hunt-general

[remote moss]

guess you can contest it and theyll check your gameplay

its not even fun bro

[whole mist]

I don’t think they have that much sway as people think

[remote moss]

you just see more rats

[lavish bear]

Its not fun thats true

But 6* isnt much better

FULL TEAM IN A BUSH

WITH MAYNARD

[remote moss]

look, theyre obviously just some dudes getting together after a bunch of 20 hour shifts and want to meme

[whole mist]

I ran past a full bush team with shotguns….i did not survive

[remote moss]

i forgive them as people

i do not forgive them as hunt players

[upbeat lark]

Leg gnawers

Leg munchers

[lavish bear]

Maynard players r actual goblins bro

[whole mist]

Leg munchers lol. That’s what imma call those types of players from now on

[remote moss]

i just run like 100m to the flank and snipe from the side

[dense sleet]

so many good berthier riposte skins in the contes

[remote moss]

its literally the best sniper play, i love having good sniper teammates that play like that too

lol

[dense sleet]

love to see it

[whole mist]

Js stay inside the lair. Their aim is usually buns anyways. They take 1 shot then go hide to reload for 2 min

[lavish bear]

I mean true

[remote moss]

You fool.

[lavish bear]

But they DONT GO AWAY

[whole mist]

Or rush them with specter fire👺

[remote moss]

Berthier riposte is long ammo that takes away from other neglected skins

[upbeat lark]

Unless when their aim isn't buns

[lavish bear]

I dont use shotguns

[remote moss]

they should never have added long ammo to the contest

😭

[whole mist]

Holy not cold

[dense sleet]

dont care

berthier has no nice skins atm that isnt moonflower

so im more than down for a good one

[remote moss]

moonflower is the only one i know of, ye

but i like it, its simple

[lavish bear]

BUTTTTTTT

[remote moss]

too many flashy complex skins

[dense sleet]

its the ONLY skin for the riposte

[lavish bear]

mosin

[dense sleet]

literally thats it

[remote moss]

GO FUCK MOSIN

GO MARRY IT

[lavish bear]

Im down

[whole mist]

are you telling me that you don’t run specter dragons breath + 3 hell fire bombs and conversion bleed? @lavish bear

[remote moss]

HAVE KIDS TOGETHER, CREATE THE MAUSER

or whatever

[dense sleet]

eh, only 2 skins for the mosin are good

[lavish bear]

No😭

[dense sleet]

centenary and Black Silk, all the rest are mid asf

[whole mist]

or secondary as bow with all concertina?

[remote moss]

i like the new chinese one and the shitty prestige 100, i guess

[lavish bear]

No i had kids with the mosin and a baby mosin obrez came out

[lavish bear]

P100 one is tuff

[remote moss]

how tf you finna let a mosin overpower your genes

weak

[lavish bear]

But im not going for p100 again

[whole mist]

Nah, your kid was the mosin match

[remote moss]

just made it shorter with no benefits

[dense sleet]

so is the match the one you dropped on its head?

[remote moss]

😭

[lavish bear]

The match is js like the down syndrome version

I don’t think anyone uses that thinng

[remote moss]

we dont talk about cousin timmy that way

[dense sleet]

im surprised that wasnt auto modded xD

[whole mist]

Hey, it’s got a deadeye scope variant tho

[lavish bear]

It shouldnt be

Crytek loves me

[dense sleet]

why i didnt say that like that, but it was absolutley the first thing t hat came to mind

[upbeat lark]

I just looked at some of them now that you said it

[remote moss]

well, making fun of mental illness is rough, yes

[upbeat lark]

God I love the Kris shaped bayonet of one submission

[dense sleet]

theres 3 or 4 id be MORE than happy to win

[remote moss]

[whole mist]

[lavish bear]

Yep

[dense sleet]

4K 120FPS all high/ultra no DLSS

[remote moss]

oh yeah, i could run re4 remake better than hunt

[dense sleet]

ill take it bro

games looks wonderful and its silky smooth

[whole mist]

Hollo. What’s your name ingame?

[spark plaza]

😭

[upbeat lark]

Can I request a Kris small knife skin

[whole mist]

😭

[lavish bear]

Some montages are cool

[desert acorn]

I picked my friend up, and he ran away from the door where he got shot. Like, still in the doorway, just further back. The sniper had sat there the whole 5 minutes.

[dense sleet]

fit just goes hard brah

[remote moss]

i dont see any good ones nowadays

[dense sleet]

you just hate you cant handle the neutron style

[lavish bear]

Only if sim would come back

[lavish bear]

What😭

[dense sleet]

this was honestly not too bad

[upbeat lark]

Painful is the better word

[dense sleet]

the last 30m hurt a LOT bc of the white highlights added

otherwise iw as legit just watching anime while getting tatted xD

[upbeat lark]

As someone who's scared of needles it looks insanely painful

[lavish bear]

Me personally i js get tattoos of all my body pillow waifus

[dense sleet]

my arm is almost done though, have another 8-10 hour session in 2w to finish my sleeve then i start on my neck

[lavish bear]

10 hours

Yeah nah bro

Valuable hunt time

[dense sleet]

im already nearly 25 hours deep xD

[whole mist]

Do you entire face👺

[upbeat lark]

Oh my goodness neck??

[dense sleet]

9 hours, 11.5, and ill be getting an 8 most likely on my arm

[lavish bear]

I couldnt sit there for 10 hours

[dense sleet]

and my neck will be around 15ish

[dense sleet]

i have my left arm almost fully sleeved, a small one on my right forearm, half my back and my left thigh done

[upbeat lark]

That's enough to binge 2 21 episode anime

Actually 1 and a half

[dense sleet]

bottom of chin all around and stops around my collar bone is my next plan

[upbeat lark]

My goodness

[whole mist]

I was going to make a joke

[lavish bear]

[dense sleet]

i want a lot more, i want nearly my whole body done xD

[lavish bear]

I feel like it js kinda ruins your look as a person with that many

[whole mist]

what kind of line of work u in?

[lavish bear]

But thats my opinion

[dense sleet]

eh

i hate myself enough where id rather people look at the tats than me xD

[whole mist]

[remote moss]

unresolved problems in the past, perfectly normal

destory people and utter the foulest words in your arsenal

[dense sleet]

sorry to hear that

ill be sure to stay away from you since im not a good example on the road

i was swerving pretty gnarly earlier on the freeway going the speed limit totally

[upbeat lark]

I bet you do wheelies on the highway

[lavish bear]

Hey

Thats illegal

[dense sleet]

pretty good guess

correct

i did one for a bunch of kids in the back of a van earlier and it was so worth it

[upbeat lark]

What a great experience for those kids

[lavish bear]

A bunch of kids in the back of a van💔

Tuff

[dense sleet]

im not very good at them while going above 60 so it was pretty scary for a moment

almost wiped out

[dense sleet]

never heard of a family van?

not a white van

[upbeat lark]

I thought those kids accept Candies

[lavish bear]

Isnt that those like

Weird looking ones

[dense sleet]

what do you classify as wierd?

[lavish bear]

Idk, irregular?💔

[dense sleet]

[upbeat lark]

Good night

Have a nice sleep

[lofty sinew]

all motorbikes go fast enough to kill you, and doing over 150 on public roads is akin to having a death wish

[upbeat lark]

I have not even go past 60

60 is the fastest I could bear to do without getting afraid

[lofty sinew]

wise. there is still more than enough danger at 60

I've gone to enough funerals anyway. I used to ride. Riding is fun. I took stupid risks. Lucky none of those funerals were mine.

[whole mist]

Question: so I was watching Psychoghost and noticed how nice and far the lights render on night maps…

What graphics setting would that be? View Distance ratio or view distance light sources?

[heady dove]

I've been getting back into hunt with my friend's revelation he actually can run the game (somehow), and I've just been thinking. what was the point of the engine update?

the game looks the same to me

[whole mist]

It looks noticeably “better”

[lofty sinew]

typically an engine update is done for more than 1 reason. It either enables new tech or makes life easier for devs doing existing work. I don't think it was primarily for graphics

but Crytek genuinely never divulges this sort of detail publicly

[whole mist]

I think it was all the above

[heady dove]

yeah but it's not like paradox games where the moment they move to their "newer" engine the game can have a lot more going on (unfortunately paradox really likes to leverage that, and the games end up performing worse. looking at you eu5)

when it released, performance was worse across the board

[lofty sinew]

sure, it was shifting years of legacy code to a new engine version

[whole mist]

Tbf, according to many way more knowledgeable than me on this stuff, the old engine was ancient to work with and outdated

[lofty sinew]

in that context i think "it mostly works" is the bar that is aimed for with the intention of improving things as you go

[normal kayak]

hunt players are so confusing

i was standing still and they miss completely

and then im jumping and they headshot me at 61m

[heady dove]

it's because they use iron sights in close quarters

iron sights are actually really hard to use in cq

at least for me

[normal kayak]

if someones standing completely still you should be able to hit that

its like he misses the easiest shot and just turns his brain on the hit me in the head midair

[lofty sinew]

it depends on your philosophy with regard to taking shots

I just shoot at people. the actually aiming part is way less common

[normal kayak]

dont say this to me again bro

[lofty sinew]

Why not. is it philosophically upsetting for some reason

an assumption inherent to my taking shots is that someone else is lining up my head at the same time I'm taking the shot

[normal kayak]

you shouldnt just miss a shot you could easily hit because youre scared someone else is trying to shoot you

[lofty sinew]

I shouldn't die at least 1/3 of the times I do. That doesn't stop me

[normal kayak]

it takes like an extra half second to move your mouse to hit head

instead of hitting the wall

[lofty sinew]

I do line up shots sometimes, but it's the rare exception to the rule

[icy bay]

Because he has a night filter on obs

[normal kayak]

its not even lining it up 60m away and im not moving

maybe if i was like sprinting yeah you would need a bit extra time

[lofty sinew]

and I definitely regularly mess up the easy shot and then somehow hit the second or third when they're suddenly moving. shrug

maybe they just fluffed the shot because they were trying to not miss the not-moving opportunity so hard they just fluffed it. it happens y'know

[whole furnace]

Enjoy your ban :)

[manic sinew]

Oh no what am I getting banned for

[lofty sinew]

man some of the words blocked by the word filter here. lawd

[manic sinew]

Oopsiess!!

[lofty sinew]

there is a rule WRT leaks and data mines

[manic sinew]

La la la! sadly

[lofty sinew]

I guess we are two weeks from finding out which version of whelmed to be about whatever is coming

[manic sinew]

Or just ask me

[lofty sinew]

I'm not sure I need to know in advance. I am fine with being whelmed in 2 weeks. knowing now aint gonna make the event come any sooner.

I'm also just not super invested. I am sure whatever it is will be fine. I am hopeful for Inferno dropping just because more variety in maps is always nice. Can't really imagine what else might come that is going to feel significant.

Why it's showing I killed 2 hunters within the same team? I though the red skull only shows when i kill the last surviving of the team

[hasty wharf]

it shows the red icon if you killed them, redskulling them. the first one of those two that you killed had no bars left

[desert acorn]

I'm glad trap kills count towards your hunter's xp

[desert acorn]

Nice. You guys were busy.

[lime mural]

Yeah it was a good game

[desert acorn]

I just got a bounty, and killed someone 4 compounds away. I'm a hunter... I tend to only fight when I need to.

Not sure why someone abandoned the butcher... but I didn't have witness, so I couldn't find a body.

Butcher is dangerous if there are barrel spawns

[lime mural]

Understood, Thanks!

[topaz valve]

I'm not really into joining the contest but someone really ought to make a rolling pin baseball bat skin.

[cloud timber]

Ya

[topaz valve]

I'm not saying it will win, but it COULD. Similar to the shovel, hitting someone with a rolling pin would just sound noice.

pretty sure there is

hello all, it is i

[heavy pewter]

I love how all tips is "ruin the game mode even more" :D

My exp from clash: Spend more time looking for team and looking for game than actually gameplay. And 1/3 games you get killed by [] [] [] [] [] and his friends [] [] and [] [] [] with spitzer ammo trough walls.

[opal dawn]

Then this will be done in a jiffy!

[normal radish]

hello i its venom

[opal dawn]

hello venom, it is i grug

[normal radish]

oh hello i grug

hows you doinz

[thin zodiac]

They say I ping abuse

[normal radish]

good news i finalkly managed to move my fingers today !

[opal dawn]

Hell yeah!

The tuff boi proves yet again he's tuff!

[heavy pewter]

Lets say you dont try to "ruin the game mode even more". The TIME you need to commit to "play 10 games of this shitty game mode" vs. "do 1000 dmg with x weapon" - thats also tracks on team mates. Its just rubbish design. :D

It screams "we need ppl to play clash even if they dont want to"

[normal radish]

yeh brothah soon i will rejoin the ranks of ambidextrous people agan

[normal radish]

the only one abused is your unlucky ass lmao

[normal radish]

i just ignore it in protest

i dislike this challenge

[opal dawn]

Landed a 115m headshot with the cyclone yesterday, felt nice tbh

[normal radish]

i shared a nasty headshot with lemarbine

did ya see it?

[opal dawn]

Nay! I have not seen this!

[normal radish]

see this you must ! one sec

[opal dawn]

Yes!!

[opal dawn]

Oh hell yeah, through a wall even! Bro gotta be questioning things

[normal radish]

yeh his pov is gonna be infuriating

i usually dont do angles like this but once in a while it feels nice

make enemies think "HOW THE FK DID HE MAKE THAT SHOT" feels aight ngl

[opal dawn]

That's why fmj and spitzer is good, cuz you can do a quick peak and try to do a headshot through the wall rather than direct LoS

[mortal cove]

That is indeed a very acceptable shot

[normal radish]

i mean there wasnt much choice for the guy on the recieving end other than acceptance

[mortal cove]

I enjoy the pixel crawl on the edges of the wooden boards

Subpaar anti-aliasing moment

[normal radish]

i think i have it like

oh its off

i have dlss on

it looks good enough for my current eyesight

[mortal cove]

With what preset?

[normal radish]

it says quality mode in hunt

[mortal cove]

Preset E vs K vs M/L makes a pretty huge difference

[normal radish]

hwat

[mortal cove]

No, the underlying machine learning model

Hunt uses the old DLSS 3.7.10 preset E CNN model

[normal radish]

oh that

[mortal cove]

[normal radish]

i didnt touch it

[mortal cove]

And then you can upgrade the model through the Nvidia app

To the much..... much much higher quality preset K transformer gen 1 or the even higher quality transformer gen 2 preset M or L models

[normal radish]

hmm one sec ill ping you again for enlightenment i need to take care of this big cat

[opal dawn]

You run preset M?

[mortal cove]

You should, preset M Performance looks better than Preset E in DLAA mode lmao

It's superior in pretty much every way

[mortal cove]

Yeah Generally looks the best at 4K imo
Though you need to absolutely have 0 additional sharpening in your game

Preset M looks oversharpened with any additional sharpener applied

In games like God of War Ragnarok you actually need to modify the exe to remove the sharpener that gets applied at all times lmao

[opal dawn]

Would you recommend it for a 2K monitor?

[opal dawn]

That's stupid lmao

[mortal cove]

Welcome to gaming in 2026

We got so used to applying sharpening to make TAA less blurry, that it actually hurts DLSS now

Because the upscaler has gotten so good at resolving detail out of the box without any sharpening

[opal dawn]

I run sharpening at 0.1 at DLSS Quality, anything else looks a little strange to me

Out of the box sharpening in Kingdom Come 2 was also horrendous

[mortal cove]

Trust me, preset M is so much sharper than preset K, that you don't need any sharpening whatsoever

lmao

But preset M and L change a few things about how DLSS works on a fundemental level

Beyond just a superior Machine Learning model

But be aware, preset M and L are a lot more costly on a 20- and 30-series GPU than 40- or 50-series

[opal dawn]

I have a 4090 so shouldn't be too bad

[mortal cove]

So it would be good to know what GPU you're rocking @normal radish

[mortal cove]

Ouh yeah, on a 4090 at 1440p the additional cost of preset M and L is negligable

@opal dawn

4090 goes from 0.54ms to 0.64ms using DLSS Performance comparing preset K and M at 1440p

xd

[opal dawn]

That sounds manageable

[mortal cove]

But no seriously upgrade to preset M

Strong af improvement in Hunt

[opal dawn]

I will!

Does it also help reduce the shimmering issues on tress?

That's one of the more annoying aspects on my current settings

[mortal cove]

Foliage is one of the biggest improvements with DLSS preset M

[opal dawn]

All right, then that settles it, Preset M it is

Thank you!

[mortal cove]

I picked a Hunter that shows the improvements off pretty well imo.
This is preset M

Preset K

The original 3.7.10 preset E

[errant orbit]

Good day all

[opal dawn]

That is a big difference holy

[mortal cove]

It's instantly noticable how much sharper her rope hair is @opal dawn ESPECIALLY the tips at the end are so clear and perfectly resolved

[opal dawn]

I don't see that much between M & K but E...

[mortal cove]

Compare her hair between preset M and K

You can also see how much clearer the straw is on the hand that grabs the Drilling RIfle

[normal radish]

aight

[mortal cove]

Comparing M and K

[normal radish]

im back

i seek enlightenment

[opal dawn]

Oh yeah, I see it now

[normal radish]

so about my gpu i have a 3050 laptop i mainly use

and a 3080 on pc that i rarely get to use

so my main usage is the 3050 one

[mortal cove]

If you look at the buttstock on the Drilling, you can also see how much better preset M resolves the golden markings on it

[normal radish]

how do i go about this preset thingy

[mortal cove]

On the 3050 laptop I would definitely upgrade to preset K at most Preset M has a pretty hefty performance penalty on GPUs that aren't 40- or 50-series

On a 3080 and 3090 I'd say preset M is not as bad, but below that it's pretty bad of a penalty

[normal radish]

hmm

[lofty sinew]

gonna depend what res you're running but i suspect a laptop 3050 doesn't need the extra work

[normal radish]

https://tenor.com/view/what-do-i-do-what-what-do-confused-not-sure-gif-22491463

[mortal cove]

@woven cape Has a Desktop 3090 and the performance impact of preset M in Hunt is managable from what he has told me, even if very noticable

[normal radish]

so i should update my driver first, look into presets

[mortal cove]

Even at 1080p, preset M is quite punishing on that older low end hardware

[normal radish]

and change it to K on laptop

[lofty sinew]

the difference between K and M just doesn't seem big enough to accept a significant performance hit for to me. no brainer if you're on 40/50 series

[mortal cove]

In actual gameplay and ESPECIALLY in movement, preset M stomps preset K

Especially for a game as foliage heavy and heavy on high frequency detail as Hunt

Preset M is a pretty significant upgrade in practice

[lofty sinew]

if you're already on the cusp of unacceptable average frames though surely not

[grave rose]

lotta tech talk goin around

[mortal cove]

As said though, if you aren't on a 3090 or 40-/50-series card, the additional performance cost can be hard to justify.

Like on a 3050 laptop preset M will likely cut your frames in half vs preset E While preset K will be a rather small and managable impact in comparison

[normal radish]

aight i have changed it to preset k, lets see if your ball knowledge is on point thanks you for your suggestions anyway if you were trollig me

[mortal cove]

Preset K is an extremely signifcant upgrade from preset E

Preset M is just another major improvement on top of that

[lofty sinew]

Luu obviously cares about this stuff, idk where you would ever get the impression they were trolling

[normal radish]

well lets see if its noticable on my hardwar

do i need to change the in game setting to anything?

[mortal cove]

To the point where i have convinced others about caring a bit more as well on this very Discord time and time again

[mortal cove]

Nope, if you override to preset K in the Nvidia app, then Hunt will already have it applied the moment you have DLSS enabled

[normal radish]

https://tenor.com/view/alright-thanks-dawg-bro-appreciate-it-gif-14519607

[opal dawn]

Just make sure you disable sharpening

[normal radish]

yall sharpen your games? i thought we only sharpen knives and stuff

[opal dawn]

The GPU will fit one way or the other

[normal radish]

turning your gpu into a pdw

[mortal cove]

Another major improvement of preset M @opal dawn Look how much more defined the specular highlights are on the red band holding together the mistletoe

Ah shit

I made a mistake

That's preset K vs preset E

lmao

[normal radish]

aight your ball knowledge is confirmed this shit is noticably better

[mortal cove]

This is preset M vs preset K now

You can also tell the rope knots look noticably sharper and well defined with less artifacting

[opal dawn]

Even the straws are sharper

[normal radish]

hmm i see

but this is not good on 3050?

[lofty sinew]

now you have even less excuse for not spotting that reptile hiding in that shrub

[mortal cove]

Like if you look at the first strands of the mistletoe right after the red band, you can tell preset K kind of mushes those together @opal dawn

Preset M just resolves those perfectly

Those are the differences preset M majorly pummels preset K in And those make a pretty big difference in actual gameplay too, as preset K can sometimes mush a Hunter into a bush... still better than using 2TX SMAA, but still not perfect

Preset M just resolves it

It works

No artifacts

[mortal cove]

Preset M will have a very high performance cost over preset K on the 3050

[royal cloak]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cat-meme-funny-cat-eating-cat-meow-meow-meow-gif-13242623359034208464

[mortal cove]

Arguably in Hunt preset M Performance looks better than preset K Quality, but I don't think that's enough to offset the higher cost of preset M on the 3050 @normal radish

[normal radish]

yeh i wouldnt want it to ruin my already ruined fps

further

[opal dawn]

That is very good, one of the gripes I have with Hunt as it is

[normal radish]

any idea about tarkov?

[mortal cove]

You will probably instantly notice those improvements with preset M vs preset K

I am 1000% sure about that

[normal radish]

that game gives me headaches sometimes with how it looks vs how it performs

[mortal cove]

It will probably also make you more willing to upscale more for higher fps lmao @opal dawn

[opal dawn]

I do want my frames!

[mortal cove]

Also 4090 for 1440p is nutty

[opal dawn]

I know, I just couldn't bring myself to ruin my already ruined standards. 480mhz monitor, now to top it off with 4K. I've learned my lessons

[mortal cove]

lmao

I have been gaming at 4K since 2019

[opal dawn]

Used to have 60fps as the bare minimum, then 75, then 120. Now 120 is my bare minimum

[mortal cove]

Back when I owned my 2080ti and DLSS was not anywhere NEAR where it is today

Those were the days

[normal radish]

you can rewire your brain in 10 minutes

[opal dawn]

Could you inform my brain of this?

[mortal cove]

Been on 4K120Hz OLED for a few years

Then I made the mistake of going 4K240Hz OLED in 2024

lmao

[normal radish]

yes, just play any game on 30 fps for 10 minutes

[mortal cove]

120 to 240Hz ruined me badly

[normal radish]

then you can switch to ANY frame above it and you will find bliss

[mortal cove]

All my fps thresholds doubled

[normal radish]

its all temporary

[mortal cove]

My minimum viable playability threshold went from 40fps with 120Hz to 80fps with 240Hz

[normal radish]

my minimum is dynamic

[mortal cove]

And the feel good zone went from 90fps to 180fps

[tall canopy]

i still dont know how i could play hunt with 60fps some years ago and thought, yes, thats good

[mortal cove]

Me when I played on a GTX 1080 at 1440p back in 2018

And thought 50fps with heavy stutters was playable

[tall canopy]

i discovered earning money and buying new parts give more fps

ruined me

[normal radish]

i still do

[normal kayak]

💔

[tall canopy]

i didnt know a fps counter back then. i just played. good times tbh

but i also "just" had a 970 and a 2700 back then

[plucky quartz]

battle pass coming in middle of march?

[tall canopy]

oh not even a 2700

[tall canopy]

someday in march. we dont know when

[plucky quartz]

you're all-seeing, you know everything

[tall canopy]

my all seeing eyes say a new event is coming in march 🪄

[mortal cove]

Enough time to absolutely devour Resident Evil 9 before the new event starts

[plucky quartz]

[normal radish]

2 at most

[mortal cove]

You know it will happen and fast @tall canopy

[mortal cove]

Seems like a realistic estimate

[drowsy wharf]

They'll probably include a skin at release

They know the playerbase

[tall canopy]

maybe someone will crack the game before release and create the mod for release

[normal radish]

maybe three if they want to make it detailed and with sweat and stuff

[drowsy wharf]

man boobs

[plucky quartz]

These guys are not so easy to crack

[tall canopy]

Life finds a way

[plucky quartz]

This can't be happening.

[mortal cove]

I mean, some PS5 gamers already finished RE9

[normal kayak]

when it penitent getting jiggle physics bro

[mortal cove]

Physical PS5 copies of RE9 leaked out a week ago

[tall canopy]

there you go, life found its way

[mortal cove]

Luckily it seems people have the decency to not spoiler the everloving shit out of the game

Which is rare on the internet

[tall canopy]

yet

[mortal cove]

Which means one of 2 things

[tall canopy]

but i heard ||someone ||dies

[mortal cove]

Either it‘s so insanely mid spoiling it is boring (arguably the worst case)

[plucky quartz]

Just play on your computer and everything will be fine

[mortal cove]

Or it‘s so good people actually want others to experience it themselves

[tall canopy]

someone will surely leak it

[light sky]

Someone just spoiled me

They just texted me out the nowhere

[plucky quartz]

u lord of hunt?

[light sky]

Just to fucking spoiler me

[light sky]

No

[mortal cove]

Wait for real?

[light sky]

Yes

[plucky quartz]

pls don't ban me, i'am pretty

[mortal cove]

What a sad person do you have to be to spoil RE9 like that?

[light sky]

What are you on about

[plucky quartz]

It's obvious that you've come for me.

[light sky]

I already knew half of the spoiler bc, I was expecting it

But the other half I didn't know and that really really pissed me off

[mortal cove]

See, I just turn the speculative part of my brain off until a game release so I don‘t expect anything

Even with my favorite game of all time Alan Wake 2 I could shut that part of my brain off until I got my hands on it

[light sky]

I was so close to block that guy and ban him from every group we are in

But, I just holded in

Surprisingly

[mortal cove]

but man, the moment Alan spoke his first words, the noggin’ was running in overdrive

[thin zodiac]

Damn best wallbang in a while

I am luckily still spoiler free

Outside of what the trailers showcased

But knowing the director is the same as RE7, I reckon the trailers showed off very little in reality

What if I tell you ||ajdjfjfjsjajskdjddhjsjdjdhdhshshhdhdhshsjdjdhdhhd||

[mortal cove]

No! Impossible!

[mortal cove]

but yeah, only 4 more days

[light sky]

Yup

[mortal cove]

My 5090 is yearning to trace them rays in RE9

[light sky]

Anyway, Hunt Showdown is such a good game

Amarite

[mortal cove]

needs Raytracing imo

[light sky]

Meh

[mortal cove]

This post was brought to you by 5090 gang

[mortal cove]

You can make highly performance efficient Raytracing solutions these days

Pragmata demo uses RTGI and RT reflections and runs at 4K120 locked with DLAA on the 5090

The days of Raytracing absolutely nuking your performance the moment you even think about enabling it are over

If the developer puts their mind to it

[fathom shale]

I just don't see the point in them spending resources on adding it to Hunt, lighting looks good as is and even games that were partnering with nvidia when they did they original big RTX push didn't bother adding raytracing in their newest title (BF6)

[mortal cove]

BF6 is the exception though

And the game looks last gen as a result

[fathom shale]

There's like a 100 things they could and should do when it comes to the engine and game itself until I'd say yeah sure go for it and add raytracing for whatever reason

[mortal cove]

Also Hunt is probably one of the easiest games to transition for Hardware Raytracing acceleration

[fathom shale]

And who cares?

Hate the whole "gen" argument

[mortal cove]

Hunt already uses a Conetraced lighting model

[fathom shale]

Gameplay and game feel first, eye candy second

[mortal cove]

You can upgrade Hunt's lighting by simply making the Conetracing worldspace instead of screenspace as it is right now.

And I am confident that on a semi modern GPU, worldspace conetracing with Hardware acceleration is the same or maybe even better performance than screenspace conetracing on GPU shaders (as it is in Hunt RIGHT NOW)

[mortal cove]

Well, I am of the opinion the screenspace artifacts of the Conetraced lighting in Hunt is a detriment to that very gameplay.

Only argument you can make in regards to that is that everyone is equally handycapped by it

As said though, Hunt already has a lighting model that favors hardware RT acceleration when transitioned to worldspace.

The greatest argument you can make with not going with hardware accelerated Raytracing YET is that it would drive the minimum specs up to a 2050 Laptop / RX 6500XT, as those are the lowest end GPUs avaible with hardware acceleration capability for Raytracing. @fathom shale

That's a feature argument that is fair

[soft marten]

https://tenor.com/view/hunt-hunt-showdown-get-on-hunt-hunt-meme-hunt-showdown-meme-gif-8294435062893133032

[mortal cove]

Agreed

[red pewter]

Does hunt still have the latency issue with telecom networks?

[soft marten]

what ?

okay what did i miss ?

[red pewter]

ah, maybe 2 months back there were some latency issues if you had a telecom network provider, I was wondering if it was fixed or if there was still an issue with it

[upbeat lark]

my god all the berthy riposte skin in the submission is good

theres about 5 that i would love them to add

[normal radish]

50% are bats

30% berths

15% lemarbine, and the rest is rest

[urban steppe]

Did hunt get an optimization fix or something

I'm suddenly getting 120 fps on mammons

that's never happened WTF

[hazy crest]

Wow I thought they had restricted it to those weapons for some reason but no everyone is just posting the same weapons

Why so many bat entries. We already have quite a few skins for it and it’s not a very interesting weapon

[hazy crest]

Was your lobby empty?

[urban steppe]

no someone just banished

[normal kayak]

no its restricted to those weapons

[urban steppe]

Dude I'm so confused, both games I've played today

I've had over 100 fps

when I normally only have 40-50

I god damn missed every shot the first match cause of how smooth the game was

[normal kayak]

its in the more info link not in the guidelines here

[urban steppe]

Did the game update or something

I didn't touch hunt for a month cause I was in china for a funeral / cny

[hazy crest]

Why is this not in the contest guidelines and you have to go out of discord to see it

That’s silly

[urban steppe]

never had 3 digit frames since 1896 dropped

wtf did they fix in a month

[normal kayak]

not sure lmao

i really hope a berthier skin wins

its the only thing out of these weapons ill actually use

and we have enough baseball bat skins

[hazy crest]

Just make the berth riposte skin from the PvP event available for BBs

They already have the asset

[normal kayak]

not many people use most of these weapons actually

like i see the springfield and lemat every now and then

thats it

i suppose i do see nagant P but thats only on free hunters where they couldnt use a skin anyway

[hazy crest]

I use the Lemat carbine and spring marksman somewhat regularly

[lofty sinew]

you might want to mention your region

[hazy crest]

Specter bayonet is just bad

[lofty sinew]

as "telecom network" is so generic it means almost nothing

woops. meant to reply to. whatever.

[normal kayak]

which pisses me off so much

its just a downgrade for no reason lmao

all you get is a bayonet which is like

its a shotgun bro

it doesnt need more cqc options

unless youre prone to not bringing a tool for killing grunts idk

still doesnt justify it being shit

[normal radish]

its used mainly for ai

[dusty gorge]

isnt spectre very comparable to romero, i don't want a romero with a bayonet...

[hazy crest]

No other melee attachment in the game affects ballistics

[normal radish]

its much easier and stealthier to kill ai with bayonet

specte bayonet used to be different almost entirely from longpecter lol

[dusty gorge]

I like the idea of being able to slightly adjust the spread by slapping on that bayonet

[flint jetty]

Lol I love when I'm fighting for the bounty and I get a lightbulb moment for a escape route and we get away Scott free

It's best when you hear the gunshots behind you

[hazy crest]

Boo

Fight people

[normal kayak]

yeah but it makes the specter work way less against enemy hunters

[flint jetty]

Yeah but I like guaranteed money and W

[normal kayak]

booooooooo

[flint jetty]

Glory don't matter with a bullet in your hed

[normal kayak]

boooooooo

[mortal cove]

Maybe you enabled upscaling?

[flint jetty]

Also btw I'm loving the Springfield sniper

[urban steppe]

that's a thing?

huh

[flint jetty]

With da scope

[normal kayak]

why is it that when i mention springfield marksman isnt very common suddenly everyone likes it

[flint jetty]

Sure you don't get the wall bangs but you get dum dums and much cheaper

Than like a maynard

[mortal cove]

hunt has been supporting DLSS and FSR upscaling since patch 2.0 / the 1896 relaunch

[urban steppe]

😹

Have I been playing wrong

the whole time

[flint jetty]

I liked it when I got the hayali dlc and gave it a try

[mortal cove]

What‘s your hardware and game settings?

[flint jetty]

Also 38 coins is crazy

[urban steppe]

3050 on a laptop
I was using 1150 X something before

Didn't play hunt for a month cause of a funeral + cny

was abroad

just booted it up annnnd my frames are 2X what they were before

wtf happened

[normal kayak]

depends on who you ask tbh

some people will tell you DLSS is a godsend and others genuinely seem to despise it

i would try using it and see if you like it or not

[mortal cove]

Tbf, most people who say the latter have used really old versions of it and never touched it again

[urban steppe]

I think this is good enough

bumped up the graphics to 1400 dor 80-90 fps

[mortal cove]

Please… go up to your native laptop resolution and enable DLSS instead

Use the override to upgrade to preset K and enjoy life

[urban steppe]

ok

[urban steppe]

I'd assume

this is it

[mortal cove]

Set upscaling sharpness to 0 and start from DLSS Quality mode

[urban steppe]

ok

[mortal cove]

If you want more fps or a sharper image, you can still bump it to DLSS Balanced and sharpness to 0.1

[mortal cove]

Make sure to go into the Nvidia app as well to override DLSS to the preset K model

[urban steppe]

Gotcha

[urban steppe]

ok

[mortal cove]

Arguably even DLSS in performance mode at your native monitor resolution will look substantially better than lowering the resolution of your monitor itself

[urban steppe]

gotcha

[acoustic yoke]

What are the best hours to play for a US W player?

[random nimbus]

[slow thunder]

What would you consider best

The most players?
The worst players?
The least players?

[acoustic yoke]

Best chance of getting competent teammates who communicate.

[slow thunder]

Oh that is a tough one

[astral moss]

Lol there is no hour for that.

[acoustic yoke]

I’m just looking for people who actually talk

[slow thunder]

I uhh
Guess you have to go for the deep night, where people are too sleep deprived to argue but not too sleepy to be weird?

But ye, I wouldn't count on randoms to do the talking

[astral moss]

Counting on random mate in big 2026. 🗿

[slow thunder]

Well I mean, you can count on them!
Just... Not in talking

[acoustic yoke]

Hard to find good teammates at 2 star.

[fathom shale]

I played 3 matches with randoms just now and 2 out of the 3 were great

Although in the last match one DCd after getting downed and ressed 2-3 times

But they weren't needed in the end, we handled the 2v6 just fine

[astral moss]

[slow thunder]

You are genuinely blessed by RNG gods in teammate department, you are an outlier and will not be counted

[acoustic yoke]

What?

[astral moss]

No offense but i think nobody is good in 2 star.

[acoustic yoke]

That’s what I’m saying. I’m trying to get back tj 3 star because that’s where actually decent teammates are.

[astral moss]

[fathom shale]

I just think that whoever complains about randoms has the power to make the experience better themselves, if the good vibes are established in the beginning then the match will be fun regardless of the outcome

[slow thunder]

Go solo and rawdog it for a bit?

[slow thunder]

Also very true

[fathom shale]

A bit of banter or even just saying hi at the beginning already makes the match a lot better, assuming they respond that is I guess

[acoustic yoke]

I did that recently. Camped an extract and took a bounty. Worst and best feelin in the world.

[fathom shale]

But even then you can just goof about it a bit

[astral moss]

Or just use them as bait and play as you were solo.

[fathom shale]

Nahh I'm not cringe like that

[astral moss]

[slow thunder]

"Greetings gentlemen, what a lovely weather we're having, shall we proceed to win over that beast?"

Improved if it is during rain

[acoustic yoke]

Good vibes when you’re the only one in the team who talks? At that point I’m just talking to a wall.

[astral moss]

idk but it sound like the easiest outcome to his problem.

[slow thunder]

Sometimes you gotta talk to the wall
Maybe someone on the other side will listen

[tall canopy]

man u must be fun as a (random) teammate

[fathom shale]

Even if a random doesn't respond they might be more inclined to listen to you and help you out if you are still nice to them

Obviously there will be some outliers

But I've had people who say nothing all match and in the end are chill in the text chat as we extract

[acoustic yoke]

Problem with being the only teammate who talks is that you feel like an jerk bossing others around. But if you stay quiet, everyone loses.

[astral moss]

I know right, at least i am not a nuisance, as some random team mate are.

[slow thunder]

Or roleplay as the lead for a squad of mute assassins

[tall canopy]

surely

[slow thunder]

If they react to your words at all, by shaking their gun, for example, you've established communication

[acoustic yoke]

Communication in this game is different from team games like War of Rights or Hell Let Loose. Here, it’s more intimate. But in War of Rights or Hell Let Loose people dgaf if the idiot they’re yelling at is mute.

[fathom shale]

You don't have to "boss" them around, one match I had the teammates go for gunshots next to a banish in the opposite direction of the extract and I just let them know "Hey if we stay here the bounty will run away" and started heading to the banish myself with a couple of pings

And they followed me in the end

We did die tho anyways

[astral moss]

They follow you ???

Are you sure you are playing hunt ?

[acoustic yoke]

Do US E servers have consistently more English speakers than US W?

[slow thunder]

You underestimate diiba's charisma

[tall canopy]

no theyre just nice to their teammates

[acoustic yoke]

Maybe I have to play US E more.

[fathom shale]

https://tenor.com/view/hey-spiderman-miles-morales-cool-gif-16115338

[astral moss]

Man, Diiba president.

[slow thunder]

I'd vote

[acoustic yoke]

I get so many SEA players in US W

[astral moss]

I am neutral in the team so i don't take this critic.

[acoustic yoke]

I’m still looking for English speaking US teammates btw

Also I feel like people don’t use the lobby chat anymore since the UI update. I keep asking in lobby if people understand me and nobody answers. At least with the old UI, the chat would pop up as soon as it received something.

[astral moss]

Or just nobody want to talk.

[errant orbit]

what teammates have you been cursed with omg

i talk to them and if they speak any english we will at least move from point a to point b and c

btw whoever traps extractions like a madman, GO OUTSIDE and heal your soul 😭

but lord have mercy i see wiretraps more then my family

[errant orbit]

the gameplay i just saw actually made me realize im doing well holy shit

im in pain from what i witnessed

[errant orbit]

im down for trios yeah

duos are sweaty as far i noticed

tbh with the teammtes trio matchmaking gives me it might as well be a duo or solo -.-

LMAO I GOT THE SAME GUYS AS LAST GAME

OH NO

HAHAHAH

this is actually funny

sadly the guy who shoots immolators from 1 meter doesnt speak english so this is a doomed run 💀

[wheat elm]

Actually maybe later if you're still up for it, i think imma nap or something

[untold stag]

i gave them mail nut they don't answer.

[cunning mortar]

this game is cooked

[grave rose]

what are ya complainin about now

[errant orbit]

sure im having absolute shit games so im gonna be off for today this is just ridicoulus

[tidal bone]

Howdy! Years back crytek changed the hunter death sounds for about two weeks or so. They sounded like Homer's "doh", there was a lot of backlash and got reverted fast enough. Does anybody have a clip of those?

[untold stag]

well. i gave them mails a while ago, but no answer, and it's been months

[radiant karma]

This?

[tidal bone]

I think that's just someone's impression of the sounds that have always been there. I refer to this:

[radiant karma]

I can't find any that sound homer. Only older ones but they just sound quieter

I'm sure you just need to find a vod from a streamer that played during the period this would've been in to find it

[tidal bone]

Yeah, thank you for looking it up. I also searched extensively before asking here. But I vividly remember how absurd it was and how much people hated those. Also the female ones were a bit different.

[tidal bone]

Good idea, thank you. I need to check when that was. Probably around beta.

[radiant karma]

I only ever knew the ones that exist today

[tidal bone]

Yes, they were the same ones (probably with minor changes in volume) since alpha. Then crytek changed them for no reason and the change lasted two weeks. I started playing when Lawson Delta got released and this happened not long after.

[void storm]

You're 100% correct that they did this, there's evidence in the server that it was updated and then reverted shortly after back in 2019

[upbeat lark]

thats one perfectly timed cut

[void storm]

I remember it myself. It wasn't like Homer though, the best way to describe it is it felt like someone doing a poor impression of the original death sounds

[tidal bone]

To me it sounded like Homer, cracked me up first time I heard it. Of course it's subjective, I just want to remind myself how absurd it was but can't find it anywhere. Good to know it was bundled with a new UI 6yrs ago, that would narrow it down.

[wraith forum]

death sounds need to change for real

[void storm]

I'm trying to find it too, I may have a method

[wraith forum]

no one yelps twice upon dying

[void storm]

So I'll brb

[wraith forum]

its one yelp

imho.

[tidal bone]

Thank you!

[tidal bone]

it's done for clarity; the sound is very important in this game, so a bit of affirmation between "was hit for a lot" and "has died" helps a lot. It's also the reason why all chains, crows, horses, bosses, etc, sound the same, not procedural.

[errant orbit]

tbh i keep thinking the hit grunts are dead grunts, its annoying

i thought ppl only grunt upon death

getting used to it tho

There you go

Clipped from an old Crytek stream

[raven rune]

oh god it really does sound like homer

[wheat leaf]

when new eveeeeeeeeeeeent

[tidal bone]

Thank you so much! Got me laughing 😄

[void storm]

I love how the top comment on the video says the same

"I don't like the new male death sound, it sounds like Homer Simpson."

[tidal bone]

Main issue imo is that it's just a single sound, not two folded as it was/is. But hearing Homer in it didn't help for reception neither

[void storm]

What's funny is that I looked back in time and people also complained about the current death sound when it first came out, saying it was cartoonish and unrealistic

I imagine Crytek was like "nah, y'all cried once already, you don't get another" lol

[tidal bone]

yeah, good or bad, the sounds also have gameplay implications, we're just too used to them. I personally like the death sounds. And yes, makes no sense to yelp a second time after getting headshot. But so many other things are video game logic, I'll let it pass.

[void storm]

But personally I think the audio is perfect now. It's very distinct when you get a death vs. just some pain inflicted, and headshots are also very easy to discern

And that's all that matters in a sound based game

[tidal bone]

Agreed. Crytek cooked with their sound design. I really want to see their sound studio or at least what compressors/amplifiers they use. No other game comes close, especially multiplayer

[void storm]

The original death sounds were kinda metal though, it sounded like the hunter exhaling their final breath and choking on blood. It wasn't as distinct but I feel like it could work if brought back for melee kills or something

[tidal bone]

Not sure I know what you refer to. I only know the current ones and Homer.

[void storm]

One sec

[fresh turret]

I bet teasers for the next even start rolling in this week. Thoughts?

[upbeat lark]

i wish its teased soon

[void storm]

@tidal bone

[tidal bone]

Thank you, that's very interesting! The death sounds similar to how it is now, a little less pronounced, especially the second part. The grunts sound borderline comical for me. Looking at how it has two bosses, I would've already been playing the game but can't remember them changing it. Good to know!

[upbeat lark]

oh my the old ui

the look of the burn is quite cool

[proven raptor]

People will look at the game looking like playdough and say "that's what we want again".

Also damn thick fog.

[stone basin]

if that is playdough graphics we are doomed

[raven rune]

i mean it doesnt look like playdough and thats on console anyway

[void storm]

I'm convinced people who call graphics like that bad have never played a game prior to 2005

[raven rune]

well in some cases, original crysis still looks better than some modern games

which is.. pretty insane

[tidal bone]

Cryengine is great, some of the best visual fidelity out there. You can see it in Kingdom Come: Deliverance as well (especially 2). Just don't ask for anything physics related

[void storm]

That's also a funny case where it looked even better on console when it first came out

Because iirc, the PC release was on CryEngine 2, but 360 was on 3

[fathom shale]

There are tech demos of Cryengine being great for physics too though, just not many games on it are physics based

[tidal bone]

Tech demos are showcasing just that. I was at a lecture from a lead KCD2 dev recently and they said exactly that: looks great, just don't do physics. Navigating vertically in Hunt makes me trust them 😅

[raven rune]

ill never forget the old cryengine showcases where they just spawned a million explosive barrels in the crysis map and blew em up

[void storm]

What's honestly insane is just the massive leap in such a short time by Crytek with their engines. Doom 3 came out in 2004 and was considered state of the art, nothing looked quite as good. The fact Crysis was only 3 years later and if you compare the two, it looks like a 10 year leap is just insane.

[raven rune]

or just blowing up the shacks

[void storm]

CryEngine 2 was just insane

[fathom shale]

How is vertical movement related? Also tech demos show what an engine is capable of, it's up to the devs to properly do their own implementation of what they need

I doubt Cryengine is the limiting factor to how well it can do physics

[tidal bone]

Certain engines are better at some aspects. Godot, for example is not that good with physics, which is why it's preferred for 2d games, tho more than capable of 3D.

[uneven flax]

is it just me or im getting destroyed left and right the entire day 😭

[fathom shale]

Godot literally has Jolt built into it now which is a triple A level physics engine used by horizon zero dawn devs

[tidal bone]

physics (gravity) tells the hunter to fall, but the ticks for checking whether they're "on the floor" happen too rarely (1s?) and that's why there's big discrepancy in fall damage

[fathom shale]

And that is relevant to physics specifically rather than multiplayer/server side syncing how exactly though? Everyone knows Hunt has issues with desync with falling off things and such, that's not due to physics though

[tidal bone]

Yes, jolt is great and still the framework surrounding it doesn't allow for the best implementation. Guerilla have their own implementation in a proprietary engine, it's not the same

[tidal bone]

I could prove you wrong, but crytek removed the free roam on the map so I can't do it with 0 ping anymore.

[fathom shale]

I guess I'll just agree to disagree, I have not seen any issues with physics in Godot since Jolt was available and even less so when they added interpolation options for physics, and cryengine as well can easily do physics if the devs want to implement physics

[fathom shale]

Fun fact, it still technically was on a server, it was just a locally hosted server on your machine so there was some overhead
