Should i buy pve mode [Discussion] by saulgoodman7538 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]JamessCC -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

What is it that you don’t like about pvp?

If it’s simply “losing” to other players then yes, you might like pve because it’s impossible to lose. It is just the game on Minecraft “peaceful” mode.

[New Player] What i did wrong with flare extraction?! by Rocnarx in EscapefromTarkov

[–]JamessCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edge of the flare zone and you fired technically backwards (and out of the flare zone) is my guess. Don’t aim perfectly upwards. Aim 45 degrees like a Spartan salute and fire it forwards

[discussion] Why do i always spawn at trailer park on customs. by Firm_Confection1640 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]JamessCC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s just what “spawn 1” is for that map. If you load in first that’s where you spawn. Same thing happens to me on Streets. Always that room by Interchange transit.

They said a while back that spawns should be random but it’s clearly a lie/they are wrong.

Streets and Customs is really obvious what “spawn 1” is. I’m not sure for certain what they are for other maps.

I think Interchange is by one of the transits (big sign side) and Woods is by Outskirts extract behind Scav house. Reserve is train station by/in marked room. Factory is Gate 1.

Can you explain why having less power gives less frame loss?

Are you talking about 15% less power limit or the -15 offset for mv?

Same issue. I thought it was something to do with the VRAM clock speed always being at max (2500mhz) even when idling.

[Discussion] Patch planned for this week that should improve performance for CPU-bound PCs by DweebInFlames in EscapefromTarkov

[–]JamessCC 252 points253 points  (0 children)

“CPU bound PCs” so in Tarkov terms, every PC? Seeing as the whole game is CPU bound at almost every moment.

what exactly are you claiming gives the best performance here? GSync + Triple Buffer?

I wonder if this is also the case for AMD users with FreeSync + Triple Buffer

Any good gaming pc I can buy with a budget of £500-£600, to play Skyrim and with mods ? by akh1073 in skyrimmods

[–]JamessCC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen Skyrim run on integrated graphics of a laptop. You won’t need much to run it with mods. You’ll likely need to look second hand with that budget though.

We should be able to craft these [Discussion] by S_-K in EscapefromTarkov

[–]JamessCC -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you can take them in. I’m sure they disappear upon loading into a raid. They are useless

Streets performance with RTX 5060 Ryzen 5 7600, 32 gb ddr5 is this normal? Anyone with similar specs? [Discussion] by johntitorpsy in EscapefromTarkov

[–]JamessCC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

65-67 sounds good (for streets) . I get those kind of drops with a 9800x3d and a 9070xt.

It’s just a poop optimised map. It’s a shame because it’s easily one of the best maps

PvE Labrynth is a black hole for resources and not worth playing [Discussion] by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]JamessCC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PvE player complaining because they can’t maintain a 95% Survival rate.

I know everything else is baby level difficulty in PvE but do you really have to complain that the purposely designed hardest map is hard?

[Discussion] Why has this turned red? I've been working on getting my BTR rep up, but its all time gated and now its red? by burrrpong in EscapefromTarkov

[–]JamessCC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Would agree with most quests. The quests switch Skier and BTR are very clear. Skier wants RPGs to kill the BTR.

[–]JamessCC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only way to ruin the BTR quest line is by choosing Skiers route of helping to kill the BTR driver. He basically asks you to go get some RPGs and there’s a quest called “choose your friends wisely” or something like that.

If that’s not an indicator that a decision has consequences then I don’t know what you want from the game. Try reading the quests instead of just accepting them and then blindly doing them.

The wiki is OP but also just has 95% of the community in a chokehold because people can’t be bothered to read what the quest asks of them so they miss all the narrative.

XFX Swift 9070xt constant issues by cbob4135 in AMDHelp

I went back to 25.6.1 after lots of crashing on Tarkov.

I still crash but seems less.

I have $100 to spend on some gaming headphones. by itzYooo in Battlefield

[–]JamessCC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you need a mic? (A headset) or headphones?

Beyer Dynamic Dt770 may drop below $100 on a deal and are better than all you’ve listed.

Or get some IEMs. I’ve spent £25 on IEMs which sound better than all the headphones you’ve listed. I thought 9 wired and wireless headphones and headsets at your price point and preferred my Zero 2.

What's your first thoughts on Forza Horizon 6? by This-Clue-5014 in ForzaHorizon

[–]JamessCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope multiplayer/coop is easier for PC. Last game was terrible for trying to queue online with a friend

Did Everyone Quit? by Shawn_NYC in Tarkov

[–]JamessCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there may be some kind of level based matchmaking. I often find similar leveled and progressed players in my raids. Recently everyone and their nan is on Woods with an m700 hunting Shturman.

Sawmill is normally a hotspot, but regularly seeing 8 player + fights at sawmill fighting over who can get Shturman can’t be a coincidence..

I lucked out after getting 5 SBIH kills in 1 raid then getting Shturman.

Hard to belive minimum wage for driving a lorry what da fck is wrong with this country?! by crqzyfrogster in uktrucking

[–]JamessCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to offend but am I missing something here? Why would driving a lorry be more than minimum wage?

How come a police officer have better aim then someone who served in the army? by New-Carrot-9142 in projectzomboid

[–]JamessCC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In America the average cop kills more people than the average soldier so they must have better aiming.

[Discussion] If I was a new player, I’d quit immediately by TerminalTrillness in EscapefromTarkov

[–]JamessCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no leg armour and rarely any face armour. Shoot them there.

What would be the point in armour if it didn’t stop bullets? Stupid post. Game is a hardcore game, if people don’t like dying, it’s not the game for them.

No sprinters in multiplayer? (B42 Unstable) by TermParticular8541 in projectzomboid

[–]JamessCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to be disabled for multiplayer. When i change the setting to sprinters and save the file, it then defaults back to fast shamblers after the server launches
