I have been playing Mass Effect Andromeda lately so my mind was in arcade mode
twice I have killed myself while jumping out of a running vehicle because I was too used to the Nomad and one of them I was down to 6th place
just as well the keyboard was sturdy and the man-cave was soundproof

Playing ArmA has given me a healthy respect for slow moving vehicles.

Any tips on soundproofing - I could be divorced before the year is out

Loving the new VSS Sniper Rifle

I hated it at the start..got a nice run with it last night and changed my mind about it. Was on a solo last night and spotted an enemy 300 or 400 yards ago going same direction as me. Found a nice bush and lost track of him after a few mins. I was just thinking crap when 10 feet away the guy was sneaking past me to where he thought I was...let him have it with the vss ..very nice and quiet

OK... I finally managed to get a Chicken Dinner and also managed to kill someone :P

What will this run like on a 1050?

My gut feeling is that when the game is released it'll run on a 2Gb 1050 but as it stands there are people with 1080s who are suffering though it seems to be due to a certain combination of things and not just the GFX card.

I have a i5 3570k and a GTX1070 and it runs as smooth as the majority but I know others with more powerful rigs who have issues.

It only seems to stutter for me at the initial island and on plane. Seem like a loading issue really. Running i7 6700k and 1080 and a few seconds into the plane scene it's bombzing away.

im running it on an i5 with a 970m,ive settings at medium and get between 60-70fps while playing..

they are tinkering with optimisation all the time so i reckon it will perform alot better when it gets its full release

Circle landed on island so I grabbed a bike and went across the bridge to Novorepnoye. Thanks to it being empty and finding a crate, I found myself looking down on the military base with a Kar98, 8x scope and all level 3 gear and only 13 alive. When I heard the noise behind me and saw a lad come out of the gas I switched to my Tommy Gun and pulled the trigger. Bloody single fire mode! Took me a millisecond too long to realise that the other fellow hadn't been consumed in a hail of bullets and I was dead.

I've died more time to not putting the UMP/Uzi/Vector in full-auto than to anything else

I love when you are being shot from behind and you get the turn on someone and destroy them lol free loot

What a feeling

I'd like to thank my exceptional squad mates who made this win possible
I am definitely standing on the shoulders of giants.

Tar.Aldarion

Well done!


Went well for us last night, won two games in a row then 2nd in the third, and we were 3 people in 4 man matches.

Was so close to that 3 in a row! One dead guy on our team gave a bad call that he saw the last guy, then he was actually behind our last guy and had his easiest kill ever.
Came second in a 4th game then, I was 1 v3 and just got two of them, was stupid and should have used my glock instead of a burst-fire m16 at close range, also pressed c instead of z so stood up fully.

his October release promise has been put back

They're still aiming to have it done before Christmas so not too bad.

dunworth1

with the money they have made i dont see why it wont be ready

its already come along way

Mickeroo

Once the two new maps are added they could just release it tbh.

Tar.Aldarion

Don't really care when it is "released", jsut want them to keep making it better. Seems like a pointless distinction at this stage.

agree would rather they kept working hard to make it an absolute gem of a game

raze_them_all_

Release it when its ready, ark susrvival evolved has been in the works ages and yet is being released in two months

Maximus Alexander

It was released the day it became available for sale. What difference does it make to anyone who has bought it what version number the developers put on it?

Early Access Something with planned features.

Actual release something with features that dont work.

Shougeki

So is this game any good? Got a free key so was thinking of spinning it up over the weekend

RossieMan

well worth the effort.

if you need a squad mate, just drop me a PM and i'll be happy to play. I've dropped 350 hours into it so far.

madcabbage

Plenty of fellas from here in a Discord group here; https://discord.gg/vcVn2z

I'm sure they'll play with you if ya ask nicely.

Due to a car accident when I was young I'm deaf in one ear. That has never been an issue with previous "shooter" games in the past such as the BF or CoD series. Here though it's a pain in the neck when I can't determine where I'm being shot from and need to wait for a visual indicator first. Sometimes though I'm just too stupid to figure it out and panic

Skip to 3 minutes in. In review I can even see the guy stand up and just blast me. On further review I see that I just ran to a tree, well into the circle as opposed to taking my time and waiting for the next circle to see if it forced him to move. Either way I'm blaming my "disability" :P

raze_them_all_

can someone make a non expiring invite to the discord?

Mickeroo

https://discord.gg/wHCSAwH

That should be non expiring, maybe one of the mods can stick it in the OP and mention it in the thread title?

I have lost the ability to spectate since the last update. hopefully it returns this week, not pluggin out gamepad its far away.

Maximus Alexander

Oh hell yeah! What a way to start the new season. Winning in this game is a buzz that you just don't get with other games.

Is it just me or does it seem like a new game today? I'm not getting framedrops when shooting any more and it just feels smoother in general. Perhaps it's because I factory reset my router? Interested to hear your experience. I havent won a game today but I don't feel like I was cheated out of a win either.

Whatever the lag fix was defintley improved the game as a whole.

Got some minor rubber banding but overall very smooth.

Got robbed of a win because I blew myself up with a grenade, reported myself so its cool.

Around the 2 minute mark I throw a nade, heal but dont switch weapons so when i try fire at the dude I actually drop a live grenade on myself.
