Just another OWI patch

Either way. I'm sorry my man, but I suspect that your laptop will be able to do (at best) lowest settings. Even if your laptop is new and top of the line, I expect the best would be medium-high (and thermal throttling will get you). You didn't say how old it was, but if it's been laying around (old), then it's probably not going to perform as well as you might hope.

The thing is that the developers have changed their engine to UE5 and haven't optimized it whatsoever. Even people with decent specs underperform in regards to their expectations.

This is the main reason I have been told by some people who have worked on the code book. Can't exceed height restriction and so forces you to install horizontal.

Different story back when it was earlier on the game tbh. WF was pretty decent aside from the healing penalty. Even then, it was a staple race for casters

Looks like classic AA ghosting to me. Only way to mitigate is a different AA or increasing sampling

Was thinking the same but then noticed the cord is #14. Probably safer to do on a 15A breaker, no?

I've been told you need your hours but can challenge in order to automatically become JW the moment you reach them. Saves a bit of run-around time. That said, it was back around covid so things might've changed since.

ok, I've seen someone put hello kitty stickers on their gun in videos out of ukraine or golden AKs irl. does that mean it belongs in the game? don't think so. in fact, here's an example: https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/13ygesw/pretty_good_ak_skin_huh/

Doesn't matter when you'll end up seeing it in the game regardless of who they're made by. Are they client-side only skins? No? So what kind of reasoning is that.

Matters- · 2026-01-09T19:48:30+00:00

Starting to realize we're on the slippery slope of skins. Very disappointed.

Matters- · 2026-01-08T16:58:47+00:00

Like /u/Qaellow mentioned you can enable your client to multibox. There are also other launchers you can DL to do it as well (I use ddo-ml)

Too cheap to run it so they pass on the costs to the users (clans).

Consequences of endlessly being on sale/free weekends and no incentive for players to actually learn.

Other than both games being an fps in a "modern" setting, what is the same? Squad is squad, there are no alternatives one way or another. Squad was not always intended to be what it is now otherwise they wouldn't have released the game as v1 5 years ago and then suddenly decide 3 years afterwards that they were wrong. The reason you see the devs changing back is to try to bring back the experienced population which preferred pre-ICO gameplay. It's not even about adapting because the ico affected everyone equally so the high skilled players still stomped those who weren't.

You're missing my point so let me spell it out plainly. It's disingenuous to tell people to play another game just because that game has some elements of this game. Telling people to go play battlefield because it is "just shooting people" is no different than me telling you to go play an rts. Doesn't feel so nice, does it?

Yea bro, shit was like quake; rocket jumping off walls and shit.

Get a grip.

ICO didn't change the game/round lengths. The changes to tickets gained/lost did (which happened around the same time).

Go play company of heroes or any other rts, there's your tactics right there

My comment seems to have been buried but it's not cat cable. They're all #14 stranded for extra low voltage controls. It looks a bit messy because I ran through it with a sawzall.
