tough folio

thought metro was bf3

solar obsidian
#

dawnbreak was iconic

solar obsidian
hexed mango
#

i cant wait for them to add a canted thermal, like a sight thats both thermal and not thermal

plain needle
#

That’ll be dope

solar obsidian
#

suddenly smoke launcher meta

tough folio
#

metro was in 5?

plain needle
#

2x with a canted Red dot or thermal would be dope

acoustic seal
#

smoke launcher is already the secret meta, gotta make your own cover on these maps

hexed mango
#

yeah metro was in v, just a different version

#

similar in concept

hexed mango
#

but 3 and 4 were basically the same

#

ive been using smoke launcher since it came out

solar obsidian
#

WoahTea remove blue color tint, take old assets and degrade them less, metro 4 done

solar obsidian
acoustic seal
#

lol wut

solar obsidian
#

just curious

acoustic seal
#

lower than it should be

solar obsidian
#

higher than 60+?

#

there are nothing wrong or bad in this coversation

tough folio
#

20

#

nah jk

solar obsidian
#

its much if you are closer to 60 most of the times, compared to like 90+

it might be ideal to set your screen refresh rate to 60hz

#

even with gsync and freesync

hexed mango
#

javelin so fun

drowsy shuttle
#

Remove the fucking ranger from the game. Holy shit

solar obsidian
#

buff ranger

hexed mango
#

I may have to rename myself to support the javelin

#

buff ranger

solar obsidian
#

its melting to high power ammo

drowsy shuttle
#

Id like to see the real ping we have.. i dont trust the latency that is showing in the scoreboard

acoustic seal
#

ranger should have like 1/10 of the hp it does now

#

whatever the boris turret has now

sterile flint
#

errrrr no

drowsy shuttle
solar obsidian
#

WoahTea you screen resolution increases the damage and life of ranger 🙂

#

@hexed mango

#

watch me launch this game in 8k 60fps

acoustic seal
drowsy shuttle
#

Ranger and boris turret are like moskitos and flies... they exist just to annoy people.

sterile flint
solar obsidian
#

players using close combat mags and complain about low damage output to armored targets

#

high power does well against them

#

armor piercing is just a joke how easy they melt

sterile flint
#

it's almost like we have to use the tools available to us now

solar obsidian
eager spire
#

why would you ever use close combat mags

#

no seriously why would you ever do that.

#

do you gain anything from doing that

hexed mango
#

and seeing as there's only like 2 rangers max per team. why shouldnt it be effective

eager spire
solar obsidian
#

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

hexed mango
#

yeah there are 2 per team

solar obsidian
#

that has to be the worst thing to cry about hahaahahaha

hexed mango
#

he a good boi

solar obsidian
#

he is my robo dog

acoustic seal
#

come and kill me yourself instead of getting the invincible robot dog to do it for you

#

same reason boris turret was thrown into the dumpster early on

hexed mango
#

boris needs a buff still

solar obsidian
acoustic seal
#

same cringe as mortars in the games before it

#

low effort mechanic that rewards you kills for some reason

solar obsidian
acoustic seal
#

the ads change was stupid for entirely different reasons

solar obsidian
#

always another excuse ready

#

hahaha

hexed mango
#

"uhm actually" 🤓

eager spire
#

it was stupid because it was cosmetic and also made the game feel bad for basically no reason, and also the weapons designer was quoted as not being sure if that was the right direction to take, but implemented it into the game anyway, only for it to be announced that it's getting reverted after 3 days.

hexed mango
#

so in the end its getting removed hence why so butthurt in one of the biggest updates in the game

eager spire
#

Also, giving a shit about this over a year into the game's life is a bit late to suddenly decide that this is a problem, and also, why is this a problem but the LMG's are fine

eager spire
solar obsidian
acoustic seal
eager spire
#

WITH THE PATCH.

solar obsidian
#

black screen actually started this patch

eager spire
solar obsidian
#

at least for my squad

eager spire
#

ADS bug with the SFAR is not a new issue.

solar obsidian
#

i know

eager spire
#

Black screen, never heard of it prior to now.

#

Sorry.

solar obsidian
#

just amazed how that game breaking glitch is still there 😄

hexed mango
#

yeah i know, and it is annoying. to which i agree. but my issue lies with people saying "one step forward, 2-3 steps back" like is this not singularly the biggest game changing updates ever
obviously, the issues persist, and im not justifying them, but i mean idk the complaining about stuff that doesnt necessarily take away from the massive good the update has is just annoying to me

(but yeah glad ads is being reversed, and please fix sfar bug)

solar obsidian
#

happens for all in my squad, me included

eager spire
hexed mango
#

yet this update is not one step forward, its a massive step forward. and while the ads bug is annoying, its not 3 entire steps back.

solar obsidian
#

patch is great yeah,

eager spire
#

On it's own, no.

acoustic seal
#

gadget restrictions did not change the game in the way you think they did

hexed mango
#

yeah they quite did.

acoustic seal
#

the most contested mechanic was specialist abilities which were mostly untouched

eager spire
#

i remember when people were saying this update was gonna be a vehicle buff

hexed mango
#

yeah but the pairing of those gadgets with the open gadgets.

solar obsidian
#

ammo and health crates for everybody was nice they got rid of that

eager spire
#

and then they added the javelin/tracer dart combo.

eager spire
hexed mango
#

i mean ive been seeing a lot of healing in 3.2, not as much ammo, but more healing and reviving than before

solar obsidian
#

yeah

white ginkgo
#

yo real talk my weed taste like perfume i dont got time to ask reddit do i put the shit out orrrr

#

beyond off topic ik

eager spire
solar obsidian
white ginkgo
#

fuck the closest to my keyboard

#

zexten thats wrong

#

i melt it like cheese on the stove then fill the tub and bathe in axe deodorant

hexed mango
#

pass it

white ginkgo
#

bruh

#

to my heater?

#

pc case?

hexed mango
#

to me

white ginkgo
#

shucks

#

the keyboard warriors are about to tell me off

#

i can smell it

#

do it

eager spire
#

but yeah, DICE has a really annoying habit of having decent ideas, using them, and then forgetting about them. Either that, or they'll have a few good ideas, but there's just some major thing that's fucked up that brings down the whole experience.

white ginkgo
#

DICE taking adderall for motivation confirmed

#

i do the same

hexed mango
#

same

white ginkgo
#

except theyre only good ideas in my mind

hexed mango
#

sure...

eager spire
#

There's a reason why i say that DICE's M.O. is "One step forward, 3 steps back", because that's generally what ends up happening. They never seem to keep good ideas around.

white ginkgo
#

and forget cause of the adderall motivation

charred stag
#

Do you guys think we'll be able to customize vault weapons next season?

white ginkgo
charred stag
#

Aw

solar obsidian
white ginkgo
#

i mean we can, but barely

eager spire
charred stag
#

Yeah but I mean skin and charm wise

solar obsidian
#

the complaining will never stop even if dice throw out a 10/10 game in pure polish and cotent

eager spire
#

Ammo stations on the map from BFV. Good idea.

#

Removing suppression. Good idea.

solar obsidian
white ginkgo
#

products will always have a reason for someone to complain, no one nor anything is perfect thats just the way it is i agree with you zexten

arctic grove
eager spire
#

The Plus System is interesting but poses problems for balance.

arctic grove
#

Also it’s squad management stuff

cyan trout
#

I disagree I think it would stop if dice put out polished content on release

white ginkgo
#

imagine how funny this shit would get with prox chat between both teams

solar obsidian
arctic grove
white ginkgo
#

i could imagine the condor bombers just screaming at me as they ram

eager spire
hexed mango
#

plus system needs to be in the next game

eager spire
#

I think things being unbalanced is not very fun.

hexed mango
#

or else im not buying yo

solar obsidian
#

yes, but its just not possible in a game with this scale, and the outcry for so many gadgets to bee there

eager spire
#

Just because people want some things to be there doesn't mean they should be.

solar obsidian
#

something will just be better than the rest,

white ginkgo
#

do i spend money on the shop and regret it in a month like i did with mw2?

#

yes, yes i do

hexed mango
#

nope

white ginkgo
#

bro

arctic grove
#

Yes

#

You will buy boins

drowsy shuttle
white ginkgo
#

ur supposed to pressure me into buying

solar obsidian
#

balance a game is such an impossible task, as a dev you mostly just tuning down whatever is good and overused, and buff the underused

arctic grove
#

Buy more boins

white ginkgo
#

thank u levi i will

#

say i wont

queen trout
#

It’s a good things they brought classes back

white ginkgo
#

do i have image perms

#

fuck

hexed mango
#

no

cyan trout
#

If division 2 can somewhat balance pvp and pve. Battlefield should be able to balance a PvP only game.

eager spire
#

how hard can it be.

hexed mango
#

you say that but you wont

solar obsidian
#

and even then if the meta suddenly change, because some found the best playstyle, tons will mimick that

white ginkgo
solar obsidian
white ginkgo
#

i gotta add my card bruhhbgggggg

#

i hate not owning this on steam

eager spire
hexed mango
#

lel

eager spire
#

like, seriously.

solar obsidian
cyan trout
#

Division is a staple of Ubisoft and Massive.

hexed mango
#

make ur own game then if you have the epic abilities of balance

solar obsidian
#

same as any other competitive buisness

hexed mango
#

thats what im tryna do in college lel

sterile flint
#

can you say heli admin from bf4

copper fulcrum
solar obsidian
#

if you are good enough at something, you get to be a sought after as worker

drowsy shuttle
#

MTAR is good but not great.

solar obsidian
#

if you suddenly get fired

hexed mango
#

vault weapon 🤢

solar obsidian
#

you can easily find another place to work

eager spire
cyan trout
#

Sounds like you haven't worked much. Set the bar low going in so you always exceed expectations but not to the point of being taken advantage of

eager spire
eager spire
#

I don't wanna waste my damn time.

hexed mango
#

so dont

white ginkgo
cyan trout
#

Enjoy doing everyone else's work too then

hexed mango
#

first step: get off discord dies

copper fulcrum
solar obsidian
# eager spire I have my doubts.

take a look at the most important personal in most devs team, they either tend to stay for a good while, or change to other dev teams

#

they dont have around without job

#

nothing wrong with being fired after a job is done, either through contract ending or just you getting replaced

#

but if you are good enough, you properly wont be replaced at all

white ginkgo
#

bro ea charged my card a dollar and then said it cant verify

#

scammerz

#

IT DID IT AGAIN

#

BRO?

copper fulcrum
#

If it can't verify then they're not taking your money lol

white ginkgo
#

i wAnT my 2 DOLLARTH!! 🤓

solar obsidian
#

poor one

hexed mango
#

what did you say

white ginkgo
#

ik its gonna refund

eager spire
#

@solar obsidian i mean i've had a family member who worked with a company for years only to get laid off. he can't get a job anywhere else at this point, because according to every job he's applied for, he's "overqualified".

white ginkgo
#

im not this slow lol im just toying cause its rejecting

solar obsidian
eager spire
solar obsidian
#

shame

eager spire
#

it's ridiculous.

hexed mango
#

quite crazy

#

perhaps he could work for somewhere virtually?

#

or is the skillset different

vague nexus
#

Is the UI Resolution bug on resolutions above 1920x1080 ever going to be looked at?

white ginkgo
#

wow

vague nexus
#

I know that 75% of players still use 1080 and will not likely go above but come on

solar obsidian
#

explain

white ginkgo
#

i just had an intimite conversation with an EA support agent

#

i think im in love

solar obsidian
vague nexus
#

The UI at 2560x1440 or above is just blurry

solar obsidian
#

hmm

#

i not noticed that on my 4k screen, have you tried tooling around with windows scaling tool ?

vague nexus
#

can you screenshot your main menu real quick for me

solar obsidian
#

or disabled fullscreen optimisation in the exe

#

im not in game

vague nexus
#

DM me with it when you can

solar obsidian
#

its not happening today 😄

vague nexus
#

I'm patient

#

I've checked this on three independent PCs

#

With various monitors, and it's still happening

#

Maybe the issue is with 1440, but 4k and 1080 work fine?

#

Although if they do have 4k icons it would be better to downscale them to 1440 and not make blurry 1080 icons on 1440

white ginkgo
#

bro this is not okay

remote kiln
white ginkgo
#

EA just signed me into my paypal i did not enter jack shit but the email and restarted the process

vague nexus
white ginkgo
#

im tweakin tweakin yo

remote kiln
vague nexus
#

This monitor is not high-dpi, though?

remote kiln
#

it is a 1440p monitor

#

that is high DPI

granite island
#

22 air to air jet kills

#

Nice

white ginkgo
#

i like how when im buying points "great game garuntee: Not Eligible"

#

lmfao

#

kinda wack of EA to put that onto 2042 products the game is good

#
  • flex 5k bfc
#

good chunk of labor

#

ok fine i hate you too

#

schizo ahh

solar obsidian
arctic grove
#

You mean

white ginkgo
#

lmfao

remote kiln
#

it's literally a microtransaction, they can't put that by law lol

arctic grove
#

The store finally doesn’t work?

white ginkgo
#

it took me

#

45 minutes

#

to get it to work

solar obsidian
#

skill issue

white ginkgo
#

so yeah kinda

#

i had to use the same card it was declining EXCEPT on the paypal portal

#

like ok..

#

def skill issue

#

was in front of my face

vague nexus
# remote kiln that is high DPI

its only got 10dpi more than my 1080 monitor? I use windows with 100% scale on everything and everything except 2042 looks good

white ginkgo
#

the problem is 1080p

vague nexus
#

27" * 2560x1440 = 108dpi, 24" * 1920x1080 = 96dpi?

white ginkgo
#

oh

#

idk what the fuck ur on

arctic grove
#

game shit pants when I get into intensive areas on the map

white ginkgo
#

but how much for that crack cause where the fuck u coming up with this math

vague nexus
white ginkgo
#

dots per inch?

#

detections

remote kiln
white ginkgo
#

I MEANT
DETECTIONS

#

dont flame me

remote kiln
#

PPI not DPI

white ginkgo
#

pixels per inch

#

like the coefficient

#

?

#

oh my bad deco

vague nexus
# remote kiln PPI not DPI

yeah sorry, not DPI, i used the name because you said "high dpi" and dots and pixels can be used interchangeably with lcd monitors, its not a printer

white ginkgo
#

i thought u were still him

#

what

remote kiln
vague nexus
#

okay, where do I turn it on then, let's test it

white ginkgo
#

yall making me think bruh

#

say shit i understand

#

i wanna watch u talk

#

moves to dm

remote kiln
white ginkgo
#

wait should i do that just because i did it in rust too

#

like does that actually make a difference in anything

solar obsidian
#

WoahTea hey looks thats what i was sending him 10 min ago

remote kiln
#

if you don't have scaling issues don't do it

white ginkgo
#

nope

#

im gucci

#

damn i bought the credits now im just sitting here

#

did it to flex

vague nexus
# remote kiln

I did that, that's what I thought. It did not do anything.

white ginkgo
#

real big kid shit

vague nexus
#

My monitor is not high dpi.

white ginkgo
#

PPI?

#

sorry ihadto<3

remote kiln
#

my guy anything above 1080p is considered high PPI

white ginkgo
#

but

#

1440p so pretty deco

vague nexus
#

PPI is the density of the pixels not the resolution.

white ginkgo
#

1080p so mucky and blocky no matter what for me now

#

then again 1440p panel

vague nexus
#

If you spread 2 pixels over 2 inches you've got 1 PPI, if you spread the same 2 pixels over 1 inch you get 2 PPI. Pixels stay the same, PPI changes.

white ginkgo
#

so 1080 is bound to be ass for me

remote kiln
#

dude PPI is the calculation, DPI is the calculation the OS performs when subdividing a render

#

it has nothing to do with what you're thinking

white ginkgo
#

you cant remove pixels

#

you can change the resolution

#

but the pixels will always be there

vague nexus
#

Okay, If an application is scaled incorrectly, will it render 3D correctly despite rendering raster images and text wrong?

remote kiln
#

no

#

3D objects are not included

white ginkgo
#

it means you are trying to run a game not in native resolution probably without your gpu scaling settings set up but this is just IMO

remote kiln
#

it's the HUD area and associated render text only, it's not the only game that this happens with

white ginkgo
#

just a thought

remote kiln
#

or software, infact far from it

vague nexus
white ginkgo
#

im gonna guess you recently re installed correct?

#

i had fucky issues after re install non stop

remote kiln
#

and actually make sure you reboot the game when switching on scaling

white ginkgo
#

you have to delete the config file from the documents bf2042 folder, repair the files and it fixed any issues i had but also reset every setting and keybind

vague nexus
#

It happens in, nor has ever happened in, any other game or software except SWBF2 and BF1. I did not play BFV, but it seems like someone thinks >1080 players are margin enough that it's not worth making proper GUI over that res.

remote kiln
#

yeah, for you

white ginkgo
#

i play 1440p tho

#

it looks a okay

#

if u ask me

remote kiln
#

it's called occurrence probability my guy

vague nexus
#

On three separate desktops with three different 1440p monitors.

remote kiln
#

ok?

white ginkgo
#

okay okay now im smelling fish

vague nexus
#

Deco, what resolution do you play on?

remote kiln
#

the same as you lol

white ginkgo
#

480x480\

vague nexus
#

Okay, is the main menu sharp for you?

remote kiln
#

yes

white ginkgo
#

yes

vague nexus
#

Okay, can you show a screenshot of your main menu to me?

white ginkgo
#

i will too

vague nexus
#

My DMs are open.

white ginkgo
#

so even if deco dont wanna i got u

#

ill imgur it

vague nexus
#

okay

white ginkgo
#

opening sec

remote kiln
#

I'm not on my pc right now

white ginkgo
#

i got him dw

solar obsidian
#

@vague nexusWoahTea you gotten the almost exact same answer from two people in here,

remote kiln
#

old one I've just found

white ginkgo
#

dont mind the shadows on the character im using a performance cfg

vague nexus
#

you have the exact same issue as I do. It is the game's fault. 100%.

white ginkgo
#

mb

solar obsidian
#

you have a problem, we trying to help, dont argue that you dont have a high dpi monitor

white ginkgo
#

this is my game 1440p

vague nexus
#

Just look at the text sharpness on this screenshot.

remote kiln
#

dude

#

the screenshot is compressed

vague nexus
#

It is not, it looks exactly the same as mine

white ginkgo
#

bro dont tell me ur talking about the SLIGHT fuzz around text

#

how fucking OCD are you

remote kiln
#

their target sc resolution is 1080p..

vague nexus
#

EA is targeting 1080

white ginkgo
#

mainstream is 1080 thats why its designed that way

#

yes

#

because 90% of gamers have 1080

vague nexus
#

then how any other game can properly handle high resolutions?

vague nexus
solar obsidian
remote kiln
#

they dont

#

lol

vague nexus
#

anno 1800 does.

#

Even UI in god damned BF3 and 4 looks better.

solar obsidian
#

*anno does so any other game must"

white ginkgo
#

gta v doesnt support 1440p ui

remote kiln
#

it doesnt, that's why high DPI scaling exists

vague nexus
#

its small in 3 but it does work well

vague nexus
white ginkgo
#

nope

#

flawless widescreen

#

look it up

solar obsidian
#

lol

vague nexus
#

it doesn't look as blurry as 2042

remote kiln
#

no he's correct my guy it doesn't support 1440p for the rendered UI on GTA v

solar obsidian
#

WoahTea did is popcorn worthy

white ginkgo
#

lmao zexten

#

bros tried to call me out saying im new 😦 mfk im back after the failed launch

#

battlepass worth it or just buy shop shi?

vague nexus
#

ffs, these icons are rasterized vectors, same with the font. All EA would have to do to "fix" this is to render them at a higher DPI (yes I used that correctly) and then downscale it for 1080p. Not so hard to do.

solar obsidian
remote kiln
#

??

#

dude, that causes more issues not less

white ginkgo
eager spire
arctic grove
white ginkgo
#

bros talking vectors

remote kiln
#

I really doubt you have a clue how the subdivision actually works

white ginkgo
#

sorry for the rudeness

solar obsidian
vague nexus
white ginkgo
vague nexus
#

considering that's the stuff i major in

white ginkgo
#

that would be based on the topic of "why do the pictures on my game look like im watching a scratched up CD in 2010"

remote kiln
vague nexus
#

sure it is

#

it should be.

solar obsidian
vague nexus
#

but it looks like it's not

remote kiln
#

no dude, it shouldn't be

#

it can't be

white ginkgo
remote kiln
#

you know what happens with static images when in motion?

#

they fuck up and don't work

vague nexus
#

but some things are done properly!

#

for example the splash screen

#

before the game loads? that looks correct. and it's a 2d image! how did they do that, huh?

remote kiln
#

because the main menu isn't 2D dude

#

it's an in engine render

white ginkgo
vague nexus
remote kiln
#

please stop making things up

white ginkgo
vague nexus
#

it probably is but I have no idea why it would be as that is neither saving memory nor runtime resources

solar obsidian
remote kiln
#

you're just saying words when you clearly don't have a clue how the frostbite engine actually works for rendering

vague nexus
#

sure, I don't know.

white ginkgo
#

we are talking of the same thing now

#

zexten long story short were on the same page now sorry lmfao

remote kiln
#

good then don't make inaccurate claims which aren't true

vague nexus
#

ffs, that was sarcasm, I am majoring in graphics. I. know. how. monitors. and. 3d. rendering. works.

solar obsidian
#

if the game was not a competitive multiplayer game i would had played it with 60hz and bfi turned on,

white ginkgo
#

i-

#

bro 60hz is so unplayable to me

#

i look at a 60hz phone and literally get nauseous

next onyx
#

I don't think 60 is bad as long as it's stable.

remote kiln
#

are you sure? because what you should know is prerendered images when put into something that has geometrical space (e.g. a game) becomes a blurry mess, because it's 2D

#

you can't scale 3D and 2D dude

solar obsidian
vague nexus
#

for gui

remote kiln
#

and that's exactly what happens

#

lol

vague nexus
#

if it did it wouldn't be blurry

remote kiln
#

no dude, it's not what you're thinking

next onyx
#

Hey Deco say a cap my frames to 60, will I get the same response from my mouse and keyboard as if it's running on 165 Hz?

vague nexus
#

or perhaps someone messed up the part of the game that's responsible for rendering those 2d vector images and fonts

solar obsidian
white ginkgo
#

even if i pull 70 or 80fps im still personally running 165hz otherwise i whif any form of mouse interaction cause the mouse slows as well i just learned to love no Vsync, Freesync, and sometimes dipping way below refresh rate but that just me yesssir

remote kiln
#

in that it's slower

#

the end response will be processed slower, but there's no slowdown from the input

white ginkgo
#

mainly because of playing the game rust, mouse movement in menus with freesync 80-90hz was a pain

#

i have an idea

#

if we all just hopped into a game

#

we would all be content
Edit for the dummies:
in a state of peaceful happiness.
"he seemed more content, less bitter"

vague nexus
#

let's establish one thing. we can take a vector "image" of a line, which has got a set width, let's say this line is diagonal. if we render it on a 200x200 raster and then upscale that raster to 400x400 it's gonna be a bit blurry, depending on the kind of scaling algorithm we use, right?
but we can also render that vector line on a 400x400 raster, which makes it as sharp as it can be.
what i'm saying is bf2042's fonts and images are rendered on the same raster on high res as they are on low res. And I think the issue is deep within the engine (which makes sense) and is the reason why the same issue can be noticed in swbf2 and bf1

solar obsidian
#

@vague nexuswhats your monitor ?

plain hare
#

EOD bot

remote kiln
#

what you'll find dude is rendering at 1080p is the standard across games

vague nexus
#

yes, I said that in the beginning

it's then upscaled accordingly, 1080p isn't low DPI, it scales linearly with 1440p and 4k

vague nexus
remote kiln
#

why wouldn't it be

#

downscaling doesn't work

white ginkgo
#

ive learned from observation that u guys are conflicting for no reason, he understands it and so do you 😦 theres nothing we can do about the UI other than leave a note in #948574259209437264 pls 😦

remote kiln
#

there's no conflict

white ginkgo
#

my anxiety says otherwise i feel the tension lmfao

vague nexus
#

downscaling creates alias and upscaling creates blur

remote kiln
#

that's just you my guy

white ginkgo
#

u right

remote kiln
#

we're having a normal conversation

white ginkgo
#

i should see a psychiatrist huh

vague nexus
#

which is why the raster for rendering 2d vector images for ui should take the resolution into account and not scale the rasterized textures afterwards

white ginkgo
#

schizo prolly

solar obsidian
#

@vague nexuswhats your monitor? 😄

white ginkgo
#

@vague nexus yaknow.... dice is hiring

#

be the change u wanna seeee!!!!!!!!! oh yeah! but dont forget about me

#

gime alllll da battlebield bredits

remote kiln
#

the scaling is done by the OS, not by the game

vague nexus
#

i believe the rasterization system within frostbite was designed around 1080p perhaps with downscaling for smaller resolutions too. then 1080p+ was solved as an afterthought

remote kiln
#

it's how 99% of games work

#

very few even render above that to begin with

vague nexus
#

rather than the OS

remote kiln
#

yes, the graphics pipeline is DX12

#

those are windows calls

vague nexus
#

yeah dx12 is windows to some degree but it's wrong to call it an os still, its a graphics library still

remote kiln
#

the scaling call is done by the OS, DX calls the OS

vague nexus
#

but the engine probably still controls the raster resolution for rendering vector images

#

regardles of what actually does the rasterization

remote kiln
#

it doesn't

white ginkgo
#

guys i’m aboard the choo choo poo poo train y’all proud?

vague nexus
#

hence why an example game, anno 1800, can do it differently using the same libraries, it has sharp text, even on 9k

remote kiln
#

if it did it would be a mess

#

accounting for 400 different combinations with granularity is extraordinarily difficult, and would be impossible to do by a game development studio handling their own rasterisation

remote kiln
#

yes, they're not part of the texture asset class

drowsy shuttle
#

Is everybody sleeping on the aks 74u or its me that im good?

white ginkgo
#

such as waking or aiming or getting out of aim

#

walking

remote kiln
#

if they were 1: the game would perform like shit

vague nexus
#

and pixel-based UI elements probably aren't rasterized at all

#

as in they're just painted on

#

in a low-level sense

remote kiln
#

yeah, it's an overlay

vague nexus
#

yeah ofc, that's why the images stay sharp

#

so it's just a problem with rendering/rasterization of 2d vector images and fonts (which are also 2d vectors)

#

and its obviously not an issue within dx itself since other games do it fine

#

so probably an engine issue

remote kiln
#

I get what you're trying to say but your wording is throwing me off

vague nexus
#

which means it either gets fixed in the next frostbite, or never will

vague nexus
remote kiln
#

no problem

vague nexus
#

but if someone takes this to a frostbite dev

#

maybe, just maybe they'll at least confirm it or deny, if it's even worth their time and there's a huge chance nobody will pay for it since, as you said, 90%+ of players are either on 1080, or sit far away enough from their 4k TV hooked to their console not to notice this

#

and then would require an engine update to a released game...

#

yeah not happening

balmy basin
#

I don't know what they did to the controls but it's giving me suicidal identations

remote kiln
#

well you got the second part of the equation with consoles

vague nexus
#

i mean you haven't noticed and you use a 1440p monitor

#

so it's just me and my OCD then

solar obsidian
#

i havent noticed either, and im here on 4k

vague nexus
#

well, good enough reason as any to not sit in the main menu and play the game instead

#

a scale slider for the HUD would be cool tho

#

and not only for this reason

balmy basin
#

Does anyone have a screenshot of the control screen from before the update?

remote kiln
#

there's a more call it sinister reason you shouldnt stay in the main menu than that oddly

vague nexus
#

really

balmy basin
#

I have no idea why in God's name they had to modify that but Jesus Christ

remote kiln
#

yes, that background you see isn't a 2D render, it's actually rendering a map in the background

vague nexus
#

of course it is

remote kiln
#

the full 3D geometry and textures on the actual game map

vague nexus
#

it's more flashy this way

remote kiln
#

tldr it eats your card's power

vague nexus
#

i was wondering if it loads a full map or just a frustrum culled part since the camera's static

vague nexus
remote kiln
#

yeah it is the full map

#

you can enter console and explore it even

vague nexus
#

oh ffs why wouldn't they cut out the part that's seen

#

that's just a waste of loading time

remote kiln
#

your guess is as good as mine

vague nexus
#

that's even more frustrating than blurry rasterization

remote kiln
#

you can enter console and enter camera freecam mode and explore it, just a waste of resources

vague nexus
#

my hobby in the future is gonna be joining companies, fixing bugs which are irritating for me but too small to be reasonable to fix when someone has to pay for it, and immediately leaving

#

i mean

#

maybe i could just

#

learn hacking, and just make a cheat that fixes this

remote kiln
#

unfortunately if you try that you'll get fired

#

both

vague nexus
#

it's how sometimes game cracks also patch certain bugs

#

becuase the crackers were too fed up waiting for devs to fix stuff

remote kiln
#

er it's rare unless the source code has been compromised

#

black box reversing is its own landmine

#

by your career? they're not too fazed

it's yours not theirs

sigh, i wish we went back to times of building software because we wanted useful stuff and not to fit into quarterly profit

#

anyway

remote kiln
#

that was probably even before your time

#

hasn't been that way in decades

my issue is fixed through finding out it's probably too deep and too minor to fix

fire team bundle, yae or nae? will i just be a glowstick..

solar obsidian
#

i mean back in times when we did not care about issues in games¨'

#

we did not have a baseline for what was good or bad

vague nexus
solar obsidian
#

we just played what was fun and what we had

remote kiln
#

what you'll find that course doesn't teach you is that someone's time isn't free, and there's a cost for everything in development

vague nexus
solar obsidian
#

i feel old

remote kiln
#

software engineers aren't millionaires, most of them aren't anyways, and their time is a resource

vague nexus
remote kiln
#

it was the very rare occasion my guy

vague nexus
#

it's not the engineer's fault but the manager's

remote kiln
#

people back then didn't make a living on what they built

#

only a select few, the ones who got popular did

#

and it's partly responsible for the landmine mess we have today because of scrappy foundations

vague nexus
#

was it worse than what we have now? what with all the microtransactions and battlepasses stuffed everywhere? and making games barely good enough for release and fixing them for 2 years after?

remote kiln
#

far worse yes

#

code was indecipherable, non documented, using what a developer wanted and nobody cared about standardisation or took the time to care

solar obsidian
#

it was ideally a 10 euro fee for all used games

remote kiln
#

as much shit as I give corporations, compared to back then it's a night and day difference

#

if we had those times now, the game wouldn't work on half of configurations period

#

and nobody would care about it either

arctic grove
#

95% of the software developed now isn't even seen by the average person

a lot of that only came into existence in the last 20~ years

vague nexus
#

"hey guys, i cracked EAC! I made an undetectable cheat that can't get you banned!"
"cool , what's it do? aimbot? esp?"
"makes text in main manu sharper!"

remote kiln
#

it's not that straightforward

#

those are actually easier than the latter

vague nexus
#

isn't it overriding some raster's dimensions

#

so like one well placed detour or even a memory substitution

remote kiln
#

no, to do that you need to inject into the pipeline before the game instantiates

vague nexus
#

well i actually have no clue what it is i'm only guessing

remote kiln
#

the hacks you're describing are in place memory changes

vague nexus
#

so i'd need to inject into dx instead of the game and possibly fuck up everything else that uses dx

remote kiln
#

mhm

#

it's an external hook, would be a mess to do without the source code

vague nexus
#

when i saw you say "webhook" i was like "what, they're pulling these icons from a webserver?"

remote kiln
#

lol 3am autocorrect

vague nexus
#

or maybe they're already rasterised and packaged with the game

#

it would be as unreasonable as it can be

#

but it would mean you just have to swap them out

remote kiln
#

they use AOT compilation

#

it's not prepackaged it depends on JIT

vague nexus
#

urr, compiled textures?

#

as in rasterized

white ginkgo
#

i just uncovered my pc ventilation top hole it had a rag on it DyingJoy im like why my shit so hot

vague nexus
#

or are we talking about code now

#

it's 4AM for me too

remote kiln
#

yes rasterised textures are not the source ones that are used by DICE

#

it would be impossible to do that

vague nexus
#

of course, but i thought the game keeps at least the vector source of the fonts

#

and not rasterized letter textures that get stitched

remote kiln
#

they do not, mostly cause it's expensive aswell

vague nexus
#

wouldn't vector be less expensive than raster images storage wise?

#

i mean depends on the amount of control points and what not

#

but i'd imagine a font would be easier to store as a vector, omitting the fact that it's a standard to store fonts this way

remote kiln
#

they're more expensive, it takes more memory to hold those source assets all the time, AOT means that you only need it on demand

vague nexus
#

so they render these texts once

#

what if they need for example a chat message

#

in the ingame chat

remote kiln
#

the chat box does use prerendered fonts, but that's because it's a tiny area of the game

mellow gull
#

Guys i bought the ultimate edition of 2042 a while ago but i still haven't received all of season 1 rewards they only gave me the angle skin from season 1

i'm not really sure how code compilation is related to textures

remote kiln
#

they only go up so much

remote kiln
vague nexus
#

yeah i probably know what you're talking about

#

but i'll refer again to the fact of the current time

#

so

i think i'm dozing off now

it's unsual to be able to disagree with someone and still come out with a common mind

especially on the internet

Are you sure? I've been able to type on ps5@remote kiln

arctic grove
#

I’m actually really liking these new camera movements during certain movement

idle lion

we are all doomed

because you have to hijack a rasterizer, make sure it does its job under new params and then let go of it before anything else breaks

they said it was for civilian use, the US military or government haven't said anything about what it houses

it isn't US airspace

anything above 45kft isn't part of a country's airspace

what people think doesn't matter

vocal zenith

also if the rumors if it containing explosives to prevent capture is true, what kind of BS civilan ballon needs explosives

arctic grove
#

??? the doj confirmed it?

remote kiln
#

they did not confirm it, there is specific wording for American airspace

vocal zenith
#

the US has final say in it regardless and they said its intruding on us airspace

remote kiln
#

they are talking about over its territory

remote kiln
#

radar signals detected it because it entered the geographical boundaries for airspace, that doesn't change that above 45k ft is not part of it

#

remember, there's 3 dimensions

arctic grove
#

6 miles is less than 45k

vocal zenith
#

even if it isnt in us airspace it still a huge red flag for the US goverment and really any goverment

it was 60k ft in the air

I’m just upset we can’t talk about the Chinese in an American chat. They won already I guess.

if china has a steath bomber that can fly at 50k feet do u think the us isnt gonna respond just because it isnt "technically" in their airspace

you can clearly see from this image that the non ballon part of this spy ballon is nearly as long as the diameter of the balloon

I hate the new fall damage changes

I've died so many times cuz of bs fall damage

Like grappling onto the renewal wall and dying after hitting the roof

Not as bad when you shoot an enemy while ads on exposure and suddenly fall off a cliff

Or jumping out the condor, opening the parachute, cutting it 2m away from the ground and dying immediately

There's so many places where you can clearly stand without falling

But you actually can't

Jumping off the cliffs on exposure is fun
