther own stats. Yes some atachmants are positiv fore al this stats.

[valid roost]

Mobility still has an affect on those things. Its been tested

[candid jacinth]

So we don’t have hard data right?

[ancient patrol]

Who has testet this?

[valid roost]

There is a video posted right in the middle of this convo above

[lusty hollow]

yes it literally does do some research lmao

[ivory gull]

my hate for the SCW grows daily

i wish the UMP actually got some love in video games

i think it’s been bad in every single game it’s been featured in since modern warfare lol

[slim heart]

somebody with the same probs since the last update ? its nearly unplayable cause of undefinibly lags

[valid roost]

BF3 UMP was great. Its pretty terrible in BF6 tho

[slim heart]

crazy shit this game , getting worst every update

[ivory gull]

although tbh it is a little weird that the UMP is even in the game considering what time period this is in, but ig the same could be said about the MP5

[valid roost]

Its a pretty iconic weapon

[hollow totem]

How come?

[ivory gull]

it’s busted asf

[valid roost]

Its the bane of the avid CQC player lol

[hollow totem]

Just use it

[somber swallow]

[ivory gull]

no thanks

[hollow totem]

Why not?

[ivory gull]

i dont enjoy it

[hollow totem]

Your loss

[ancient patrol]

Ok. But and he say thet him self. It is a theorie. Nothing waht is 100% shure. But yes this theorie sounds understandable.

[young gate]

SCW-10 is one of my main weapons

[ancient patrol]

The bf6 ump feel more like a carbine 🤣

[valid roost]

You basically have to use it, if there are many others using it in the same server. Especialy on maps like Empire state

[ivory gull]

it is my loss and i will continue to lose to every bot that plays it and i will complain about it

[hollow totem]

I mean, the 3 hit kill is only up to 9.5m

[young gate]

[ivory gull]

losing too many cqc fights cause youre terrible? SCW!!

[young gate]

you can beat scw only with a shotgun

[ivory gull]

still rips even at medium range

[hollow totem]

Do be

You can spray like half mag before spread becomes an issue at medium range

[ivory gull]

the P90 and SCW need to swap recoil and bloom profiles

[valid roost]

they need to reduce CQC damage almost across the board, then remove the headshot multiplier ammo types, and increase the base HS multipliers across all weapons.

[hollow totem]

Meh I think it's fine

[ivory gull]

enders was in here earlier and we had this conversation for like 3 hours with 11 different people lol

[valid roost]

Im fine with dying at the speed I die to the current SCW if its to headshots. But not spray and pray to the body

[umbral rune]

I can admit when a player is good but this guy freakin jumped around corners and just blasted me. As in he was blasting everyone in the same/similar manners. Bro was a tryhard sweat, I couldn't even shoot him by the time he literally hopped out, would do some crazy maneuver and just blow my head smoove off

He went 70 and 10 bruh, I really do suck

[whole hare]

Has anyone been able to get Arctis Nova Pros to register as a 3d Audio source in BF6 ?

[valid roost]

Do you have spatial audio enabled on OS?

[ivory gull]

they removed the stun effect from the thermal assault launcher right?

[sturdy spindle]

its just one button press

was i that guy #screenshots-and-clips message

[lusty hollow]

idk i use IEMS for gaming

[hollow totem]

Decent iem's is much cheaper than anything else

[ivory gull]

if you mean the middest of all mid then probably

[sturdy spindle]

[lusty hollow]

mine were 350 bucks so not always lol

[ivory gull]

Mine rrp is double that xd But tbh Blessing Dusk2 was alrdy "good enough" and I couldve coped with it

I've got DTS Headphone: X enabled. Don't know if it's the right option though

Are you on W11?

[whole hare]

Yes

[lusty hollow]

IEMS make such a difference, i can legit hear someone on the enemy team getting resed in the same building as me or the zipline. People must think im hacking haha

[ancient patrol]

Iems?

[valid roost]

Click the audio icon bottom right of screen when on desktop (It should bring up the volume/wifi, BT options ETC) > click the icon on the right side of the audio volume slider > You should see a spatial sound menu with options. what does that say?

[lusty hollow]

in ear monitors. its what musicians use when doing live performances and they (usually) have better sound profiles

[ancient patrol]

Oh

[lusty hollow]

man i swear the game wants me to play liberation peak - ive played 106 games of the map and the next best is mirak valley at 84 lol

[tired flower]

Liberation Peak is Peak

[hollow totem]

I mean, it's just that most closed headphones suck, especially the "gamer" ones. In reality IEM's have the worst hearing ceiling, but easiest not to f up, good speakers setup being the best

[ivory gull]

for escalation it’s super fun

[lusty hollow]

74% win rate on the map too lol

[lusty hollow]

cant stand speakers but i get where you are coming from

[tired flower]

Got 57 hours on that map apparently 💃

[hollow totem]

You need to angle them properly, treat the room and stuff. But I just default to IEM's just like you

[lusty hollow]

eastwood is slowly becoming my 4th most played map ever - love that map

[tired flower]

Same

[lusty hollow]

also got a 64% win rate on eastwood geeze

[hollow totem]

I was just testing p90 in shooting range cuz someone mentioned it and damn it sucks xd

[valid roost]

Ive been using the same headphones for 12 years now. Still love them for directional audio and general sound. Audio Technica ATH AD700Xs

[tired flower]

I really liked Mirak BT before the most recent changes but now it's back on the stinky list

[lusty hollow]

yeah the gun is cheeks - im trying to get all SMGs elite atm and its the 6th one im working on and man its ass

[ivory gull]

whole gamemode is on the stinky list

[hollow totem]

I just can't deal with open headphones when gaming, don't have a perfectly quiet room

[tired flower]

......yeah....... yet I still play it

[lusty hollow]

its fine - i just blow up the tanks since 90% of people dont know how to use a tank anyways lol

[tired flower]

When blackwell fields is one of the more balanced maps there's an issue

[tired flower]

It's not the tanks, it's the new zone layouts (imo)

[ivory gull]

this is definitely not my experience. we can have 6 people shooting at tanks and nothing dies, especially on Mirak

[lusty hollow]

i dont know why they made the one on empire state so damn big lol its massive now

[tired flower]

Manhattan bridge Sector 2 A kills me inside

[lusty hollow]

manhattan is just awful for breakthrough in general

[hollow totem]

Empire state breakthrough first zone is straight up killed, it was pretty exciting before they just baby moded it

[lusty hollow]

that first zone is complete ass for both sides and not fun at all, idk how they thought it was balanced

[ancient patrol]

I love the p90

[lusty hollow]

not when you verse a vector or MP5, it gets deleted

[ancient patrol]

I abolut hate empire state

[hollow totem]

ngl I love defending it, always pick up MS and defend the shoreline as a one man army, the first zone

[wind escarp]

Graphics though

[lusty hollow]

tbf i dont see many people using the SCW idk why, i mostly get mapped by the MP5 in my lobbies

[hollow totem]

cuz you need to level the gun before you get enough bullets

[ancient patrol]

Waht?

[lusty hollow]

my first elite was the vector so nothing phases me anymore haha

[hollow totem]

Every time I think "damn what gun did this guy have" in cqc is a fellow scw enjoyer xd

[wind escarp]

Map look pretty

[lusty hollow]

one gun i havent died to yet is the new shottie - granted, its awful but still

[hollow totem]

I don't even have it unlocked

[lusty hollow]

i have it like level 19 and even with slugs its buns

[ancient patrol]

Yes. But it plays horible. I have no fun playing this map.

[wind escarp]

True lol

[hollow totem]

Plays better than sobek all I can say

[lusty hollow]

oh neat i played my 600th MP map this evening

[whole hare]

Hah Spatial Sound Off and no option to toggle on...

[hollow totem]

Honestly I'd dare to say that I like Empire State more now than both Iberian and Firestorm

[lusty hollow]

iberian is way more bearable to get out of a spawn trap tho

Empire at E is awful to be stuck in

[hollow totem]

I guess I'm the one spawn trapping in empire

Any ideas when they will add zip lines to the 20 roofs on Manhatten? Map is either dogshit or one of the best, depending on how many ppl are roof camping

[tall zinc]

arctis nova
--
how are these plugged into your pc exactly?

[umbral rune]

Wdym?

[whole hare]

Ok I found the issue. The headphones plug in via a DAC and I can use the proprietary EQ engine to activate spatial audio or some form of it there or I can bypass the EQ engine and activate W11 Spatial Audio.

[vital vessel]

ea launcher dosnt work right now?

[tall zinc]

yes this is what I was going to say, ST does not allow for native integration of dts:x, and neither does it work over analog either, dts:x specifically uses their own engine

[stone timber]

Headphone talk going on?

For 3D audio, I've had the best results with DTS X, it's a free trial for 2 weeks, then €20 for a lifetime license, I thought it was worth it. There's no auto renewal or anything after the trial.

[tall zinc]

headphones no not exactly, more quirks with support via specific headsets

[stone timber]

ah

[opaque rampart]

I use hds560 or iems with a cheap fosi amp

[valid roost]

At least they now allow the 3D audio stuff to work with USB interfaces. That was fixed 2 updates ago I believe

[tall zinc]

the usb interf is a signal converter so that will work yeah, your stability with it, separate question

[alpine quiver]

Dice wants to add a competitive scene to this game, but the problem is that mechanicly, this game has no skill ceilling and the audio isn't good, there is no directionality you can't tell at what position of your enemy even with headphones. Bf2042 had an amazing footstep audio, why are they keep going backwards.

[stone timber]

I use planar magnetic headphones, very good imaging and detail, makes it very easy to make out subtle sounds. I honestly feel like after the update to footstep audio, it's harder to judge distance now

[tall zinc]

running between the streams generally not great but that's how stuff is

[stone timber]

My amp is a little underpowered, so I had to use a balanced cable just to squeeze as much power out of it as possible...

[opaque rampart]

Teammates stomping around always scaring me

[stone timber]

directionality is really good with 3D headphones or virtual spacial audio, Including sounds above and bellow

[tall zinc]

audiophile headphones generally pretty bad for gaming as things go, no VSS for most means you're more or less defacto handicapped

[opaque rampart]

No way

[tall zinc]

different markets different things

[opaque rampart]

I didnt know

[sturdy spindle]

slide or jump

[stone timber]

That depends on the specific headphone, something with very neutral mids and subdued bass response, like the HD 600, HD 650 and HD 6XX are excellent for gaming

[alpine quiver]

You shouldn't need this, bf1 and 2042 did this really well, without needing all of this

[valid roost]

Stuff like this isnt audiophile category. Its generic headphone category

[stone timber]

2042 had built in virtual surround, I believe

[tall zinc]

these are not audiophile headphones

[whole hare]

Ok but then I guess now I just need to determine if going through the proprietary EQ or using DTS is the better option. Thanks !

[stone timber]

fine, 'mid-fi' if you think price is the factor, but they're popular in the audiophile hobby for their neutral mids

[tall zinc]

won't work great, the game doesn't recognise proprietary EQ's in terms of implementation (they don't exist), and ST specifically uses the windows audio driver for funneling things, it's better than nothing, but don't expect miracles, DTS is always better

[jagged chasm]

Am new to BF6 and just wondering why there no XP on portals ?

[stone timber]

Besides, VSS is possible for any headphone if you use third party software

[tall zinc]

yeah but those are fake and extremely bad, you can't overcome hardware limitations

[whole hare]

When I use Sonar (the internal engine) it registers as 7.1 speakers so I guess that's alright

[tall zinc]

7.1 is diff to 3d audio, they'll register for that fine ye

[stone timber]

Virtial surround is, at the end of the day, just signal processing. Unless the headphones use multiple drivers, virtual surround is just virtual. Any adjustement beyond that can be done with EQ.

[tall zinc]

ye and most (gaming) ones use multiple drivers

[wild crypt]

i just used the kv9 for the first time and god damn, atleast on smaller maps like domination, that thing is busted as hell 🤔

[stone timber]

The placement is still really good with DTS X, and it's easy to judge distance, directions, and make out how many enemies there are, even if it's a little more tinny, but you can still adjust adjust the pinna gain to make it sound more natural through EQ. I think it's a bit hyperbolic to say that it sucks.

[stone timber]

KV9 my beloved

[tribal zodiac]

I like my HD 560s'

[stone timber]

I've heard good things about them

[ivory gull]

omg omg omg new internet day

[primal nova]

The humble RPG

[valid roost]

I have a set of 560s, but their ear cup shape is too small, and they have way too much pressure for my liking.

[stone timber]

Anyway, my point is that if the headphones are detailed and neutral, you're willing to get into very minor EQ, and you value placement and directionality, they can be good for gaming with softwar VSS

windows sonic sucks, though

[tribal zodiac]

Yes

[primal nova]

First time seeing headphone nerds. Yall are a rare species.

[tribal zodiac]

Good riddance, comcast

[stone timber]

it's a dreadful affliction

[primal nova]

[stone timber]

quick way to drain you bank account

[primal nova]

I jus got a random turtlebeach headset. And i probably wont switch till it breaks apart.

[tribal zodiac]

Idc much for headphones but i know most gaming "headsets" are complete buns

[stone timber]

nah, gaming headsets have come a long way, acctually

[primal nova]

I got other stuff to worry about. Like cooling and stuff. Its a tough world. Gaming on a laptop

[amber belfry]

i love my dt 770 pro 80ohms. best "cheap" pair of headphones ive had

[amber belfry]

a cheap studio headphone will blow any gamer headset/headphone out of the water

[stone timber]

the main thing about gaming headsets is that you pay a bit of gamer tax on it. You can often get something equivalent for cheaper if you buy a standalone pair of headphones and microphone

[primal nova]

Over 150£?

[amber belfry]

in the audiophile world thats incredibly cheap. and i got them for 130 euro at the time. thats closer to a 110 pounds

[primal nova]

I consider a freddo to be expensive with inflation

[stone timber]

if you want bang for your buch hifi, HiFiMan is a good brand, build quality varies though

[amber belfry]

i got them in 2022, idk what the inflation would be since then

[stone timber]

I have the hifiman edition XS, excellent headphones for around €260

they're currently at a perfect spot when it come for price/performance

[lusty hollow]

Just hit 240 hours played. I need to get better to go back to work lol

[odd plume]

bf6 servers are down?

[modest dome]

rn, i only have 133 hrs

[stone timber]

I have 200 hours

[somber swallow]

I have 292

[stone timber]

btw, there are plenty of excellent cheaper headphones, too

Just look for reviews from people who specialise in audio, rather than general tech

[tall zinc]

valid

[stone timber]

I used to have those old razer headphones, like 10 years ago, that had 7 physical drivers, and two subwoofers in mono, bizarre headphones, but I loved them at the time

[rugged mango]

I find audiophile headphones work better than gaming headphones in terms of imaging and soundstage

I can pinpoint where people are

[modest dome]

i used redragon anvil gs520, beat that 💀

[valid roost]

Most "Gaming" headphones are just re-shelled cheap headphones anyway.

[stone timber]

it makes music sound a little cursed, though lol

[wild crypt]

why do i even bother playing medic when most people just skip as soon as they die

[valid roost]

So you can heal and resupply yourself, as well as place deployable cover for you and your team on objectives.

[stone timber]

[valid roost]

Consider the reviving element as secondary and youll have a better time haha

[sacred vigil]

in the battle pass if i will not use the bf pro token will i be able to use it in battle pass 2?

[valid roost]

No

[somber swallow]

The struggle us medics face 😔

[valid roost]

the BF Pro token received with the Edition of the game was only for season 1 BP.

[sacred vigil]

so if i will not use it. the token will be delete?

[tall zinc]

yes

[sacred vigil]

oof

[stone timber]

btw, when it comes to gaming headsets, on the previous topic, there are some very good ones, these days. I haven't tried them, but I've heard the HyperX Cloud III S wireless are good

[valid roost]

I dont know much about the Cloud III S, but the regular Cloud III Wireless is not very good.

[stone timber]

I'm just parroting what the headphone show said, tbh, but I've liked their takes in the past

[valid roost]

Almost everyone should avoid the Cloud III Wireless IMO. Its a pretty bad set. Bad audio and mic quality.

[wild crypt]

me: wastes smoke to try to get them up
them: skips

[valid roost]

There is a dramatic difference between the Wired and Wireless Cloud IIIs. The III S seems to be much better, based on some reports and reviews ive seen

[wild crypt]

(not directed at bsod)

[somber swallow]

[daring turtle]

Only few more weeks for the promised vehicle balance pass and air radar we asked for over 6 months

[wild crypt]

i use more of what i think are studio-ish headphones but they perform well enough that i can reasonably determine where the sound of someone walking is coming from - Audeze Maxwells

[valid roost]

[frosty fable]

Is there a channel for clans and recruiting?

[daring turtle]

Alpha Labs Beta but was kinda short to give realistic feedback

Even then they ignored super useful stuff around vehicles

Because main game is redsec and sell skins

[valid roost]

You arent a member of the labs server for feedback appraisal, so how would you know?

[stone timber]

the ones that hold out and call for help right until the moment you get to them, when they're clear, after you wasted your smokes, make me want to uninstall

[wild crypt]

labs server.. sounds fancy 👀

[wild crypt]

i try to use the 'incoming' ping but the option showing up is really inconsistent for me for some reason

[stone timber]

yeah, that bugs the hell out of me, too

[valid roost]

Yeah, the incoming pinging is really bad. Youll try to do it and instead ping some random object between you and the player youre trying to inform

[stone timber]

I miss the training path in BFV where you ran faster if you pinged a downed player

[wild crypt]

at this point i try to hope that when i throw a smoke on their dead body, they get the message, but they usually don't

[silent halo]

Anyone here running a 4080 on 4K? Whats is your FPS?

[amber belfry]

i did for a while. 4k dlss qualit with a mix of high and ultra settings, always 100-120 ish. map and gamemode depending. but its a 4080s not 4080

[wild crypt]

stupid question: Does the size of a scope affect ADS speed at all? like if i have a 6x versus a 2x?

[silent halo]

I’m getting like 70fps with a 4080 Super. Something in the setting must be messed up

[amber belfry]

whats the rest of your specs. and are you on native or using dlaa or dlss?

[silent halo]

I’m on DLSS

32gb ram

M.2 ssd

[stone timber]

if you press C while modding your gun, you can see the ADS speed stat

[valid roost]

2807960

[amber belfry]

ig dlss must have just done the heavy lifting for me. testing 4k ultra with DLAA in the range gets me high 90s low 100s. that would translate to around 70-90 ingame

or the perf has gotten that much worse since launch. since ive been on 1440p for a hot minute

[amber belfry]

dlss quality instantly boosts it to 140-150 so 120-130 ingame

[valid roost]

There are a few simple things you can do to check if your GPU is under performing.

• Using an overlay, or program like HWinfo, check for GPU utilization when in game and at load. At 4K, you should be 90%+ GPU usage or higher most of the time

• If its low, use something like GPU-Z to make sure you're running at the expected PCIE speed (16x PCIE 4.0). Run the render test to confirm it swaps to this at load.

If this doesnt reach 16x 4.0...make sure you have a motherboard/CPU supporting x16 4.0.

If no issues here, DDU your GPU driver in safe mode, re-install the latest GPU driver (591.44 is current latest)

[rugged mango]

[swift harness]

Hi, can anyone help me? I turned on secure boot and now my PC is like. Bricked.

It won't connect the the monitor that is directly plugged into it via HDMI and I'm not sure if I can even load into bios because I can't see anything

[stone timber]

secure boot shouldn't affect your HDMI, as far as I'm aware

[paper sonnet]

A lot of us left COD to play BF6, and it's a decent game, but they aren't fixing anything. Not saying Activision does much, but BF6 has been out now for over 2 months and it's still buggy af. The sound is horrible, consoles constantly crash, etc.

[stone timber]

correction: it's buggier than at launch

[paper sonnet]

Touche

[rugged mango]

dice for the love of God fix your fucking game

[paper sonnet]

If I can play 5 games with 2 crashes, im lucky

[swift harness]

Secure boot is the only thing that changed. It said I couldn't use secure boot without enrolling an SK key so I enrolled an SK key and enabled secureboot and now my PC which I use for work, which has my entire life on it, is completely unusable.

[analog locust]

this. their fixes have only mostly made things worse when it comes the ability to play the game, progression and skins have been more important than the minute to minute

[obtuse pollen]

Fastest way to rank up?

[analog locust]

bot exploit with auto exploding car I think?

[drowsy condor]

dont give him ideas smh

[swift harness]

Any advice is appreciated.

[obtuse pollen]

What's that?

[stone timber]

they suspended BF Labs to focus on season 1, right? I think they only resumed a week before the last update... I really hope that's the reason the patches haven't been properly tested. I really hope they actually fix shit in the next update, because I'm getting frustrated, too. I haven't been as badly affected as friends, but I basically play alone right now because my usual squad is either sick or have massive stutter problems

[valid roost]

They've actually deliberately made it worse to play in a few ways. Like yes they gave us custom servers and portal...but with the changes to how full XP servers are able to be played (Requiring 6 players minimum before you can even play)...they essentially killed all custom games and the server browser.

[sand shore]

Yeah im getting stuttery audio on ps5.

[stone timber]

I guess you could flash your bios and see if that helps. Look up how to do that for your mobo

[swift harness]

I can't flash my bios because I can't see anything

I don't get a Powerspec splash on startup

[valid roost]

Before they nerfed all the XP and made the changes to how BOT enabled servers functioned and started...the server browser was full of playable and mostly fun servers.

Right now there isnt even 1 server running non hardcore Conquest in Europe.

[swift harness]

Or a windows logo or anything. My PC no longer recognizes my only monitor.

[stone timber]

worst case scenario, you can remove the cmos battery and put it back in, that will flash your bios

[valid roost]

*reset your BIOs

[swift harness]

What's a CMOS battery?

[valid roost]

Its that big round battery looking thing attached to yuor motherboard

[cursive walrus]

Guys has this game calmed down and teams cooperate? I quit because people wouldn't be a team

[stone timber]

it's the battery that makes sure the memory that stores bios settings have power. Google your motherboard model for where to find it

[swift harness]

I dont know what my motherboard model is

[tired flower]

The only MP shooter that I've played where people consistently play as a team is DRG

[stone timber]

you can find your motherboard model in system information. Press the windows key, type 'sysinfo,' and open system information. Your motherboard model should be under 'BaseBoard Product'

[cursive walrus]

Oh, alright. I'm cutting my losses and just sticking to casual then

[analog locust]

How people have issues with secure boot in 2025/6 is beyond me

[swift harness]

I turned it on and my PC does not work anymore. I don't know what to tell you.

[valid roost]

Im gonna go out on a limb here and say they have a Gigabyte mobo...cos their secure boot stuff is a mess

[stone timber]

leading with a carrot rather than a stick to get the team to cooperate is usually the best way to go. Not that it always works, but usually you just see "Team ##### the #### ####### ####### cod noobs" and that's the only attempt to coordinate

[swift harness]

I cannot do that because it won't connect to a display.

[stone timber]

I forgot you couldn't get in, sorry

[valid roost]

Look at your motherboard and find its name then. Help us help you

[opaque rampart]

Lmao. The 15 recons in the back are part of the experience

[stone timber]

If you google Cmos battery you'll find out what it looks like

[opaque rampart]

Having a squad with you makes you so insanely overpowered

[cursive walrus]

I have no friends that play and I don't wanna play with randoms

[swift harness]

It says "amd crossfire" on it

[surreal mortar]

does anyone know how fast ea support looks at an appeal case

[stone timber]

We almost always play as a 3 man squad on discord, and we have been the same 3 people since... BF3 lol

[opaque rampart]

Youre gonna have to make friends here. Having a squad to make plays with is unreal. Having a friend trade rpg with you for example can pressure a tank so much vs hoping randoms will

[cursive walrus]

Respectfully I'm not confident enough to talk to strangers I have a hard enough time talking to my siblings

[swift harness]

I can't find a Cmoss battery anywhere

[opaque rampart]

Well socializing is the most important skill, you better work on it ASAP. Someone who can communicate succeeds at games and at life

[stone timber]

We often move as a squad of an engineer, a support and a spec op recon, great for hunting tanks

[calm gust]

Based on all of my EA support responses not quickly. They give such canned responses and haven't fixed anything that I've requested yet.

[cursive walrus]

Yea which is why I deliberately got a career that has minimal social interaction

[calm gust]

I've basically just given up on asking EA for anything, they don't care and are alienating their longtime fan base for sure.

[surreal mortar]

damn, i got suspended yesterday evening and i filed an appeal, it says theres a new status on me case but i dont see nothing

[calm gust]

I hope you get it resolved but they have yet to resolve anything I've asked them about for months weeks

[surreal mortar]

what have you asked about?

[swift harness]

You're telling me I have to uninstall my graphics card to get my PC working again?

[stone timber]

I've reported a lot of people for their chat messages that are clear violations of the rules, and it never leads to anything, bad support

[rich torrent]

I've still got a case from the Open Beta and about 6 to 8 weeks ago, both with no response.

EA Support is useless.

[stone timber]

did you look up what it looks like?

[calm gust]

BF Labs rewards, BF veteran rewards. I was in Labs and I have veteran status 9 and they basically told me "we can't edit the game" .... you are EA. You can do whatever you want to my account.

[swift harness]

Jesus Christ how are casual PC gamers supposed to play this game if the installation process involves rooting around in your BIOS??

[surreal mortar]

damn thats tragic, they have the power to haha

[rich torrent]

Majority of people don't need to do this.

[calm gust]

Secure boot is going to be required for many games so you are going to have to root around in BIOS. XMP requires BIOS, this is the way in 2025 +.

[swift harness]

Yeah, I'd have to uninstall my graphics card and I don't have the tools or experience to do that safely

[opaque rampart]

Just whack it with a broom

[swift harness]

Well I enabled it and my PC doesn't work anymore.

[stone timber]

watch a youtube video, reseating your graphics card only requires a regular screwdriver at worst

[swift harness]

I don't have one.

[stone timber]

a screwdriver?

[opaque rampart]

[somber swallow]

😭

[calm gust]

I agree and that's why I've given up. I think I may just quit the game, they don't care to help anyone, and the hidden changes to not showing ticket counts on map etc just make me irritated. You hide the tickets when you join in progress so we don't just leave the game? Frustrating

[swift harness]

No. I don't have a screwdriver. I was homeless until November because I'm disabled and can't work.

I don't have much and this PC is effectively my entire life which is why I'm trying to get it fixed

[somber swallow]

Ah sorry to hear that man I’m happy u found a place

[stone timber]

I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm not sure how to help you if you can't get a screwdriver. There is a cmos battery on your motherboard, you should try to find it, I can't do that for you. I can't magically find your motherboard model for you, or tell you how to remove your GPU without a screwdriver, unless it uses thumbscrews, which it might. At some point you're going to have to look up how to do those things.

[surreal mortar]

yeah i did notice that they hide the score when you join a late game, its annoying

[calm gust]

That change amongst other things is very shady. I don't believe they mentioned that in any patch note because they clearly want to obfuscate the information from us. If I join a super late losing game I'm not going to just sit there and take it.

[stone timber]

Battlefield bugs work in mysterious ways

[modest dome]

im surprise that EA is now owned by a saudi company fund

[stone timber]

Not until 2027

[little kindle]

So, who cares rly? Xbox bought so many studios and hasn't done anything for years now.

[upbeat spade]

Oil worker skin coming soon

Saudi prince Recon skin coming soon

[split crypt]

Honestly not sure what good or bad it will do tbh

[modest dome]

this aint cod @upbeat spade

[stone timber]

Well, it's putting EA in a LOT of debt, and that could shift their focus more aggressively towards microtransactions and skinnerbox monetization, and the saudi royal family does fun stuff like assassinate journalists

[upbeat spade]

Sorry forgot to add /s to my message that's my fault

[swift harness]

So, I just pull the battery out?

[stone timber]

yeah

[willow lintel]

Wait 30 seconds before you put it back in

[stone timber]

then put it back in after a few seconds

oh you said that lol

[willow lintel]

30 might be overkill but I think you need to let the capacitors discharge or something

[summer relic]

Modern pcs don’t even need to fiddle in bios for secure boot. Everything was default set on for me when I reinstalled windows 🤣

[stone timber]

I'd use proper protection with my computer...

An anti-static band, of course.

[swift harness]

Ok, now I reinstall the graphics card and power it up?

And it should have reset the bios?

[upbeat spade]

Are you building a PC and asking people in a battlefield discord for help

Oh nvm

[swift harness]

Battlefield 6 told me to turn on secureboot. I turned on secure boot. My PC stopped working.

[upbeat spade]

Is your bios set to uefi and all that

[swift harness]

Yes

[stone timber]

if it was a bios issue, then you shouldn't need to do anything to the GPU

[swift harness]

The battery is under the gpu

[edgy bone]

Is the main os drive using an MBR or GPT partition table

[calm gust]

You should be able to just lookup a 1 minute video on removing and reseating a GPU. It is very very minimal work

[upbeat spade]

If windows won't boot; it might either be a Windows issue now. If you can go back to CSM and turn off secure boot and see if it boots again

[stone timber]

yeah, the battery is just to store bios settings. Pulling it out resets them, so if the problem was with your bios, then that should be fixed. If not, then something else is wrong

[swift harness]

I don't know what that means. I just wanted to play battlefield.

[lucid oriole]

yeah just do a combination of Chatgpt and youtube to find a solution

[edgy bone]

LMAO

[summer relic]

No one uses MBR anymore. It’s old dinosaur

[stone timber]

if you pulled the battery out, waited, then put it in again, it's time to see if the PC boots now

[edgy bone]

Yeah that's why I asked, because it causes problems and there are tons of people still using it because they simply don't know

[stone timber]

if not, we'll troubleshoot from there

[lucid oriole]

bro said stick around dont leave lol free troubleshooting technicians

[upbeat spade]

Honestly fly one of us out. We will trouble shoot the thing

[lucid oriole]

might as well buy a new pc at that point lol

[swift harness]

I think that fixed it.

[summer relic]

[lucid oriole]

hacker man

[stone timber]

Awesome! Try to enable secure boot now, and see if that works now. If not, remove the battery again, and search online why this might be happening. If you can boot now, it's a good time to check sysinfo what motherboard you have

[upbeat spade]

Nice time to field and battle

[swift harness]

Secure boot is the only reason my PC stopped functioning. Why on God's green flat earth would I enable it

[willow lintel]

Because you want to play battlefield

[swift harness]

A momentary lapse in reason

[stone timber]

so you can play modern games. I'd hazard to guess the issue itself is something related to, but not specifically secure boot

[lucid oriole]

yeah dont you want to play a game that crashes my pc everytime i leave a game

[summer relic]

I bet it’s MBR partition

[upbeat spade]

I remember when I had to buy a whole new motherboard when games started to implement TPM requirement.

[swift harness]

Ok, so if I try and enable Secure boot it says I need to enroll an SK key. Should I do that?

[upbeat spade]

Yes

[stone timber]

it's very messed up that windows 11 requires TPM2, especially when encryption isn't on by default

[swift harness]

It's possible. We got this second hand.

[tall zinc]

one of your drives has an MBR partition, note this for any drive on the system there is a module called CSM, compatibility support mode, this allows you to work with MBR however for secure boot entitlement this must be explicitly disabled, so if you can no longer boot then this is the reason why, revert the change and turn off secure boot, you should be in a usable state, but you'll need to format/convert the drive to GPT

[stone timber]

If you continue having trouble, feel free to send me a friend request, VHS

[tall zinc]

there are technical reasons beyond that, it's actually a very good thing

[swift harness]

I'm not reformatting my hard drive to play a game I'll uninstall in a month.

[tall zinc]

then you won't be able to boot the game

[upbeat spade]

Would he need to reinstall windows to change format

[swift harness]

Then I won't play Battlefield 6

[stone timber]

I mean... Yes and no, right? It also leaves millions and millions of PCs unsecure, I feel like the requirement for TPM2 is a bit premature

[tall zinc]

no, well, maybe not, it detects on the partition layout specifically

[swift harness]

They.

[upbeat spade]

Forgive me. They*

[tall zinc]

nothing premature, the technology has been around for nearly a decade, and has support via all zen+/intel 7th gen processors forward, there is a technical reason this exclusion applies because zen 1 and older intel generations cannot accelerate SLAT via GMET, so if this is enabled performance dives by around 40% for doing anything, it is enabled for a good reason beyond user security which is it makes it impossible to use software spoofers for games aswell

[stone timber]

my friend couldn't activate secure boot, and it turned out he had a whole, old windows installation on a partition on a secondary drive

[stone timber]

I'm saying that requiring it for W11 is premature, because so many old computers are still in use. It only makes a minority of computers safer, while leaving most PCs running windows 10 much more vulnerable after they've dropped support.

[swift harness]

we checked, one of our drives is in fact MBR

Will reformatting it erase all the stuff on it?

[stone timber]

Is it a different drive than the C drive?

[tall zinc]

you are not required to have this to install windows 11, you are required for this to play games, you can install windows 11 on unsupported platforms perfectly fine with no external tools

[stone timber]

I meant the TPM2 module

[tall zinc]

yes, you can try converting the drive using mbr2gpt, but this isn't guaranteed to work

[swift harness]

Yes, it's the D drive

[tawdry mountain]

SUGGESTION @dire prairie - Give people who leave a BR match a penalty timeout for BR games if they leave too early in a game. Within the first 5 minutes fx.

[tall zinc]

tpm2 is not a hard requirement, it's a soft requirement, the official hard requirement is tpm1.2, which goes all the way back to intel 4th generation onwards

[swift harness]

if it doesn't work, will i lose data?

[tall zinc]

if it doesn't work yes you'll need to format the drive, advice is back up the data to your c drive and then transfer it back over after

[stone timber]

there are still millions of computers that run W10 that can't be upgraded to W11 by a layman

[tall zinc]

doesn't particularly matter, it's really for their own good, enforcing security features is good for end users, whether they are aware of it are not is a separate question

[swift harness]

wait. Wait the D drive is JUST system reserved. It has a capacity of 578 MB

[tall zinc]

and if you're using a processor so old that this classifies under you're already vulnerable

[tall zinc]

system reserved means it's a windows partition, you have the partition for your main sys across on this drive

[swift harness]

so wouldn't it brick my pc if i reformatted it? since windows would be gone?

[tall zinc]

if you take this drive out or if it dies you will not be able to boot either

[stone timber]

You could also shrink the partition, create a new partition, move all the files to the new partition, remove the old partition, then grow the new partition

[tawdry mountain]

seems you are a little in over your head. Its normal with reserved partitions.

[tall zinc]

windows will remain, the partition on the d drive however is required, you need to shrink the c drive and recreate the partition on there

[swift harness]

all our files ARE on the new partition. Everything's in C and E drives. only D is the partitioned MBR one

[tall zinc]

I'm not quite sure how you ended up in this state, the only way is tampering with boot records but oh well

[swift harness]

Second-hand PC. our roommate probably partitioned it

[tall zinc]

makes sense

[stone timber]

if D is empty, then you can just format it without worrying

[tall zinc]

DO NOT format the d drive, ABSOLUTELY DO NOT (yet)

[upbeat spade]

Are they SSD

[tall zinc]

you need to move this partition over, do not do anything else before it

[swift harness]

there's no risk of there being system files on it? it says there's 419 MB of used space

but the windows file explorer says it's empty

[tall zinc]

you will not be able to view this sort of data via file explorer

[gleaming quiver]

time to FIX AIR RADAR

[swift harness]

My roommate is not SSD, no (joking /j)

[tall zinc]

you will need to mount the drive, it likely contains EFI boot records, but no absolutely do not purge it or you aren't going to be able to boot

[swift harness]

we dunno how to check if they're SSD or HDD

[tall zinc]

migrate the partition over to the c drive, and recreate the expected windows boot records via bcedit because windows currently is expecting to mount across to that drive

once this is done, you can format after

[swift harness]

we dont know how to do that

[stone timber]

I have made this mistake more than once 😎

Well, related mistake, but I erased the boot record, anyway

[tall zinc]

ok, well first thing you need to do is get a kind of recoverable media, burn windows to an usb so that if you get into a unrecoverable state your pc isn't totally unusable and you can just reinstall windows

[swift harness]

we dont have a USB

[silent halo]

No. Desktop.

[upbeat spade]

I'm only wondering bc if you reinstall windows; I'd make sure to install it on the SSD and keep HDD as the storage. Unsure of the drive set up for your setup

[tall zinc]

don't do anything just now and get one then, because you are risking the pc being rendered unbootable entirely

[swift harness]

it's just gonna have to stay like this. We dont have the spoons to change all this garbage

[stone timber]

I have to dip for a few minutes

[hollow totem]

Why would you ever want fake spatials?

[silent halo]

I’m gonna get on my PC shortly to see all my settings. I should be getting more than 70fps on a 4080 Super @ 4K

[swift harness]

ty for all your help, Owl. genuinely. you're a great enby.

[tall zinc]

this won't work, at least not unless all the drives are wiped, windows default behaviour is to not delete any partitions and to use them instead if they exist on any drive because of things like security keys

[stone timber]

I can help you later if you want

[hollow totem]

Oh my discord was scrolled up, replied to 2h message lol

[upbeat spade]

Ic

[stone timber]

there's VSS software that does a good job with directionality and separation, if you don't mind that it's a bit more tinny, then you just EQ in the 2 kHz - 5 kHz region until it sounds good to you

[hollow totem]

it's literally just an EQ preset

oh look let me just cut out mids and it will sound more spacious (no directionality change)

[proven temple]

Is there any new tank disabling in redsec? One guy threy something like thermite on the tank and it burned up, didnt explode

[coarse narwhal]

There was an announcement as to why the package "Ursus Major" disappeared?

[tall zinc]

yes, you can disable heavy armour in redsec by sabotaging them from behind, this makes them immobile and you sustain tick damage (fire), it isn't new and has been there since day 1

[stone timber]

I'm talking about using something like DTS X combined with Equalizer APO. DTS X doesn't just cut the mids, it is full virtualised spatial audio that applies EQ to directional audio in games that support 3D headphones, so it doesn't apply it to all directions across the board

[proven temple]

Is it some item? Lookd like he threw it on me

[tall zinc]

nope, it's literally just a prompt

it may appear as if he threw it because it appears immediately but, it's not an item

[hollow totem]

that's outside of the game?

[stone timber]

DTS X works on a driver level. If you listen to stereo sources it will just scoop the mids, though

[hollow totem]

What do you think exactly "3D headphones" means?

[valid roost]

Yeah, just run up to the armor and there will be a prompt to sabotage. You can even do multiple sabotage from different playrs on the same vehicle. It both damages the vehicle, and the players inside until they get out

[upbeat spade]

I been using Dolby access on Windows. I was honestly impressed by it

[stone timber]

the 3D headphone setting uses stereo as fallback unless you turn on virtual surround, or have proper 3D headphones

Dolby Access and Windows Sonic are also driver level

Windows Sonic is underwhelming, though

[hollow totem]

ok but how do you think 3d headphones differ from studio headphones?

[stone timber]

Well, mostly they don't, except for the ones that have multiple drivers. Most of them use virtual surround sound built into their DAC

[valid roost]

I have Dolby Atmos active as my spatial setting in windows. I think I got a free key for it ages ago

[upbeat spade]

Speaking of headphones etc. what are you guys using? I been looking into gaming iems etc

[hollow totem]

and what do you think the dac does? for spatial?

[upbeat spade]

Same I remember getting that free key as well. It's a nice improvement than standard

[odd flame]

will bf6 ever have a lvl cap? i saw some lvl 500+ players and thought about that

[upbeat spade]

Have to flex unemployment status somehow

[stone timber]

It takes a surround source and applies EQ based on channel, and for full spatial audio, it applies EQ per object

[odd flame]

yeah you are right, i never used those bot farms and am only lvl 66, played one portal since launch

[hollow totem]

Per object? It has a continuos unidentified signal

[tight wolf]

Having trouble with the EOD bot, I drive behind tanks and plant the mines, but the mines never go off when the tank drives over them

[upbeat spade]

Dude. Same kinda. I'm only level 92 and I'm like; how are these people leveling so fast

[tight wolf]

IS there a minimium arming distance required so you can't just throw mines at the tank tracks?

[hollow totem]

It's like DLSS with games vector information versous plain image kinda thing

[stone timber]

You were essentially claiming that all vss does is scoop the middle across all channels

[hollow totem]

When it's done outside of games engine? yeah

[sly bloom]

Any active portal maps

[tight wolf]

I did seem to level up a lot quicker when I did redsec compared to mp

[stone timber]

yeah. But we were talking about games???

[tight wolf]

mostly as I was just spamming missions
