@devout forum Customs to begin your questing, interchange/shorline cache runs for money.
if you're gonna scav use it on shore or interchange.

I scav on factory because it's quick and get keycard pretty often and fuck looting sloppy seconds plus none of it contribute to PMC skills

i just ran factory with a toz and killed a level 25 with killa armour and a modded p90
steady pilot
I do not recommend factory for a beginner. but do as you please.
clear stag
Factory is definitely good for a beginner, it's so small, easy to learn
slim quest
pepsan, the difference between you and beginners

oh so if someone loads into customs with some crazy armor theres nothing i can even do?

and every other map was overwhelming to me, while factory was easy
slim quest
wrong person, but not all beginners have the same experience with the map
steady pilot
factory can't even be considered a map.
it's a pvp nuthouse and a good way to lose all your kit in 1 hour
i seen so many new pleayers that literally come in here "help i have no money!" well what map did you run? "factory."
timber dock
@karmic orbit there's plenty you can do. You can avoid them or you can make sure you're not using bad ammo and ambush them on your terms.

@clear stag your experience is rare amongst beginners.
slim quest
@versed quarry welcome as well, #521628660298678283 and #news-setup for full discord access
and tbh customs is also hit or miss, lots of players express frustrations going for the objectives for tasks
@clear stag not saying you are wrong about how it went for you, it's just delta is right. We see a lot of players lose everything there and not know why
formal wagon
@steady pilot you think its fine just going cheap mosin and 7n bullets?
steady pilot
well i KNOW why
slim quest
factory is meant for high action pvp
versed quarry
thank you and yeah true ive just bought the game today and my friend says custom is a good map to start
steady pilot
@formal wagon 7n1 and mosin? yeeah it works good.
clear stag
I was lost for a good 3 days on customs before I learned where the fuck I was going
slim quest
customs is great for pushing tasks but you have to know the map
which means lots of offline raids to get extractions down
steady pilot
@clear stag did you get a detailed wiki map and explore offline mode first?
clear stag
yes
steady pilot
and it took you 3days.
clear stag
Yep
steady pilot
i see.
hexed basalt
lol lasted all of 2mins in a map and already get killed
steady pilot
Customs is a very linear map with several choke points.
if you think customs is difficult....uhh well...
slim quest
it's gonna vary from person to person, but generally good starting maps are interchange, shore, and customs depending on what you want to accomplish and base skill with games like this.
clear stag
It was difficult because I was constantly getting killed out of nowhere bro
craggy ibex
i really dislike customs i seem to always get lost there
slim quest
yeah that's customs
steady pilot
People learn spawns
slim quest
gotta know where players are going

ive been grinding customs and i always die to people caming extractions
craggy ibex
on Shoreline i somehow feel right at home
icy summit
Hah, very interesting what you say, Gutz.
steady pilot
Here's a tip. Think about your spawn. Think about the next closest spawn that someone else could spawn at. What path would you take if you were that person? Boom figured out more than half of player base movements because everyone is human and highly predictable. @clear stag

Took me so long until I learned about the snipers on the rooftops in customs

is that a legit strategy?, camping extractions seems soo boring and cheesy
timber dock
I don't think I've ever seen anyone camp extractions on Customs..
hollow niche
i guess im unlucky
steady pilot
@hollow niche anything goes in tarkov.
hollow niche
its always by dorm extract
slim quest
delta, decent 2x or 4x scope
timber dock
Dorm extract? 😮 The car?
steady pilot
the moment you spawn and the the last second during extraction, you are not safe.
hollow niche
yea
timber dock
Well, going anywhere near Dorms is kind of suicidal most times.
steady pilot
^
timber dock
That's not them camping the extract.
celest condor
sounds like setting up an ambush at that end of dorms to me.
slim quest
that's them fighting near dorms
hollow niche
i know dorms is really hot but it happens someoone is laying near the outskirts of dorms and jump up and pop me
slim quest
made the mistake of watching a youtuber show a starting raid, rushes dorms
tried it and died
steady pilot
extract camping is camping the MAIN extracts.
timber dock
If you'd make a heatmap of PvP on Customs, the Dorms would be on fire and the red warehouse would be smoldering.
steady pilot
but tbh, if you die to an extract camper, its your fault. they are the easiest people to kill
clear your sectors.

higher velocity = better bullet?

the gold name with a crown near it means the person has EOD edition right?

the higher velocitys typically translate to a higher penetration round.

if a Raider comes up to you as a scav player, and he is staring at you
you are essentially dead if you try to move, so just kill the man
summer sparrow
same with some bosses lol

i once had a raider come up to me and give me the finger

I just slew a scav player and while looting him a raider came up to me, gave me the finger
onyx imp
like run up to me

pointed to get on my knees

radiers dont do that

they do

can also get paca chest armor for 18k from I believe lvl 1 ragman, but that basically wont stop annything besides scav pistol or shotgun shots @true pond

Let's just say
my butt clenched
REALLY tightly
"Area clear"
NO IT'S NOT
"...it is now"
onyx imp
if you have a helmet like the SSH (the bowl / penis helmet) your sound gets reduced @devout forum
in order to counter that you use headphones
summer sparrow
wait, weiner helmet doesnt muffle audio does it?>
onyx imp
does
lilac belfry
It does
onyx imp
since it covers ur ears
lilac belfry
If it covers your ears, it does
onyx imp
most scavs who get bowl helmets spawn with headphones
summer sparrow
doesnt cover ears
onyx imp
it does..
summer sparrow
im like 80% sure, ill check
lilac belfry
They definitely do
devout forum
i have a tank helmet
summer sparrow
im going to check in raid, but the description doesnt say ears like the kiver does
bold kernel
so
devout forum
hows this loadout?
bold kernel
I know that you need to always be on the lookout and all
but isn't it a bit extreme for me to spawn in 10 feet away from someone on reserves PMC
summer sparrow
I knew i wasnt crazy, weiner helmet is fine, this is like when people tell me you can suppress the klin
bold kernel
I spawned in by the hole in the fence extract and there was a player in the tower above me who just ended my life
summer sparrow
did you spawn in late
bold kernel
nope
onyx imp
scav run?
bold kernel
I was PMC
summer sparrow
did you see the guy? or did you just get shot? I know reserve is famous for people sniping early spawns
bold kernel
I saw him
lilac belfry
You can suppress the Klin. You just need to buy the right gun
summer sparrow
o rip
bold kernel
he killed me with a berretta
summer sparrow
you can suppress the KEDR, not the klin
summer sparrow
yes, and it can shooot PMM, kedr cannot

do i need anything to exit on old gas station on customs?

you need to see if the green smoke is outside

no, if your PMC look for the green smoke, if your a scav you have to go check

got 3 lab keycards today on lucky scav spawns. anyone wanna farm rubles?
never been to lab before
hollow niche
make sure you have enough exp though so you dont lose it @bold kernel
summer sparrow
he will still get it, run through wont affect that
hollow niche
really?
steady pilot
@bold kernel you can explore offline mode and it doesnt spend a keycard btw, and you're asking in begginers assistance. nobody new should be spending 200k on labs run.
you can ask #pvp-lfg
bold kernel
do i need a role for that? i cant see the chat
summer sparrow
yea, run through is only a "documented"? penalty? it doesnt actually do anything. its just a mark on your account. but scav's have their own record
steady pilot
accept the rules
bold kernel
alright boys I got out with it
steady pilot
summer sparrow
it opens an end game map, you can make money, but its a big boy place alot of the time. might just want to sell
steady pilot
it gives you access to labs @bold kernel
hollow niche
ive sold all my lab cards
steady pilot
@bold kernel take it offline mode and explore for fun, then sell it on market for 180-200k.
the card gets burned on online mode though
its 200k per labs entry basically.
craggy ibex
labs seems like such an epic map from the videos i've seen
summer sparrow
depends on your play style, labs gives me anxiety. I sold like 17 labs key cards the other day
steady pilot
people use labs to abuse raiders, you can do it on reserve for free.

i have to get used to not ads'ing when in close range

i just need to get better in general with how this game's combat works
steady pilot
@elfin tiger then you wont get necessary map knowledge and experience vs players and their movements and where they rotate.

thats what i was doing

which is paramount to have fun during wipe.

dont even need a helmet

50k xD i wish i had that much xD

@elfin tiger search up reserve loot runs and go in as a scav
you iwll def make money
become one with the rat
this game isnt all fighting

another problem is that i dont know where the exits all
are
i got maps on my phone
but thanks to my limited knowledge
steady pilot
figure out any map in 15mins.
formal wagon
im very new here myself and first thing i found out is where to extract
elfin tiger
learn the maps offline
formal wagon
even now i ddint know hwo to correctly extract in customs
elfin tiger
while also killing scavs
bold kernel
ive figured out customs and factory so far
elfin tiger
to learn the combat kinda
formal wagon
customs is what ive learned and reserve
elfin tiger
ik its not the same as players
bold kernel
reserve looks challenging from what Ive seen on youtube
elfin tiger
but i need to get at least my aim down

dont want to try it lol

not much as you think

How do you gradually peek around a corner
I've seen streamers do it
I only know the default lean with q and e

idk its like they do the q or e peek but hella slow
thick harness
for what he is talking about
formal wagon
ahh
bold kernel
I don't have enough fingers for this game
elfin tiger
im gonna play some offline now on a different map besides the fucking meat grinder that is factory and the overly large map that is customs

customs is a great map to start

customs is not big
elfin tiger
and still bad at the exits and shit
thick harness
customs is quite small in comparison

Is there any anti cheat system?

Theres a giant green store on one side and a giant blue one on the other

@dusky hound you might have better luck if you go to #521628660298678283 and accept that - then you can see the LFG channels.
rigid hare
Hmm, maybe the bot messed up
rigid hare
yep, there you go
dusky hound
i just clicked it twice to resubmit it
rigid hare
lol
rigid hare
I'm not playing at the moment or i'd take you through a few raids. I'll answer any questions you come across though.
dusky hound
when will you be on next?
rigid hare
Will likely be tomorrow. I'm kinda winding down for the night.
gentle depot
i kind of liked pubg i like grindy games should i get the game
rigid hare
@gentle depot Well, that's kinda a loaded question but the game definitely has plenty of stuff to grind for for sure. (lvling up traders, upgrading hideout, grinding out more money, kills, etc.)
I would suggest watching some streams or youtube to get a better feel for what the game is like and try to make a decision off of that.
gentle depot
will i loose everything when i die or is it like the division dark zone were u keep the things u extracted
would u recoment the game
cloud glacier
@gentle depot When you die you lose everything that was not inside your secure container
rigid hare
You are able to keep anything you put into your secure container - Think of it as a permanent "pocket" you can keep a couple items in - everything else is lost on death.
gentle depot
even the iteam u had on u when u started the match
rigid hare
@gentle depot Personally, yes i would recommend 100x over. Been playing since 2017 and always come back to it.
cloud glacier
@gentle depot everything that is not inside secure container - does not matter if you started with it or not
honest tusk
The fact that you lose items is kinda what gives tarkov its charm imo
rigid hare
^
gentle depot
do u get to keep the gun u start with
rigid hare
As long as you survive with it 😛
cloud glacier
@honest tusk If they at some point release hardcore servers without secure containers AND flea market I bet a lot of people would love it 😉
cloud glacier
well... it does depends on how you balance the loot in the game - but I did see few ppl playing like that either way - just to have a stronger experience 🙂
thick harness
just when im about to rage quit after getting desyncs and shit the game gives me 3 graphics cards and a tetriz in the idea comp room
why you do this gae
im naked with a vepr km too so uh wish me luck
rigid hare
haha good luck!
next zephyr
Kinda new and just chilling, any way I could get into a group to do interchange and learn the ins and outs? I've already done a fair few runs there, and I'm not totally braindead, I just don't want someone else risking loads of gear on a run with me
next zephyr
I figured that was more for people who had gear and knowledge and just wanted to play
thick harness
@next zephyr im running iterchange for my quests. Im not the best but you are welcome to come if you want
rigid hare
^ there ya go lol
vocal cipher
neat
next zephyr
Sounds good to me
vocal cipher
gl hf
thick harness
Lets use Duo Golf channele
next zephyr
Kk, see you there
rigid hare
5 man's can be so hectic lol
vocal cipher
had a altyn tactec and p90 on
Yeah, you gotta have a squad leader
even then, we were pretty split up
got engaged by a duo top floor, so me and another teammate flanked them whilst the other 3 baited them from brutal
rigid hare
Nice!
charred remnant
Hey guys, just recently started playing. Don't know what to keep and what to sell... and where to sell. Any tips?
cloud glacier
@charred remnant Get to Lvl 5 and then check on flea market vs vendors
rigid hare
@charred remnant Yea check the flea market for prices to get an idea what some items are worth. Also take a look at your hideout to see what items you're going to need for upgrading etc.
bronze ice
@gentle depot If you like looting/managing space/resources and FPS'es, you'll love this
craggy ibex
First scav run. Literally shat my pantaloons multiple times xD also heck snipers dude
charred remnant
How do i list things on the flea market?
bronze ice
Literally? 
rigid hare
@craggy ibex Haha, nice. Take any win you can get because tarkov WILL push your shit in at some point or another.
bronze ice
That's 100k+ tho, noice 
cloud glacier
@craggy ibex as a rule - merge ammo stacks - you could have gotten at least one more slot for loot there
rigid hare
@charred remnant hit lvl 5 to unlock flea market. Once in the flea market there is a button kinda top right to post something.
vocal cipher
aim for 100k+ on scav before you extract
gentle depot
@bronze ice so should i buy the game
vocal cipher
tarkov best fps
craggy ibex
oh okay thanks 😄 didn't see that
but i wouldn't have got anything more out of that because i just yeeted my ass out of there after i got the first few things because i heard shots near me and they didn't sound like small pp bullets xD
cloud glacier
@gentle depot That is something you should answer for yourself - check streamers etc and decide if it's something you want to try for the entry price
gentle depot
are there alot of players on the game
rigid hare
@gentle depot If you do take the plunge, i suggest getting the cheapest tarkov edition - you can always upgrade later if you decide you enjoy the game.
cloud glacier
@gentle depot right now? yes
gentle depot
do u think it will continue
clever tapir
I think it will always be bigger than it was but idk if it will stay at this peak
vocal cipher
game is closed beta mate, huge patch scheduled in 4 months
clever tapir
Maybe even continue to grow a little for a while considering everyone is talking about it
rigid hare
In terms of a healthy population, i don't think you have anything to worry about anytime soon.
vocal cipher
new map, guns, cultists, voip, steam audio, kit customisation etc
craggy ibex
should i just keep everything until i get the flea market?
cloud glacier
@gentle depot game just got a huge spike of popularity - this always means that there will be SOME dropoff of people who jumped to buy to quickly on the hype train. But new players will still arrive - just slower than now probably
clever tapir
I was thinking about buying this game when it first came out but I heard it had major issues and so I only got it recently now that it is much bigger and people are saying it's better
shadow willow
Hello everyone. Can anyone give me or point me towards some advice around playing in Woods. I am doing the quest to unlock Jaeger and I am getting head shotted, from god knows where, every time. Are there places were I am not supposed to walk, good places where people snipe from? I feel like I am sneaking around always hiding close to bushes and trees but people still spot me and snipe me. Should I look for videos of good players playing in woods and trying to emulate where they walk?
rigid hare
@craggy ibex not necessarily, keep in mind you need to buy/spend money with your traders to lvl them up.
atomic knoll
@shadow willow Well, I pistol run it for about 9 times
rigid hare
@shadow willow I would suggest maybe checking out some videos like you mentioned. There are several high rocks players will get on top of and snipe from etc.
sand needle
is there any reason that i would be dropping frames so bad that i can hardly move?
shadow willow
I feel like doing pistol runs just to rush there and run away 9 times won't help me get better at the game
rigid hare
@shadow willow You could also go into an offline raid and discover all those sniper spots yourself. That could help.
cloud glacier
@sand needle The usual - your graphic settings of the game 😉
craggy ibex
any trader i should focus on?
sand needle
@cloud glacier with a game of half the graphics of my usual games? with a pc stronger than most anyones?
atomic knoll
Well that's just me cause personally, I HATE woods
atomic knoll
lions are 130k ish
bold kernel
Is there any reason to keep BTC ?
atomic knoll
PSU 25-30k ish
bold kernel
I just got one off a scav i think
sand needle
psu is useless
vocal bramble
thanksss
cloud glacier
@sand needle Yes - I have 1080 Ti and when I started few weeks ago I had poor performance until I checked things out - this game has it's problems in this area - but usually you just need to change few things and suddenly its great
rigid hare
@bold kernel i think the most common use is the trade for a wep. case.
vocal bramble
i dont have space for both that's why lol
sand needle
@cloud glacier ive been playing for a month, and not untill yesterday did this happen
my second monitor is unaffected
its just the game
cloud glacier
@sand needle In such case it seems to be more on your side - hard to tell what could have happened. I do not think there has been any patch that could have impacted the game itself on this side
sand needle
im not good with what slows down a pc, but how can one side of my screen be dead and the other be fine?
sorry one screen and other be fine
normally both are effected
atomic knoll
Try a different port on your gpu?
atomic knoll
What I said
sand needle
switching off primary isnt a thing, it can run anything
atomic knoll
???
atomic knoll
Where is your primary monitor connected to?
sand needle
@clever tapir yeah but its weird after playing for hours then having to reset my computer just to fix it
normally it doesnt in those situatiosn
clever tapir
I always restart my game after like 2 hours of playing
sand needle
realy?
clever tapir
Yeah
rigid hare
@sand needle try watching your resources when this happens to see if anything odd is happening.
sand needle
and i cant figure out why
clever tapir
I'm currently playing on a shitty laptop though so I have more issues
sand needle
yikes
clever tapir
Wish I had my main PC but I just moved countries
vocal bramble
when you do night raids and you use a suppressor you cant see muzzle flash right?
clever tapir
My main PC probably wouldn't struggle as much
I only get around 80fps consistent on this laptop with many spikes while looting and adsing
sand needle
yeah i have a hard time overloading my pc (ive tried) and for some reason i get these points where EFT just doesn't let me run
like at all
atomic knoll
....
cloud glacier
@sand needle did you disable hyperthreading for Trakov? I've been told that tarkov prefers to be using only one thread per each CPU core
atomic knoll
You do realize I've been trying to help and you have been ignoring me?
sand needle
beacause there is no physical change in my pc whatsoever
and what you are saying doesn't apply?
atomic knoll
No physical change does not mean a GPU port won't become faulty over time
sand needle
it is brand new?
atomic knoll
Nor it's cables
atomic knoll
It still happens
rigid hare
Rule #1 in IT is to not underestimate what could be causing a problem lol
sand needle
im 35 years old
atomic knoll
Why else do you think there are warranties?
clever tapir
It can happen lol
sand needle
and i will literally be able to tell the difference
cloud glacier
@sand needle parts can just brake - then being new just reduces the probability - but it's always there. Some parts leave factory broken and need to be replaced just after some shop/user tests them
atomic knoll
I'm very sure it can happen. Source: I'm a hardware computer engineer
sand needle
@cloud glacier
this game wouldnt be the only game that does this
you obviously can't read
atomic knoll
What are the symptoms again?
sand needle
the game won't let me run
clever tapir
I preordered a 2080ti, received it late, and it was fuarked after a couple weeks and I had to wait for a new one
sand needle
without stuttering now
all of the sudden
and i just tested 5 other games
no problems
atomic knoll
In that case, check your servers under launcher
cloud glacier
@sand needle While I understand that you see the problems only on this game - it is never a reason to be 100% sure that it's just the games problem. There are many recorded histories of VERY weird symptoms of problems - just ask any computer technician 🙂
clever tapir
🤔
sand needle
its setting based or i have something i shouldnt have running that i cannot find
summer gulch
how do i join vc
atomic knoll
Do you mind sharing your game settings? Just take a screenshot
clever tapir
@sand needle turn off all but mandatory startup apps, restart pc, try playing
sand needle
game or graphics
cloud glacier
@sand needle In any case - it's just better to check step by step. People do not tell you to check those things to annoy you 🙂 If you do not want to discuss that - just say that you've checked those (and take the risk maybe there is some hidden problem there :))
rigid hare
@summer gulch Go to #521628660298678283 and accept those - then you can see the VC channels.
summer gulch
@rigid hare i did i still cant vc
sand needle
my hardware is fine
sand needle
when i run tarkov somehow its now running at 100% of my physical memory
rigid hare
@summer gulch Your name should turn blue when you hit the check mark in #521628660298678283 Maybe you double clicked it by mistake? Or maybe the bot messed up.
summer gulch
it worked now
rigid hare
There ya go
sand needle
@atomic knoll i have an aurora r8
clever tapir
Ram?
sand needle
16
clever tapir
What speed
sand needle
ddr4
rigid hare
@sand needle Since you said its all new - did you set your clock speeds in the bios for your ram? Typically you have to manually set that.
sand needle
i have no idea what that means @rigid hare
cloud glacier
guys... I think that if the game run well for him recently its not the case of him not having enough resources - rather something braking or changing in software
atomic knoll
Doesn't matter. It's intel so the speed of RAM is not too relevant
How long have you had the machine for?
craggy ibex
your boi just attacked someone with some T H I C C armour with a pea shooter... no regrets
clever tapir
@atomic knoll I know clock speed mattered in overwatch
rigid hare
True, still not a bad idea to set that at some point though.
clever tapir
@ 4400 mhz I could reach 400fps
atomic knoll
Doesn't matter that much for Intel due to their architecture. AMD though is another story
sand needle
yeah on all of the games i play i run avg 300 fps easy, while streaming and running 3 other things
clever tapir
Depends on the game too tho
atomic knoll
Not too much on the game. Even if it does, then it will be due to memory leak
Which is never a good sign
clever tapir
Idk if tarkov is affected by it much
atomic knoll
PUBG suffers heavily from memory leak
rigid hare
@sand needle I know i sometimes have an issue if firefox has been running in the background for a long time - it'll slowly eat up more ram until it maxes out. Do you have extra programs running in the background while playing?
atomic knoll
IIRC
clever tapir
But once again, overwatch had massive differences
sand needle
sorry but running gta 5 and the witcher while streaming is 5x the req than this game
lol
like real facts
atomic knoll
@sand needle For how long had you have this machine?
clever tapir
This game is still in beta so the recommended specs aren't very accurate I don't think
sand needle
recommended specs are still below fortnite, which is 1/3 the physical req for gta alone
clever tapir
Still needs optimizations
atomic knoll
It might be due to your PSU
I'm quite worried about the PSU which they provide
That's vague af
clever tapir
The difference is I could easily double my fps in fortnite with less stutters than tarkov
cloud glacier
@sand needle there's a lot of streamers with top tier machines that had performance problems with this game until chat helped them with the settings. I would not treat recommended settings as proper right now - unfortunatelly.
atomic knoll
Wow that's overkill af but the cause of it being PSU should be low
Look at your background then
tasks
sand needle
im running off of the same specs as lupo @cloud glacier and my computer is more modern and stronger, just cause my shell is bought from alienware doesn't mean the whole machine is
atomic knoll
Dude, then you should list your specs
clever tapir
wait
atomic knoll
We won't know if you pimped your machine
clever tapir
@sand needle do you use razer
atomic knoll
It's a dell alienware
cloud glacier
@sand needle I'm not arguing against you 😉 Just saying that comparing to recommended specs is not a valid strategy right now as far as I am aware
sand needle
no?
clever tapir
If you use razer then razer software is probably doing it
atomic knoll
Are you using stock stuff? All the pre-installed crapped
sand needle
probably?
atomic knoll
Or it's a new fresh Windows which you installed yourself
sand needle
no i didn't redo the whole drive
atomic knoll
Then the cause might be the bloatware
clever tapir
I don't even have razer but I had issues in games with rtx 2080ti i9 9900k until I deleted razer software that was still in my system32 folder
As soon as I deleted that then games were playable
sand needle
i have a friend who does the actual work, so he may have did it himself
i forgot that he could have redid the actual os
sand needle
why?
rigid hare
I would say the next easiest thing would just be to watch task manager and see specifically what is eating all your ram when it happens.
atomic knoll
Yes
atomic knoll
At what percentage?
clever tapir
He said 100
atomic knoll
It can never be 100%
An application can never take up 100%
Not even SQL is that bad and that's a database
Nor web servers
clever tapir
atomic knoll
90%? RAM? Are you sure? Or are you looking at CPU?
FYI by default, RAM is not displayed as percentage
mossy jungle
Is tarkov at 90% ram or 90% of your ram utilized?
atomic knoll
^
clever tapir
^^
rigid hare
^^^
sand needle
11k
cloud glacier
or it's probably just best that you send a screenshot so there won't be discussions what you read there
craggy ibex
why do people shoot at people who don't even have a gun and just mind their own business
sand needle
literally been looking process the entire time
craggy ibex
fricking chads
atomic knoll
Right click > Resource Value > Memory > Percents
gentle depot
if i get the game are people nice to new people on this discord like will they be okay with my running with them
bold kernel
why does RESERVE take so long to match with scav??
clever tapir
@craggy ibex hatchlings
mossy jungle
@bold kernel cause everybody queueing scav on reserve
sand needle
59
atomic knoll
That's not too bad
atomic knoll
Yeah
bold kernel
isnt there a lot of pmc's in queue to reserve too?
atomic knoll
System resources usually take up about 10% at most
bold kernel
all i see is pmc's in reserve
atomic knoll
So it's not a lack of memory as well
rigid hare
@gentle depot You'll generally find some friendly folk down to help.
mossy jungle
If the scav queues are longer than pmc queues then there is more scavs in queue than pmcs
atomic knoll
What's the 2nd most memory usage value?
atomic knoll
Yeah
sand needle
from twitch
bold kernel
@mossy jungle well hek
atomic knoll
RAM is out as well
bold kernel
shouldnt the scavs die more then
atomic knoll
Could be windows game streamign
sand needle
hey no do you have a mic?
bold kernel
so many people going full rat mode sneaking too much and surviving
atomic knoll
Nope. No earphones policy here 😦
sand needle
not surprising
sand needle
yeah im really getting pissed here causei don't know enough about these things, because im backend
not really good with a physical computer, mostly just code
atomic knoll
Hmm ok
rigid hare
Yea i'm more on the admin side of things, kinda lost my knack with hardware or i'd offer more help.
mossy jungle
Download speccy and take a screenshot of the summary page @sand needle gives all the info needed when you want to ask for help
atomic knoll
It doesn't seem to be a resource problem though
