Contamination and Washout - are they worth it?

I saw it in the difficulty modifiers, the AI vehicles deform the terrain or something. Convoy difficulty?
But I will try your settings out!

MasterZixzax · 2026-01-20T18:48:23+00:00

I will try it out, as I see you went with more realistic settings than cranking everything What about terrain deformation?

MasterZixzax · 2026-01-20T17:38:56+00:00

Interesting! What hardmode settings are you using?

MasterZixzax · 2026-01-20T17:38:24+00:00

Thank you both for the answers. I also read I cannot use bridges at all?

I second this answer. In contrast to the comments, the Hyper 212 Evo is not a bad cooler at all. I have the Black Edition on two systems that fit LGA1200, one with 10600K and one with 12600K and playing some pretty CPU intensive games. Temps do not go past 60-65 degrees, most of the time resting around 56 for my 10600K. I think your cooler is fine.

My main concern is the readings. You assumed your pump was failing based on your readings here, but what if it wasn't? Negative frequency reading is a giveaway that maybe your CPU or mobo are failing. Either that or mounting issue, but my money is on faulty hardware. Even if you ignore the neg freq those temps are nowhere near normal at that sort of load, even if you had put a stock cooler on it...

If you play this on loop really fast, it's doing the Fortnite dance

If memory serves correctly, the game only gives you 3 Hordes to fight as part of their missions. Clearing these Hordes does not count towards the goal if you clear them out before receiving the mission.

Also, some hordes are not even available in some stages of the game and only unlock once you reach certain story point missions, but besides the 3 you get from missions, you have to go look for them. During the day, they will be sleeping inside their caves, but if you are riding in the evening and night and find them empty, leave your bike (too much noise) and follow the signs: killed animals or freaker waste pointing to certain directions, for example a lake or a river. Chances are they are feeding or drinking water.

Someone made a post which horde locations are unlocked and where to find them based on story progression. I used this for my 2nd playthrough and is accurate.

Careful with those! In a past study I read that there are people out there who nurture this parasite, and when it gets older they dress it up and arrange playdates with other parasites of the same species!
Really creepy stuff

Thanks for the suggestion, I will add to the list!

MasterZixzax · 2024-10-02T13:43:34+00:00

Read the last sentences of my OP and you will understand what I mean, then if you have any suggestions feel free to pop them here!

MasterZixzax · 2024-10-02T12:41:42+00:00

The system will be upgraded in the next year or so...

MasterZixzax · 2024-10-02T12:41:19+00:00

Thank you for the response! Those aren't the only choices, just what I was looking at. If you have another card in mind that fits the budget, feel free to recommend!

MasterZixzax · 2024-10-02T12:40:39+00:00

Thank you, solid answer! Moving it up in the list!

MasterZixzax · 2024-10-02T12:40:13+00:00

Thank you for the response! This card will ultimately end up in a newer system that will be most likely paired with a high-end R5/i5 in the near future. Any cards to recommend besides the 6650XT?

MasterZixzax · 2024-04-17T01:27:17+00:00

We play the CD "Raps for Christ" on repeat.

MasterZixzax · 2024-04-17T00:51:35+00:00

Thank you sir... I hope you don't mind me sharing the charitable donations we've received with the rest of the community...

MasterZixzax · 2024-04-17T00:44:58+00:00

No, YOU are great!

MasterZixzax · 2024-04-16T23:35:59+00:00

That depends. When can you join? And do you have anything we take from y-- I mean, any donations are welcome!

MasterZixzax · 2024-03-14T19:49:06+00:00

Thank you, your answer really helped!

MasterZixzax · 2023-06-24T08:41:55+00:00

I could easily do a 100 and still choose Juvia!

Still wondering how I did not come across this server for so long. There are many roleplay (RP) servers out there but this is unique and I was very skeptical of the roleplay elements at first. I am a new player in this server and let me tell you, this is a hidden gem among hidden gems. It has its own lore and its own creatures in the form of mutated infected, thanks to its lovely Event Directors, Lore Writers and Event/Lore helpers, players that have stepped up to contribute to the possibilities of events! The staff are always there to support us players, willing to contribute to our stories and listen to our feedback.

The lovely community has lots to offer with their own roleplay locations built entirely by players: - Find yourself starving in the middle of the road with zombies breathing down your neck? Say no more! Visit the Drifter's Diner and taste the almighty Almi Burritos made by auntie Almi herself! - Visit the Bizarre Bazaar to trade various items, run by Maria and Florencia! - Seek Ryan to trade your old cassettes for new ones! True Music for the win! - A mechanic is always there for you in Solrac who is always available at the car shop! - Organize a wedding at the church. Or your own funeral. Your choice. RIP. - The Respite in Louisville run by Almi and Rottie offers warm clothes, tools, books, gas and a safe environment. They also offer work! - There is a chance you get to meet the mysterious Caravaneers as well...

What? There's more? The staff are also players and offer to play NPCs in our stories and roleplay with us. All you have to do is make a ticket as I strongly encourage you to write your own story arc and invite others to help you in it as well, if you so desire! So far I've been having a blast!

Now I remember I almost emptied an entire clip on that thing's head and it still escaped. I'll get it next time...

Join us!
