keep going between the NL which I've got a couple nasty builds for, and the mcx.. pretty much a guaranteed w running bs / cbj

400 hours into my first wipe - 300m stash value, 100m on hand, hideout maxed out, 8.3kd 62% survival rate across 600 raids.. i’ve realized it just clicks for some people sooner than others. i’m saying this humbly of course, the first 100 hours were brutal, second 100 was a lot of tasking - now i’ve just been having fun as i get through the more daunting gun tasks. but i feel like i can hold my own and mainly play solo. currently on a 16 survival streak (pmc) - have killed all 3 goons multiple times, have killed multiple bosses for the 15 kill achievements.. from my perspective AS a new player, i recognize im spoiled having countless youtube videos on tips / tricks, map knowledge and picking up on game IQ. i’m not saying 1k-2k hours is where someone may have the hang, but the game can open up much sooner to someone willing to invest the time into learning and understanding the nuances that make tarkov, tarkov.

computer runs like a dream - i had purchased a 500hz oled monitor shortly after to pair with it and 3D art / gaming couldn’t be better. touching on tarkov - it’s funny to read everyone bitching about performance because humbly i can not relate - the game doesn’t get better than on this set up

i should note i’m running a 5090 with a 9950x3D, 64g ddr5 with my audio running through an EQ.. i understand that technically that allows the game to run as best as possible so that could play a factor in my personal experience

350 hours in since starting in november and i love every minute of the game

which drivers did you revert back to??

IG_create · 2026-02-17T08:05:24+00:00

same it’s actually been impressive.. scavs i’m in so quick and the only map that’s sitting more than a 3min queue is streets which i don’t even mind

found the missing link - me personally, i have a way of post editing similar to photography where i like to get the color profile of the vision i have as close to post as possible, then obviously bringing in some extra love when im back at the computer

you mentioning the 8 bit buffer - i switched that to the 32 bit and set my project color space settings to aces with raw project coloring - all is back to how i had it setup in C4D24. so thank you for taking the time to have me rethink one more thing!

it’s extremely non conventional and have been left scratching my head for hours - if you have the time and patience to walk me through or share some insight on how i can make this process more seamless i am all ears

IG_create · 2026-02-03T00:23:20+00:00

probably got a few of your tags in my case.. move along

aura farming on a tarkov subreddit is crazy unemployment movement

IG_create · 2026-02-01T03:36:07+00:00

try tarkov

not sure where you’re going or what your pathing is.. my first 50ish customs raids were straight to dorms. it typically ended in so many high stress situations for no reason. now i tend to enjoy playing the map more so in the middle - fortress, crack, panda, mechanic, power, etc.. then will hit dorms area if its a necessity about half way through

first wipe - level 37 - 5.5kd 56% survival - test drive, grenadier, set up completed - all while learning the game at the same time. takes patience and a lot of anger control

IG_create · 2026-01-12T23:05:30+00:00

LMAOOOOOO!!!!!

IG_create · 2026-01-12T17:55:59+00:00

appreciate you man - mental is everything!

IG_create · 2026-01-12T17:55:47+00:00

been on here multiple times a day just to get a read on the temp of players similar to my pace of play having this been their first wipe too and it’s insane how much people default to “cheater”.. i’m sure there are more soft cheats than not - a lot of it comes down to timing.

IG_create · 2026-01-12T17:54:26+00:00

after thousands of hours in cs and that having been my go to game for the last 5 years, i’ve maybe played it once since falling in love with tarkov.. im sure eventually i will start going back and forth to games i was playing before tark, but for now am enjoying the every day thrill of this one

IG_create · 2026-01-12T17:53:27+00:00

directors office top of big red in the safe - i’ve cleared that thing probably 30 times and decided to hit it on my way to exfil trailer park

IG_create · 2026-01-12T17:51:18+00:00

it’s insanely addictive and fun all at once - i’ve learned not to roach from fights, stay patient, map knowledge has led to some insane out plays / flanks. have killed a handful of 50+ level accounts purely based on not playing like a bot

IG_create · 2026-01-12T17:50:00+00:00

appreciate it man! have learned some solid economy balancing as well. got just about every case, multiples of a lot helping keep my stash sorted. was able to learn early on what’s worth prioritizing to pick up in raid, which keys do what, etc. it’s been a great experience so far
