hunt-general

[astral moss]

Understandable, its just the worst tarot card in term of game design.

[ancient cave]

how silly people are for agreeing to any of these groups demands

[drowsy flax]

like he didnt suggest anything he said something that can happen if the support is willing to text back

[frigid ibex]

I can assure you support won't suggest that

[astral moss]

I don't think they will respond anyway.

[drowsy flax]

so i m literally never gonna be able to play the game cuz they think i cheated and i would be evading ban with creating a new account and deleting anything that couldve been suspicious for them

[ancient cave]

they'll respond it's just crytek has like 2 people that work at their office so it takes a minute

[drowsy flax]

great solution

[drowsy flax]

hes literally online and i texted back instantly

[frigid ibex]

There's people on reddit that managed to get unbanned but that was by eac and not crytek

[astral moss]

I mean, i don't think they need to say anything more. #hunt-general message

[astral moss]

He got VAC ban.

[ancient cave]

oh yeah thats a done deal lol

[frigid ibex]

Well clearly he got a crytek game ban too

[ancient cave]

all you'd be getting a repeated message

[drowsy flax]

they do when i spend a considerable amount of money

[untold stag]

a vac ban on a none valve anticheat game?

[frigid ibex]

What does vac have to do with this

[untold stag]

lol?

[drowsy flax]

not a vac

a game ban

[frigid ibex]

People confuse game bans with vac, it's common

[astral moss]

idk how vac work but he got a VAC red message on his steam profil the day he ask for that here.

[frigid ibex]

Vac is valve anti cheat

[ancient cave]

Mehmet is who helped me :)
he's the one cool crytek guy

[astral moss]

Then he got 2 ban the same day lol.

[dawn zinc]

Mehmet updates me every time they ban someone I report. Good guy

[frigid ibex]

If valve reacted and crytek manually banned you

The odds aren't nice on your side

I assume you play some valve games too

[drowsy flax]

yes i play many games

and only hunt showdown banned me

not even cs

[astral moss]

:Doubt:

[drowsy flax]

please Ranni, if you have nothing helpful to say just keep your thoughts to yourself

[tall canopy]

everyone can play the game howevcer they want, its a sandbox you can use as u want

[ancient cave]

their steam account doesn't have a vac ban shown

so

[frigid ibex]

I think you got it confused. Steam is just mentioning a game ban, which should be hunt

[ancient cave]

vac bans are specified on the profile

theirs is just a game ban

[astral moss]

My bad then.

[dry siren]

The matchmaking is looking good Crytek. Just need to figure out how to stop prestige 100 dweebs from deranking to 3 stars and it will be golden

[frigid ibex]

If you get banned in dbd it says same thing

[ancient cave]

purposefully deranking to 3 stars takes like 5 years

[whole mist]

Reminds me, I need to finish the DbD pass

[ancient cave]

didn't the pass reset

[drowsy flax]

dead by daylights competetive dc server recommends this software to use for pptimizations and i have 700 hours in there

[ancient cave]

is it good this time

or shit like the last one

[drowsy flax]

i were to be long banned tbh

[ancient cave]

me personally I wouldn't listen to a dbd players advice on anything

[drowsy flax]

true

[astral moss]

I mean, did dbd even have an anti-cheat ?

[ancient cave]

it sucks balls

[frigid ibex]

Should say what it is on the store page

[ancient cave]

pretty sure it's the lowest form of eac

[tall canopy]

yeah and other games dont ban u for using reshade but hunt does.
any 3rd party programm is use at ur own risk in every game you play

[astral moss]

Bro only say fact.

[drowsy flax]

i mean its on my laptop but didnt set it up for hunt only for dbd

[ancient cave]

I play everything default because technology is always such a weird mess of rules that change wherever you go

[drowsy flax]

it would destroy my frames if i did

[ancient cave]

the only game I use 3rd party on is mods for ffxiv

[left orbit]

someone here said it takes about 2h in trio. i didn’t believe it, and i tried in solo… it took maybe 3h or 4h. much less than it used to :/

[astral moss]

Only thing i use is a crosshair in the xbox game bar.

[frigid ibex]

Reshape is banned on multiple games, tarkov, cs2, cod, battlefield, d2, ow2

The list is massive

[ancient cave]

4 hours to be right back up in a heartbeat probably

[steep narwhal]

holy EU servers

[ancient cave]

it's more likely a p100 just took a break

[frigid ibex]

Hunt was pretty late to adding joining

[ancient cave]

and sucked coming back

[main flint]

Update put my graphic settings in high quality no wonder I was having frame issues 🗿

[tall canopy]

still pretty sure its allowed for some games, just proving my point that different devs handle 3rd party software different

[frigid ibex]

Its mostly accepted for singleplayer games for obvious reasons (no unfair advantage)

[astral moss]

Maybe cause some game devs are clueless about what you can do with reshade.

[frigid ibex]

Most pvp games have it blocked or usually banned

[tall canopy]

yeah but its not about resahde its about that only because one game allows something doesnt mean other games do too

[astral moss]

Cause even in DBD its clearly an advantage.

[ancient cave]

dbd players are crazy with reshade they have custom presets for every single map

I just press my face to the screen like a true gamer

[whole mist]

Tbh, why do people want all their games to look like a coloring book. After a while that would get sickening to look at

[velvet crown]

server is not responding

wtf

[astral moss]

Or up the gamma.

[tall canopy]

imagine how cool night maps could be if some dont try to squeeze out every bit of advantage

[left orbit]

depends. when re-ranking up i limited myself to 2 kills and forced having at least one down. hours of nonsense Xd

[main flint]

Guys did your ping counter also break after this update? My best region is South America and I get 50 ms and I'm not having any issues in-game, the counter is just wrong

[astral moss]

Gamma OP.

[whole girder]

can we get more banners

i need one for vinson hayes

thanks

[astral moss]

[tall canopy]

#game-ideas :)

[whole girder]

i mean my man is literally on the loading screen of the game

get him a banner

[whole girder]

ye will make one later

[steep narwhal]

antonia higuera banner pls

[left orbit]

cuz it’s not about gaming anymore but being a tryhard with … unbalanced mentality

[frigid ibex]

If you're doubting it try doing it yourself by sending a ping to the server..

I have a feeling it's on your end

[steep narwhal]

what is IP of server

for me to ping

[frigid ibex]

Let me find it

#troubleshooting message

Eu ping is there

[steep narwhal]

also honestly surprised its not dynamic or smth

[unique trail]

Hi guys should I play hunt today

[frigid ibex]

Yes

Immediately

[steep narwhal]

lmao host not reachable

checks out

[bitter steeple]

yes all day every day

[candid otter]

Hey guys

And redeem codes known?

[tall canopy]

no

[untold stag]

I just had the weirdest hunt match so far

[thick condor]

do a coin toss

[untold stag]

2 trios both bush camping killing each other and crouch walking everywhere with bows

while bounty leaves

[tall canopy]

crfater is watching us

[untold stag]

and that canadian mountain skin, bright red crouch walking out in the open

😭

[bitter steeple]

have not seen any lately

[untold stag]

he was practically invisible

[astral moss]

He was afk too.

[untold stag]

Nah, he was moving

you can see him crouch walking slowly

[astral moss]

Yeah but why didn't he shoot ?

[untold stag]

We rolled in and killed 4 people almost immediately so he probably got spooked

😭

[atomic coral]

Nothing like the feeling of a perfectly placed dynamite. Managed not to land it in the water.

[left orbit]

probably didn’t notice there was another team, but already in the middle of nowhere, so hoping that s.he would stay unnoticed.

[untold stag]

what do you use to record btw, your clips are crispy

[atomic coral]

AMD software

Also no motion blur

[untold stag]

Might have to try it then

medal kinda sucks

[left orbit]

motion blur

[untold stag]

He tried to sneak up on us I think

but yeah they were all bush hiding type of players 😭

left like a billion traps at circus and started fighting each other in the woods

[left orbit]

more like "open hiding" type for that one

thinking the skin would be enough to pretend being a bush

prolly

[astral moss]

Bro take the "hiding in plane sight" literal.

[untold stag]

the red really does blend in

[left orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/lot-flying-plane-wings-of-a-plane-gif-5948651852554188861

[untold stag]

tbh I didn't even notice the red

it was the stupid hat

😭

[astral moss]

Oh, maybe it was the wrong word.

[left orbit]

Hunt Showdown: FlightSim 1896

[astral moss]

Ok its "plain sight". T_T

[left orbit]

well sure enough axes and spears fly far

brb must do groceries otherwise i’ll be starving to death, i’ll talk nonsense in this tchat l8tr

[fallow prawn]

I'm hunt showdowning so hard rn

The funniest thing I seen all day

[untold stag]

this post was brought to you the berserker enthusiasts

[left orbit]

brings on all riposting and taloning variants

gets greeted by crouched shotgun

[fallow prawn]

Can only hope to poke their eye a little atp

[covert cobalt]

I haven't believ in it, but she is real

[upper swift]

how do skins work.
i know you have to get a new character when you die, so can you put the same skin on every character?
like if i buy a skin, can i use it all the time.

[untold stag]

Yes, legendary hunters can just be recruited again and again

[upper swift]

oh so its a character, not a skin

[untold stag]

It's just cosmetic but it is its own hunter

it's not just a skin that applies to one character type of thing

[untold stag]

you can just recruit them over and over

[upper swift]

ok

[bitter steeple]

#game-questions

[glad canopy]

randoms

https://tenor.com/view/flight-flight-reacts-flightreacts-yikes-shocked-gif-6414215169603726054

[untold stag]

my randoms are like

80% of the time solid

[glad canopy]

not in 4-3 star where i am 😭

[untold stag]

😭

[whole mist]

Same. I get solid randoms most of the time

[untold stag]

my most recent match just now was one of those 20% moments

we're killing boss and 2 teams arrive, he's sitting outside lawson sandwiched and I tell him repeatedly to get inside

[glad canopy]

this skin is fire

[untold stag]

doesn't listen, dies, ragequits

😭

(me and the other random clutched up tho)

[untold stag]

honestly a lot of cool melee tool skins but I only ever use knuckle knife

wish I could use regular knife more but it's pretty mid

[dawn zinc]

Randoms are so much better since they added team chat

[trail spade]

Bro why is it so hard for players to ping ? Even on discord like we are in a call.
I sometimes get people who say nothing and dont even ping. Like pls ping :(

[untold stag]

only took a million years 😭

[dawn zinc]

Way more people happy to communicate which is huge

[untold stag]

but it has improved it significantly

[untold stag]

im the opposite, I'll ping everything

[trail spade]

Tbh that should have been a thing from the start. Everyone was going to use discord.

[unique trail]

Hopping on now

[dawn zinc]

EU can be really hit or miss for randoms in my experience just because of the language barrier

[trail spade]

You are the hero we needed

Not the one we deserve

[untold stag]

I sometimes adjust the way I talk to try and get them to understand

it's peak

[trail spade]

I havent played with randoms for a long time but 99% of the dudes on discord are cool and chill

[untold stag]

yeah I've not tried the discord much, I should tbh

[trail spade]

Only 1 time I had some dude rage and quit (3* gamer btw)

[trail spade]

Its much better than ingame randoms

Id go for a beer with some of the dudes in here for sure

[dawn zinc]

I should really try lfg sometime but the thought of teaming with someone who just yaps constantly and makes cringe jokes really dissuades me

[untold stag]

I think only thing I'd struggle with is finding people on here who want a 6* guy with 200 hours

😭

[atomic coral]

Yeah Medal and stuff like that compress to low bitrate to stream it, local recording software you can set the bitrate and FPS (without paying a subscription)

[trail spade]

Nah people dont care trust me

Its on the other side for me

[untold stag]

I probably also need to figure out my best recording settings too

[dawn zinc]

Even in randoms sometimes I'll team with one of those people who thinks yelling down the mic at the enemy team is hilarious, I just don't really vibe with it

Mute them right away lol

[trail spade]

I wanted to play 1 game with randoms, got 2 dudes at p100 lv100 and they didnt ready up so I waited till they eventually quit xD

So yeah I dont use the ingame mm cuz f that

[untold stag]

People think I'm some streamers alt when i'm with randoms

[trail spade]

I even said "you'll blink first" and they left lol

[glad canopy]

yeah these randoms are ass

GG

5 kills for nothing

i say "there is sniper dont res me" procedes to res me and die while doing it

[fallow prawn]

Maybe the real hunt was the friends we made along the way

[trail spade]

I saw this happen once, he reved him 4 times till he just died for good and left

They were shotguning through the wall

[dawn zinc]

I got a double kill with penny derringer earlier and like to think they probably thought they just got wiped by Rachta

[trail spade]

I died and he tried to do teh same and I left

[glad canopy]

oh my god my last teamate is leaving

like bro they are 4 stars

your fine

[trail spade]

Thats another thing

[glad canopy]

ive never seen a 6 star 100 prestige ngl

[trail spade]

I hate randoms who run for the exit

Like 2v3 and you run away ? Wtf

[wicked fox]

I’m watching him on YouTube now. 🤠

[glad canopy]

its a 1v2 i fully burnt one too

like atleast res me

[trail spade]

Yeah I hate these dudes. Thankfully lfg on disc saved me

Never again

[dawn zinc]

Ngl I am the sort of person who will leave if I get a couple of randoms who do the dumbest shit

I've grown so tired of finding a game and team mates just having zero awareness

[trail spade]

If I say "shotgun care" and they rush 1 door and get blasted yeah I wont leave but I am not going to try anything.

Had that happen

[wicked fox]

I can’t even imagine playing this game with randoms. 😭

[glad canopy]

100 randoms vs accountability

[trail spade]

It used to be way worse before team chat

When enemy dudes could hear you

[glad canopy]

my voicechats been messed up lately

idk if its a bug or not

[upbeat lark]

If I use devil card while having that one trait that let you not get a burnt bar once do I still get 2 health bar charred or one

Or none

[maiden birch]

for everyone EU server dead?

[trail spade]

I think none ? I dont know tbh

[atomic coral]

I think it was one bar burned when I had both

[maiden birch]

nvm, up again

[glad canopy]

spawn fight dead

ofc the time i play solo

[mortal basin]

real

[fiery sierra]

a

[glad canopy]

haha

[compact lance]

antitank grenade added into hunt

[atomic coral]

That was a crazy match

[cedar heart]

So when using suppressor I should really only use subsonic ammo type ??

[glad canopy]

why is your game so dark

[upbeat lark]

Not necessarily

[atomic coral]

Heavy rain makes it dark indoors

[upbeat lark]

Subsonic make it quiter but you should just use normal ammo type

[glad canopy]

i run max gamma so its always really bright everywhere

[atomic coral]

Bleh, may as well play in black and white

[glad canopy]

im on a fog map so it doesnt do it justice but htere is still color

[upbeat lark]

Special ammo make it so that the flash is visible I don't think it's there when you use normal ammo and subsonic tho

Oh my goodness a lemat marksman user

[glad canopy]

i just got it for free

im a lebel main dw

[upbeat lark]

I'm a

Springfield main prolly

[glad canopy]

valid

[upbeat lark]

It's the gun I used most while prestiging

[glad canopy]

free uppercut from a solo match

im not mad

terrible match 🤣

[west musk]

Anyone knows how to configure digital vibrance on Linux?

[glad canopy]

ion use linux bro

all i do is use monitor and gamma settings

[west musk]

Oh crap

[unique trail]

Only two teams on the map

343 vs 555

555 killed boss we arrived when banishing. Engaged and I stole a token when it hit 100%

[azure thicket]

where can u get the homestead shotgun?

[tall canopy]

they can spawn at the big watch towers in a weapon crate that costs 3 pledge marks to unlock

[azure thicket]

ah the ones that look like forest ranger outpost?

[tall canopy]

idk what they look like, but just the big towers that stand somewehre on the maps :D

[azure thicket]

ajt

[opal dawn]

Imo they could put all the scarce buyable weapons in the circus tent. A trick shot could deffo use a wildland!

[modern pebble]

theres no way people still believe in mmr

[unique trail]

Freaking scupper lake bullshit

Hate that compound

So many spawn kills and crap

Its like every single time

[dry siren]

the 6 star players do

[unique trail]

So frustrating

[bitter steeple]

trap payed off

[dry siren]

Also just have to say this. but deranking to 3 star as a prestige 100 is just sad

shame

[modern pebble]

okay weekend clash is cancer i see

its all fucking bows lmao

but sure bow is balanced

[left orbit]

i love the moment of contemplation of your work XD

[bitter trellis]

bro why am i getting 6-star lobbies as a 3 star

[bitter steeple]

why thankyou kind sir

[modern pebble]

this has to be the longest clip of all time

[left orbit]

been a while not having a spawn fight there
worst case has been one match with a team coming from … eh… the cemetery compound, for no fkin reason

(we made NO noise at all, avoided being seen from there, and map unveiled in the opposite direction. they ambushed us but failed miserably)

okay chat i’m confused

1 team salters pork, 1 team golden. i’m in the middle.

i hear shots at salters, but someone died at golden. both teams don’t know about each other. that doesn’t make any sense

[visual estuary]

lmfaooo

[left orbit]

and golden team still battling an immolator LMFAO

[visual estuary]

my bad bro lol

[glad canopy]

yo dis guys mic cracking me up 😂

[visual estuary]

i wished it picked up my mic dude! i was going feral lmao

[glad canopy]

ripped a blinker mid fuckin shit too 😂

is that console?

[visual estuary]

lol ye bro ps5

i only started playing hunt few weeks ago

[glad canopy]

i bet u were shaking

had bro held it for like 1 second longer u woulda been toast

[left orbit]

yup

[mortal basin]

Didn't die to bow????

I knew it was ass 🙄

[left orbit]

poor dude was 2 star

for some reason i didn’t giggle on his last pull… i was going full internal meltdown

i died in the end, i fucked up so badly

[unique trail]

Ok taking a break too much bs

Getting mad lol

[prime lake]

should i refund violent balance and get the skull taker dlc 🤔

[left orbit]

damn i really, really suck rn: white shirt camping in a bush waiting with romero shorty, it took it full face

[left orbit]

don’t ❤️ we love you ❤️

was "hiding" there goddamn

[prime lake]

you playin on ultrawide monitor?

[left orbit]

yep babe

[prime lake]

fov final boss

[left orbit]

well

given my old age

i need to reduce FOV otherwise there is too many things going on on the screen, and i can’t see heads properly 😅

[prime lake]

i play with the zoom in config thing bcs of that

i still dont hit any heads tho

[left orbit]

yeah but at least you see them

50% success

[modern pebble]

"babe"

damn

[prime lake]

how frecuently we get dlc hunters

like theres periods were theres one per month released

and then 6 month timeskip

[left orbit]

you jaelous? i can call you babe too :> babe

[glad canopy]

its random

[prime lake]

do devs follow a callendar for ts

oh

[glad canopy]

whenever they just feel like it

[prime lake]

well

[glad canopy]

kinda hunt showdown 😭

[mystic ravine]

Any Meathead Masters in here?

[glad canopy]

devs make updates when they feel like it 😭

[prime lake]

Rangda got some psyop effect on me

specially when all your teammates wear tactical skins

"being happy VS fitting in society"

[left orbit]

afaik it’s pretty often
idk i’d say on average there is at least 1 DLC a month? either via steam or via BB

we’ve been drenched in BB content recently, like re-release of previous hunters with some modifications etc

just don’t fear of missing anything because they will publish something else, anyways

it’s their business model so

they need to sell stuff

[prime lake]

saw the fool event a few days ago

how did i missed that

[prime lake]

might refund rangda and pray for the coiled serpent to come back in feb

last murder circus weapon skins came back so its possible

[atomic coral]

The Meat Man Taketh

[modern pebble]

the drilling is just unreasonable

[left orbit]

iirc you cannot refund DLC

[modern pebble]

two instant taps of dum dum + a romero

[prime lake]

in steam you can

just same reqs as refunding games

[left orbit]

eeeh… even cosmetic contents like that??

[prime lake]

well yeah

[spark plaza]

afternoon amogus

[left orbit]

oh. you’re done evading taxes i see

[whole mist]

evading taxes is temporary. Amogus is forever

[left orbit]

who is amogus though?

joined in 2021

must be the chillest hunter of all

[whole mist]

amogus just is

[hardy coral]

Quartermaster 9 trait points next patch! Nice!

[left orbit]

i’d rather delete the trait then

only the rich gonna rich, once more

[prime lake]

got post malone jumpscared

[tepid drum]

This number does not account for the crank at all. With the crank it is 1.5 seconds between actual shots, and i believe the crossbow is 3 with bolt thrower

never legs even at 0m but to the arms yes

[tepid drum]

and the shredder also has downsides that the crossbow doesn't have. I think they are pretty comparable especially if you consider custom ammo

[prime lake]

saws can bounce from walls to you

[tepid drum]

So what

[modern pebble]

also dats crazy i wasnt jealous i just thought the the other fella was new

[tepid drum]

the crossbow can wallbang

[prime lake]

chance of killing yourself lol

[tepid drum]

This is also borderline impossible. I have 196 shredder kills this event and i have 2 ricochet kills and have hit another person once

[tepid drum]

if you count that i have 3 ricochets kills lmfao

i headshot myself once 😭

[prime lake]

can the saws go thru hunters

so crazy double kills or what

[tepid drum]

no

[hasty wharf]

no, they embed into the hunter now

[tepid drum]

not anymore

[prime lake]

oh so used to

pfffft

[hasty wharf]

the first iteration could go through players, but after the rework it lost that

[tepid drum]

last event with the really OP version

[prime lake]

bring it back but make it 5 marks to get

[tepid drum]

no.

[tepid drum]

It used to cost 9 pledge marks to buy the shredder because it was so fucking stupid

[prime lake]

ah

lmao

[tepid drum]

they should just leave the shredder and flame rifle as is and let you buy them

[hasty wharf]

it was disgustingly overpowered, especially with the fucking proximity-detonation fragblades

[tepid drum]

they are very balanced imo

[tepid drum]

i can't even imagine

[prime lake]

"fragblades"???

[tepid drum]

they would home in on players and donate near them 👍

and the old ricochet would bounce towards players

now it is entirely physics based and is based as hell

if you ricochet someone you earned that shit

[hasty wharf]

okay, "home in" is a bit of an exaggeration, the default blades had a slight homing specifically ON RICOCHET, but it was very gentle and you could easily never know about it

i dont think the frags had it but they did just go off near you even if they missed lol.

[tepid drum]

The frags would literally curve in the air to follow you

[hasty wharf]

that's just not true

they would airburst on proximity, and MAYBE they had the wallbounce quirk, but I honestly don't think they did

[tepid drum]

i lied

[prime lake]

sounds like a PTSD inducing meta

[spark plaza]

Frags had no homing capabilities, it was specifically only the saw blades

[tepid drum]

they didn't wallbounce afaik

[tepid drum]

yes this is correct i misremembered a clip i saw(blade)

[hasty wharf]

the frags did bounce

[unique trail]

Combine flame rifle with saw blade

Who says no

[tepid drum]

what

[unique trail]

It shoots flaming saws

[tepid drum]

would they home after that?

[hasty wharf]

I think not

[tepid drum]

i mean like bounce specifically towards someone like the regular blades

ok

[hasty wharf]

it's my understanding the default blades had their fancy magic runes to home in, and the frags had fancy magic runes to airburst detonate

[tepid drum]

Yes they did use the runes for that. i wasn't sure if the frag blades had them or not

oh wait

i misread what you said but still yes

lol

[remote moss]

old saw was pretty balanced

lets be real, aiming a projectile moving as slow as the saw is an impossible task for the average 6 star

even if its practically free with homing

[mortal basin]

lmao

[tepid drum]

why do you hate the romero

[midnight lichen]

Is something wrong with eu servers rn ?

[mortal basin]

is bad

[remote moss]

romero would be strong if buckshot could one tap at 18m

give it to us

give it slug 20m

would be as balanced as bow, trust

alamo would still just be a worse bow

[hasty wharf]

"as balanced as bow"

[remote moss]

standard romero would just be a worse crossbow

romero alamo becomes bow level, this is great

[remote moss]

Oh wait, it already is!

[tepid tapir]

anyone else getting laggy servers in US East rn??

[midnight lichen]

We got on eu, really bad

[tepid drum]

how is this a problem though

[remote moss]

should buff it so it competes against crossbow

should be worse since romeros like half crossbow price or whatever

[hasty wharf]

should nerf crossbow so it competes against crossbow

[remote moss]

yeah i dunno how they would nerf crossbow

[hasty wharf]

just gut steel bolts methinks

[remote moss]

shotbolts still chilling, steel bolt can be lowered one tap range but it still bleeds and high dmg, regular bolt a range debuff is fine

[midnight lichen]

Fell through ground, when lag was gone i could not get back up, could not end myself nothing, even went right below exit and nothing lost all stuff.

[remote moss]

pretty sure hand crossbow can one tap at like 15m too

[left orbit]

tchat i wanna go flamethrower + xbow dragon breath in clash, can i? :3

[tepid drum]

i think it is fine for some weapons to be better than other similar weapons

[left orbit]

iirc yes

[remote moss]

its abusive so sure

[tepid drum]

it's not like there's a situation where someone has to use a romero instead of a crossbow if they don't want to

[ancient cave]

apparently its "spider season" where my friend lives and he's complaining mid match about spiders falling onto his neck and shit

we can never have a normal hunt night </3

[hasty wharf]

19m

10 to lower torso

[remote moss]

oh awesome

why the fuck am i wasting time using two slot shotguns, got a slightly more consistent one tap right there

[remote moss]

just tape everything to oblivion

[tepid drum]

why do you want the game to be so balanced

[remote moss]

i dont, i just abuse meta

i use the meta people dont use because their skill level needs consistency over better options

mosin instead of krag, ignoring spitzer

in this case, the spam meta suits me

need high fire rate to fight more than one person at once, and to kill or wallbang them before they can run back into safety

compact and medium fmj are extremely spammy and ammo box makes it incredibly viable

semi auto is still as strong as ever, cyclone, officer carbine, bornheim match

[hasty wharf]

officer carbine dont catch enough flak

[tepid drum]

it is OP as hell

[remote moss]

overshadowed by cyclone

[tepid drum]

no

the officer carbine is better

[remote moss]

but officer carbine can kill 3 people in one mag, cyclone only 2 and then a nasty reload

[mortal basin]

They don't have to gut them tho

Just had to buff them in a way that makes sense

[hasty wharf]

i exaggerate but i do think they should be nerfed or reworked somehow

[mortal basin]

Not just, "Yeah, they'll do full damage now" 😭

Crazy buff

[tepid drum]

oh you mean it hides it not it is better

[remote moss]

nah cyclone is better cause it can wallbang and has a high two tap range for players better at bodyshots

[mortal basin]

Still can't believe it

[hasty wharf]

full damage and also better retention past the oneshot range lol

[remote moss]

problem with carbine is that the two tap distance is more limited and you need to get those headshots at range

cyclone is technically easier to use and bodyshot with in that case

[mortal basin]

Should have made them fly better and given them one wooden wall pen or something. That would be pretty sick

but instead they just buffed straight up damage 😭

Buff them in a way that makes sense and gives them a niche: 👎

Buff damage so they're just better: 👍

[remote moss]

shredder

[hasty wharf]

hv on a lot of guns is sub 25% velo increase in exchange for damage, reserve, and recoil. steel bolts are now a pitiful reserve decrease for 50% velocity and better damage at long range

[left orbit]

ok so flamethrower is deffo not an issue and i only managed to burn down 1 small bar out of a hunter, while being inside compound lul

romero would have worked b3tt3r

[modern pebble]

chaos bolts r better

[remote moss]

yes, its not designed for pushing

[left orbit]

i was actually cringed by a crown

[remote moss]

its about spamming prefires for 50 to 100 dmg while youre safe behind a corner before they can even peek

[hasty wharf]

I think there's some potential with the flamethrower that might arise over time as people learn the mechanics but I don't think it'll be a problem tbh

[remote moss]

so aoe them, you can aim off center and it still lands

[hasty wharf]

it doesn't help that it's scarce so people cant really consistently practice with it

[left orbit]

time for an all-scotty loadout then. medium scotty + dual scotty. full fmj. lezzgo

[remote moss]

ye

in flamethrower range, its practically semi auto but worse

any semi auto gun would kill while flamethrower lags behind a little on the ttk

so you gotta use it to bounce flames to set people on fire, or obnoxious angle holding prefires so someone cant even contest you

[tepid drum]

hv is trash on most things now

[remote moss]

right, at 15m, the ttk is 1.5 seconds if you land everything. so its the equivalent of like 1.2 cycle speed guns and then .3 for time to aim or whatever

[tepid drum]

yeah the flame rifle is bad. it should be buyable (as well as the shredder)

[tepid drum]

i agree fully. But if you can't buy it, no one will bother learning to actually use the thing properly

It's hard to develop a skill you can't practice and can't use after you've developed it

[remote moss]

doesnt help that 100% of all flame rifle videos dont explain how it functions as a 5/20 semi auto with funny aoe and bouncing fire

[dawn zinc]

I wouldn't say flame rifle is bad, can be used pretty effectively unless your lobbies have absolutely zero variety in loadouts

[remote moss]

shit, even the training range flame rifle video guys dont explain that you FUCKING LEAD IT

and theyre like "oooo aiming directly doesnt do anything"

[tepid drum]

i see you made this point too. The same thing is true for the shredder. I am still quite bad at ricochets but i am definitely slowly improving. Once blademancer leaves, it will actually just be impossible to learn especially if the shredder stays scarce

[tepid drum]

you can't bounce flames can you?

[remote moss]

no, only the oil fires

so every shot fires 2 projectiles dealing 25 dmg each, and they set the ground on fire when it lands, and they both bounce once

so a total of 4 oil fires per shot

you can bounce two oil fires

[tepid drum]

oh interesting

[remote moss]

yeah and the projectile is aoe, so you can afford to miss one full hunters worth and itll still land for full damage

the problem is again, no one is leading the fucking thing

[half ruin]

both randoms bum rush boss lair
one gets blown up by a barrel trap and the other gets blasted
I look for cover and a better spot since I have a marathon
"dude wtf why aren't you rezzing???" both leave instantly

[tepid drum]

I would. Dragon bolts are better

[remote moss]

they are, tbh

3m burst and like 24 char dmg before they can sprint out of the flame

[tepid drum]

1 slot, resupplies with special ammo, and you can take half of another ammo type for extra utility

people sleep on the hand crossbow

[left orbit]

-1IQ players

they will eventually stop playing hunt lul

[half ruin]

I feel like I'm playing overwatch sometimes with randoms

same energy as DPS overextending and whining about heals

[whole mist]

Lol

The DPS mentality infects all games

[dawn zinc]

I mean they have completely different playstyles.
If you try to do what a flame rifle can do with dragon bolts you're gonna be killed most times before you load your second bolt

[tepid drum]

My point is that it is worse not the same

they do different things

The flame rifle isn't particularly good at what it does

Which is perfectly fine

But it should not be scarce

[left orbit]

guess why i stopped playing OW… i was always heal but when dude complained i wasn’t always following the same dummy going alone to the front... eh

single braincell kiddos

[remote moss]

remember, always heal the tank, not the dps that positions like trash

[tepid drum]

i stopped playing overwatch when they shut the game down

[remote moss]

at least in rivals, who knows about ow

[left orbit]

(kiddos can have multiple braincells but those ones didn’t have lul)

[dawn zinc]

I'd rather have the flame rifle personally and I used to run dragon bolts exclusively during the tide events

[tepid drum]

That's perfectly fine. They are different weapons and different people will prefer different ones

I love the Springfield. I do not think it is better than the mosin

I will choose a Springfield over a mosin 100% of the time regardless

[left orbit]

martini is kinda hard to play with but ooooo the satisfaction

[dawn zinc]

I wouldn't even compare them in the same manner.
Dragon Bolts are so much different to flame rifle you can't compare them in the same manner as a mosin and a springfield.
It would be more like comparing a specter and a martini henry or something

Flame rifle vs dragon bolts cqc is going to melt the dragon bolt player and dragon bolts vs flame rifle at range is going to have the advantage but isn't really going to be much better

I think the flame rifle is just better than dragon bolts overall personally

[tepid drum]

@halcyon urchin is posting scam images

@shell geode (sorry if we aren't supposed to ping moderators, i looked through the rules and your bio and didn't see anything saying not to)

and you happened to be online

[tepid drum]

it looks like a hacked account to me, 3 mutual servers, had an account and been in this server for 3 years

[whole furnace]

Today I learned: There is a window where two players can shadow leap to the same target

[modern pebble]

dragon bolts with 1860 carbine

[prime lake]

how many free BBs you get from the weekly challenges

450?

[tepid drum]

that's new to this event

[whole furnace]

50

[tepid drum]

they made it so there's a delay after the leap

it feels really bad tbh

[prime lake]

meant all weeks but yeah

[tepid drum]

yes

[tepid drum]

1865?

[prime lake]

can spare 5 and still cycle the next bp

im not using subsonic ammo

They were too scared to get back up

[tepid drum]

[tepid drum]

why are you embarrassing yourself

[left orbit]

i like the feeling of being embarrassed by myself

also

who else than i knows better how to embarrass myself?

job done right

i will send 2L of wa'er to Mexico in compensation

[shell geode]

Me waking up from a nap to see spam

[left orbit]

you’ve signed up for this

also, ez fix: don’t do nap

[shell geode]

Apparently

I hate napping but also it’s cold and I’m bored and trying not to doomscroll

Can’t doomscroll if you’re eeping

[whole mist]

Ok that one’s actually kinda funny

[whole path]

Hey guys it’s the 4090 guy here. Can you all please que for match making? This game is very dead

I been waiting for a soul survivors match for 10 minutes now

[whole mist]

“The 4090 guy” i remember

[whole path]

Can y’all please que

This is ridiculous

[whole mist]

Soul Surv is pretty much dead imo

[whole path]

I have 4090 and this game runs very bad and on top of the game is dead

[left orbit]

more bait

i don’t remember you as the 4090 guy, just the bait troll tryhard

[tepid drum]

i love sleeping so much

[storm pebble]

Update your drivers gng

Im on a 4070 and get 180fps stable

[mortal cove]

90fps cap

Weak

[mortal cove]

I remember you more as the "HDD in 2026" guy

Because it's funny af you are still rocking spinning rust in the year of the lord

[storm pebble]

nobody plays soul unfortunately

[mortal cove]

When I can list games as early as 2018 that already showed issues with HDDs

[storm pebble]

who in their right mind still uses hdds

[mortal cove]

The clock has been ticking for 8 years bud

[mortal cove]

@whole path

And he complains his Hunt has issues as a result

Rocks a PC with a 4090

Looks inside

HDD

[storm pebble]

Well...

[left orbit]

my strength is in the benefit/cost ratio. anything above 90FPS is a waste for me

[storm pebble]

Time to upgrade I think

[mortal cove]

I have sadly been cursed by 240Hz

So anything below 180fps in Hunt feels unplayable now

Never get a high refreshrate display kids

It's just a curse

My minimum playability threshold went from 40fps on 120Hz to 80fps on 240Hz @left orbit

I can assure you, 40fps is a LOT easier to hit at 4K than 80fps

[left orbit]

well yeah

4K is the reason i stopped at 2K (ultrawide, that is)

and i can already feel the "ultrawide" spice

[mortal basin]

Martini moment lol

[left orbit]

both teams traded

and i was offed by another one i didn’t hear didn’t see

[mortal cove]

Wtf are you using that it's so pixelated? No AA?

THe foliage shimmering would drive me insane

[left orbit]

recorded 1080P, zoomed

i hate AA

first thing i do in ALL games is to disable it

been doing that since i started gaming on PC, i was 14yo

we’re 20y later

[mortal cove]

Time to use DLAA preset M at least

[left orbit]

no AA

no upscaling

no bs

i want my pixels crispy

[mortal cove]

DLAA isn't upscaling

[left orbit]

i didn’t say it was

also

[mortal cove]

DLAA is TAA on crack xd

[left orbit]

ima not debating this
it’s like debating text editors for devs
me got preference comfortable with :3

[mortal cove]

But no seriously DLSS 4.5 preset M in DLAA mode would likely suprise you.

[left orbit]

i want my crispy pixels

AMD here

[mortal cove]

I get that.... but you can have the crispy pixels without also having tons of artifacts.

[mortal cove]

Okay maybe not on a Radeon GPU

Sadge

I should send you screenshots comparing no AA to DLAA preset M @left orbit

I think that's a fun comparison actually

[left orbit]

look at this crispy beauty

you can almost feel the pixels fizzing in your eyes

[velvet trellis]

where do I get the corvus cavalry saber skin ? I cant seem to find it

[mortal cove]

All I see is tons of stairstepping

No subpixel resolution at all

But tbf, even back when DLSS didn't exist, I used to run SSAA in my games. @left orbit

So I was always a nut for high quality Anti-Aliasing

[left orbit]

SMAAx2 vs none

mh

[mortal cove]

Personally I think 2TX SMAA sucks

[left orbit]

image compression of the screenshot does a great job at messing the stuff

[mortal cove]

DLSS in Quality mode So 1440p to 4K upscaled looks better than 2TX SMAA

[left orbit]

i was going crazy with FSR because of ghosting, and i thought i was seeing a hunter every 2 seconds

it actually caused me nightmares

like, actual nightmares in my sleep

[whole mist]

i hate FSR

[left orbit]

i think i can’t tell the diff

[mortal cove]

Well yeah, FSR is the worst of the vendor based temporal upscalers

[left orbit]

also

https://tenor.com/view/flashbang-flash-cat-betterttv-gif-10690574645280585754

[whole mist]

those 3 look super similar

[mortal cove]

No AA, DLAA preset M, SMAA2TX

[mortal cove]

Benefit of 4K I guess

[opal dawn]

skill issue

[mortal cove]

no AA, DLAA preset M, 2TX SMAA

This time in a more zoomed in part of the image.

Also apologies for the highlight blowout, I was running HDR and I'm too lazy to disable it

[whole mist]

https://tenor.com/view/reaction-my-eyes-cant-unsee-burn-gif-7225082

[mortal cove]

But imo you can actually see pretty well here that DLAA often times manages to be more resolving than having no AA at all While you know, offering AA. @left orbit

[ancient cave]

thank you hunt showdown for the infinite loading screen

[left orbit]

ok i’ve been doing solo vs duo for some rounds now
and it’s by far the worst experience ever
nothing happens... at all... and if you dare doing something you just seal your fate by having crouch walkers who will headshot you

it’s like if "showdown" was directly translated to "crouch walking only"

[opal dawn]

I play a lot of duos

You're 100% correct

[south dawn]

i feel like duos should be 2 bounties only

single bounty duos is too much

[left orbit]

wait until they make hunt 256 player per map

[opal dawn]

Yeah, double bounty is great for duos to prevent stalemates, but I hate it for trios

[left orbit]

same. double bounty for trio is ass

[south dawn]

yeah usually a trio always gets out

[opal dawn]

Either a trio gets out, or you know exactly how many to expect

[left orbit]

also trio mode should be solo vs trio vs trio and remove duos. they apply the same "do nothing" strat as in 2v2

[opal dawn]

Only reason I like duos is the paranoia, when am I gonna get 5th partied in this fight

[left orbit]

oh man…

where do you find the patience though?

[opal dawn]

Sometimes it's rough, but generally speaking, that uncertainty is what got me into Hunt

[whole mist]

136dmg..........cool

[opal dawn]

This is why you pick Dolch

[south dawn]

or use anything but the nagant

[opal dawn]

Even a conversion pistol would've saved you there

[mortal cove]

Same as a single Mosin shot

[ancient cave]

I wish this game was better at separating things, it feels like theres always a big bundle of carts or wild target, or circus right next to the bounty

[opal dawn]

It does feel like supply point are more congregated this event

[whole mist]

i did get this clean stab kill tho.

[whole mist]

They're bugged iirc

[opal dawn]

Makes sense

[whole furnace]

When you aim is bad in Hunt, you need to fight for your fucking life.

[tardy isle]

After grinding all night long I did finally get my beetle badge

[whole furnace]

Now you just need it to reach lvl 10 :D

[modern pebble]

Why

[south dawn]

too much third partying

[tardy isle]

At the beetle damage rate ill see level 10 in a few years

[modern pebble]

there won’t be many fights with always2 bounties

[south dawn]

in duos with 6 teams?

3 teams for each bounty?

hell yeah there will

i mean im not saying yknow abolish single bounties altogether but if its not already this way make it a rare thing

[scenic plinth]

tally ho lads

fix bayonets!

[ancient cave]

yes

[left orbit]

don’t share profiles

[ancient cave]

and posting it here gets you in trouble so you should delete

[left orbit]

go on huntshowdwon website, login and create a support request

you can upload a small MP4 file with video or link to youtube, + submit steam profile

[unborn cargo]

Okay thanks

[tardy isle]

Is teamkilling an actionable offense these days? I think i remember they used to be marked on the map unless thats a different game im thinking of

[opal dawn]

Marked on the map? What?

If you get tk'd you can report them

[tardy isle]

Im thinking of a feature I saw once, probably on a different game where team killers were shown on everyone's map

I think it was Vigor now

[left orbit]

different game

never had that here

[wicked fox]

That happens in the game Vigor.

[opal dawn]

I wouldn't be against that here, mid-game report, you have 5 seconds to make report, and they'd be visible in dark sight by everyone

Or you're just available in dark sight regardless untill you pick up your buddy

[left orbit]

just do like CS:CZ admin mod /slap command

every time hunter tries to aim… /slap

and gets pushed 5 meters in whatever direction

[opal dawn]

/choke and they get affected by chokebomb effects

[left orbit]

haha

then we can have lots of variations

/poison
/choke
/slap
/drop-weapons-on-floor

(including derringers)

[left orbit]

haven’t played lulu in ages

5 martini kills - 4 on the same dude heard them leave but forgot to check if they all extracted or if last kill redskulled the poor lad

[half ruin]

had another cinematic hunt moment

as usual, everyone funneled into the same compound and it was assasin, it was down to a 1v1 and I somehow lived a bow shot with like 20hp but it was poison. So I retreated inside to heal only for the boss to insta agro and kill me because I suffered a severe skill issue

[left orbit]

the assassin’s special

i wonder if AI is coded to sniff&target low HP hunters

[half ruin]

there was a health pack in there too that I was trying to use, and I managed to stun the boss enough where I think I could heal safely

but nah, instead of running around on the floor like I thought he normally did it was just nonstop attacking

[ancient cave]

it is

it goes after the weakest

[half ruin]

doesn't he usually retreat back into bugs and run around for a bit if you damage him enough tho

[ancient cave]

sometimes

sometimes he'll fake it out and immediately come back out

somethings he just stays

[half ruin]

splendid

[whole path]

my drivers are updated

[whole path]

literaly every other game runs fine

i'm not spending 400 dollars on an ssd for a badly optimized single game

[opal dawn]

You're... Running an hdd in 2026?

[half ruin]

I only use an HDD for my videos

[whole path]

i have 3 14 tb red nas drives

i don't need to buy a new drive

[opal dawn]

nas drives, for gaming

[whole path]

yeah its better then gaming drives

because its ment for professional work

[opal dawn]

Bruh...

[whole path]

i don't buy things for "gaming" its just overpriced nonsense

[opal dawn]

There are also work GPU's, and they're not good for gaming

[median pagoda]

What Pistols are the best for dual wield?

[whole path]

yes they are

6000 series is not ment for gaming and even tho the drivers aren't ment for gaming it crushes 5090 with poor optimization

[opal dawn]

Accuracy-wise? Conversion pistols, scottfield, pax or trueshot

[mortal cove]

Ehm.... No lol

[opal dawn]

A 6000 does not crush a 5090 in gaming

[digital thicket]

hello

[mortal cove]

NAS is even worse for gaming Than just getting a NVMe drive

[mortal cove]

The RTX 6000 Pro Blackwell technically does.... but that's simply because it's near fully enabled GB202

The actual workstation / Datacenter GPUs don't even have drivers that would work with games

Like H200 / B200

[whole path]

you can just iunstall the 5090 drivers and it works

and thats with using drivers that it was not o[ptimzaed for

and it still crushes benchmarks on raw power

[mortal cove]

There are so many things wrong with what you just said

There are no GPU specific drivers for Desktop GPUs

Nvidia's driver package does not work that way

[whole path]

yes there is i am using 4090 drivers right now

i downloaded it on their website

[mortal cove]

You are using GPU drivers... likely the gaming branch

The actual GPU does not really matter

The 2060 and 5090 get the excact same GPU driver

The package is identical

[opal dawn]

Sure, but its drivers aren't made for it on that hw

[whole path]

ha luu i caught you saying thins you don;t know

[mortal cove]

That is also wrong, it uses the same driver as it's avaible on all other Geforce cards.

[whole path]

and it still crushes 5090

[mortal cove]

Idk if crushes is the right word for it.

[left orbit]

got you right there, you won’t go unnoticed under this RTX GTX MTX BTX BTS TSAA AATS RXTS 9000X3DD HDD SSD banter

clarifies throat

hello 👋

[mortal cove]

It's simply the fully enabled GB202 die

5090 also uses GB202

It's just cut down by ~20%

Because turns out, making a 750mm² large GPU is quite hard to yield

So you have to make cuts to the die to ensure every 5090 is roughly identical in performance

[mortal cove]

I am pretty confident in my knowledge for PC hardware You haven't really catched me in anything lol

The only thing you have showcased is your own misinformed mindset

[storm pebble]

Hm maybe its the outdated hardware called HDD thats messing the frames up

[mortal cove]

NVMe SSDs are objectively superior to HDDs in all but 1 category.

[opal dawn]

There's not many in here that knows more about PC specs than Luu

[mortal cove]

HDDs have slower bitrot behaviour, so for long term storage they are superior still to most SSD technology

[hollow rapids]

Bitrot was awful on the earlier SSD's, but it's improved

[hollow rapids]

but thats not a crytek issues its Windows Launcher

That is incorrect

[tall canopy]

you cant play it on ps4 anymore

[whole path]

i should not have worse proformance then a ps4

[mortal cove]

At least since the 2.0 relaunch

[opal dawn]

They cut ps4 support

[mortal cove]

CryEngine 5.11 is pretty much SSD centric now

Most of the workarounds for HDDs that devs needed to accomodate for with last gen hardware have been cut in most modern games

[hollow rapids]

its not a ps4 game. its a pc game with ports to console

[mortal cove]

Again, going as far back as games from 2018 / 2019 like Control

[whole path]

blakc ops 7 has no issues on my machine

and that is 2025

[hollow rapids]

anyone try dlss 4.5 it is better on hunt or same images get washed?

[opal dawn]

Crytek is nuts tbh, having a rig dependant game for a multiplayer game

[mortal cove]

Much much better

[hollow rapids]

do i need activate it on nvidia app or enable ingame do it?

[mortal cove]

I posted comparison screenshots on the day it came out @hollow rapids

[mortal cove]

Nvidia App, DLSS override > Preset M

[hollow rapids]

i want give it a try i mean i got 144fps on very high stable so i sure dont need dlss haha but idk it looks better with it or not

[mortal cove]

Activision's engine is also still made for last gen consoles But that changes with the next COD.

Activision already announced they are dropping last gen with 2026's COD

So you can be assured their engine will also be much better on a SSD and probably unplayable on a HDD going forward.

[whole path]

well i guess i will complain on activision discord in 2026

[mortal cove]

You could also just upgrade to a SSD

[hollow rapids]

every game is shit on HDD maybe idk games from 2010 works with HDD good? 😄

[whole path]

ssd is only ment for the boot drive

[opal dawn]

Wha...

[mortal cove]

Well no That is where you are very mistaken

[hollow rapids]

[whole path]

there is no reason to spend more money so your game boots 10 sec faster

[hollow rapids]

thats wrong lol

It doesn't just boot faster

It plays better

[mortal cove]

Do you know what asset / texture streaming is?

[whole path]

no i don't make games

[tall canopy]

this has to bait, theres no way someone really thinks ssd´s are not an upgrade and standart by now

[mortal cove]

So, you make uninformed claims.... based on no knowledge around how games are made. @whole path

Bold strategy

[opal dawn]

I've had both SSD's and HDD's, and it turns out, SSD's runs better with games

[mortal cove]

You are largely safe with games from 2017 or older.

But 2018 / 2019 is where you start to see games where SSDs will have better texture streaming behaviour and less stutters than using a HDD

Love how Crytek tries to force us to play Bounty Clash - a game mode riddles with [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] NAN acounts from a certain country. :D

[hollow rapids]

Ssd should be default today. Hdd only for cheap storage to save Videos, pictures and other files. But not games

[mortal cove]

The most relevant early example for what I tend to play is Remedy's Control from 2019 @hollow rapids

[karmic quest]

no idea why but my game loads into a match faster than people with a faster pc than mine

[mortal cove]

I should look up the HDD stutter video again

[whole path]

oh okay so its okay when you use ai answer but not when i doi

[hollow rapids]

Dont want use my time to create you a table haha

[karmic quest]

anyone wanna play a game on eu servers?

[mortal cove]

And that is arguably where HDDs shine the most Given their data retaining capabilities in no power conditions are superior to SSDs

are we witnessing AI answer battles now?

[hollow rapids]

[mortal cove]

Get the popcorn ready for that one

[opal dawn]

🍿

[left orbit]

i’m so happy that i won’t be able to buy a replacement RAM stick if one fails, but at least i have AI answer battles to watch

so cool

living the dream

[ancient cave]

even if you were pro AI idk why you'd use it as an answer to others because it's so hated even if it's right people wil ignore it

[left orbit]

where can i donate to nVidia to have more AI answer battles?

[hollow rapids]

Donate them to fix shadow play

[mortal cove]

They'll use AI to "fix" it

Same way Microslop is improving Windows 11 with AI

[left orbit]

ah. you’re in the subscription business i see

[heavy pewter]

Bounty Clash weekly = spend more time trying to find a match than to actually play the lame game mode

[hollow rapids]

Sure programming nvidia ai and ask them how to fix

[left orbit]

i sincerely thing that the gaming industry as we know it for PC and possibly consoles will die in favour of streaming subscription bullshit

[tall canopy]

just ignore that mission then

[mortal cove]

Unlikely

[tall canopy]

noone forces you to complete all missions

[mortal cove]

PC gamers will just not upgrade or stick with older / less powerful hardware for now

[heavy pewter]

Since they made it even harder to get bb from tribues - you think i can afford to pass them up?

[tall canopy]

its 1 mission

[hollow rapids]

Sry but cloud gaming destroy the games industry

I tried geforce now rly bullshit

[left orbit]

for now, yes. it’s what i will do. but the subscription model is very much better for nVidia and/or AMD: they can build whatever they want, however they want, kill a market (they’re doing it with overpriced RAM), and be the only offer available even if it’s crap

[left orbit]

it’s what i say

well, i just added it

[whole path]

i remember a time when developers would optimize a game and not have large game sizes

i just pop in a disc and it just works

[left orbit]

1. kill the market that you don’t control or is expensive to control
2. offer the only alternative
3. make it expensive crap because you can

[hollow rapids]

i mean steam link on mobile at home stream from pc in same network not working how then streaming from world wide internet should work 😄

[mortal cove]

Man those pink glasses

[hollow rapids]

then i go to gym 😛

[mortal cove]

The tint is strong with this one

[left orbit]

yep there is this issue to solve for sure. but if those companies are happy with AI… then can pretty much drop the gaming industry

however

i kinda expect that if AI doesn’t work as well as planned they will just come back with "we’re committed to gamers plz buy our shit"

anyways

just speculation

[hollow rapids]

must they hunt get every year little better with the bug fixing. 2 years ago i got more crashes and 1 fps drops but its better now when join a compound. but think need a rly good cpu thats hunt eating more cpu as gpu ^^

[left orbit]

we need to hunt showdownulation

[mortal cove]

What's your hardware outside of the 5070ti?

[hollow rapids]

hate it that nvidia only focus now on AI and not for gamers

[heavy pewter]

sign. cant we just agree that its bad design? just a trick to get people to play a game mode that most people is not interested in?

[tall canopy]

while i dont like that mission either becuase i dont play clash at all, u cant make every mission to appeal to everyone. its one of so many missions u can complete during the event and im pretty sure the 10 bbs u would miss by not playing the mission will not decide if you can buy the next battlepass or not

[hollow rapids]

i dont like clash to but combine the 10 missions with the weapon damage missions 🙂

[mortal cove]

Hmmm.... have you tried enabling XMP in your BIOS yet?

[hollow rapids]

its enabled

[heavy pewter]

Its not about appeal. Its a bout BAD design. The amount of time i need to invest - in something that is not "the real game". Is stupid.

[hollow rapids]

but idk why windows launcher not working some times

[heavy pewter]

I could just do - like many seems to do - join game and leave. join and leave join and leave.

[mortal cove]

Well, that can't be, because HWInfo clearly states the memory is still running 2666 C19

Instead of 3600 C18 XMP

With a 2T command rate as well

So your memory is asleep at the wheel

[tall canopy]

no hdd?

[hollow rapids]

my 4tb is hdd
