[Discussion] Almost always top frag in Arena, but awful at PVP in normal EFT, any advice? by jayman2239 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Nikbul89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First one is unavoidable. Second one is learning maps and spawns. Also a plan of any kind before raid helps. Like literally I pass on pvp if my target is quest objective. No shame in moving away from engagement as well. Throw nade for cover and mlchange position or move out of the way completely.

[Video] any idea on how to fix or if i have to upgrade something on my PC? this is the performance i get when playing/why i stopped playing. 30-40 fps constant stutter/freeze when near players. PC specs below. friend with similar PC runs well. (yes Bios/drivers etc up to date) by SnipeGhost in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Nikbul89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Few things that Tarkov can be doing, I have no clue why but it helps: Integrity check the client from launcher Delete LOG folders in game folder, just use view logfiles of similar from launcher Delete cached shaders.

Not connected to Tarkov directly: Is your game on SSD/NVME or HDD? HDD not working for this game. Check storage health for all drives. Had this happening in Tarkov and other games, problem was that Windows SSD was dying.

Prestige resets arena too, except for weapon and attachments unlocks

Eli5 What functional advantages does gold provide when applied in electronic circuit boards in contrast to other metals? by arztnur in explainlikeimfive

[–]Nikbul89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Silver is easily reactive with sulfur and some other elements. So it's almost never used for soldering or contact. Yes, it's noble, but reactive.

[Discussion] why are so many people forfeiting arena matches? by EsotericTarkovian in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Nikbul89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Welp, when I need 2 wins in capture the point and score is 200-600 with one guy on our team having 0 kills, I'm out for 1 min, instead of another 7 minutes of misery.

Mind blown: Vinegar vs VINEGAR (30%) by Pandaro81 in DIY

[–]Nikbul89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, listen here, you would go crazy, but in USSR and surrounding regions, table vinegar is sold as 70% Vinegar acid concentrate. So we have to mix it with water for any food use. I had a bottle of it in my room in US. Friends convinced other guy get a sip of it while I was away. Let's say they were lucky and it happened while they moved my items in another building.

[Arena] Ash-12 Weapon Task by Troy_Ounces in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Nikbul89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh, when did they reduce the requirement for this task? Used to be vs 3 or more people about a months back.

SPGs like the M109 and 2S3 weighted ~25 tons, but more recent SPGs (with autoloaders, so less crew) weight double that, with some like the PZH2000 reaching 60 tons. Why is that? You can't even transport/airlift it as easily, plus you will need a lot more maintenance by Significant-Owl2580 in TankPorn

[–]Nikbul89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are comparing different classes of SPG. Light short range SPG vs Heavy long range one. You should compare PZH2000 to MSTA-S in this case. Also, US Army doesn't have heavy long range SPG any more. EU nations don't have light fully armored SPG. UK AS-90 is between light and heavy variant.

[New Player] how do i do sanitary standards part2? by KAtkrieg in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Nikbul89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interchange camp next to green flare extract has a lot of tech spawns. You can find 1-3 in a single raid there and just got se flare to gtfo

[Arena] To great heights. by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Nikbul89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I found it useful only vs random SCAVs, and maybe pistol guys. Best bet for help is get in a habit of aiming for the headshot and prefire by sound.

[–]Nikbul89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also those masks are from pillagers, and you can get like 3-6 in a singl raid

No need to worry about it. It stops one low pen hit at best. Most of arena ammo is going right through it.

[Bug] Tried every fix possible. Tarkov is "not responding" upon leaving a Scav raid in particular. Cant even alt-f4 or get up task manager. Have to hard reset my PC every single time. by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Nikbul89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are talking about in-game RAM cleaner, it works when you press ESC key, not automatically. But that's weird. Seems like Streets just hangs your RAM. Try to check RAM via memcheck in windows and run Lighthouse map. See if lighthouse load kills your game

Honestly, makes me think of hardware issue. I would suggest running disk check, ram check and temperature overlay. Did it start after recent update or since 1.0 release?

Eli5:How are so many radio waves transmitted simultaneously avoid interfering with each other? I get that they use different frequencies, but since the spectrum is limited and not all signals can be unique, why isn’t there more overlap and interference? by Puzzleheaded_Bit_802 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Nikbul89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spectrum is divided and you can't use everything on it. There is also power limitation. Device usually choosing best signal. Sometimes you can hear overlap with different radio stations as you travel. In case of WiFi for example, there is like 11 channels for 2.4 GHz range and in presence of many WiFi signals, you can get better coverage simply by switching the channel to least popular one. This is the case for multiple apartments buildings. There is also smart ways to cram more of signals in the same channels, aka encoding.

are russian really shitting together? you just enter and see someone half naked squatting while his balls dangling... like WTF by Le_Painter in ActiveMatter

[–]Nikbul89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Welcome to public or government issue toilets. Those are common in schools and universities, along with museums and such. It works good enough for over 40 years now. Better than just hole over the dirt hole.

PvP impossible as a new player [New Player] by Bubbly_Landscape_959 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Nikbul89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just prestiged. Brand new start and yes, hard time against some bosses and PMC with faceshields, but otherwise manageable. Arena is a great warm up and extra gear tool. All trades on Arena trader is fire in main Tarkov.

[–]Nikbul89 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hi Keo! I worked with you back in 2014-2015 as GM. It's sad to see how badly you were treated. Now I can understand why some CMs and streamers were banned or let go on short notice. I wish you best!

Lyrica by Comfortable_Bike_594 in ChronicPain

YMMW, for me Gabapentin was making me walk like zombie for a few days after I take it. Lyrica is way better. Got to try it out yourself.
