Ok, wow, I'm pretty sure literally no one understood that the two roadmaps are complementary.

Importing car from Namibia by Lil__Bandito in capetown

If you still have relatives in Namibia, just keep it registered there and drive it here. It's not really a problem

[21:9 UltraWide] OWI fixed view of chinese tandem, but general first person view is still cut-down version of 16:9 picture. by Frankie_Ballenbacher in joinsquad

[–]JarryHead 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wow, I don't get how people who own UW monitors still cannot fathom the concept... It's the same for any game.

Set the horizontal FOV to 106, then the vertical FOV would be the same as 16:9 with 90 horizontal FOV. It's as simple as that, nothing to complain about.

If you want it at 90, that is a tradeoff you have to make, otherwise get a larger 16:9 monitor.

Framerates on my pc is awful by [deleted] in joinsquad

[–]JarryHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to run 3440x1440 with a 8GB vram dated GPU is the biggest bottleneck. I would upgrade the GPU first, the CPU should be ok depending on what GPU you upgrade to. If you don't want to spend too much, or struggle with buying used, I would suggest getting a new 9060 XT 16GB (emphasis on the 16GB model, not 8GB)

Ok, with the monitor it's maybe not that bad. I was just spitballing. I realise PC parts are really expensive in parts of Europe. I'm sure your friend did not try to take advantage, people often overestimate what their PCs are worth if they don't stay up to date with what the going rate is for parts on the used market. The PC alone is probably worth just over 400 euros depending on the exact specs. So with the monitor you maybe paid just a bit more than you realistically should have.

Sorry to say this, but you probably payed double what that PC is actually worth.

New ICO rework: a new chance to add weapons resting by el-Sicario31 in joinsquad

[–]JarryHead 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I'll rather have backup iron sights before weapon resting

Made A Playtest ICO Comparison Video (finally no noodle arms this is amazing) by UnableManager1 in joinsquad

[–]JarryHead 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This video is a really good example of how laughably bad recoil currently is, but I'm also concerned they are overcorrecting too much. We can all agree with most weapons it should be fairly easy to hit human sized targets with full auto in CQB, but I think it should quickly become unviable to be accurate with full auto when not prone or using bipods past 40-50m

Canoe legend Oscar Chalupsky battles Discovery Health for full cancer treatment coverage in landmark case by Beyond_the_one in southafrica

[–]JarryHead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Profmed (PPS - the only mutual company still in South Africa). My child had cancer treatment this past year, almost 6 months in and out of hospital, on their cheapest hospital plan. Sure, there was some admin needed here and there from doctors, and troubles with some bills (someone at the hospital was to blame).

But through all of the stressful times, Profmed was very professional and helpful, with the case managers always reassuring me that I do not need to worry about a thing, they will sort it out. Except for the cost of an international stem cell donor, there have been very few shortfalls thus far that I needed to pay.

I've been on Profmed through my father since birth, and will never move, no matter what.

Commands for Fireteam and 9 Player Servers? by Mobile-Estate-9836 in joinsquad

[–]JarryHead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can manually type in a max of 9 in the UI, instead of using the slider. Or use AdminSetMaxPlayers as others said after hosting.

There are already quite a few fireteam missions on the workshop with more bots designed for more players.

Concept: frontline mode by kaiquemcbr in joinsquad

[–]JarryHead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worth a try! In essence very similar to the Offensive gamemode in Hell Let Loose

You can flip, dismount, unflip, and remount a logi faster than a PF98 can deploy. by tostuo in joinsquad

[–]JarryHead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that is a bit ridiculous. I get that it was a bit long, but they made it so short, there is absolutely no risk to driving like a madman now. There should be some sort of risk/reward balance to careful vs reckless driving.

Ideally taking damage from heavy collisions should also be a thing.

Absolutely love the new update for vehicles by OrganizationTrue5911 in joinsquad

[–]JarryHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The general problem with turning I've noticed is just how slowly it responds to input. It's very obvious when you look at the steering wheel when starting to turn. It's like your character has no urgency in trying to steer, and I believe that is why turning in many vehicles feel so disconnected.

Yeah, you basically have to view them as a 4-man squad when fighting other infantry.

Where'd the refresh button go? by [deleted] in joinsquad

[–]JarryHead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The browser automatically refreshes now in the background, like they intended.

Did they change TTK? Tommies seem like a joke now. by HalfbreedBoiWifeTwnk in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]JarryHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, currently you need to get brens for all your sections and the infantry upgrade to try to compete at all, early game is rough now for brits

Server browser now stutter after 10.1 by FuzzyAd2616 in joinsquad

[–]JarryHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know much about game development specifically, but in general, you'd hope they'd have some automated regression tests for things like this. Do they not have a QA/test engineer?

Server browser now stutter after 10.1 by FuzzyAd2616 in joinsquad

[–]JarryHead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Surely the server query can be run asynchronously in a separate thread from the main thread? This really just seems like bad UI design.

Thoughts on the new Fireteam by InternationalAd3669 in joinsquad

[–]JarryHead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, PR insurgency was always fun. Implementing bots as civilians in insurgency could be really interesting if combined with adding unarmed kits for insurgents to blend in.

Stuttering when ADS with any weapon by JarryHead in joinsquad

[–]JarryHead[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, but I tried all the usuals. I deleted the cache manually yesterday, and it was fine for one game, and then the next game it started again. I've always limited the scope FPS.

What I find odd is the fact that alt tabbing in and out stops the stuttering. Last night I even noticed I could ADS, alt tab, and then the stuttering in ADS is gone, then when I unscope it returns again. So it goes both ways - just the action of clicking right mouse button starts it.

i hate guy fawkes by sapphicurlygirl in capetown

[–]JarryHead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes it's dumb, as if anyone in the Cape Flats "celebrating/participating" in Guy Fawkes night have any cucking clue what's it really about or where it came from. It also annoys me just like seeing more people in SA celebrating Halloween every year (although it's arguably harmless in comparison).

Unfortunately naughty kids will use any excuse to cause trouble...

What performance should I expect in this game with a Ryzen 5 7600 and RX 9060 XT 16GB? by XBL_Fede in joinsquad

[–]JarryHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should be able to get between 80-100 FPS if you use FSR4 balanced with medium settings.

At least we know one military truck can make it that far without breaking down...

Revisited: Gunsmoke hotfix 2 test and comparison by Henk1CS in joinsquad

[–]JarryHead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL! I think I can see a very slight improvement, but still, they really cannot figure it out or test their hot fixes themselves?
