battlefield-6

[marble stag]

(At work, regulated, it's not like i'm doing this in public places just to clarify)

[empty topaz]

dude, it was a normal USB stick with my sister's vacation on it lmao

[marble stag]

Good riddance to not just stick any USB you don't know in your computer kek

[winter atlas]

"The house is not getting built fast enough. Just set the lawyer and the accountant to build it." Makes perfect sense 😄

[marble stag]

Last one i left out instantly ran a script that opened outlook and sent a mail to all employees saying they'll treat the entire office to brownies. Hehe.

[humble trench]

when are they going to add proper xhair information if ur weap is in burst fire mode or not ffs lol. we sprint around 99% of the time so it only shows when ur standing still

[torpid heart]

yeh the more i use the ksk the more i just think the only shotguns worth anything are the m1014 and M870

[empty topaz]

Look... i get that everything is destroyed because of war and all of that in BF6 but why is there no writing on any building? kinda feels weird lol

[winter atlas]

You can always make a mockup of what you would like and put it on the forums.

[marble stag]

There's plenty of design choices (or lack thereof) that are a big letdown. As of late i usually just explain it in one sentence: "BF6 is not a product of love, it's a product of greed"

And i think it encapsulates it decently well.

[humble trench]

yeah but itl just get put at thje bottom of the list, just like the hud part where it indicates what your keybind for weapon mode toggle is which is left alt and it sits over the icon

[hollow finch]

Many places i've worked at specifically ban using usb sticks and plugging anything but authorized devices into company PC's, laptops.. anything that might contain company information

[marble stag]

We disable every USB port on computers we ship out (that are in public spaces) to combat this

[empty topaz]

it's just bare-bones assets lmao... not even a restaurant or anything lol

[marble stag]

Some places even have HWID filtering on certain USB devices to make sure only that device works. Any other device simply will not connect.

[humble trench]

killed by a shotgunner looking 90 degrees the wrong way, he had 100 ping tho kekw

[hollow finch]

Cyber attacks happen for a lot of reasons and people don't understand the volume

[marble stag]

I've got a 6.5k EUR firewall at home to play around with for no other reason than i can, and we had one laying around at work that was decomissioned lol

[hollow finch]

Stealing a competitors company secrets is illegal but a very real thing. Same way holding a random for sensitive company data etc

[marble stag]

I'm "borrowing it"

[winter atlas]

They add it where they think it fit. But it does ofc. have a grafical costs as well, so less of it on larger maps.

[marble stag]

I don't think so

[hollow finch]

Could just... Bake in the texture and it would barely make a fken difference

[empty topaz]

Imagine if all these billion‑dollar companies cashed in… you’d get huge budgets but shallow design, systems built for retention instead of depth, and a product shaped by monetization strategy more than vision. BF6 fits that pattern perfectly, polished surface, corporate‑safe decisions, and none of the weird, ambitious soul the older games had.

[fiery oxide]

Why would you bake that into the texture

[marble stag]

If only

[empty topaz]

it's half-baked, that's why

[fiery oxide]

If they only want to use that texture in one place sure

[worldly trail]

is there a way to remedy the whole "fried textures" look that pops up sometimes in the graphics? I heard there's a way

[empty topaz]

it doesn't even say anything lmao, whoever did that tag needs to go to jail

[winter atlas]

Bake it in would make sense if you only use it once. Seems illogical in most cases if you want to reuse it.

[fiery oxide]

[hollow finch]

Fair enough

[marble stag]

Yugh, -6c tomorrow with lots of wind and quite high humidity. Not going to be the greatest bike ride lol.

[hollow finch]

Manhattan bridge does feel very.. lifeless in a way though

[marble stag]

So does the real manhattan

[hollow finch]

Nice, we had -28 today

[marble stag]

I wouldn't bike in that

[empty topaz]

The graffiti tag doesn't say anything... even if you zoom in on it, it's just gibberish... why put a meaningless detail on a wall?

[hollow finch]

Not ideal

But hey, we went skiing

[marble stag]

Not really, i don't think your movement alone is going to keep you much warm at at -28 with windchill

[winter atlas]

Seems realistic to me.

[fiery oxide]

Sounds like your average graffiti to me

[marble stag]

And if you pack some layers you're going to sweat which makes it worse

Random graffiti on the walls is one of the best places to save creatives time and just AI generate it lmao.

[empty topaz]

it would be more realistic if it said real words lmao. my city is full of graffiti and it's always the name of the artist, or it's art. That texture is just asscheeks

[marble stag]

Especially in a shooter game that doesn't have you go look at them

Hot take but i'm serious

[empty topaz]

Some people like to look at details

[worldly trail]

used to love spray painting in San Andreas lol

[torpid heart]

hot take: i like the red triangle shooting from BC2, BF3 and BF4 more then what we have now

[hollow finch]

Errrr idk. You can stay warm enough in temperatures colder than that by doing things like walking with gear, skiing and whatnot

[marble stag]

Cycling though?

[winter atlas]

You must have some skilled vandals in your city then. Here it's mostly just poorly written tags you can barely read. Compared to that, the graffiti in BF6 looks awesome.

[marble stag]

It's just the legs moving

[hollow finch]

If you carry enough stuff with you sure.

[empty topaz]

definitely lol. I live in Canada and it's -40 here regularly in winter, if you run, you won't be as cold. That's why Football players can play when it's cold out

[marble stag]

Cold weather ain't for me hehe

[hollow finch]

It's not for me either if i'm honest

[marble stag]

I'll choose cold over extreme heat though

[empty topaz]

Me either lol. I'm in hibernation

[hollow finch]

I'm just forced to withstand it

[marble stag]

I'd take -10 over +40

Or +30 even tbh, i can't deal with that

[empty topaz]

dude.... in -10 we wear shorts and a tshirt lol

[marble stag]

I wouldn't

[tight prism]

Skill issue

[hollow finch]

If you're a dummy sure

[marble stag]

Maybe if i was used to it, i guess. I wonder what the cold is going to do with our heating costs lol.

[empty topaz]

I love +40 temps only because i got a good Electric Mo-ped lol. it's great for the summer time. kinda wish I didn't have winter

[marble stag]

I might replace our current heating solution but it's not financially worth it

[empty topaz]

no lol, it's normal here in Canada... we just have thicker skin

[upbeat spade]

Canada isn't even a real place

[marble stag]

I might place a heat pump, but i'd have to place a heat pump boiler als well, and get a new cooktop so i can disconnect our house from natural gas. Not worth the money for the savings.

I'm not spending 15k to save 20 a month

[tired flower]

@subtle sluice Can you confirm this?

[hollow finch]

Mmm. People in colder climates don't possess super human traits to defeat the cold. What they do have is the knowledge on how to live in the cold, wear the proper clothing... Yeah they're somewhat used to it as well but like... Bruh

[empty topaz]

"Blame Canada, Blame Canada, they're not even a real country anyway" 🎵

[marble stag]

Break even cost of +30 years. Not a chance. I won't even be living here by then.

[subtle sluice]

what

[empty topaz]

it's a joke, but Canadians are more adapted to cold weather. Someone from Florida can't come to Canada and wear a tshirt in -10 weather because that is cold to them. Cold to us is anything past -25

our Windchills feel like personal attacks lmao

[winter atlas]

As someone who has been to Canada, I can confirm that it doesn't exist. Just seemed like France but friendly to me.

[empty topaz]

Canadians have better circulation response
less shock when stepping outside
improved brown‑fat activation
psychological tolerance

[upbeat spade]

Yea Canada doesn't exist

[hollow finch]

Sure you can wear a t shirt for several minutes outside when it's cold and you need to fken idk... Take the trash out.. but you still won't be like oh yeah let me put a tshirt on and walk downtown shopping when it's -20

[empty topaz]

of course!! you should see our homeless

[hollow finch]

Well i mean.. that is out of necessity

Not because you think it's a good idea

[empty topaz]

Necessity or not, the fact that people can physically tolerate it proves the point. Cold tolerance is trained. If you lived here long enough, you’d be doing the same thing without even thinking about it.

[unique sable]

What does the number mean at my Player Card on my Mastery Icon from Medic? I have a 6 under it

[bronze grail]

Sor-300c is great

it's my favorite gun

[hollow finch]

Well i didn't say you can't tolerate it.. course you can.. but i said it's stupid because who the fuck would willingly put themselves in discomfort for no reason

[torpid heart]

anyone who like spicy food i guess?

[sturdy spindle]

hey why u talking about geography instead of talking about battlefield 6

[misty yew]

I used to do this. Acclimate to extreme temperatures and stuff like that. If you were going to have to suck it up in the environment for a long time, might as well make it as easy and you can

[empty topaz]

Yeah, nobody’s saying it’s comfortable. The point is that people here don’t feel the cold the same way you do, so what looks like ‘discomfort for no reason’ to you barely registers for us. We feel the cold but it doesn't bother us. i even go outside in barefeet to take out the trash, walking through kneedeep snow.

[worldly trail]

same with high heat/humidity I believe

[empty topaz]

yeah... i can't walk on hot sand or hot concrete sidewalks

[worldly trail]

it's really interesting seeing sports teams go on the road in differing weather conditions, can be evidenced there as well.

[misty yew]

I'd walk on ice/snow bare foot before desert sand anyday

[empty topaz]

Even hot beach sand is a big nope for me lol. but at least there's cold water right after lmao

[misty yew]

Oh absolutely. And there's goat heads or burrs everywhere. If the sand don't burn you bad enough those stickers will get stuck in your feet

[empty topaz]

i can imagine sinking through a sandhill in the desert and just feel that sand cook me alive lmfao

[misty yew]

fr. ice and snow melt, sand gets everywhere and takes forever to get rid of

[worldly trail]

thing that's tough is like you can't breathe in high humidity weather if you not used to it, and you sweat so much you'll be depleted of body fluids and dehydrate

[misty yew]

Different problems. If you sweat in -25 because of work and your in the field, you may die

[empty topaz]

so you just lay down and die?

[worldly trail]

basically, you have to stay inside

[misty yew]

lol

[languid mural]

one of south american football teams has like, giga home advantage because their stadium is in the base of the mountains lol

[worldly trail]

some people can handle it, but it will exhaust you so fast

[empty topaz]

someone should turn the desert into thick glass lol, how bad would that harm the ecosystem?

[misty yew]

We'll find out soon enough. Their turning terraforming the Sahara

[empty topaz]

damn lol nvm... that would be bad... it would:

Kill nearly all life in that region
Disrupt weather and climate
Break natural geological cycles
Cause flooding and heat spikes
Create a long‑term ecological dead zone

[upbeat spade]

Omg hey. How big is your forehead

[empty topaz]

mine is 2ft

which i'm pretty proud of

[humble trench]

Beefis, ur new name

[misty yew]

That's worse than I thought 😬

Rip northern Africa

[unique sable]

Will Season 2 have Gasmasks??

[empty topaz]

can't tell ya. Snitches get stitches, or in this case a lawsuit

[unique sable]

Would Like it

Bf1 vibes

[empty topaz]

i answered you without answering you btw

[unique sable]

https://tenor.com/view/good-night-gif-2030152775311029167

[misty yew]

I have a skin with one for my engi

[unique sable]

Bf1 Mechanic will be nice

[empty topaz]

I still need to get BF1 again. i spent my last $3 on BF4 the other day.

[upbeat spade]

Megamind

[unique sable]

I don’t understand it am I dumb?

[narrow hemlock]

Got BF1 for PC and sniping is a struggle to unlock the Lebel sniper with the 1895 Russian sniper.

[languid mural]

my brother in christ the gas mask were in a season trailer that was released a few weeks ago

[empty topaz]

sorry dude... only a Doctor can diagnose you with that...

[fresh cloud]

Yes

[languid horizon]

What’s up with bf6 matchmaking - loves to pair me (a new player at level 37) with people below level 60 playing people above level 200

[narrow hemlock]

Yeah, the matchmaking sucks.

Breaking up the teams? Nah, I'd rather play Fallout 4.

[empty topaz]

I'm steady playing Fallout 1-76

[empty topaz]

i wouldn't call Lvl 37 a new player lol. but mostly it's because most of the playerbase has had the game for ages. You'd be lucky to find any players below lvl 20.. and no one really wants to play with lower levels... i was kinda happy to see that i had a lvl 232 and level 150 on my team... it means they already know what they're doing.

[heady gale]

.

[sturdy spindle]

u can reach level 37 in like 10 matches

[empty topaz]

The exact number of matches isn’t even the point. The playerbase is old. Whether someone hits 37 in 10 matches or 40 matches, they’re still being thrown into lobbies full of 150–250s because that’s who’s left playing. Matchmaking can’t magically create low‑level players when there aren’t any.

[sturdy spindle]

idk man a lot of bf6 players are brand new to bf

[coarse viper]

Anyone for death matches regularly or guntlet add me

Good levels please

[twin horizon]

BF6 BIOUT TO GO CRAZY

[wet hornet]

@twin horizon w

[empty topaz]

That was true at launch, but not now. Anyone who started BF6 fresh has already leveled up through Redsec, so matchmaking just doesn’t have many genuine low‑level players left to work with

[sturdy spindle]

opposite because the old bf fans hate how non bf bf6 is so they quit

[empty topaz]

Those are people who refunded or just quit out of hatred and they don't usually return to the game.

[empty topaz]

Calling BF1/BFV players ‘old BF fans’ is wild. The actual old‑school crowd is BF3/BF4, and they’re not the ones complaining about BF6 being ‘non‑BF’. If anything, BF6 is the closest the series has been to that era in a decade.

[sturdy spindle]

thats not who i called old, the bf3/4 ppl are the complainers

[languid horizon]

I find a ton of players below 20, they play with me lol

I just got off a game with a level 1 and 7

[empty topaz]

BF3/4 players aren’t the ones calling BF6 ‘non‑BF’. That crowd is mostly happy BF6 finally went back to modern, fast‑paced sandbox gameplay. The people complaining are overwhelmingly BF1/BFV fans who preferred the slower, historical style with huge maps.

[sturdy spindle]

theyre all over reddit and discord and crying about how theyre sticking to bf4 until they fix bf6

[languid horizon]

And granted, it took me around 30-40 hours to reach level 37 bc I only play breakthrough but still

[empty topaz]

Reddit and Discord always amplify the loudest 1%. BF4 diehards say they’re ‘sticking to BF4’ every time a new Battlefield drops. Meanwhile the actual BF3/4 crowd is playing BF6 because it’s the closest the series has been to their era in years.

[humble trench]

imagine beig the jeep driver and u jump out and it puts you at the back left side of it in the line of fire

dice why are we doing this absurd leaving vehicles thing, i dont like slot machines

[sturdy spindle]

u couldnt tell that because they arent loud ppl, but its really clear how non bf bf6 is compared to br3/4

[empty topaz]

BF6 is literally built on BF3/4 DNA movement, TTK, recoil patterns, gadgets, map pacing, everything. You can dislike BF6, but calling it ‘non‑BF’ compared to BF3/4 just doesn’t line up with the actual mechanics... If they ‘aren’t loud people,’ then how exactly are you measuring this silent majority? Reddit and Discord are the loud ones. You can’t claim a huge group is upset when the only evidence is a handful of vocal BF4 purists

[sturdy spindle]

i dont have to measure the silent majority, not that there is much in battlefield

[formal fog]

This trash ass game died by stupid unlock🥺

It's just not fitting to current gamers anymore🥺

[sturdy spindle]

bf6 is so non bf, cod players are the best at it

[lofty raven]

this game is far from dead, literally highest player retnetion of any BF in history lol

[tight prism]

Stock defense. No longer relevant

90% player drop isn’t best retention ever lol

[sturdy spindle]

i only love bf6 cause its very close to cod

[empty topaz]

Is this sarcasm? i've been seeing COD players get absolutely wrecked in BF

like 0.5 K/D

[sturdy spindle]

nah its real #screenshots-and-clips message

[tight prism]

The only true battlefield players with good kds abuse vehicles to do it

The good infantry are cod players

[lofty raven]

they're both fps arcade games and COD has always had more competitive scene, it makes sense that the average COD player is going to be better at an arcade FPS than the average BF player considering BF isn't a competitve game

[empty topaz]

it's pretty competitve... there's even tournaments now

[heady gale]

I wouldn’t go that far

[lofty raven]

i mean there were tournaments in BF4 too, but the vast majority of players never play in them and BF has never had a ranked mode while COD has and the competitve scene of COD has always been significantly more mainstream

[tight prism]

Don’t call battlefield non competitive. That will start a riot because some people think PvP by definition makes it competitive lol

[formal fog]

tbh I really amazed how this game fucked up by stupid unlock and weird decisions they made

[heady gale]

What other weird decisions

[empty topaz]

Every map in COD is tiny asf.... A “small” BF6 map is still several times larger than CoD’s largest.

[velvet kayak]

No persistent servers with browser

[lofty raven]

with the exception of the ground war maps on MW19, but i prefer the smaller bf maps

[heady gale]

Fair actually

[sturdy spindle]

thats not true

[empty topaz]

okay than prove me wrong

[sturdy spindle]

red card vs blackwell dom

[heady gale]

Abysmal map versus fun map

[lofty raven]

i cant stand blackwell lmao

[empty topaz]

Blackwell is bigger

[heady gale]

Blackwell is so fun

[sturdy spindle]

not possible, blackwell dom got like no space

[lofty raven]

i played it maybe like 3 times after release and i havent played it since lol. Not my thing

[formal fog]

ditching portals, unlock being main contents of the game rather than actual gunplay, Gun balance, not fixing main game but investing redsec etcetc

[lofty raven]

Redsec is worked on by a completely different studio

[tight prism]

REDSEC is a different dev team. Had nothing to do with the speed of fixes in main game

[formal fog]

Oh okay I didn't knew about that, thanks

[empty topaz]

waiitt... you're talking about Domination? why didn't you choose a mode that opens the whole map up? lmaooo

[formal fog]

okok thanks for enlighten me

[sturdy spindle]

cause then thats a crazy comparison and not even the same mode

[narrow hemlock]

It's true though.

[sturdy spindle]

i hope it would be

[limber juniper]

Quads??

[lofty raven]

I think when they said "small bf6 map" they were still talking about the full sized conquest maps, not the the parts they use for the smaller game modes

[empty topaz]

well yeah i mean.... but you don't HAVE to play on that tiny version of the map, nor do you HAVE to play domination, there's so many other modes exactly like it

[sturdy spindle]

what does having to play the mode have to do with using the same mode/small scale

[formal fog]

tbh I can't understand "large flat map" like firestorm? idk I forgot the name but those maps were not funny at all for me

[empty topaz]

because if you use the actual size of the map, it comes no where close to being like COD....

[formal fog]

I'd rather play small maps all the time

[heady gale]

Portals is a weird one, people were abusing them for levels

Unlocks is just an actual line of progression in the game, gaming has changed and for a lot of people gameplay alone isn’t enough

Guns are pretty well balanced so idk which you’re talking about

And yeah different studio for redsec

[sturdy spindle]

crazy comparison

[lofty raven]

Me either, i like the smaller mapsa like cairo, ibierian offensive (i butchered that lmao), and empire state

[formal fog]

People were "abusing" portal because this game "abusing" us by doing stupid unlocks so I'm not agreeing with your opinion

[empty topaz]

so is saying "one mode i play in BF6 makes all of BF6 feel like COD"

[lofty raven]

but tbh DICE could release one singular good map and the rest could be awful and i would still be happy. I spent my entire time playing BF4 on locker so im cool with just playing a single map lol

[heady gale]

I mean the unlocks aren’t that hard, especially since they made the first twenty levels of guns go quicker

[formal fog]

I really hate this shit ass assult 2nd spec unlock that didn't made after 12 hours of intense gameplay and I ditched this game because I don't wanna triggered by that stupid unlock anymore

[empty topaz]

i just go on portal to play Avalanche lol

[heady gale]

What do you need to do for it, did it on release and forgot

[formal fog]

Well it's kinda skill issue, but also it's my judge for not keep playing this game anymore. I remember that you need to kill someone shocked a lot of times.

[lofty raven]

completely aside from the topic but were you the one who dropped their stat tracker with like a 46% obj time"

[heady gale]

Mines like 35%, enough to be in top 5%

[lofty raven]

it musta been someone else then, still a lot, but i checked mine expecting it to be around that but my obj time is only like 14% lmfao

[formal fog]

So every time I open this game, This stupid ass shit shows up my screen and Oh yeah there was it and I turn this game off again, maybe gonna deleting this game if I remember if this installrd

[empty topaz]

Ngl though, i am not excited for Golmud.... if it's anything like BF4, i'm gonna hate it

[lofty raven]

i thought i played the obj a lot, but tbf sometimes im sitting just outside it or running around it

[sturdy spindle]

u out here comparing modes meant for airplanes to cod maps that are 6v6

[empty topaz]

Because you made the comparison of games, there's like 1 mode where it makes the maps small lol

[heady gale]

Yeah still trying to get all my stats up, almost got my 7 player KD back

[sturdy spindle]

when

theres been several modes that make the map small in bf, strikepoint, tdm, sdm, koth, dom, sabotage

[upper vigil]

wsp guys who thinks the psr sucks?

[lofty raven]

jesus, im usually around like a 3-4 most games now but that's crazy if you can consistently get 7

[empty topaz]

Right here you said "not true" i was talking about the actual map size, not a shrunken down map from 1 mode lol.

[sturdy spindle]

thats what makes it a crazy comparison that was all u

[empty topaz]

I never knew people play on those modes lol. So why would people be mad about the map sizes if they don't want to try playing on a bigger version of said map?

[heady gale]

Yeah I had the 7 player KD, dropped to a 6.89 from using a pistol only and DB12 for a bit, back up to a 6.97

[lofty raven]

strike point was aight

[heady gale]

Need to get my KPM and SPM up, they’re slowly getting there but doing all the challenges on release has made it harder

[tight prism]

Every fps you have to level your weapons for unlocks. It’s industry standard

[sturdy spindle]

like i said before, ur og bf fans quit and ur game is run by cod players now, plus ur big map modes are still very small

[lofty raven]

you play with a squad or are you just that good that you never really get downed?

[lofty raven]

no its not lmao

[sturdy spindle]

ah hell nawl

[heady gale]

Only just started playing with people recently, and most of them are sniper players lmao

[empty topaz]

They're small maps when comparing it to BF1/BFV they are NOT small when comparing it to BF3/BF4

[lofty raven]

damn so no dedicated medics padding those stats either thats kinda crazy

[sturdy spindle]

breakthrough already has 50 medics on ur team

[heady gale]

I wish

I’ve been averaging four medics on my team if I’m lucky

[narrow hemlock]

`They don't revive.

[formal fog]

Yah but not like this game either. I played really long time of the finals, which former dice dev made, which required 100 full in-game hours to unlock every stuff in this game(Just in case it's not anymore). I'm not sure how much time do I need for unlocking these shit in bf6. tbh even pve games like Helldivers 2 or even destiny 2 doesn't require this much grind, and also not demanding specific condition that bf6 requires users to unlock stuff

[heady gale]

100 hours is good for a game that’s free, not one that costs £70

[abstract nexus]

Hd2 absolutely requires a lot of grinding what

[formal fog]

I'm talking about gun parts

[tight prism]

You aren’t expected to unlock everything in 100 hrs. This game is on a two year or more life cycle. It’s meant to take hundreds of hours to unlock and level every single gun. Pick a few weapons and stick to them. Not expected to level 40 guns to 50. And if you want to then yes it will take hundreds of hours

[empty topaz]

usually i level up in BF6 by having fun too lol. if all you do is pay attention to challenges, it won't ever be fun.

[abstract nexus]

Still counts as grinding if its fun and to respond to the point before this one, yeah nbm I forgot D10 blitz spam method existed

Through normal gameplay it takes forever but hd2 has exp grind servers called d10 illuminate blitz missions

[formal fog]

@heady gale I think you guys are missing my point. Core gameplay should come first rather than unlock. If game is fun, then people will keep playing. Making people play more by unlock is just not working anymore

[abstract nexus]

Idk how I forgot cause I used that to finish the last 5 levels of constitution

Lmao

[narrow hemlock]

If the leveling is not fun, people won't have fun.

[empty topaz]

I have lots of games and play BF when bored. You can enjoy life ya know?

[tight prism]

You want gun attachments without earning them. Doesn’t work that way

[abstract nexus]

I dont think thats what they mean at all

[narrow hemlock]

We want an easier and fun way to unlock the attatchemnts, not a handout.

[heady gale]

Sadly games don’t hold people’s attention span for two years without a sense of progression anymore, they might’ve before but people need stuff to unlock and do

[empty topaz]

whu?

[formal fog]

I think the finals and bf6 has one of that "funny core game" because every match feels different, but instead making people enjoy their gun more, both of them choosed to limit people unable to use the gun. And for the finals, this was fucking huge limit for entire 2 years of lifespan. Literally kicked every new player out.

[tight prism]

He’s a troll. Literally never posts anything of use to this chat

[abstract nexus]

Theyre saying that the main pull for continuing to play should be the gameplay loop and a sense of progression should not be the focus or otherwise the main reason to continue playing

Which i dont fully agree with i think a game can accomplish both since different consumers have different goals

[tight prism]

And your history shows what?

[empty topaz]

It doesn't matter what game it is, i'm passionate about it.... only people who owned an Atari 2600 knows what i'm talking about.

[formal fog]

It's kinda true but also theres tons of game that doesn't have this much grind but keep having attention. I recently enjoying deadlock from last years huge update, and I have nothing to progress but I play almost every day from the moment I hooked. It's sad that many people has attention span problem, but also many of people left this game because of unlock system. I think I could find tons of negative reviews in the steam mentioning this only. Maybe, MAYBE mass audience doesn;t like to be held by unlock anymore.

[gloomy oracle]

[heady gale]

It’s weighing of players tbh, what kind of games hold you like that ? Other than deadlock

[empty topaz]

Enduro is my ultimate favorite, that and Dig Dug.... Still trying to beat E.T

[narrow hemlock]

The absolute worst game in existance? Are you kidding?!

[empty topaz]

If i can say i beat it, i get to give myself credit lol

[tight prism]

This is battlefield. Continued comparing to other games is irrelevant. Live service model and unlock systems for continuous rewards for gameplay through camos, cosmetics, attachments etc is normal and a working system which is why almost every game uses it now.

[formal fog]

I'll gonna mentioning online games only because that would be fair, The finals(because I unlocked everything from S1 and it was easy for old players), Apex, destiny, guilty gear strive, tekken 7/8...

[tired flower]

Destiny is like Grind the Game

[empty topaz]

BTW The Lion King for SNES would like to have a word with you

[heady gale]

Can’t speak for the last two, but the first two have ranked modes, an inherit sense of progression, and Destiny also has a massive sense of progression to it

[formal fog]

I mean I was okay if I just use my gun and it will keep unlock stuffs but for fucks sake this game want me to unlock stuffs by doing 720" backflip headshot nade kill streak or something

[tight prism]

For cosmetics

[narrow hemlock]

Eh, at least that game didn't have a dedicated landfill and cause the Video Game Crash in the 1980's.

[formal fog]

Ranked is ranked, It's kinda different progression that we are talking about

[narrow hemlock]

Even after the release of Edge of Fate. Stopped playing and uninstalled soon afterwards.

[abstract nexus]

Arc raiders is kinda different cause there's 3 aspects to its replayability (that battlefield could absolutely incorporate to a degree) being community, great gameplay, and grind cause its an extraction shooter

[heady gale]

Yeah of course, but progression keeps people hooked, and since you can’t really implement ranked too well into battlefield you gotta do something else

[empty topaz]

True lol. it was too ambitious... they should do a remaster.

[abstract nexus]

The issue is battlefield fumbles in 2 aspects and for a lot of people a third

[formal fog]

That's true, but it doesn't need specific loadout or specific condition to progress rank, you only need to be good.

[heady gale]

Tbf attachments aren’t that major in this game, the ones you need to grind for aren’t that different to lower level unlocks

Only one that’s really like that is lightened suppressor, which needs tweaked imo anyway

[formal fog]

But but my second assult spec unlock hunts me in my nightmare

[heady gale]

Breakthrough Sobek, shotgun, spam stuns in the hallways of second sector lmao

[formal fog]

You think I didn't tried it.....

[heady gale]

Try try again

[tired flower]

yes because it's not that grindy

[formal fog]

Try try again after 12 hours of failed grind? nah

[heady gale]

How many do you even need to get now, I know they made most the challenges easier

~~ after I did them~~

[empty topaz]

why is there a clip of a flare in the BF6 start menu, along with an evening sky? is that part of the campaign? or could we have Night Ops coming????

[formal fog]

idk I ditched out this game because that unlock🥺

[tired flower]

I did all the support ones before they made them baby easy

[upper vigil]

who has 10000 coins

[formal fog]

Anyway thanks for peaceful convo Imma go work

[heady gale]

75 in one match 🙏🙏

[tight plaza]

It’s getting to the point where I see the same people on conquest every day is the player base really that low

[empty topaz]

anyone know?

[heady gale]

I can’t wait to be done with getting all the guns to 50

[tired flower]

The game might be offline by the time I get all the pistols maxed

[heady gale]

Yeah real

[tight plaza]

I just finished my first pistol today 💀

[heady gale]

I’m so sorry

[tired flower]

I've been using the same one since launch and it's only like level 45 or so 💀

[heady gale]

I might do SMGs next tbh

[empty topaz]

false advertising for Blackwell Fields.. EA.... i don't like that

[tight prism]

Anyone thinking one new map and another bad battle pass is going to magically spike the player count should probably lower their expectations

It does. Still not enough content for a three month season imo

[heady gale]

Real

[tight plaza]

Sniper hill lol

[heady gale]

People complaining about maps but at least we aren’t paying for them 🙏🙏🙏

[empty topaz]

Why don't we get a flashlight for Blackwell? It's the goddamn evening time and inside every house is dark asf

[narrow hemlock]

Mnt. Sniper.

[heady gale]

Dayz…

[tight prism]

Hmmm bf one map a season. Cod nine maps a season.

[tired flower]

I mean... you can always put one on your gun

[heady gale]

@tired flower I’m so not excited to use the vector lol

[tired flower]

Eastwood also exists

[tight prism]

That’s the one map for season one

[heady gale]

Look at the map size difference 😭 plus destruction

[tight prism]

That’s not an excuse for the devs to put out so little

[tight plaza]

As long as we all have fun right

[tired flower]

Blackwell and Eastwood?

[heady gale]

It kinda is, you either get rushed maps that are glitchy and don’t play well, or actual well made maps

[empty topaz]

oh shit, i never checked if i could do that lol. but i'm okay, too many attachments already and i don't want to risk one of my godly attachments for a light

[tight prism]

So what’s the excuse for the 8 maps we got and their quality over years of development lol

[tired flower]

Liberation Peak is Peak 🗻

[heady gale]

These maps really aren’t that bad 😭

[tight plaza]

We got one maybe two good maps

[tight prism]

They can fix the low content problem easily by bringing in the favorite maps from previous games

[narrow hemlock]

That will take time and money.

[heady gale]

I agree old maps would be fun, but only releasing old maps would cause the issue of no originality

[tight prism]

And how many people have removed four of them from their rotation

[heady gale]

Which maps

[tight prism]

Not really. Maps already made. Copy and paste mostly.

Don’t need stats. The constant complaining of most of the maps being garbage in this chat says enough

[narrow hemlock]

They cannot pop out maps and expect them to work.

Copy and pasting maps WILL cause more bugs and glitches that we will rightly complain about.

[tight prism]

You are on the same chat as the rest of us. So you are blind or gaslighting

This chat is the source

[heady gale]

Two original maps and one rework of an old map a season would be really good honestly

[heady gale]

Bro what, discord and Reddit users are notorious for complaining about non issues

[humble trench]

i just wish new sobek was better balanced so i could filter it back in

[tight prism]

So because you like a map the rest of the people are wrong?

[heady gale]

No ? It’s the same as because some people don’t like a map, doesn’t mean everyone does t like it

What map are you even talking about lol

[tight prism]

Can’t prove how many like it any more than I can prove how many don’t.

You can pull chat history yourself. Not biting your raigebait of source

[heady gale]

What maps

Give me siege of Shanghai on breakthrough and I’ll be beyond happy

[narrow hemlock]

Agreed.

Or give me Siene Crossing!

[empty topaz]

i got killed 140m away by a tank blast.... what a load of shit

[heady gale]

There’s a lot of 3/4 maps I want to see on breakthrough

[tight prism]

Sobek, manhattan, Empire State, Blackwell

[narrow hemlock]

I like those maps.

[tight prism]

Nobody attacking you. And you just trolling so reported

[heady gale]

Those are all fun maps 😭 the only one I see people complain about is Sobek, and they’ve done better with balancing it, at least on breakthrough

[narrow hemlock]

Sobek City could be just a little bit bigger.

[tight prism]

Just talking same as you.

Calling it rage bait isn’t aggressive. It’s just factual statement

[heady gale]

That’s fairs

[tight prism]

Am calm

[heady gale]

I want more five sector breakthrough maps, three isn’t as fun tbh

[narrow hemlock]

And saying that you know people who have jobs and families with levels in the 500's? Nah, I don't believe you.

[tight prism]

@tribal zodiac

[heady gale]

BF1 had operations and they were amazing, never played breakthrough on it because operations existed

[heady gale]

I know a 500 and like a 450 who both work and have partners lol, just not kids

[tribal zodiac]

Job yes, family no

[tight prism]

You have a girlfriend? Family

[tribal zodiac]

I suppose you could say that yeah

[narrow hemlock]

Fair, I am maybe 130 and single.

[tight prism]

Nope

[heady gale]

I’m like 225 and go out with my gf a lot

And work full time ^

[narrow hemlock]

My level would be higher, but I did play Destiny 2 a lot and the grind for that game pretty much just wore me out.

[heady gale]

Used to play Destiny and just gave up on it

Literally, it also helped it was based on real battles, would be harder to implement on BF6 but not impossible

Also just the whole, battlefield games have always struggled in their first year of release, not a surprise it’s following the same trend

[strange pivot]

Such a fun game but the grind is so rough

[narrow hemlock]

Same here.

[strange pivot]

People complaining about the BF6 grind need to go play Destiny or War Thunder

Or Battlefield 3 for that matter😂

[tribal zodiac]

I really dont think bf6 progression is that rough

[narrow hemlock]

Destiny 2 gave me enough Grind-PTSD that I don't even wanna play anything else that has a grind mechanic.

[heady gale]

It isn’t, and it’s massively optional

[empty topaz]

i just play BF6 when i don't wanna play Arma 3 lol they balance each other out pretty good

[strange pivot]

4k hours, still play unfortunately

[heady gale]

😭😭😭

[narrow hemlock]

I played BF3.

I didn't mind it then because I actually enjoyed it.

[strange pivot]

Yeah I didn't mind that much either

[heady gale]

In the grand scheme of games, this really is not a grindy game, and the good attachments aren’t hard to unlock (minus lightened suppressor)

[tribal zodiac]

Its taking me like 1 gun per day to get to level 50

[round ore]

Honestly BF4 was peak

[empty topaz]

ya'll should try King of The Hill in Arma 3.... it is not fun getting sniped from 900 meters lmao

[narrow hemlock]

Alongside BF1.

[tribal zodiac]

Id be done with all the guns by now if i didnt have 1000+ levels on snipers lol

[round ore]

Yes everyone loved operation locker

[strange pivot]

I've been playing since 2013 so it's not like I play it very often, just been playing a long time. Never bought premium either😂

[abstract nexus]

Hella cap so many mags and headshot multiplier ammos are locked behind 30+ 😭

[heady gale]

Mags and headshot ammo’s aren’t that major wdym

[strange pivot]

BF1 and BF4 are my favorites. BF5 honestly wasn't that bad towards the end; has my favorite gunplay of all the games

[narrow hemlock]

Everyone loves a good meatgrinder map.

[tired flower]

I didn't have the hardware to play BF1 at the time, but damn operations sounded cool.

[heady gale]

I can think of only a few guns that need a larger mag, and headshot multipliers aren’t that useful in this game

[abstract nexus]

Synthetics are very important for most of the guns that have them available. I mean would YOU run rpk without synthetic? Or 60 round mag

[strange pivot]

Operations were awesome, pretty much the same thing as breakthrough

[heady gale]

Yes and yes

[round ore]

RPG's, drones, incendiary grenades, smokes Lmg spamming

[empty topaz]

lol Me when i play COD... i only played on Shipment when i played COD 😅

[abstract nexus]

Ik I cant stand ak 205 without synthetics

[tired flower]

🤤

[abstract nexus]

Nvm i guess im just dogshit then

[narrow hemlock]

Please tell me you played on Operation metro!

[round ore]

Who hasn't?

[heady gale]

😭😭😭

Forgot my exact RPK build but I think it’s a 30 fast

[empty topaz]

Of course i did, that took place at night, right?

[strange pivot]

Dual reclaimers have scarred me

[narrow hemlock]

BF3 USAS-12 FLASHBACKS

[strange pivot]

That scarred me even more holy

[tired flower]

RPK = 💩

[heady gale]

Not wrong

[abstract nexus]

I have one with a 30 too but it still has synthetics and ads speed barrel and ads speed grip

[strange pivot]

7 year old me got COOKED by those

[heady gale]

Mines like, lightened suppressor, extended barrel, ribbed stubby, 30 fast, 2.5x scope

[abstract nexus]

Just waiting on an rpk skin that has wood furnishing to finish the level 50 grind. Technically viper commando or whatever has one but idk if I wanna buy that

[modest jackal]

Yeah, weakest LMG by quite a mile.

[strange pivot]

I've really been enjoying the P90 recently, rarely see people use it

[narrow hemlock]

And the frag rounds with the flashlight? We were touched in places we didn't know we had!!

[strange pivot]

Yeah fr

[tribal zodiac]

Im going to lose my mind when i get the kv9 and scw10

[abstract nexus]

Ill prolly just wait and see what season 2 brings and if I dont see a wooden furnishing skin ill bite the bullet and buy the snake bundle

[modest jackal]

Well, that's because the P90 is outclassed.

[elfin wraith]

LMG with a 30rnd mag what is this ww2

[heady gale]

SCW was fun, I’m dreading the KV9

[strange pivot]

I agree but top loading mag 🤤

[tribal zodiac]

The mp7 was already painful enough

[abstract nexus]

Rpk is a wanna be
Carbine so 30 rounds is whatever

Shit at range compared to every other lmg except maybe 240L due to its spread

[heady gale]

At least SCW shoots slower and has better recoil, KV9 is just a downgrade imo

[craggy stump]

I think im just sick because theres literally zero reason why I play this game still

[abstract nexus]

Yeah scw10s low mag size is kinda manageable

[modest jackal]

I think he was referring to the M27 IAR aka the DRS.

[abstract nexus]

Oh

[elfin wraith]

Nah was ref the person who used 30 fast on rpk

[heady gale]

KV9 should defo get its recoil tweaked to compete

[abstract nexus]

Oh again

[tribal zodiac]

They wanna nerf my ability to multikill

[narrow hemlock]

Honestly? I liked the iron sights on the BF3 version.

[heady gale]

Yes

[elfin wraith]

Why are the mp5 irons so goated

[abstract nexus]

Non existent recoil and slightly cheaper mags in exchange for worse drop off and it'd be a good competitor

[heady gale]

Because it’s an mp5

[abstract nexus]

Idr mp5 irons is that the rear ring sight

[modest jackal]

I mean, the KV-9 can feel polarising at times.

[heady gale]

Yeah rn there just isn’t a reason to use KV9 over SCW lol

[empty topaz]

Brother... idk why i got Operation Metro and the Miami map from COD Cold War mixed up lmfaoooo

[narrow hemlock]

It's easy to get maps confused.

[empty topaz]

ngl though COD was kinda cooking with that Miami map.... i legit miss it

[narrow hemlock]

I was thinking of the Zavod 311 night map.

[heady gale]

Which is a shame, vector has always been fun to use but just gets massively outshined this go round

[elfin wraith]

Has a ring up front

And like a lil groove at the back

[abstract nexus]

I use it cause of brand loyalty I ain't never heard of APC10 but me and my dogs ears perk up at the name Krisstopher Vector the Third

[heady gale]

Give me famas…

[abstract nexus]

Same dif I got the locations mixed. Anyway I fw those irons and mp7 ring irons

[abstract nexus]

YES PLEASE just not the valorise that one's mid

[heady gale]

Aug would also go hard

[elfin wraith]

Man the apc10 looks like a peashooter

[strange pivot]

I'd want it to be good. Feels like all the games I play with the AUG make it so bad

[tribal zodiac]

How about we make the 45 point grip worth 45 points

[empty topaz]

Both are great but i'll probably switch to the SCW... my KV9 isn't performing as good anymore, i think that's because of my 18 round chamber.

[heady gale]

Fair point

[elfin wraith]

Just play arma, every rifle feels samey cuz you can't beam people and they die to a few shots not in the armor

[strange pivot]

Always wanted to try Arma

[elfin wraith]

Arma 3 milsim is an amazing experience ngl

My favorite day of the week

[empty topaz]

The KV9 18 round chamber is only good if there are 3 enemies lined up in a row, you can mow down all 3 of them.. but as soon as the enemies are spaced out, i can only get 1 kill in before being hunted by the whole team lmao

[strange pivot]

The only Milsim game I have played is Hell Let Loose and that's more of a simcade

[modest jackal]

Ironically, the KV-9 can actually kill faster than most Fully Automatic Weapons, even at extreme Ranges.
Like, its Minimum TTK is 389ms, which is well above average.

So, the SCW-10 doesn't quite make the KV-9 redundant.

[heady gale]

It is, but it’s not being used for that because of its recoil compared to other guns

If we’re strictly talking TTK then TR7 would be goated, but it’s just good nothing special

[tribal zodiac]

Make grips worth it in general tbh, i quit running them for a reason

[empty topaz]

Nah, the KV‑9 isn’t some long‑range laser. The furthest I’ve actually secured a kill with it was mid‑range at best — past that, the recoil and drop‑off make it wildly inconsistent and by that point the TTK is not helping worth shit lol

[tribal zodiac]

If whoever is shooting me is more than 100m away i just ignore them

[empty topaz]

hell yeah, tape my hand to that grip

damn... i really like reading this "Throughout December, EA Javelin Anti-Cheat prevented 580,389 attempts to cheat or tamper with the game before they could impact matches. We also tracked 224 cheat-related programs, hardware solutions, vendors, resellers, and their associated communities. Of those, 206 of them (91.2%) publicly reported feature failures, detection notices, downtime, or fully took their cheats offline.
"

[tribal zodiac]

At most i run a handstop or the more expensive angled

[balmy sinew]

They should add that in the next BP 😲

[tribal zodiac]

Nerfing accuracy for less recoil in any way is just a net negative

[upbeat spade]

Doesn't matter if these bans are majority from redsec

You just need a brand new EA account and serial changer and a cheater will be back up playing redsec again

[empty topaz]

No one said it was from Redsec.... and this is from the BF6 patch notes, not Redsec patch notes.

[strange pivot]

I just use what's cool/fun, meta is lame

[upbeat spade]

It only makes sense that majority is from redsec.
No sms verification. Hackers will run rampant most in redsec despite this ban numbers

[abstract nexus]

Bro i hate that so many grips are "balanced" by crazy point costs AND adding to your ads bloom like choose one not both why do I spend a fortune on being less accurate😭

[tribal zodiac]

Hence why i quit running grips entirely

[upbeat spade]

Remember when you had to pull down to aim

[round ore]

LOL PEOPLE STILL PLAY 2042??

[empty topaz]

More people playing 2042 than Rising Storm 2: Vietnam

[round ore]

True

[empty topaz]

BFV barely has more players than 2042 lol. like 20 more players

[narrow hemlock]

Never played BFV

[empty topaz]

BF in general is dead. back in July 2025 there was 74,240 players for 2042... right now in BF6 there is 38,450 players

How low do you think it will get next year?

[tired flower]

Not sure 38k is "dead" my guy

[empty topaz]

it's more dead than 2042 was 7 months into 2025... i think it's getting there, "my guy"

in 2025? july???

[worldly trail]

I did hear that BF6 dropped out of top 10 on console most played as well, so the narrative that it was just steam isn't holding true apparently

[empty topaz]

that launched in August and then by September the player count was low again

[woeful oyster]

anyone know when the update is dropping today?

[worldly trail]

Is there any new feature BF6 brought? Trying to turn this positive lol

Body drag I guess

[empty topaz]

No more excessive jump sliding lol

[worldly trail]

Hey that's a good one

[narrow hemlock]

With this new update?

[empty topaz]

Affirmative: "Fixed an issue where sprint-jump momentum could behave inconsistently and grant higher or lower momentum than intended."

found this one funny lol: "Updated the Objective Ace and Winter Warning cosmetics to better align with Battlefield’s visual identity."

[tribal zodiac]

More to do with these peoples non-existent attention spans nowadays

They could have released this game with half the bugs it has and twice as much content and it would still be in the same spot

[empty topaz]

All they had to do was keep Portal the way it was..... i know over 300 people who uninstalled because they ruined Portal

[tribal zodiac]

That wouldnt do much either

[empty topaz]

it literally was keeping a lot of players in the game.....

[tribal zodiac]

People whining about the state of challenges in this game upon release was a massive red flag

[empty topaz]

it was BFs version of CS: Source.... anyone would love that]

[tribal zodiac]

3 year game cycle and people are mad that challenges take more than 10 matches to complete

[empty topaz]

I don't even pay attention to challenges lol. only if i need to unlock something that i find cool... people who play BF to be completionists are weird lol.

[pliant valve]

High levels that sit in the Attack Helicopter and spawn camp other aircraft spawns are the worst type of people and then talk trash in chat deserve to be ban

[narrow hemlock]

Oh, you mean Nul and his friend?

Thankfully haven't had the displeasure of being spawn-camped by him.

[pliant valve]

Idk who that is. Helicopter and jet spawns were being camped by a dude that was level 584

Even spawn camping the transport helicopter

[dreamy sail]

Challenge's should be hard, and long.
But not impossible the way it was, some of those were crazy.

When they talked about Portal, and editor.
I though they would make it completely free range style, be able to create maps, etc.
Well that never happened, that was one of the main reasons why i was excited for battlefield
Just the idea, of people be able to create old maps, that they then could release.

The maps are straight up horrible.
They should add maps from Battlefields that were good maps
Not always have to 'create' completely new maps, when you had good maps in the past that people loved
Also don't have to rush rush, they should work on this Battlefield for a long time, and give the community freedom to help.

Helicopters just camp, or fight eachother and arn't even able to help the team out, which sometimes creates really shitty situations
Where the enemy team has tanks all over your homebase / last flag and just destroy everyone, balancing is a thing aswell.

[pliant valve]

This guy had enough. BF6 took his sanity. Some of the maps are too small for aircraft to the point where I get locked on while the jet or helicopter engine hasn’t even started up yet

[empty topaz]

This happened earlier when i was playing BF4. I asked "Why are you guys staying in helis and tanks the whole time?" they replied "We're not supposed to use the vehicles that the devs provided in the game for us?" and i replied "NOT THE WHOLE GODDAMN MATCH"

[pliant valve]

It be those same people that sit in a tank in spawn the whole game and don’t push objectives

[dreamy sail]

I agree, the maps are to small.
And i think everyone has said that already.
In BF2, i remeber when we had heli's
They would sometimes not even find each other for a while, so there was way more freedom, instead of Heli's and planes not able to move, and just seeing each other within 2 seconds.

[vital roost]

is it possible to queue matchmaking in another region

[empty topaz]

no shit, and i hate using tank RPGs, they barely do any damage

[vital roost]

or like i can play only on servers within my region

[empty topaz]

you can only switch if you have a VPN but you can also be banned for using a VPN lol

[pliant valve]

I don’t think there is a setting for that unless the party leader is in a different region as you

[vital roost]

i tried vpn but it doesnt send me to another region

[hollow finch]

The engineer perk which repairs vehicles by just sitting inside one is such bs lol

Is it not enough that you can instantly hop in and out of vehicles. You're practically risk free to repair it anyway

[empty topaz]

they really need to nerf tanks... i understand it's a freaking tank but infantry stand no chance unless there's like 4 teammates taking it down

[vital roost]

nerf tank?

they need to up tanks, they're too weak

[tight plaza]

Those two are punks I was in a lobby when some dude shot them down and they both quit

[hollow finch]

Idk it needs... Adjustments to the healing

[empty topaz]

I don't mind the healing rn

[hollow finch]

I have to say i never was a fan of getting in and out of vehicles instantly... Nor instant revive to 100hp

[narrow hemlock]

Yeah, they do that, from what I heard.

And it isn't a bad strat, either, just a bad way of going about it.

[hollow finch]

It feels lazy... And it feels cheap because timing doesn't matter

[pliant valve]

Really wish they would a courage people to make maps in portal and like have a fun thing where a portal map can rotate in the main map pool

[empty topaz]

Get to the top in Avalanche lol

[pliant valve]

Not like those maps lol. Like maps that will work with conquest, breakthrough, and escalation

[empty topaz]

i know lol. i just have so much fun on Avalanche.... i really want to see how it is when 4 people are playing it

[pliant valve]

Imagine a full 64 player lobby

[empty topaz]

that would be chaos lmfao

[narrow hemlock]

What battlefield was that in? BF4?

[empty topaz]

originally it was a Counter Strike mode, but then people made it in Portal lol https://youtube.com/shorts/t7oHAP2sZ-c?si=nRZVZayC53H7Z2nc

[narrow hemlock]

Ah

[empty topaz]

it's the best mode i've ever played just for fun.. helps learn evasion

[tiny hatch]

@lyric ingot is this better little bro?

Why is this not enforced in #lfg-pc?
"For REDSEC, head over to #lfg-battle-royale and #lfg-gauntlet."

It was alright... i don't like the Prince of Persia collab they did... i wish they did an Aladdin collab instead... but ik it's Ubisoft lol. Could have been a lil bit shorter though lol

yeah except mine isn't dead.

plus, i got a 4 year warranty

[spring burrow]

Ah, ban finally lifted

[tall zinc]

the error is deceiving, you don't actually require a full wipe, with windows 11 one of the exceptional things it brought was the ability to reinstall the OS without losing your data, underneath system -> recovery -> reset this pc, choose keep my files, this will reinstall it from scratch whilst retaining everything on the system

[spring burrow]

Gotta love the moderator bot ban message being entirely in a language you dont read or speak 🤣

[empty topaz]

dude, no, FUCK Microsoft, this is on their end, i just did a scan, found no integrity issues, and i ran a DISM and it said " The restore operation completed successfully.
The operation completed successfully." it's not on me this time

[tall zinc]

system file corruption is actually caused by XMP more often than not, windows updates pretty much not going to happen, albeit they are to be expected, it's good that it caught it rather than not

[verbal pier]

Let me in

[tall zinc]

there are cases where sometimes hash files etc becomes mismatched due to kb updates but they're rare

[empty topaz]

yeah but Windows shouldn't be telling people to wipe everything clean... that's so bad lol. it didn't even tell me that everything was gonna be erased if i decided to hit the button.

[tall zinc]

it's not bad, it's exactly what it should be doing, and again, no it wouldn't be, all your data retains exactly as it was, the only thing that is replaced with the reset option is to reinstall the core windows OS, that's it, it's there for exactly that reason

[empty topaz]

omg i just looked up the update itself and it says: "KB5074109 is a known bad Windows 11 update that has been causing boot failures, black screens, repeated reinstall attempts, and instability across many systems. Microsoft has publicly acknowledged the problems and is actively investigating."

[tall zinc]

that is a different situation to this, bad microsoft QA

albeit it's already been patched anyways

saying that they shouldnt tell the user to reset when most user configurations are running overclocked out of spec and inherently unstable configurations is the opposite of what a software vendor should be doing

in this regard they are exactly correct to be doing, even if it's Microsoft with rather awful quality control

[empty topaz]

yeah... If NVIDIA or AMD made their own OS, i'd install it....

[tall zinc]

no, you wouldn't, cause half your software would cease to function immediately

[empty topaz]

😂

[tall zinc]

and saying it's somehow better there is a misunderstanding of design, the exact same things would happen

[trail nova]

So i just watch this YT of a girl showing us around Russia what it looks like. and it looks exactly like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl so props to those game designers

[empty topaz]

true lol, i just think it'd look cool

[trail nova]

speaking of, they made a stalker2...

[tall zinc]

a OS is fighting against every type of hardware configuration that exists on the planet, consumer grade hardware is inherently terrible for stability, it isn't like server components where they are built to last, because they don't make much money from it, and the typical cliche advice is to set unstable memory for better performance, etc

[trail nova]

i wouldn't worry too much about the OS, cachy is at the point where i can daily drive it now, literally the only thing i boot into windows for is when devs implement kernel level anti-cheat (which doesnt stop cheaters btw)

[empty topaz]

but you know people would still flock to it like crazy lol. there's already a Steam OS lmao

[trail nova]

and im looking into running a windows VM within cachy to do that anyways so it's like, whatever

[tall zinc]

the OS is arguably everything, the problems are not inherent to one, but many, Linux's main issue which still is unsolved and will never be solved is platform distribution for software is absolutely horrendous, and besides the fact that you can't run the game this server is on on it either since root access is blocked on the kernel, and then there's things like VRR not working on distros, etc

[trail nova]

gaming on linux isnt some thing that cant be done anymore, thanks to proton layer everything just works, and usually at higher performance

people like you discrediting it for this and that just actually havent tried it. read as many articles as you want it wont compare to just plugging in the USB and booting to it, spending an hour with it. if anything, it's an improvement over windows

[tall zinc]

no, it doesn't, you need to manually use Wayland, since x11 is used by default, performance on RDNA is terrible on some situations etc, the claim of it just works is a myth, it's getting better, but it doesn't just work

oh insert these protons environment variables in your game for it to be stable is a objectively terrible position to be in for supposedly just working

[empty topaz]

lol i like that... "Everything just works".. I might make that into a T-shirt.

[tall zinc]

whether you prefer it to windows or not is your own choice but it isn't true to say it just works

[trail nova]

lot of people enjoying Arc Raiders recently on linux just as 1 example, we would be enjoying BF6 as well if they chose a more sensible anti-cheat solution, maybe next time

[tall zinc]

that's because easy anticheat turns itself off i.e runs in user mode, any platform that allows for this is not serious about preventing cheaters, sorry

[trail nova]

sorry i meant it just works with more performance than windows

[tall zinc]

performance between both is variable on the situation

[empty topaz]

Rockstar is running a pretty tight ship rn lmao. js boss

[trail nova]

im speaking from actual experience im booted into cachy right now, you talk from hearsay, let the other chatters be the judge who's right eh

[tall zinc]

I am not talking from hearsay, I have nobara 43 set up on my own, please don't tell me I'm talking in hearsay, I actively support distribution to Linux for software, and is windows

[empty topaz]

I grew up with windows so ican't really say i prefer any other OS, just anything but fuckin MAC

[trail nova]

the thing ive noticed about linux users is a lot of existing ones treat it as a dev platform, and do other things, and work more as super users within the OS, and admittedly know a lot more about the inner workings than a user like me

me? i installed cachy, installed my games, looked up the right proton version on protondb for some, and it works. no rice, no custom this or that. i get more frames, i didnt have to install any drivers, im just gaming

and you couldn't say that for linux pre steam deck so they have come an incredible long way in a short amount of time, and it's only going to get better. im very positive about it

[tall zinc]

I have used every OS as they exist, it is rather insulting to say hearsay, everything I have said is true, fsr redstone doesn't even support Linux either, it is windows only, you cannot run it at all on any game on any distro for that reason, which is why it just doesn't work

you also have the deeper stuff with Vulkan etc which is it's own headache I can't be bothered getting into

[trail nova]

for a gamer we dont care about software distro, so long as the versions of our basic apps on the repo work, we're happy. we just want frames in our games, we want them to work, and guess what they do. in fact many games the windows version is better and more performant on linux than the native linux versions, especially for older games, these are my findings

[tall zinc]

you will care because FSR4 redstone is what every RDNA4 GPU is supposed to run for an upscaler, and you can't, at all, under Linux since the SDK doesn't support it

as much as I would like a competitor to windows where it "just works" that is just not the case currently

[trail nova]

so im very happy with the custom steam machine or gabecube i have built myself, i know things will only progress more and be better as time goes along, we have Valve doing per-game updates to proton which is massive for us, very happy

[placid wyvern]

Saiga's officially my favorite shotgun.

[tall zinc]

and the issue around anticheats will never be solved unless valve go out their way to make a custom kernel, at which point it's, it's whole own thing

[empty topaz]

Why aren't more people playing on Linux?

[placid wyvern]

I thought the M10 was great once I got used to it, but the saiga's been great immediately out the gate.

[trail nova]

there has been a massive uptick in bazzite and cachy installs from the gamer demographics in the last 6 months. historically its known as a tinkerer and dev platform where games dont run but that's just not true anymore, we have a lot to thank the Steam Deck for there

but the short answer is when Timmy goes to Best Buy what OS is installed on his PC? lol

[tall zinc]

it's still relatively small fries relative to the market base, albeit microsoft brought this on themselves

[trail nova]

it's true M$ co-pilot and 365 services launch could not have been worse pushing people away. it was the straw that broke camel's back for me

[empty topaz]

i like how the name everyone uses when making an analogy is fucking Timmy lol

[trail nova]

for me i was making content and every windows update broke my OBS Studio production in one or multiple ways. guess what it works perfect on Linux hahah and I can choose when to update and WHAT to update, far more agency

[tall zinc]

no it wasn't, it was the botched QA over the last few years, and besides, you can never escape them anyways, the people who develop the most popular gaming distros are themselves Microsoft developers too half the time

as it turns out in order to support the ecosystem you need highly skilled engineers and they exist at these corpos for a reason

[trail nova]

yeah because its where the money is, not because it's where the quality is

[empty topaz]

but no... as if i was about to lose everything on my PC because of a stupid botched update

[tall zinc]

no you werent

[empty topaz]

if i reinstalled windows?

[trail nova]

but that aside it doesnt change the fact my games work, i know they do, ive seen my benchmarks, you can yap about how it's bad this and that but im happy with my setup. i only wish HD/4K streaming worked for me on linux, but that could be something on my end not sure, still working it out

[tall zinc]

as I've said 3 times the reset pc option does not wipe your data

[empty topaz]

oh my bad

[modest walrus]

Using AA launchers to waste aircraft's flairs should count as an assist istg

[trail nova]

let me ask you a question @tall zinc seeing you're so negative and disparaging about it, what would stop you using a cachy build for a gaming PC?

[tall zinc]

I am not negative, pointing out flaws with something does not imply so called disparagement, they are legitimate criticisms, the fact you've construed it as such is rather the problem, I don't have a race in this camp, cause I don't care either way

[modest walrus]

Asking Deco questions; you're playing a loosing game my friend

[subtle sluice]

hmm

[tall zinc]

I can do the very same thing with windows aswell

[trail nova]

oh is he like that, yeah i figured maybe all the negativity was unfounded, thanks for clarifying

[modest walrus]

Good to see you're still kicking it here mate lol

[tall zinc]

ye you too how you been

[modest walrus]

Good but busy, having a kiddo will do that I spose.

[tall zinc]

oh damn really?

[trail nova]

is that your answer LOL

[modest walrus]

Mhm, 14 months now.

[modest walrus]

Im still chapped about this

These engi class assignments are lame asf

[trail nova]

that's like saying if I miss with my rifle and cause someone to strafe it should be an assist

[tall zinc]

if you must know I am the developer behind DLSS updater, search it on Google, you'll see it supports cross distribution between windows and Linux, it's a fairly popular utility with either install base, I wasn't going to brash my credentials but you seem to think I have some inherent hatred

[modest walrus]

Almost like suppression assists exist??

[tall zinc]

damn congrats man gg

[trail nova]

wasnt my question, wasnt an opportunity for you to big-note yourself, you seem like a straight up narcissist. but glad i found that out quickly

[tribal zodiac]

After 680 hours i finally played engineer intentionally today

Apparently the class takes away my ability to get kills

[tall zinc]

the question is implicit to the comments I said before, there isn't much point repeating myself, VRR/software incompatibility etc, I already said everything

[modest walrus]

Thanks mate, how you been? Obviously still having fun around here lol

[empty topaz]

ayy good to meet you man, but maybe delete that so people don't flood you. ❤️

[trail nova]

what incompatibilty? and you're saying my 165hz vrr monitor isnt working now? lol

[tall zinc]

yeah not bad, I'm in the process of moving job rn to a data centre, handed in my notice last week so finishing up the end of February

[tall zinc]

it happens enough dw but appreciate the concern 🤣

[tall zinc]

never said that, it isn't about you, VRR under Linux just has issues with certain hardware configurations where it doesn't work, is all

[trail nova]

could say that about anything. "certain configurations" means you'd discredit the whole install? cmon thats horse shit and you know it

[heady gale]

What a strange conversation

[tall zinc]

it's to do with the kernel, not a distro, so yes it affects everything, this is why gnome literally only a week ago marked VRR as not experimental anymore, cause it still is

[trail nova]

he's basically saying if he can't run his normal windows desktop on linux 1 to 1 it's shit

[tall zinc]

I never implied that anywhere, did you miss the part where I said I had nobara

[trail nova]

no idea what that is, doesnt sound like a gaming distro though

or i'd probably know it about, you know after having done research before choosing cachy over bazzite

[empty topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-jackson-comendo-picoca-gif-9669437860846841235

[tall zinc]

it's built on fedora and yes is absolutely can be used for gaming the same as cachy, bazzite and others

[trail nova]

is it Arch?

[tall zinc]

fedora is from RHEL

[trail nova]

yeah, again sounds like you come from a dev or tinkerer background where you actually know too much about little things that dont work, and brings those little things up when for the most part, today in 2026 linux just works

you're "yeah but if you have X hardware and Y config it wont" doesnt really mean anything these days

[tall zinc]

those "little things" are important for gamers, the end category user here, whether you think they are irrelevant doesn't particularly matter

VRR and FSR4 are rather critical pieces of tech every so called gamer is familiar with

can you install it and use it for fine for games? yes probably, does that mean it doesn't have issues? no

[trail nova]

and VRR works just fine. and FSR4 i believe is some upscaling tech that PC gamers wont care too much about because we want more VRAM and pure rasterization. morons who have bought into buying 8 and 16gb nvidia cards and sold on shitty upscale tech that makes everything look blurry for the last what? 10 years? thats a whole other story

[tall zinc]

🤨

[trail nova]

i actually bought a b580 then a 9070 xt and havent looked back

no upscaling used on either. tried it but didnt enjoy the ghosting/blurry end result

[tall zinc]

I mean, suit yourself ig, but it doesn't preclude anything

@modest walrus the last time you were here iirc was Dec? can't believe it's been that long already

[modest walrus]

Exciting stuffs

[tall zinc]

my manager wasn't too happy with the resignation but eh oh well

[modest walrus]

Yeah haven't been around a whole lot since EA took the server.

[tall zinc]

ye fair enough, lot of folk disappeared

[trail nova]

thing i see a lot especially among my circles (content creation) is they'll be sitting over there on windows 11 with their nvidia hardware with all their games and production working

and i'll be sitting over here and my AMD hardware on linux, and they'l tell me linux doesnt work. but im over here doing the sames they do no issues

[tall zinc]

congrats on the kid hope it goes well, i suspect it's scary 🤣

[modest walrus]

Kinda sad I left before I got the Legacy role but oh well lol.

[trail nova]

so there's some more work to do before people get on board, but it's true and it works, that's enough for me

[modest walrus]

Mostly just exhausting at this point. Excited for her to be older and sleep consistently and be a tid bit more independent lol

[tall zinc]

🤣 I think that's what every parent tells themselves, you've got more guts than me no way I'd have one personally at least for like a decade

the cat is enough for me

[trail nova]

wives and children are tricks people use to take the things you like away, replace them and tell you that you should like these new things instead

and you do it because "love", but then when the love ends, all that's left around you is things you don't like.

signed,
guy going through divorce

sorry that was dark, i'll take my anti-depressants now

[misty yew]

ngl that sounds like they weren't your kids, because if that's how you feel about your kids, you need help

And not to sound dismissive, but this isn't the place for it either

[empty topaz]

woooooooooaaaaaahhh

[trail nova]

oh no i love my daughter and miss her a lot, anyway video games

[modest walrus]

Honestly she’s the cutest little thing ever. It’s just a roller coaster of ups and downs. Some days are worse than others

[modest walrus]

That’s some edgelord TikTok comment as shi ngl.

[tall zinc]

I take it the most impacted is your sleep right? 🤣

[trail nova]

it's really bad isnt it LOL sorry

[subtle sluice]

ikr i dont understand what going on

[modest walrus]

It’s gotten a bit better. We took the easy way out and half co-sleep. (After she got old enough for it to be more safe).

So after she wakes up we just bring her into our room for the remainder of the night.

[trail nova]

we were discussing the virtues of linux vs windows for computer games

[tall zinc]

huh interesting, never actually heard of that does it work

[modest walrus]

Short term solution that causes just as much issues as it resolves tbh.

[tall zinc]

yeah I suppose cause they'll come to expect it sort of thing?

[trail nova]

if i put my daughter between us in bed when she was little i'd just get punched most of the night she was crazy little sleep monster

[misty yew]

I'm going to bet once the Gabe Cube is released, Linux is going to become way more mainstream for gaming

[modest walrus]

Yeah, I personally like it as it feels a bit more human. But definitely doesn’t help them learn to self soothe /sleep

[trail nova]

i am hoping so, and maybe DICE will re-think their anti-cheat solution to make their next BF games more linux friendly

[tall zinc]

ye I get you sounds like a difficult situation

[modest walrus]

Yeah the 3am tantrums aren’t fun.

[trail nova]

Valve did it in the handheld gaming space, so many people have steam decks which means they are all gaming on linux, and yes again it just works. so they can do it in the PC space, they just have to do it the right way

[lofty raven]

back to tech talk in the bf discord again?

[empty topaz]

i was a perfect angel when i was a kid... did no wrongdoings, just sat in the school sandbox eating sand. Never commited one crime.

[modest walrus]

The upside is we had her when we were 25. So by the time a lot of people are having kids we’re going to be chilling lol

[tall zinc]

it happens one way or another 🤣

[misty yew]

I'm all for it. If it becomes more mainstream, I'll probably switch myself, just because I'm sick of Microslop

[lofty raven]

"I am inevitable"

[modest walrus]

Sounds like the exact thing a little kid criminal mastermind that likes sand sandwiches would say ngl

[tall zinc]

planning an early retirement? 🤣

[modest walrus]

I wish, sadly I live in Canada

[tall zinc]

ah ye gg for that happening anytime soon in Canada

[trail nova]

yeah i switched early, couldnt wait so just installed linux on a second drive to try it. now i use it daily

[empty topaz]

we're nextdoor neighbours.

[lofty raven]

r/UsernameChecksOut

[trail nova]

@tall zinc are there people on nvidia hardware with issues gaming on linux? might explain the negativity. ive heard amd and intel gpus are far more performant

[tall zinc]

NV has issues with performance on dx12, this will be rectified soon in a new driver in a few months, but RDNA has its own issues half the time, the Linux 6.18 kernel halved RDNA3 performance across the board for example due to a bug, intel doesn't care about Linux infact their GPU architect said it isn't a priority

NV are doing a lot of investment i.e NOVA etc, but these will take time to come to fruition

[placid wyvern]

Literally what's the appeal of buying an eighty dollar game just to sit on the fringes of the map and spam mortars randomly just to go 1 and 3?

[misty yew]

LOL

[tall zinc]

there is also more weird issues like hdmi 2.1 not working on RDNA whatsoever under Linux but working on Nvidia etc due to the hdmi forum

[lofty raven]

people loved it in BF1 lol

[misty yew]

I'm laughing, but isn't it not too different from sniping 400 meters away?

[trail nova]

is that why i get weird HDCP errors on latest amd hardware?

[tall zinc]

yes, hdmi 2.1 just doesn't function on Linux as it was banned by the hdmi forum when AMD trying adding patches

[placid wyvern]

I agree in the camping sense, but at least snipers get kills.

[trail nova]

rofl banned. sooo HD streaming works on NV that's good to know

[tall zinc]

it works under Nvidia since in NV everything is handled in the GSP layer and interactions are via kernel modules, it doesn't work like that under RDNA

[misty yew]

True. I can only think some are just happy they are on the team, even if they're just the towel boy

[tall zinc]

well via the GSP from turing+

[trail nova]

that's actually really interesting and you just solved a mystery over here that I was troubleshooting so thanks

[tall zinc]

once NOVA is mainlined and replaces nouveau the situation will be flipped where NV works better than RDNA on linux, but that is still years out

[tall zinc]

all good

[wispy niche]

My game is so fucking smooth rn. Top tier. If anyone wants PC mnk tips hmu

[trail nova]

ye how do i get throwing knife kills. please send help

[wispy niche]

Get ur settings good enough to be perfectly smooth, then get ur aim skills good enough to hs

Real shit

Aim training, in game or kovaaks/aimlabs

There's a good firing range in portal code is z4zt6

[trail nova]

best 3D aim training app

[wispy niche]

In game is best to train ngl. Aim training apps will likely improve skill you prolly won't need in this game

Try the portal code

[trail nova]

true i noticed aimlabs trains hitscan aim which makes you worse at BF

[wispy niche]

Recoil and spread aren't accounted for. Neither is movement. Those apps just for raw mouse control.

It's a good warmup tho

[subtle sluice]

hmm

[balmy sinew]

😄 🗣️ 🗣️

[subtle sluice]

okay

[balmy sinew]

you working tonight?

[subtle sluice]

no i just stop playng bf lol

[balmy sinew]

nice I just got back from dinner, probably gonna run some games. Loving the new patch 🥳 🎉

[subtle sluice]

new update ?

[misty yew]

iirc capped at 100 per kill and 50 per assist

[crimson plover]

are there any good solo modes

[placid wyvern]

Checked earlier it's 120 for player kills. Didn't test bots.

[balmy sinew]

They just patched some bugs, maybe a hotfix patch I didn't read the notes..

[misty yew]

Ah good deal

[balmy sinew]

but I noticed a difference

[tribal zodiac]

Suppression and equipment damage also count

[misty yew]

Now that I didn't know

[placid wyvern]

Shoot everything

I only have two primaries left to get to 40.

Then all the pistols except for the M44.

[misty yew]

If I would have known that, I would have been spraying all the time lol

[placid wyvern]

I'm really mulling over doing the DB-12 though. Piece of junk.

[cold oasis]

Same

[subtle sluice]

i see well didnt notice anything different

hope in season two they make that dmr have glint man i cant

[balmy sinew]

With how the skins are going lately, Season 2 has a lot of potential, maybe a little something for everyone 😄

[rich torrent]

DICE make a smart change? Now that would be something.

[balmy sinew]

We'll see how it goes.

[placid wyvern]

I sure hope they're cooking. Hopefully season 1 was like their 'pilot episode'.

[subtle sluice]

stop breaking my dream tow 😭

[rich torrent]

Sorry broski.

[subtle sluice]

i love getting two tap across the map and cant see where it came from cuz he laying in a bush

[rich torrent]

You know what they are cooking? An extremely OP LB with the TOW and RPG nerfs.

[rich torrent]

It's great huh? I could've sworn some previous titles gave them glint with 4x or higher - or maybe that was COD.

[subtle sluice]

prob

[static glacier]

i miss drone glitch

[balmy sinew]

I'm seeing a lot of Mini Scout Peekers lately, dude shot me while I was prone in grass.. from 200m from behind?! Nasty work 😂

[abstract nexus]

Too bad you'll just have to die and call put where they are to your squad mates that definitely will cooperate and help you

[rich torrent]

Wait you have grass? My settings are low enough to not see it in most situations lmao.

[severe flame]

I once headshoted a enemy from a moving transport helicopter with the mini scout

[balmy sinew]

Yeah it was on the Oilfield map idk the name.

[rich torrent]

Blackwell, best map in the game.

[subtle sluice]

y.e.s

[balmy sinew]

Nice 👍🙂 those are the best kills tbh.

[severe flame]

Sadly my steelseries refused to clip :(

[balmy sinew]

That part!!! It's my favorite TDM map. :p

[rich torrent]

People I play with cannot stand it but have to play it because of me.

[subtle sluice]

it like when i play with razr im force to play eastwood...

[rich torrent]

Lmao, why don't you like Eastwood?

[severe flame]

Eastwood can be fun sometimes

[subtle sluice]

oh boy let me find the 1 Tb note that i wrote about what piss me off in eastwood

[rich torrent]

That bad huh?

I'd love to jam with you guys to have a decent team when I'm solo but being OCE I'd be at 250+ ms lmao. 💔

[lofty raven]

that's funny cause i love eastwood and cant stand blackwell

[subtle sluice]

yes two day ago i got so piss i said yeah that enough im done and legit alt f4 and when to bed

[rich torrent]

Shii, I guess it could have its issues in BT which doesn't pop up too often in OCE. Biggest complaint for that map in BT from what I have played is the Tank for attackers on S1.

[subtle sluice]

i mean we did play with a japaness two day ago and we were in server that both of us ping werent bad

[rich torrent]

Yea I think Asia is around 120ms personally. I'm sitting at 48ms in my region but that's due to the only server being on the east coast. I desperately need to upgrade my CPU though, ever since the Dec 9th update I just can't get a stable 120fps anymore.

But you know, Ai be doing Ai things and switching to an AMD CPU currently would cost me around $2,500 AUSD minimum.

[subtle sluice]

damn that aint cheap

[balmy sinew]

This happened one time before like 2017 or 2019
I can't remember but my gpu doubled in price.

[heady gale]

New skins today, better be good

[subtle sluice]

wait new skin ?

[heady gale]

I mean I hope so

[rich torrent]

An intel CPU upgrade would be around $500 to $1,000 but obviously weaker choices compared to the AMD options - currently on an i7-12700 so either way it's an upgrade but I've heard intels i9s, etc have issues.

[rich torrent]

I wonder what the Ai wrapped up for us today.

[heady gale]

Idc as long as it looks good

[subtle sluice]

12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12600KF (3.70 GHz) that what i have

[rich torrent]

What FPS are you getting with that?

[subtle sluice]

80 ish

[rich torrent]

You get crazy dips with intense combat at all?

[lofty raven]

i mean BF6 is not gonna be bottlenecked by most modern cpu's, its gonna be a GPU boottleneck

[subtle sluice]

i mean i never got any issues so yeah

[tribal zodiac]

I dont understand how thats playable

[rich torrent]

Mine use to be a stable 120fps but now I had to limit it to 90fps but during certain maps like Iberian in intense combat I'll be lucky to get 60. I was house sitting for 2 weeks and had a far better PC and my infantry gameplay absolutely sky rocketed in how I was playing.

[tribal zodiac]

My i9 12900k was pinned at 100% 24/7 with bf6 on all low at 1080p

[lofty raven]

3090? or smth else?

[rich torrent]

Yea BF6 defintely requires more CPU than GPU.

[severe flame]

Did you try capping fps?

[tribal zodiac]

3080ti

[severe flame]

As otherwise it will be at 100% all the time

[tribal zodiac]

That was capped at 144

[subtle sluice]

i have a 3060

[severe flame]

May I suggest around 80-100 depending on performance?

[marble stag]

Interesting how my i7 13700kf is doing much better

[tribal zodiac]

Either way i do not have said i9 anymore

CPU clocked out after 3 years of light use lol

I have a 9800x3d now and i dont think ive ever seen it go above 50% usage

[deft vault]

anyone having random stuttering in the game, my game stutters after i upgraded to 9070xt
like the game itself is smooth but there are stuttering here and there

[marble stag]

Not really, no. Performance is the only thing that's been going consistently well for me

[tribal zodiac]

DDU clear shader cache and try again

[deft vault]

ive removed all previous nvidia drivers before installing amd gpu
but ill dry clearing shader cache of the amd drivers and try again
thanks

[lofty raven]

I just find that hard to believe tbh, the rasterization process should be way more intensive than the physics syncs with other players and the sync should be even easier with the added cores on the i9, maybe its a 1080p thing

[abstract nexus]

chat whats the fastest way to level up a gun

[tribal zodiac]

Breakthrough lol

[abstract nexus]

fr?

[subtle sluice]

yes

[undone flare]

Breakthrough or the 8v8 modes

[tribal zodiac]

I can get a gun and a half done in one day on breakthrough easily

[lofty raven]

my 7600x sits at around 60-70%

[abstract nexus]

oh true 8v8 modes

ig that makes sense you can die the moment you spawn in shit like dominion

[undone flare]

Breakthrough is more fun, more "Battlefield" imo

[lofty raven]

ive been loving escalation

[undone flare]

Pale shadow of BF1 Operations though

[tribal zodiac]

Then there is double xp breakthrough lol

[abstract nexus]

yeah but im not a big fan of breakthrough cause i feel my teammates ineptitude more

[tribal zodiac]

In 1 day

[abstract nexus]

like when there are mortars and they do nothing about it

or when we ignore the tank steamrolling us while off in bumfuck nowhere Ohio we got a miniscout padding his kd with our team

[undone flare]

At least it's not walking simulator for ten minutes then helplessly killed by an aircraft like conquest

Where you are equally at the mercy of your team

[abstract nexus]

conquest isnt even walking simulator anymore they took all of the land all the maps are symmetrical hotspots

[undone flare]

I just love dense infantry fights with everyone focused on one or two objectives

Anything with a frontline where I can be reasonably sure my team is over here and the enemy is over there

You know like a battlefield

[abstract nexus]

this might be true but enemy forces are less concentrated and your forces are less concentrated so i am less likely to see blackstone_YT run into an open field to try to get another grenade from the ammo box left out there, and less likely to be absolutely mobbed by a coordinated enemy squad since they have too many things to watch

[undone flare]

Forget new maps, all I want is when I put down my motion sensor as recon for it to go back to the gun I had out instead of my primary

[abstract nexus]

REAL

[undone flare]

Creeping up on a building in redsec, smg in hand, motion sensor down, pulls out sniper, enemy peeks up close and I'm dead

[abstract nexus]

i got so annoyed by that when doing dominion to level up my fuckass m44 cause id set the sensor to cheese some kills but then my primary would come out and i would get caufght swapping or i would kill with the wrong weapon

[undone flare]

I'm a 1911 man for life

Sorry, M45 😑

Can't call guns their real names anymore

Easily one of the top five iconic guns of all time, 115 years old, absolutely no patent or copyright issues. Yeah let's change the name

[solemn rivet]

Isn't it just a variant of the 1911

Hence the name change

Lanks is writing a novel dang

[subtle sluice]

indeed

[hollow jasper]

if you have a 2k monitor run the game in 2k, youll exxperince less cpu bottleneck, i have am i7-11700kf and bottle neck at 1080p and 4k

[hollow jasper]

and im running a 9060xt so simmilar ish build

[hybrid robin]

hi

[hollow jasper]

im typing on puter and im bad at it

[solemn rivet]

Stop using your forehead to type

[hollow jasper]

stuttering might be a cpu graphically intense setting thing, dice did a memo a few weeks to months ago abouyt how depnding on cpu even high end ones, intense cpu sgraphis settings can induce micor stutter

[hollow jasper]

i didnt grow up with a computer so i have to look at the keys while im typing messages to get things written

[solemn rivet]

Well you keep keeping on

[tribal zodiac]

I have no intentions of going over 1080p

[hollow jasper]

for why? highest frame rate possible?

[tribal zodiac]

Yes and 1080p is enough

Mind you i have been playing CS on 4:3 stretched for like 12 years

[amber belfry]

for esports and being hyper comp yeah 1080p is enough. but god is 1440p a upgrade.

[hollow jasper]

i more so recomended it if you were worried about your 100% cpu load, i min max qaulity and fps, i get 120 average on 2k with a simmilar quality build

[hollow jasper]

ive only been pc gaming since 2021, and doing multiplayer games since battlebit came out on pc

[tribal zodiac]

Oh my 9800x3d doesnt go above 50% usage even while streaming

[amber belfry]

i had a do 500 damage to air vehicles on foot challange. rpgd a heli and it didnt count. was forced to use a stinger who codes this crap

[hollow jasper]

i thought you were using an i9-12900f

[amber belfry]

its almost like you have the best gaming cpu available

[tribal zodiac]

I was until it died lol

[hollow jasper]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nvm

[tribal zodiac]

Go big or go home

[hollow jasper]

id try to jump to that if the price of ddr5 wasnt 1 grand for 32gb

[amber belfry]

agreed, thats why i bought the 7800x3d a month before the 9800x3d came out for less than what its worth now

[hollow jasper]

as it stands with ram prices im probably going to jump to an i9-14900kf with ddr 4 32 gb lol

[amber belfry]

its so miserable, ssds double to tripled in price. hdds did to. power supplies went up slightly. gpus are still rising and ram isnt going down

[tribal zodiac]

I may or may not have rage purchased my 9800x3d on a best buy credit card

(I paid it off, sold my cs skins)

[hollow jasper]

cxmt announced theyre mass preoducing consumer ddr and starting production of ddr5 so itll be shoretly till chepa chinese ram floods the markets and makes everything nice again

[amber belfry]

the chinese ram is still marked up

[hollow jasper]

id simplly buy it on amamzon and pay 100 a month for like 7 months

[tribal zodiac]

Nah i had an awful week at work and hadnt been able to play all week and my 12900k died 1 hour after i got home on friday

[amber belfry]

thats a thing? you can finance your cpu? at best a webshop will let you use klarna pay in 3 here.

[hollow jasper]

yes but not as bad as US ram their sticks of ddr4 were like 75-100 cheaper than US equivalent

[amber belfry]

the shit that makes a grown man cry tbh

[hollow jasper]

i financed my most recent gpu, 2 months bi weekly

[tribal zodiac]

I was not happy, got a mobo and ram from my friend at 3am and went to best buy as soon as they opened for the cpu

[amber belfry]

there are no us ramsticks if you think about it

[hollow jasper]

i know its chinese the whole way down

[amber belfry]

i did pay in 3 on my 4080s just to gaslight myself that it wasnt that big of a expense.

[tribal zodiac]

Took me roughly 8 hours from my 12900k dying to back on a new pc lol

[hollow jasper]

thats what ill do lol for my next gpu, i like to collect tech and use it, so ill next get a 9070xt when rpice drops again (probably may to july) and finance it
