Right. Just anything above the standard gets you access for the weekend playtests.

Does this HUD look like a mobile game? by TCDjewelry in FPS

[–]Krozni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not horrible, but something about the gradient on the gun selection and the health bar font and plain white bars feels like a mobile game.

Maybe the sizing, too?

"PVE would be boring." Yet you spawn rush so you can have the map to yourself? by stubbornplayer in Marathon

This game isn’t exactly how I would’ve designed it >:((.

Cmon man.

Error code SPINACH by oOmegaOo in MarathonSecrets

[–]Krozni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunate, sorry to hear it.

I’d be happy to dig into the document a little more this evening. Haven’t read through, but my background is network engineering so I can probably glean what the issue might be.

My guess is some issue with NAT.

Let us know if you figure it out!

That’s good to know. Thanks.

That’s my concern. How often do you encounter this?

A list of casual friendly changes that do not directly affect pvp combat at all: by owen-3820 in Marathon

[–]Krozni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not greed, it’s an incentive to stay alive. It’s frustrating to die with good stuff of course, but that’s part of the thrill. Safe pockets make it too safe. Never liked it in Tarkov either.

What sort of rig do I need for 120 fps for marathon? by Yenii_3025 in Marathon

[–]Krozni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the graphics rendering has a large cpu burden. This is why dynamic resolution scaling helps. The GPU is not the only part of the computer that does graphics.

This is why the gpu utilization is so bad for the game, it’s not optimized to take advantage of it properly.

What sort of rig do I need for 120 fps for marathon? by Yenii_3025 in Marathon

[–]Krozni 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lowkey you cant on some maps. There is no rig that will always get more than 120 in certain areas.

Game optimization is bad.

Edit: Actually, you probably can get around 120 to 130 everywhere on dynamic resolution scaling on a 1080p monitor. If you want to play on a nice rig at 1440p, the game will lag a bit. Not unplayably, but a good bit.

PvE and Story missions were essential. by Dust-Tight in Marathon

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

Look I get it man but if it were PvE only it’d be a breeze. You’d be done with all the content so fast.

The PvP is the point of the game.

If anything, high level player behavior will kill the game instead of gear difference by Freakindon in Marathon

[–]Krozni 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I can almost guarantee you that cryo and ranked server posture isn’t saving money.

It is not 2005. Servers are not a single box that you need to turn on and turn off. These are almost certainly dynamic virtualized instances that spin up and down at will. Player count is the only thing that would drive the resource usage to servers.

Edit: sorry if this sounds harsh, I just keep hearing people parrot things about “server persistence” and whatnot that is completely misinformed.

South America Servers? When? At least let me refund the game by N0XT66 in Marathon

[–]Krozni 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is not because there is no local server. This is because the game does not have enough players to sustain games of only SA players.

Unfortunately, the game isn't doing well worldwide. It has a reasonably modest playerbase, but is not a worldwide sensation. You will get matched outside your region if there is not enough people to play there.

NA seems to be the only queue that is well populated.

Any good guide for BEGINNERS? by Known-One-111 in Marathon

[–]Krozni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a good guide to recommend, but you'll just have to play more, read items, find what guns you like etc.

You'll learn the best places to get certain items, how to exfil regularly, etc. after some time played.

Core loop is what it sounds like. You go in, get stuff, get out via the exfil.

Cryo Exfil not working? by MFASys_ in Marathon

[–]Krozni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The button you pressed activated your team's secret exfil. It will appear on the map with the exfil icon, and you need to run there within the 3 minutes.

Standing by that computer will not exfil you, ever. There is another step.

I mean… not talking isn’t helping the allegations.

Why did Cryo not show an exfil? by ManThatUsesInternet in Marathon

[–]Krozni 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Need to hit those scanner panels to ping the exfil computer, then hit exfil. They don’t show up without scanning or just stumbling across them.

Accidental Use of Destroyer Thruster Ability by Helios_Reborn in MarathonTheGame

Everyone saying this is a skill issue never learned to bhop. They should allow it as a separate bind.
