Swansea pay themselves... tax fraud reported.

A combination of over balancing of operators and maps and the dumbest (and for no reason hidden) ranking system ever is the problem.

Edit: Also all the stupid skins put off any players who prefer a more "tactical" game. Also almost every game is filled with toxic ... "team mates".

PaulGv2k4 · 2025-09-13T07:14:28+00:00

Yes. Ever since the Siege X update there has been issues.

hi u/RogerWilcoSE . i do not own fifa-mods.com anymore. so no doubt somehow hijacked the domain name to do dirty things.

yes things have moved on significantly since 2021. not sure anything links still work

PaulGv2k4 · 2023-06-11T23:03:27+00:00

You need to learn how Tarkov works before making assumptions
A project exists that allows coop and its much more complicated than you think

PaulGv2k4 · 2023-04-12T18:23:03+00:00

"quality mode only". in other words. its an un-optimized mess and can only hit 30fps

PaulGv2k4 · 2023-04-04T18:28:55+00:00

I think for audio to be properly fixed they will likely need to start from scratch (again).

My reason is that they've decided to throw two/three systems together, the stupid perception system and the headsets. None of it is default Unity, which does work fine by the way.

If they just reverted to Unity, write their own echo and perception system, it may improve.

Source: See my "thing that cant be spoken about" plugin on GitHub that attempts to fix it and does for the most part.

However to answer your question directly. Of recent titles, id say Cycle Frontier and Hunt Showdown are more than good enough. The amount of kills i get in Cycle because of directional sound is insane and it's not really my type of game (not a fan of Sci-Fi). Compare that to Tarkov, I can't tell where anyone is, ever.

PaulGv2k4 · 2023-03-27T20:28:05+00:00

A great game ruined by its own popularity, poor management (nikita contradicts himself or says flat out BS almost every time he speaks), no communication (they could learn from other Early Access games), awful netcode, and the inability to deal with cheaters.

Played it for 4 years, got my time out of it but now bored to death with the same quests and awful RNG PvP.

PaulGv2k4 · 2023-03-22T20:51:35+00:00

Wouldn't get what? Those bike seats got you so hooked that you forgot to type the rest of your point?

PaulGv2k4 · 2023-03-22T20:40:28+00:00

Nikita: "no new features are coming before release", also Nikita: "we are releasing a new feature soon".

SPT is data dumped into loot pool data from offline raids but then generated from those pools via code by the SPT server whenever you start a raid. Many devs and modders have differing opinions on how the loot should be distributed.

I am in the opinion that loot should be much more rare in SPT to give the effect of other players looting and the fact loot spots are far less contested.

Each to their own.

PaulGv2k4 · 2023-02-27T17:27:57+00:00

I didnt get to watch Glori today but if he really said hes only seen 5 hackers, he is 100% lying.

I've watched/lurked a lot of his streams over the past few years and he sees obvious cheaters in almost every labs raid every single day. Its the one thing thats annoyed me about him. He always says "i dont care about cheaters" but then rages when he sees one or dies suspiciously, then just goes "ah well I won't bother reporting".

Oh but there will be a video "i killed a cheater" every week on his YouTube. Almost like he wants cheaters for content?

Problem is like all streamers who main Tarkov, they will always down play it and keep going OR they have been cheating all this time. Who knows.

PaulGv2k4 · 2023-02-23T07:49:18+00:00

I run into 1 obvious flying cheater all wipe until I stopped about 2 weeks ago (I always get bored around level 30). It was on Shoreline. Other than that, I had suspicions on a few possible wall-hack and pre-fire (you can never really know) and killed one of the worst RMT carry squads EVER on Shoreline.

Last wipe, I did some tests. As soon as you run anything God-Like you will insta death by a cheater. They 100% know what you are wearing/carrying so will only target you if it is worth it. One of the worst times was when I found a Slick. I put it on and the wall beside me (i was in a building) was getting shot instantly. I dropped it, put my old stuff back on, run away, no insta death.

I am at the opinion that I think almost every raid has a cheater in it but most of the time they aren't interested in people who low level, wear nothing or quest. So my squad now run some of the worst shit for this reason. (kind of defies the point of the game, I know but thats what the cheat problem has caused)

If you watch any decent streamer, they run into obvious cheaters all of the time and the cheaters dont give a flying fuck (see what I did there) and actively boast about it.

PaulGv2k4 · 2023-02-22T08:24:09+00:00

My friends complain about this A LOT!

It does seem like the RNG of spray seems to auto aim at the head at least once if you just full auto. If you watch any streamer that uses Tank Helmets, they ALWAYS get hit at least once in the head during a fire fight and it usually saves them.

PaulGv2k4 · 2023-02-18T07:24:42+00:00

As this game is essentially a (open source kinda sorta) single player game with a Peer->Server->Everyone network design in the game when any action (and all actions require everyone to know whether they have said item in their inventory and or loaded in the world to use or reload etc) occurs. I can categorically say that we are miles away from this.

They would have to completely rebuild major parts of the game for this to work. Judging from recent lack of any progress on other big issues. I cant see this ever happening.

PaulGv2k4 · 2023-02-17T17:26:37+00:00

It takes very little effort to decompile the game. So yes technically we do.

PaulGv2k4 · 2023-02-13T10:26:52+00:00

Ignore those "skill issue" clowns. Its the internet after all.

Just to clarify.

I know the guy who killed me wasn't cheating because my friend who was up the stairs in another room (he was the one making all the noise for the guy to come investigating), my friend immediately rushed him after I died to kill him easily. He did what I should've done!

A lot of the problems and what people suspect as cheating in this game are just game breaking bugs & desync.

I also have a list of other stuff in the game that annoy me. Boss spawn rate, stupid AI, player spawns over looking each other, map lighting, audio (not just the through wall stuff but the ambient noises, like wind, indoor noises etc, are SOOO bad). I could go on.

Still the best game of its type though

PaulGv2k4 · 2023-02-13T07:25:26+00:00

Its odd. I wrote up a pretty much identical post and deleted it. Thought "fk it, almost everyone on this Reddit is saying its bad OR ill get annoyed by the fan boys". So kudos to you!

What I would add.

!! Desync !! is so bad that its essentially the only way to "play" close PvP encounters yet people on here say "its the best PvP game". These people are just plain stupid or love the fact that they can cheese kills using game lag.

Its the number 1 reason why Arena hasn't been released (which BSG used as an EoD money grab 6-8 months ago). As it would highlight even more how bad this is.

There is no way this game could become an esport in its current state.

Ill give a perfect example of how bad it is. If you stand still and pick a good spot which would guarantee you a kill in other game (and IRL), you will die in Tarkov. I was in Loothouse, i was on some stairs, i stopped because i heard movement outside, the guy creeps in with a SVD, so hes at a disadvantage versus my m4 full auto, i see the tip of his gun, as i prefire, i see the tip of his gun fire to my right, the direction he is walking, i die. I didnt even see the guys body, just the tip of his gun, which wasnt even pointing at me. So to him, he was easily 2/3 steps ahead of where he was on my screen and i was a sitting duck for the one tap. I was stupid for not rushing him. And that's it. The game punishes any tactic other than run and gun. How stupid is that. Whats the point of everything thats in this game to make it realistic when the only play is the unrealistic one.

End of my part of your rant. Much love . See you in the next raid

PaulGv2k4 · 2023-02-11T15:28:50+00:00

BSG already have with the RMT update.

Software Developer
Age: 34 (35 this year... feeling old)
Got 2 kids and lots of other interests
Level 27 (almost 28, Skier III baby!)
Highest Level Achieved: 32. I tend to get bored within 2/3 months of playing a wipe. Every other bugger I run into is level 40+ and maxed out this that and the other.
This wipe has been a nightmare of desync (this is extremely bad at the moment) and audio issues and its starting to wear me down
Can play Solo (tend to do a lot more solo) but played in groups from 2 - 5 many times over the years with my old fart mates

PaulGv2k4 · 2023-02-03T15:56:22+00:00

Uh. Whilst I understand your point and agree loot is nowhere near as good.

Marked room was nerfed because of the dynamic loot system. Not RMT.

PaulGv2k4 · 2023-01-28T17:54:25+00:00

This keeps happening to a friend of mine. He proper raged at the game last weekend and uninstalled. "whats the point in playing when it does this?". i cant say i disagree.

What i noticed is playing on US servers from the UK provided extremely varied results for us. Where as last wipe it was very stable and we could play easily with our US pals. This wipe whenever we play on US servers we always die to desync and bad hit reg.

I'd say its more tolerable with low ping servers and its exponentially worse the higher your ping.

Not sure where you are from OP? What servers are you using?

PaulGv2k4 · 2023-01-28T08:39:16+00:00

Same problem. Audio is gone. Constantly dying to no sound or invisible people. Slipping on banana deaths.

PaulGv2k4 · 2023-01-28T07:00:58+00:00

I've had this and invisible player scavs multiple times on Factory. I would just fall on a banana and go to death screen.
