hi

how do I activate the ironman mode?

[solid bronze]

You need to make a new save slot it’s an option at the start

[daring snow]

bruhh is there ANY way to just skip a level in commander? not by doing it in multiplayer or anything, just unlocking the next one

i have spent like 3 hours tryna do voth health house its SOOO annoying for me

like I just want to outright skip it

[rich tendon]

too bad

[formal raft]

give your ai SA58 and heavy ceramic armor

[daring snow]

I’ll trust your word

[formal raft]

sa58 reliably 1 shots (tho 20rnd mag) and heavy ceramic is just good

[daring snow]

👍

Ai better be searching every room

[daring snow]

Coverage? full I assume? (For the armor)

[formal raft]

yeah

[daring snow]

alright thanks, I’ll lyk how it goes

[daring snow]

Omfg… about 30% through and this might be the only gun I’ll ever use

[green tusk]

It is not always a one hit, but it is at worst a two hit

However, mind your background. Because your bullet is going clean through your target

[daring snow]

👍

[daring snow]

omg i was literally on the BASEMENT, and one guy shot me

[hard pecan]

Day 5 of asking for official controller support~

[shadow shard]

Good luck.

[meager willow]

2 negotiator, 2 intimidator traits stacked is powerful as fuck. Everyone surrenders lmao.

2 negotiators= 50% chance increase of surrenders from compliance shouts, 2 intimidators= 100% damage to suspect morale

[solid cape]

intimidator does not increase morale damage

only chance to make suspect hesitate

which works only if suspect does not reach stress threshold

[runic aspen]

Sig Sauer Tango6T available for every weapon as attachment?

[north agate]

when playing the game my computer shits itself and throttles after abou 20 mins. does anyone else experience this? I have a AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX and laptop 4070 GPU (in other words i should be able to more than run the game)

[shadow shard]

throttles = likely very high temperatures.

[north agate]

no its like 85 degrees

p standard for gaming, i was monitering it the entire time and it never hit 90

also for some reason the laptop never stops throttling, like itll literally be cool to the touch and its still freaking out, even after closing the game. in fact it doesnt stop until i restart the computer. this may be more of a hardware issue than with the game but this literally only seems to happen with this game

[mortal trench]

im going to explod

[north agate]

85 is not high

also doesnt explain why it continues to throttle after reaching 40 and then never stops until i restart computer

[pliant briar]

is that on the gpu or the cpu?

if it's on the gpu, that's very high

[north agate]

gpu, cpu never even hits 60

[simple epoch]

is 85 on CPU ok?

[pliant briar]

nvidia gpus usually start throttling at 82C

[simple epoch]

I've had thermal issues on my CPU for a while now.

[pliant briar]

yup

[simple epoch]

that's relieving.

[pliant briar]

(but not when idling, obviously)

[simple epoch]

oh yeah, no. under very intense load.

[north agate]

ok but then why doesnt it stop once its no 82 anymore

like the computer will just continue throttling and never stop

its at 37 rn and its still freaking out

[pliant briar]

because the throttling gets more noticeable the closer you get to the max temp, and 82C happens to be the starting point of that

[mortal trench]

put your pc in the ocean

[pliant briar]

no, oil it up

[icy kiln]

Let's goooo

[icy kiln]

Said nobody ever

[pliant briar]

ratio

[tardy mist]

when you keep failing iron man mode because you swat team keeps killing you because you take them out without shouting

[shadow shard]

Treating a police game like a milsim and expecting to have no consequences. Surprising.

[pliant briar]

funfact: swat only kills you for shooting suspects if they've surrendered

[runic aspen]

Good morning my precious babies

[icy kiln]

Good morning pear.

[quick stone]

To be fair half the maps having terrorists as enemies and the other half psychos that don't even for a second hesitate to shoot you doesn't really help

[shadow shard]

True.

[paper ridge]

Is it really that hard to click f once and then instantly shoot lol

[lilac vale]

For some people yes, or because they don’t care about rules and just wanna shoot for whatever reason

[fallen sail]

Doesn't really help that shouting for compliance makes your character shake the gun like a spastic

[tardy mist]

not rlly been shot multiple times trying to do covert while the enemy is walking around

[pliant briar]

yelling doesn't do shit smh

[fallen sail]

Of course it does, it turns the ROE off

[pliant briar]

i don't know why people think it does

at least directly

[little hawk]

Swat kills you anytime you kill someone surrendered... or if you kill a civ taking pictures with their phone.

[fallen sail]

People probably think it does because it would make sense

And RON isn't good at the latter so far

[pliant briar]

RoE is as simple as "are they a threat to you or others?", except that it doesn't fucking work 90% of the time

[tardy mist]

it also does it when you kill too many enemies without pressing f lol

[little hawk]

No it doesn't

[fallen sail]

"Are they a threat?" can literally mean "Are they slowly walking through the house?"

If the AI is even slightly alerted they can be domed

[pliant briar]

being a threat means having some kind of weapon pointed at someone

[tardy mist]

explain my multiple attempts getting executed by my team for killing the enemies

[fallen sail]

They're an extreme threat when their weapon is pointed at the floor apparently

[pliant briar]

tbf it takes the ai like 1 picosecond to have that gun moved into ready position

[little hawk]

Somehow killed a civ or someone surrendered (even a suspect)

[fallen sail]

Legit if the enemy isn't completely chill or hesitating you are free to shoot even if it's through 5 walls

[tardy mist]

i dont kill any civis or anyone that surrendered. they would be walking around not noticing me. would headshot and i would get executed

[little hawk]

Overpen can be a bitch? Your team doesn't kill you for dropping a suspect unless he was already surrendered

[tardy mist]

would get warnings on comms for it too

[fallen sail]

Even though that's rarely a thing you should get penalised for that

[pliant briar]

swat won't kill you for accidentally killing civs too

[fallen sail]

Yeah, if you were just in a firefight and you fuck up SWAT AI will ignore it

[pliant briar]

it has to be on purpose, so some time after you've seen them

[little hawk]

Yeah when they're surrendered is when swat throws a fit.

[pliant briar]

they don't have to be surrendered necessarily

[little hawk]

Or phone out

[tardy mist]

has to be bug then or just killing them too fast. the warnings in comms were like talking about not to kill everyone or something along those lines. litterally on last mission killed 2 hostiles walking near beginning of the stage walked up to the crane dude walking around with a rifle(waited about 2 seconds to make sure it was a weapon) shot him and i died

[pliant briar]

with how loose the RoE is it's a literal skill issue to get ones consistently

[little hawk]

I've done speedruns with AI along with the guy who's got 1st for all AI squad runs. If that were the case we would be getting smoked. If swat killed us it's because we hit a civ or suspect surrendered.

I doubt it's a bug. I've never seen it like that

But hey shit can happena and it could be a bug or just overpen to some extent

[pliant briar]

pretty sure overpen won't make them kill you

[tardy mist]

yeah idk what happened. i guess possibly hidden enemy ai with a headshot

[fallen sail]

Oh it absolutely does

[tardy mist]

usually happened on last mission

[pliant briar]

[crude leaf]

because for some god damn reason the phone animation IS the surrender animation, you can literally just arrest them while they're doing it. Idk why they did that tbh though if you fall for the phone you are a bit of a dummy

[fallen sail]

Never forget when you were forced to watch the whole animation before arresting

[little hawk]

When you do Any% you gotta kill a civ :/ sometimes that's the first one you see and don't think anything of it till you get dropped even though he technically wasn't surrendered.

Why tf Elephant though has suspects dropping civs the second you load in 💀

[next acorn]

I HATE WHEN TEAMMATE SHOOT ME WHY IS THAT HARD CODED IN 😭

man I accidentally hit a civi cmon now

[fallen sail]

Because the SWAT AI isn't capable so they have to cheat

[next acorn]

they gotta mag dump me

[crude leaf]

they do nothing but wait for you to slip up to get an excuse to kill you

my theory is still void is made up of robots and this game is their secret petty revenge against humanity

[little hawk]

There's an easy way to avoid that.
Play solo without AI

[fallen sail]

It feels so fucking cheap, even worse that you can literally HEAR the game setting your hp to 1

[crude leaf]

hp set to 1
teammates suddenly are invincible
teammates suddenly have insane aim
What is the point?

[little hawk]

Idk to make you pay for your mistakes

[fallen sail]

It's not like

[crude leaf]

your single mistake which can be as unavoidable as slight overpenetration hitting an incapped suspects

[fallen sail]

we have an ROE penalty system or something
god forbid we use that and not make the game feel super artificial

[little hawk]

Tbh if you're a cop killing surrendered civs... I hope your buddy drops you.

[crude leaf]

but it doesnt care if you intentionally did it or not

[lament kettle]

How to buy the dlc

[crude leaf]

it literally take one mistake for them to go terminator against you in a milisecond

[crude leaf]

through steam

[fallen sail]

Yeah, maybe if they had some leniency like in the slightest

[next acorn]

they should atleast have like a margin meter

[fallen sail]

No, the milisecond the game detects a death they transform

[next acorn]

after a civi kill, they gonna yell at you or smt

and second mistake they dome you makes more sense

[little hawk]

Or after mission TOC bends you over his knee and spanks you

[crude leaf]

yeah
the bare minimum should be a 2 or 3 strike system

[fallen sail]

And no cheap ass invincibility

[next acorn]

FOR REAL

[crude leaf]

he shows you his PC (plate carrier) he owns

[fallen sail]

don't

[crude leaf]

can you even TK the bots at all?

[next acorn]

I wanna fight them if they decide I will die

[fallen sail]

you can TK 1 before they become invulnerable

[little hawk]

Yes

[next acorn]

only once, once they turn on you, they are invincible

[fallen sail]

Or you can TK them by getting shot at while you do it

[crude leaf]

its just so funny to command a team to hold a hallway just to have them killed by a suspect rushing in because they just refuse to shoot properly
but then you make a teeny tiny mistake and they suddenly are gods

will never forget when the game would count bleedouts as player kills, so I arrested a suspect bleeding and when he died my teammates instantly executed me on the spot

[fallen sail]

SWAT ai staring at me getting ventilated : i sleep
SWAT ai when i accidentally kill a civilian on the other side of the map through the wall : REAL SHIT

[crude leaf]

I actually kinda miss the swat ai running in to cover you in swat 3, even if they were super aggressive with it they actually seemed to care about you

they were the real gang

[fallen sail]

Even if they had their own issues (some of which are still in RON) i'd say they're still more technically impressive

[tired root]

guy, i dont know if iam stupid but, i need an tutorial to how to use the balaclava in ready or not i cant find the cosmetic

pls somebody 😭

[little hawk]

Multiplayer only, go to your character and swap models to the ones that say "Echo"

In customization

[next acorn]

I HATE WHEN MY TEAM GO RESTRAIN SOME DUDE AND LEAVE ME ALONE ToT

[rigid bone]

You ain't stupid, it's just a little weird

[next acorn]

can you make it less wierdd?

[solid bronze]

Just win your ones. It’s better than someone getting back up and shooting you in the back

[next acorn]

or add balaclava is the eyewear since it is technically all rigged

[next acorn]

tru-

[little hawk]

When female operators...

[rigid bone]

But then if you throw it in that slot, you can't equip any other eyewear

[little hawk]

Yes you can?

[fallen sail]

Nnnno?

[little hawk]

You can't put glasses on?

[fallen sail]

All we can do is hope they add a new slot for balaclavas and that they rig it for every head

[little hawk]

Ohhh nvm read that wrong

Like I was about to say explain my PFP lol

[fallen sail]

If you put it in the eyewear slot it'll be eyewear and you can only have one at a time

[rigid bone]

[fallen sail]

Now let's talk about the real issue which is when do we get to equip the ballistic mask on the suspects

[little hawk]

I'm still on 1st cup of coffee

[little hawk]

I'd rather vomit

[next acorn]

better than unable to use it outside multiplayer:3

[rigid bone]

I haven't gotten my coffee yet

[pliant briar]

coffee addiction is a terrible disease

[little hawk]

Better than energy drinks... I usually drink a monster once a day sometimes 2 but I'm trying to stop that.

[rigid bone]

Correct

[mental aspen]

You can kinda get it on single player, it’s inconsistent but using it in mp on and off and on and then restarting game has gotten it to stay in commander mode for me

[little hawk]

Zero sugar monster still is quite bad for you

[rigid bone]

But at least I don't smoke anything and I'm not addicted to anything other then caffeine

[little hawk]

Oh boy wish I could say the same 🙄

[rigid bone]

Worse for you, actually. All those artificial sweeteners are pretty damn bad except for maybe stevia, but there's still some issues with that too

[solid ginkgo]

help the mod: in game menu doesnt work for me pls any tips

[little hawk]

They taste so good tho

[quick stone]

Define not working

[solid ginkgo]

whhy

[pliant briar]

since when are they bad?

[rigid bone]

Since ever?

[pliant briar]

are you sure it's not an american moment?

[next acorn]

what role are you employed in Void>

[mental aspen]

Why do you think sugarless drinks aren’t healthy still

They have fuck all in them but sweeteners

[next acorn]

I'm also a game dev but I work in like this nameless company and I really wanna start doing indie stuff

[rigid bone]

I'm their community manager

[pliant briar]

maybe because it's not the sugar that makes them "unhealthy"

[next acorn]

hel yea

[mental aspen]

it’s… the sweeteners… that was my point…

[rigid bone]

Well no

It's not JUST the sweeteners

[pliant briar]

which sweeteners exactly?

[rigid bone]

When talking about how sodas are bad, it's also stuff like the stabilizers, certain dyes, and the acids

[pliant briar]

ah yes, double stabilization

[rigid bone]

Oops

[pliant briar]

[solid ginkgo]

help the mod: in game menu doesnt work for me pls any tips

[pliant briar]

i also forgot to reply to that; whataboutism is a bit weird in this context. both are bad and you should avoid them

[pliant briar]

best tip: use common sense and read descriptions

tl;dr it won't work with the recent update

[solid ginkgo]

OO OKAY THX

[little hawk]

You're in a general discussion my guy

[pliant briar]

i also find "i'm trying to stop that" a bit weird too. can't you just stop buying them?

[mortal trench]

I'd kill for one rn

[rigid bone]

Addiction is a motherfucker

[little hawk]

I can? It's the convenience of it that really helps

[mortal trench]

daily energy drinks fucked up my sleep hormones once, but they are just so addictive

[little hawk]

And also that lmao.

[pliant briar]

i somehow never experienced addiction
-# sorry for the ping

[mortal trench]

banned for pinging

[pliant briar]

pong

[rigid bone]

correct

banned

[little hawk]

Energy drink wakes me up but I have to drink 3 cups or more coffee to feel the same. I don't know what your day to day life looks like but when I'm busy as hell I need to stay awake and alert.

[pliant briar]

sleeping 7-8 hours helps with that

[little hawk]

For you maybe

[rigid bone]

Imagine benefiting from sleep

[mortal trench]

they are ok in low doses just like almost everything toxic except drugs and there is sadly no real known correlation rather just associations

[pliant briar]

you would be surprised how much a good sleep can improve your life

[little hawk]

Imagine sleeping 8 hours and still feeling tired as fuck. You've never worked your ass off the day before and felt it the next day even after sleeping 8 hours? Totally can't happen right?

[mortal trench]

yeah you age slower ^-^

[pliant briar]

depends if you slept that 8 hours once this week or every day

something something sleep debt

[mortal trench]

also depends how well you slept

and if you went thru all sleep phases correctly

[little hawk]

Damn just bad at life I guess. You got it all figured out.

[pliant briar]

i mean you have a plenty of years to improve stuff

unless you end up with cancer in your 20s

[little hawk]

I'm almost in my 30s😅

So hopefully not

[rigid bone]

It's fine Hustler, they just don't get the struggle of getting all the hours but none of the benefit

[mortal trench]

damn you gonna unlock your 2nd chronic condition soon

[pliant briar]

what does that even mean

[pliant briar]

they nerfed me hard enough with starting perks :P

[little hawk]

They put the points in other shit

[mortal trench]

fnv traits with negative effects moment

[pliant briar]

i chose to play lore accurate courier with all perks unlocked so can't relate :-(

[rigid bone]

At minimum we do have the inordinate amount of damage that the citric and phosphoric acid do to enamel and stomach lining, and the water retention qualities of sucralose/aspertame once they get into the body fat

[mortal trench]

true but you have to consume like a lot over a long time period to do real permanent damage to your body

[pliant briar]

any comment on 150g of maltodextrine a day?

[pliant briar]

which would be hard to do with how sweet it is

[mortal trench]

ngl I'd avoid sugar more over artificial sweeteners considering sugars let you age faster

[rigid bone]

you mean my first 20-odd years

[mortal trench]

I could do it, but the diabetes is real

[rigid bone]

You clearly underestimate American Southerners

That is also not a joke.

[mortal trench]

[pliant briar]

endurance sports would like a word with you

[little hawk]

The sweet tea is too fucking sweet

I actually wanna taste the tea part

[pliant briar]

i would blame corn syrup

[mortal trench]

the endurance sport isn't gonna completely stop the excessive glycation caused by blood sugar level spikes, but yeah generally true

[pliant briar]

all i know about sugar is that it tends to bloat your face

[mortal trench]

it's so funni to me how they named the toxic bad stuff for your skin AGEs

[pliant briar]

but from a quick search it seems pretty much anything can bloat your face

so the solution is to become an alcoholic, a heavy smoker and something else just for the lols

[mortal trench]

yus

for funsies

[rigid bone]

It's a matter of how quick some bits do it and what else they do while they're at it

[pliant briar]

and remember to always have a refreshing cigarette after cardio

[cinder iron]

does anyone know how to fix "Host closed the connection"?
Already asked in #💻tech-support , no response ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pliant briar]

i would assume sodium is the biggest culprit

[pliant briar]

ask the host to not close the connection :P

[cinder iron]

already tried, still being closed 😩

[little hawk]

Cigarettes are fucking nasty 🤢

[pliant briar]

and they directly affect people around the smoker

(i mean alcohol does as well, but it's not physical health related)

[mortal trench]

real

[pliant briar]

addiction is a skill issue ngl

just stop smh

[little hawk]

Actually not wrong really (about stopping)

[pliant briar]

or rather don't start

[mortal trench]

incredibly cringe you being ableist while I remember you calling out others for it

[slate imp]

Question what is OCE?

[pliant briar]

last time i checked addiction wasn't a disability

[mental dune]

whats the latest from void been?

[pliant briar]

oceania

[mortal trench]

damn even doubling down on such a shit take is crazy

[slate imp]

Ah ok thanks

[mortal trench]

wdym?

[rigid bone]

That is actually provably incorrect, in the US, the ADA considers most forms of addiction a disability.

[pliant briar]

what??? i genuinely don't understand what's the problem. are you saying addiction is a disability? genuine question

[rigid bone]

The EU also considers it the same, but they also have their own specific considerations on what forms of addicitons are and are not a disability

[mortal trench]

trippling down whoa

[slate imp]

I too have the same question

[pliant briar]

true, but still i don't think it really fits with ableism. after all it's a disability someone willingly put themselves into

[mortal trench]

how you you know, this gets more and more crazy <- ableism

[pliant briar]

in 99% cases you aren't forced to become an addict

[mortal trench]

ok guess it's a skill issue then to not stop <- ableism

[rigid bone]

[pliant briar]

definitely would help if you were a bit more open to discussion

[mortal trench]

wdym I'm just telling you that what you said is just plain up a prejiduce and offensive to people who suffer from physical and mental addictions, while I remember you also calling out other people for such language, I'm just showing you the mirror in this case, I'm not trying to win a fight here or smth

[rigid bone]

Niv, you're the one being obstinant here

[pliant briar]

i have several reasons to despise alcoholics and smokers, yes. however i'm not sure how that makes me an ableist in this context (i would consider myself an ableist btw)

[pliant briar]

because i don't understand what's the problem and i don't see much effort to guide me what's wrong in my thinking (other than from you)

[hazy dew]

I love discord mobile and its bugs...

[rigid bone]

Except lina is trying, the point is that your view of addiction is far smaller than what's being referred to in this conversation.
You're putting the conversation in a much smaller box than what's being referred to and then getting defensive when you're being told that it's wrong and offensive

[sinful forge]

I feel like a disability is anything that limits a persons ability to function independently without some sort of aid or intervention.

[rigid bone]

Addiction is a massive and far reaching issue and the idea that addiction isn't a choice is, in many cases, provably false

[shadow shard]

If we're being pedantic then everyone is disabled because they need money to function in life.

[hazy dew]

New types of addictions form ever so often too.

Like social media addictions, video game addictions, adult content addictions, etc.

[pliant briar]

that's all a variant of dopamine addiction btw

[rigid bone]

Less pedantic, more reductive

[hazy dew]

Still pretty harmful no less

[pliant briar]

damn even doubling down on such a shit take is crazy

trippling down whoa

how you you know, this gets more and more crazy <- ableism

ok guess it's a skill issue then to not stop <- ableism
does that count as trying? as i see it it sounds more like "you're wrong lmao" with no explanation (just to be clear i eventually got a proper response which im thankful for)

[finite sapphire]

Well, they recently closed the thread about the game freezing so nothing

Where are they going to announce how the progress of the fix is ​​going? And where is it announced when patch 3 is coming out?

[fallen sail]

[rigid bone]

When a tone like this is taken, it's often interpreted as someone that doesn't want to argue, only be right. Your current willingness to be corrected by me is also, based on your previous behavior, is only capitulation to a position of authority

[shadow shard]

Ehhh, probably.

[pliant briar]

for future reference im always open to discussion as long as my vocabulary doesn't shit itself

[mortal trench]

The problem is that you did frame addiction as something that can be "easily stopped" and is merely an "issue of mental resilience" which is ableist. The whole thing in general was just disrespectful to mentally and physically sick people regarding addictions, we don't treat sick people with disrespect, prejudices or bad intentions. Devaluing people with such issues by using such ableistic language doesn't, and the reason why I mentioned it, is because I remember you being here particularly in discomfort or distaste of others being ableistic about certain topics.

[hushed wasp]

im addicted to this game help

[hazy dew]

Do you think social media addiction will have lasting impacts on society as a whole?

[mortal trench]

it already does

[rigid bone]

We haven't quite yet announced when Patch 3 is coming yet and both Alan and I will still be making our presence known and deliver information when we can.

On the note of updates, we're unfortunately at the stage of there just being a massive lurch from 'we're working on it' to 'here's the patch' with almost no mid point.

[hazy dew]

Do you think it can ever be fixed or its already too far gone?

[pliant briar]

but yeah, from my point of view alone addiction is a skill issue because i can just stop doing something, which may not be the case for other people (im not that clueless), so it might've sounded like seeking some form of attention with a "controversial" statement

[mortal trench]

realisticly speaking, no, I don't think so, our free will and speech ensures that it'll stay, but i do think we can help people with issues arised by social media and even prevent them, I just don't know how I'm obivously not an expert on that topic

[pliant briar]

but at the end of the day how well you can handle addictions is a skill (so you can indeed have issues with it)

[rigid bone]

The problem with that statement is that it is ablest at its' core from someone that's, self admittedly, never fallen under a chemical of psychological addiction of some sort.

[pliant briar]

as long as social media promotes being fake (so lying basically) it's never going to get better

[mortal trench]

societal pressure and beauty standards are another issue regarding that

[mortal trench]

then you could say the same about someone having a learning disability without it being ableist, which is obviously wrong, being born with certain traits and genetics isn't a skill

[hazy dew]

I think for the youth it'll have devastating effects on them for life. Mostly psychological and emotional effects. And with how free speech is going on these platforms, some physical effects. While it may seem, authoritarian and thought policing, I don't think kids should be allowed to have access to such platforms.

[mortal trench]

one of them being an influx in depression, which we are not ready for

[pliant briar]

funfact: if you make something inaccessible, people will try to find their way in anyway

[hazy dew]

Depression, anxiety. More gateways to harder addictions

[mortal trench]

yup it's pretty counter-effective to ban certain things that you can't police

[pliant briar]

sweeping the ugly truth behind a carpet rarely solves anything, education does however

[rigid bone]

Not even counting the socio-economic modifiers depending on where or how someone lives, making certain thing even worse on the youth psychie

[open salmon]

does anyone know a good graphic card to handle the game ?

[hazy dew]

I think that's probably the hardest part about social media and its problems. Its just too heavily intertwined with how we socialize as people

[hazy dew]

It runs well on a 6950xt lol

[pliant briar]

1050ti

[open salmon]

cuz i have a radeon 580 and the game lags alot

[hazy dew]

Oof

Time to upgrade fren

[open salmon]

is the nvidia rtx 3050 good ?

[rigid bone]

That's a bit of an ancient card, yeah

[hazy dew]

What's ur budget?

[rigid bone]

I'd at least climb to the 3060 if you can afford it

[open salmon]

200$ im saving for a motorcycle

[pliant briar]

i might throw myself under a bus again, but learning disability is something you're born with and learning is something you can't really skip in modern society, while you can skip trying substances that are addictive

[mortal trench]

and I got born with a higher probability of getting addicted

[open salmon]

is radeon rx 6650 good?

[hazy dew]

I'd uh keep saving up

[open salmon]

😔

[rigid bone]

You can try and nab a used 3060 off Ebay, most used cards are perfectly fine'

[jade elbow]

hey guys

[mortal trench]

also I think it's still wrong to throw people who need help with their addictions away like that, it'll just cause more problems

[open salmon]

dual overclock?

[pliant briar]

technically i did too, at least looking at the adhd stats (just a funfact, unrelated and not trying to prove anything). are you saying addiction is something that just happens even if you don't want to (provided that you're well educated that drugs are bad for you and that you should be aware that peer pressure can be a bitch) and i should be more understanding?

looking at the thing you just wrote it appears so

[rigid bone]

dual is talking about fans, OC is a seperate thing

[hazy dew]

In the example of drugs, drug education didn't help. Look at the failed dare program.

[pliant briar]

i mean i can't disagree with that (that they shouldn't get ignored), unfortunately my personal experience really struggles to feel bad for addicts

[rigid bone]

Here you go @open salmon

[mortal trench]

yes you still can get addicted without the will to

[rigid bone]

Fits right in under your budget as long as shipping doesn't kill you

[mortal trench]

but still then, if somehow got addicted by sheer will and wants help, they should get it instead of being made fun of

[open salmon]

i was trying to buy it off amazon or best buy

[hazy dew]

Will amd ever get raytracing down? XD

[pliant briar]

they already do

[hazy dew]

No I mean real raytracing. Not... What it currently is, or did it get better with the 7900xtx?

[pliant briar]

if the rays are traced back it is raytracing smh

[pliant briar]

depends on the way that person perceives their addiction (or if they even acknowledge it)

[mortal trench]

people who desire help should always get it, at the end it's still their body tho and they can do whatever they want

[hazy dew]

Maybe nvidia really is the better card if you can afford them.

[mental dune]

just wonding what the latest is from the devs

[mortal trench]

anyways we are moving away from the og thing and I kinda have to do things now

[pliant briar]

i guess me saying that i despise addicts was way too generalized as it only applies to people who are aware of it and chose to don't a shit about it

[void tide]

K2DJD-2M7D7-M499C-HDDJ3-WRDPZ

pc gamepass

[pliant briar]

as long as it doesn't affect others* i assume(?)

[rigid bone]

Unfortunately the latest really hasn't changed from the last time we talked about it.

The team is doing what they can, as fast as they can, and as soon as a fix is coming it'll be announced.

[mortal trench]

a murderer who murdered, because of their addiction should still receive help

[fast belfry]

https://x.com/TOGAjano21/status/1825897217338507314?t=eZOz1GpqFuwoIm9gLzRwGA&s=33

[jade elbow]

to be fair not a lot of people use raytracing so it's not a rush

[mortal trench]

or a drunk guy beating others etc. you hopefully get the gist

[mortal trench]

that's basically how you prevent further issues for both parties

[pliant briar]

i meant "they can do whatever they want [as long as it doesn't affect others]"

[runic aspen]

Its within a percentage performance difference to NVIDIA
plus their overall + raster performance for price is better

[hazy dew]

I just want fancy pixels at an affordable price 🥺

[jade elbow]

AMD is more affordable overall for performance

[hazy dew]

Also playing higher than 1080p is kinda ass ngl

[mortal trench]

yeah you can't own or decide over someone elses body, except for in some certain conditions like a coma, being braindead etc.

[jade elbow]

yep

[hazy dew]

I play my games at 1440p@144hz ultra

Toasty pc

[pliant briar]

reminds me of parents showing their kids online for some reason

[jade elbow]

however I will say likely at some point they will get it down

[mortal trench]

yup and I think it's pretty wrong

[hazy dew]

For me personally only pro that I like about amd is the Linux support

[pliant briar]

nvidia supports linux as well btw

[mortal trench]

the support is really bad btw

luckily they want to open source the kernel modules

[jade elbow]

ah yes Linux my nightmares

[pliant briar]

amd just happens to be more open source, which is less complicated for linking, bundling and other FOSS shenanigans

[hazy dew]

Not that well at all.

[pliant briar]

i would argue it's better than some distro's kernel updates

[hazy dew]

I still get nightmares trying to use nvidia in linux

[jade elbow]

lol

Linux overall can be a nightmare

[mortal trench]

gpu pipeline nerd cute ^-^

[hazy dew]

Depends on the use really, if you're tryna use it to replace windows for normal stuff its fine. Gaming is alright

[pliant briar]

amd is only cheaper if you don't value your time

[jade elbow]

well...

[hazy dew]

But when you want to do the more fun Linux stuff how well the GPU support is, matters.

If you use Debian or Ubuntu its whatever tho

[pliant briar]

i wouldn't trust ubuntu with anything graphics related

[jade elbow]

my next upgrade I will likely switch to AMD CPU and GPU at least on my gaming pc

[hazy dew]

The ryzen 9s get really hot ngl

[jade elbow]

better then intel issues rn

[pliant briar]

all ryzens since zen 3 get really hot btw

[hazy dew]

Ryzen 7s don't get that hot, I've tried up to 5700x tho

Haven't touched the newer ones yet

I'm probably not gonna upgrade for awhile tho

[jade elbow]

I plan on have two pc's

[hazy dew]

Ddr5 system? Or still ddr4?

[pliant briar]

i have two currently as well, but that's because i can't be bothered to sell the old one

[rich tendon]

hi niv

[pliant briar]

hi vivi

[hazy dew]

I need another PC lol

[jade elbow]

well will have to be both DRR5

[hazy dew]

I gotta stop running stuff on my gaming PC with VMs

[jade elbow]

Gaming and workstation

[pliant briar]

anyway, what would be the reason to have two pcs (for a single person) outside of like very specific scenarios where you need low latency?

[hazy dew]

Homelab stuff

[rich tendon]

rich

[hazy dew]

Better to run server stuff on not a gaming PC xD

You don't need a ton of money to get another PC unless you want a workstation

Cheapest prob 45$ for a mini PC with like 8gb of ram 4 cores

[pliant briar]

definitely would be cheaper to buy more ram and a cpu with more cores

[jade elbow]

I am likely going to spend up to 10K for both systems

[hazy dew]

Ehh not really going beyond 32gb of ram is costly when comparing it to just buying a cheap dell

[rich tendon]

chat is this guy just flexing at this point

[hazy dew]

Threadripper or Xeon?

[jade elbow]

Threadripper

[pliant briar]

that cheap dell will also be slow as fuck and isn't even going to support windows 11

[mortal trench]

[hazy dew]

You wouldn't run win11

[hazy dew]

Sweet

[modest fern]

I want to downgrade from win 11

[hazy dew]

I probably will this week honestly

[modest fern]

My laptop has so many issues it didn’t have with 10

[mortal trench]

linux ^-^

[pliant briar]

crazy to think that it's the opposite for me

[modest fern]

https://tenor.com/view/linux-computer-meme-gif-22925980

[hazy dew]

Or win servers if you like pain xD

[pliant briar]

a clean install of win 10 was already having problems for me

[hazy dew]

I just use windows 10 ltsc

The only good windows version.

[pliant briar]

no such thing with win 11 outside of the microsoft account requirement (i hate the username being first 5 characters of my email)

[runic aspen]

lmao u dk the workaround u dumbass

[hazy dew]

Oof

[runic aspen]

STOOOOPIDDDDDD LLLLLLLLLL
POINT AND LAUGH

[hazy dew]

What Linux distro do you like

[pliant briar]

i do, but having to workaround that is a problem nonetheless

[hazy dew]

Its extra steps lol

[runic aspen]

me when 5 second typing command

[pliant briar]

correct

[hazy dew]

Lol nerd you have to use command prompt

[runic aspen]

i bet ur bluffing

[hazy dew]

I just modify the installer

[mortal trench]

I don't use any, waiting on my laptop warranty to expire and then prob setting up arch or nix

[pliant briar]

at the time i actually used the [e-mail] method

[hazy dew]

Is it a work laptop?

[pliant briar]

they patched it apparently :-(

[hazy dew]

Why would you need to wait for warranty to expire?

[jade elbow]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zKyrdH

[mortal trench]

I used it for school back then, but atm just for coding when I want to sit outside or watch vids

[pliant briar]

^

[modest fern]

I did a factory reset on the mf and the issues didn’t go away

[rigid bone]

why the double fuck are there three 3090s on that parts list?

also

Paying for Windows

[mortal trench]

cuz warranty expires when messing with it's os installation

[modest fern]

Three copies of RoN at the same time

[hazy dew]

Man's on a mission lol

[runic aspen]

lmao as an official discord ur meant to ban piracy

[hazy dew]

Oh I did not know that I buy used

[runic aspen]

but i fw this behaviour
goodjob roncord

[pliant briar]

no piracy is needed to activate windows

[runic aspen]

nerds would say you need to activate by buying from msoft

[rigid bone]

It's not piracy if I install windows and choose to never activate it

[jade elbow]

lol I do VFX work

[rigid bone]

[solid bronze]

Or pay $20 for a windows activation key. $200 for windows 11 is fucking insanity

[runic aspen]

homeless behaviour

[hazy dew]

3 copies of ue5 at the same time

[runic aspen]

microsoft activation script 🙏

[hazy dew]

Let's gooo

[pliant briar]

just fyi buying an illegal key is worse than just activating it for free

[runic aspen]

Thats a clown activity

[hazy dew]

I miss the days when you could use the same key

[solid bronze]

And why would it be illegal?

[runic aspen]

because piracy

[jade elbow]

mmmmmmm

[solid bronze]

Also I can’t imagine the fbi kicking down my door for a cheap windows key

[mortal trench]

lmao I remember that time

[runic aspen]

nah
nobody cares

[modest fern]

Soon™️

[hazy dew]

Daniel could also run 3 installtions of windows with 3 gpus

[pliant briar]

because their tos forbids key reselling

[solid bronze]

Ahh. Well, that’s not my problem it doesn’t forbid key buying

[mortal trench]

there are 3 feds in chat rn you better start running now

[solid bronze]

Oh no

it happened in poland, but it was the police :P

[rigid bone]

You get more bang for your buck running 2x 4090s instead of NVlinking 3 3090s

[jade elbow]

also that would be 72 GBs of VRAM lol

[hazy dew]

Why run 2 4090s when you can run 10 980s

[rigid bone]

You also can't use all that VRAM at the same time with the current build

[jade elbow]

I need SLI for something

[solid bronze]

Link?

[hazy dew]

Are you building a robot? Lol

[rigid bone]

also-also, you don't want to use just one 42tb drive

[jade elbow]

no

[rigid bone]

you need RAID for data protection

Even moreso as a creator

[modest fern]

Raid shadow legends

[hazy dew]

Maybe he will buy multiple 42tb drives.

[jade elbow]

my buddy has four 4090s

[rigid bone]

[hazy dew]

Is he making movies? Tf

[rigid bone]

That is literally more money then sense

[hazy dew]

Or is he a data sci guy?

[jade elbow]

I mean yes and no

[hazy dew]

Is... Is he using them to over throw the human race with ai?

[pliant briar]

it's just a common knowledge here, they can visit you for some questions, because you literally bought an illegal key. they won't do anything to you obviously, but they will to the seller

Home invasion? RoN reference?

[hazy dew]

Lmfao

[solid bronze]

No real home invasion

[pliant briar]

makes sense, my condolences

[hazy dew]

New map?

[jade elbow]

he has spent 80K for one rocket launch coverage which is upcoming

[solid bronze]

Smh

[hazy dew]

We are but peasants.

[hazy dew]

I'm guessing he makes 200k off that coverage?

[pliant briar]

cycling be like

[jade elbow]

Nope

[hazy dew]

So he spent 80k for fun?

[pliant briar]

mfs will spend hundreds for 20g weight reduction

[kind raven]

wait you werent joking

[jade elbow]

yeah bc we don't make any money

[jade elbow]

no I wasn't

[hazy dew]

Time to sell my kidneys

[pliant briar]

you can always grow more kidneys, trust me

[hazy dew]

Honestly we should be allowed to sell our organs

[kind raven]

I see you work in animation ? What programs you use ?

[jade elbow]

I would send what we are working on but no self promo

[jade elbow]

blender rn making the jump to C4D

any way I can input some feedback for the game?

[rigid bone]

We do look at #📩feedback-reports-channel

[mental dune]

how are you doing Kaminsky

been a while since i have actally stoped in here

[rigid bone]

Keeping busy

[mental dune]

thats good to hear, I spet the better half of the last week working on bring back the tac700

[rigid bone]

So your deep dive into performance has led you to bringing back old guns?

[rich tendon]

full auto mode?

[rigid bone]

That's actually pretty funny

[nocturne steeple]

wtf a civilian died just because

[mental dune]

I wasnt doing a deep dive into preformance. But i always liked the tac 700 and felt it shouldnt of been removed

[mental dune]

hell yeah. actually faster fireing then before

cant seem to fix its reload that might be beyond me at this stage

[rich tendon]

huge

[mental dune]

I was also able to fix its hud icon on the bottom of the screen

[eternal wind]

how come my mods wont work

[hazy dew]

Mod.io?

[eternal wind]

yes

[hazy dew]

Mod.io kinda bad rn never worked for me with this new update

[eternal wind]

what do u recommend

[hazy dew]

I just ended up installing it manually

Its super easy too

[eternal wind]

what do u use to find the mods

[hazy dew]

Nexusmods

[eternal wind]

okay thank you

[modest fern]

When you say up to date, what day do you mean

[hazy dew]

why is polsci so boring to read...

[gaunt holly]

Nexus mod. It's not as easy as mod.io but it's not hard by any means either

Oops lag. Super late

[hazy dew]

kaminsky do you have a favorite mod?

[lilac vale]

yes, himself

[hazy dew]

i meant in the game lol

[modest fern]

A favorite moderator

[lilac vale]

You are my number 6 moderator

Nah, they're cool.

[rigid bone]

[rigid bone]

the old ODST and Combine vocoder mods were my favorites

Twitter · Aug 20, 2024, 8:31 PM

Huh.

[simple epoch]

Teaser went hard.

[carmine tiger]

Are they're any Ingame booster perks?

[lilac vale]

Then uh get Blue to help, he doesn't do much right?

[rigid bone]

Nope. Though I'm not sure if any game has those tbh

[carmine tiger]

Some do

[plucky dirge]

Set in early fascist italy, definitely a interesting pick

[simple epoch]

Back to the roots. Hyped to see how it turns out

[swift mist]

politicial science?

[plucky dirge]

From what ive seen, the ingame pictures show some of the same areas that were from the first mission in mafia 2

Where Vito is fighting in Sicily

[simple epoch]

My thoughts exactly

[rigid bone]

Just years earlier, so post WW1-pre WW2

[twilit ridge]

Anyone else getting the notification "Thank you for buying the DLC" beside not having bought it?

[rigid bone]

hopefully the game is based off of Mafia 3s engine but plays like Mafia 2

[rigid bone]

It's a known bug atm

[twilit ridge]

Ahh I see

[plucky dirge]

Yeah, from pictures there's flags and it is Mussolini's Italy

Very interested to how the game turns out

[swift mist]

what is commander in singleplayer?

[rigid bone]

It's the 'campeign' mode where your team gains perks and can be perminantly lost if they die

[swift mist]

got it

i hope they add the possibility of having more players / more fire teams

that would make it very interesting

[hazy dew]

Yea

[gaunt holly]

Just a hypothetical

[green tusk]

Then use the hypothetical solution

[median zinc]

Wym?

[abstract lynx]

And unbalanced🤝

[abstract lynx]

He wants perks for boosting a discord server

[gaunt holly]

You get a golden star next to your name. It's great

[median zinc]

Not necessarily, if game is designed for it, there's multiple missions that are supposed to be joint operations with lspd and federal police, so could totally be worked in

[abstract lynx]

Imagine the development that has to take place to cook something like this

[waxen latch]

The way to approach discord disputes its through a very long but proper process where both sides get a listen. After looking into the matter, the solution is murder.

[abstract lynx]

Would be cool, ngl, but too resource and time consuming

[median zinc]

It's not really any more than adding a new map in general, which they then can just let you choose to play as a different fire team if done in single player to make it worth it

Different versions of the same maps were around in alpha and beta

Hardly a stretch to do it again

[abstract lynx]

Those maps were too small

The problem is adding the mechanics of two teams in one game. This would be difficult

Only port Hokan is more or less good enough in terms of size rn

[frail slate]

port is way too big imo

[abstract lynx]

Das why you can put 2 teams there

[frail slate]

can't even make use of the 1-4x sights to make it more bereable to find people in advance

[median zinc]

I'm saying make it new dlc maps not a free update

[abstract lynx]

Good idea then

Ready or Not community is obviously able to pay

Since they've got the game in the first place

[frail slate]

narcos and lawmakers were a great addition to the map pool

idk if i like dorms or not

[median zinc]

In typical game dev fashion I'm sure they'll be releasing more dlc rather than fixing their current game first anyhow

[abstract lynx]

Pretty much true i guess

[gaunt holly]

🧐📝 🫵🤓

[red jay]

yap them into submission

[rigid bone]

It ends up being a lot of work though, balancing everything to work properly with multiple friendly teams, expanding the UI, stuff like that.

[scenic lotus]

I'd love to see larger maps, like the Los Suenos airport or something similar. It would also be great to see other task forces on older or newer maps, which are discussed in briefings (with different entrances - each entrance has its own task force). Overall, I really enjoy the game. Adding a few mods has made it even more beautiful.

[rigid bone]

Considering who works on what currently, both are happening at the same time. Our art and 3d teams are working on DLC 2 while the programming team is working on fixing it, may time different between producing new content and fixing old problems is due to how easy it is to make new stuff as opposed to how hard it is to fix old things.

Not to mention that with games ran by corpo' studios, the development team might just not be allocated enough resources to even fix problems

-and when the guy that signs your checks says 'Don't fix that, make me new content to generate more money' you really can't argue with him.

[gaunt holly]

Please fix the optics 🙏

They've been broken since launch

[rigid bone]

the LPVOs or the dots?

Cause both are on the list.

[pliant briar]

don't big american airports have dedicated swat teams on site?

it would need a better voice chat / radio system and more maps obvs

me when I'm trying to identify, adjust to, and accurately fire at a suspect through a pinhole

[pliant briar]

well, LAX certainly does

[gaunt holly]

Yes

[pliant briar]

and yet no flashlight+laser combo smh

[scenic lotus]

oh, also sometimes flashlights work like lasers, but this is a little different)
at the moment, I have found a solution when restarting the weapon settings menu

[simple turret]

real. game needs airport and bank map

[rigid bone]

Unironically had a guy try to argue that with me on my first round and VOIDs CM.
His point was "They're already working on the game, just teach them how to work on the engine, it can't be that hard!"

Ended up banning him cause he was pinging Devs and calling them lazy mid-convo

[simple turret]

least unhinged ron player

[abstract lynx]

That's the problem

[pliant briar]

if you can't learn c++ and unreal engine garbage in a weekend you're lazy

[simple turret]

get on that grindset

[gaunt holly]

Average discord conversation. You're not having a discussion on discord if you're not insulting the other person

[red jay]

I can't believe that Void is still producing content while [x feature, separate from things like more maps] is still being worked on!!!!!!!!!!!!

[red jay]

why yes we should lay off all the map developers until the rest of the game has caught up plz and thanks

[rigid bone]

[quaint nebula]

like absolutly easy i mean programmer is programmer /j

[gaunt holly]

[frail slate]

just the time alone it takes for unreal to open is already a nightmare to sit through, can't imagine using it fighting it into a workable game

[green tusk]

Unreal is designed for workstation hardware, aka many threads and high ram

Which not every gaming computer has

[quaint nebula]

shitty pc or what?

[lilac vale]

The best dev response is Ali on reddit when dude wrote a essay about how the game sucks and devs should fix it. And my man Ali just hit them with the 'ok'

[frail slate]

you never opened unreal engine?

that shit takes like 5 to 10 minutes to open shit out of the box

[quaint nebula]

i did, i've no problems

[green tusk]

It does stop making shaders, etc. once you open enough. So it gets faster

[pliant briar]

i mean if someone says the game sucks and the devs should fix it responding with "ok" seems reasonable, because it's true

[scenic lotus]

hmm, if I were a person who introduces new ideas for developers, I would experiment with extensive multiplayer, as some French developers did in a project about agents in the post-apocalypse (who understood, he understood). The bottom line is that you have one group of 4-5 people for one mission with several subtasks. BUT - let's say the mission is located in a larger area, where there are more opponents, more various kinds of evidence and, in general, there are many difficult-to-clean points that simply cannot be passed by a small group. That's when you need two subgroups of 5 people - the mode is fun, but in this mode there are problems with the selection of people online)

[frail slate]

when I used it I did have a weaker pc, but still seems a annoyingly slow

[lilac vale]

that was the whole joke with the 'ok'

[pliant briar]

ok

[quaint nebula]

it's fast enough to work with it on my 5900x

[rigid bone]

Ali gives so few fucks, he's powerful

[lilac vale]

dude is lead programmer, he's the chad

[pliant briar]

why doesn't unreal engine load in 5 seconds on my core 2 duo

[quaint nebula]

idk it works on my good old pentium x86

i think u should upgrade to a amd fx maybe it works better then

[pliant briar]

not the best position to be in given the state of the game

[lilac vale]

ok

[pliant briar]

ok

[quaint nebula]

🆗

[modern mesa]

I remember 6 years back when the (now former) devs used to respond with whole paragraphs. Explaining things like why they won't do motion matching and why alternatives are better for that stage of development.

[pliant briar]

disappointed the response wasn't "do it better yourself"

[red jay]

and thus games like "sloperator" and "I'll be in the Ground before this comes out Branch" came into existence

[hazy dew]

I do hope eventually custom map loading changes in the future

[scenic lotus]

modders are already doing it)

[hazy dew]

Pretty similar to project zomboid in terms of development ngl

Modders carried that game hard for 10 years

[scenic lotus]

I'm looking forward to the update...

[finite sapphire]

I have a question

Is it possible to use the taser at the same time as the ballistic shield?

[hazy dew]

Oh me too. Single largest update in the game's history

[scenic lotus]

No. Now - only with pistols

[scenic lotus]

renovated houses in old towns, new towns, there will be another bridge from the mainland on which the character is located, a system for making hand weapons, hunting animals... mmmm
and to think about what other mods will appear on these mechanics - uhh, it's amazing

[formal raft]

no, only with mods (theres a mod that lets u use taser as 2ndary but iirc its the outdated taser

[scenic lotus]

Can you please give me a link to the mod?

[formal raft]

just checked since i dotn use it myself, its not updated for home invasion

[scenic lotus]

ok

[median zinc]

It's weird since logically you should be able to

Ofc you should also be able to use lpvo's as lpvo's and use flashlights as if they werent from the 80s

[gaunt holly]

Using the lpvo is like trying to look through a toilet paper roll on my screen

Same with the m5b

[modern mesa]

What do you mean by flashlights as if they weren't from the 80s?

[median zinc]

I mean they look like they're, optimistically, 300lumen lights, which is comedically dim. 1000-2000 is very common, and probably the most popular rifle lights in use rn are 1500 lumens

They should be at minimum 3x as bright as they are

[modern mesa]

Yeah, true

I use the surefire mod for that

[gaunt holly]

1000 is way too much for cqb work imho

[modern mesa]

1200 lumens I think

Combined light

[gaunt holly]

You'll white out the area and blind yourself

[median zinc]

Sure, but often lights will have a low and high modes anyhoe

And it also depends on how much flood vs throw the light has

[modern mesa]

Works great on dorms, wide beam on that hallway

[gaunt holly]

500 is prob the highest I'd go. Since you're not using your weapon light as a floodlight outdoors anyways. It doesn't need to be that bright for indoor work

Light splashing on walls will blind the user

[modern mesa]

It's sometimes too much if you flick it when close to an object or the doorjamb

[gaunt holly]

In a low light setting that is

[modern mesa]

But otherwise just use it momentarily

[median zinc]

It's the high candela of some lights that blind you when they bounce, floody lights don't really have that issue as much, but also you could just add a toggle for brightness in the game

[modern mesa]

Way better than vanilla WMLs

[gaunt holly]

Ya. The vanilla one just stinks

[median zinc]

I use the surefire mod and realistically, the 1500 lumen mod is a touch too bright

[hazy dew]

Basements, overhauled crafting system, new jobs, new animations, they're working on new world gen

[median zinc]

But also, they can set the light to a more useful but not insane level

What they'd ideally do imo is put a light as dim as the current one on the peq-15, and make the standalone light far brighter

[gaunt holly]

Would be cool if there were flashlight options you can choose from with different lumens

[modern mesa]

Legit

[simple turret]

is it coming soon? i honestly havent been keeping up with news

[scenic lotus]

they wrote what will happen this year, I read the forecast for the end of summer somewhere, but these are all rumors

[open salmon]

Does anyone know how to fix ready or not it keeps crashing on a certain mission idk what to do can anyone help

[modern mesa]

I set my flashlight key to a mouse button too which is useful

[simple turret]

ofc lol still cool to hear

[modern mesa]

I think this deserves a #1050529506022137876 post

[median zinc]

I've brought this up many times

They won't do it bc they want a dark gritty atmosphere

[modern mesa]

Oh jeez 😑

Just looking through the feedback posts, there's like 50 on flashlights

[hazy dew]

Most likely winter honestly

[gaunt holly]

Enemies being able to see our lights will also be huge. Will make the game more fun

[modern mesa]

They don't detect light?

[gaunt holly]

From what I've noticed, they do not react to light at all

[modern mesa]

[gaunt holly]

You can be behind the enemy flickering your light and they won't react

[median zinc]

They also don't react to you yelling DISARMING TRAP when right on the other side of the door 🤣

[modern mesa]

Must have been the wind

I don't get why our SWAT guys say stuff so much

Like you're all sneaky then suddenly you're yelling at a door trying to interact with it

[median zinc]

I've been told the devs have no intent to add the other functionality that peq-15's have irl either which is annoying

[modern mesa]

[quaint nebula]

frrrr that's sooo dumb

[quaint nebula]

what do they have?

[modern mesa]

Eternal suffering

But did they state why?

Is light/laser OvErPoWeReD?

[median zinc]

Flashlights, visible lasers, and ir lasers, currently in game just Ir

[proven oak]

Has anybody else noticed NPCs surrendering much easier than before? (Like yesterday)

[median zinc]

I assume so but my solution of just making the standalone lights and lasers better must make too much sense

[proven oak]

Like I’m getting around a 60% success rate just using verbal commands on port hokan (I do have 2 negotiator npcs)

[modern mesa]

I mean that doesn't come across as overpowered, it's simply functional

[proven oak]

Either I’m lucky as all hell or they changed it

[proven oak]

same thing on coyote

[gaunt holly]

Visible laser isn't that useful anyways. It's nice to have to point out stuff tho

[median zinc]

It's more useful than ir laser since AI doesn't react to light

[modern mesa]

I mean that functionality aspect should have been a core design element of a SWAT game

Can't even gas mask and NVGs

[gaunt holly]

Visible lasers were never intended to be used as an aiming solution so not really

[median zinc]

I mean in the game not irl

[little hawk]

Before they make brighter/better flashlights they should probably make maps darker. It's too damn bright now especially after the engine transition.

You don't even need nvgs or flashlights to see🫥

[gaunt holly]

True

[modern mesa]

Dude I'm on an OLED sometimes can't see a couch in front of me

[little hawk]

Oh shit...

[modern mesa]

Yet friends can see stuff fine on their LCD

[little hawk]

I think I have a VA panel. I can't remember

[modern mesa]

So flashlight is my bestie

[little hawk]

Makes sense

I miss how dark neon tomb used to be

[median zinc]

A lot of stuff in the game strikes me as devs adding it bc the gear looks cool not bc they thought about how it'd work

[modern mesa]

Sometimes seeing muzzle flashes in the dark is like

[little hawk]

30 round flashlight?

[green siren]

that is a good april fools weapon ngl

[modern mesa]

I mean it feels like really basic core stuff like attachments got minimal love

[rich tendon]

bread man

[median zinc]

It's totally critical we have half a dozen identical rifles that in no way simulate their real world benefits and cons

[modern mesa]

vivi

[proven oak]

yes

[modern mesa]

Lol, legit

Seems like the realism side slipped off a cliff and the authenticity side took a nose dive

[quick stone]

Toast woman

[median zinc]

Like granted, how I'd like it is probably too indepth for most people but still

[modern mesa]

Plus even if they got everything right with equipment, your character still gets stuck and impeded on easily navigable objects

Or high ready randomly because game says you're colliding with an object when you're arguably not

The C2 charge though

With that WiFi antenna

Bluetooth connect to that thing

[median zinc]

Also like how we have identical 1911's, both of which suck 🤣

[modern mesa]

Woah, don't diss my 1911

TWO WORLD WARS, GOD'S CALIBRE

[median zinc]

TWO 1911'S, ONE FOR EACH WORLD WAR

Also how there's a 2011 in the files but not that we can use, and a p320 carbine (which is the worst primary in the game), but no regular p320 for us to use on its own, despite being in the game as well

[modern mesa]

Jeez

You ever see the NORG stuff from Ground Branch? @median zinc

[median zinc]

Not sure what you mean by norg but I've seen some gb gameplay

[modern mesa]

#🎨ron-screenshots-and-art

It was their vision a decade back

Natural Order of Realistic Gameplay

I dunno if it's over the top but I thought it was pretty cooool

[hazy dew]

kinda funny seeing this ai mod im using make or break players that play with me

[little hawk]

Whatever super hard mod that was in Japanese or whatever was the most cracked thing I've played.

Was actually pretty fun but only tried on a few maps

[modern mesa]

They just need to add a machinegun nest in a hallway

Dorms hallway MG nest

[little hawk]

We need bushmaster for next gun

[hazy dew]

theres literally a couple enemies with lmgs in ides of march

[open salmon]

can someone help me ready or not started to crash on the post office misson and i just wanna get passed it to get to the dlc

[proven oak]

My best advice would be to lower your graphics

If your having trouble completing the mission, avoid open areas as much as possible

[devout current]

HELLOO PEOPLEE

Can somebody help me? Im searching a picture of the team wendy exfil helmet with ear covers and visor. But im not founding

Oh. Another thing. Will the game run well with and amd anthlon 3? 💀

[lilac vale]

isn't that a chip from like 2010s or sum?

[devout current]

I have seen it was mid end and cheap but im afraid about buy it for nothing

[lilac vale]

that series is discontinued iirc, now AMD only works on Ryzen and Radeon

[devout current]

Yeah but those things are expensive and as ik it doesnt have integrated graphics

[lilac vale]

Integrated graphics ain't gonna cut it with RON being honest here

[devout current]

That's what i thinked

[lilac vale]

You need a dedicated GPU in todays age with modern games

[devout current]

Well, im going back to gb. I dont have 70$ right now

[lilac vale]

have fun

[devout current]

Probabily not 😦 but is the closer thing what i have

[lilac vale]

better then nothing

[devout current]

True

[errant isle]

guys i am having trouble with that mod can you help me?

[rigid bone]

Make sure you read the instructions in the Description

[modern mesa]

@rigid bone what do you think of NORG? #🎨ron-screenshots-and-art

[rigid bone]

NORG?

[modern mesa]

NORG.

[rigid bone]

I have no idea what that means

Ohhh, I see the images

gib mo

[modern mesa]

It's over the top but pretty innovative, I think

That was a decade ago though and they didn't follow through with it

[rigid bone]

I really wouldn't call it innovative, it's more for a different sort of game

It goes back to what I've mentioned a couple of times over my tenure, stuff like that is for a game that's a im-sim or a direct tactical combat simulator, not really for RoN or anything that sits in its niche

[storm cypress]

hi have a idea for a update where do i go to recommend ideas.

[rigid bone]

It is cool though, that much is for sure. It'd be a motherfucker to actuall produce though in a game that looks like RoN, ZH, GB, etc.

[rigid bone]

#📩feedback-reports-channel

[lilac vale]

Be advised though, Kaminsky is reading all feedback very carefully

[storm cypress]

thanks

[rigid bone]

We read all.

[modern mesa]

Yeah, RON is more casual and action focused

Most people wouldn't want to fiddle around with half that stuff

[rigid bone]

-and honestly, you'd more likely see it in a game that looks like Teardown or Paint the Town Red

both great games btw, you should get them

[modern mesa]

Oh hell yeah

I have Teardown
