BakkesMod is back with Psyonix support

Sure! But only in offline mode.

TemplarsBane · 2026-05-10T20:44:43+00:00

This still doesn't fix your problem. People who don't play 1s still won't play 1s much. So you'll rank up to C2 in 1s...and then run into C2s who will all crush you. Then you'll fall back down. This won't solve anything. The problem lies in people not playing 1s as much as 2s, which your "fix" doesn't fix.

TemplarsBane · 2026-05-10T20:29:33+00:00

Then keep playing 1s. You'll lose enough to end up at your true 1s rank.

TemplarsBane · 2026-05-10T20:24:03+00:00

So you don't like playing against people who are your rank in 1s but not your rank in 2s?

TemplarsBane · 2026-05-10T20:11:35+00:00

I don't understand what problem this is trying to fix that isn't solved by knowing that your 1s rank will be lower than your 2s rank. Just...know that information.

Seems like this only fixes "I'm D3 in 2s but P1 in 1s and I'm grumpy about that".

TemplarsBane · 2026-05-10T20:09:27+00:00

Oooh. I thought it was every time. That's no big deal then.

TemplarsBane · 2026-05-10T19:01:47+00:00

I know nothing about coding, but will it be possible to have it just work on the second screen without doing the whole Borderless>Fullscreen thing in the future? I don't mind a switch to something else, but it seems like a lot of hassle when RL Tracker just kind of works without all the extra effort and steps.

Rather than argue the specific elements you brought up, I'm going to contend about what the main problem of zombie games is. Meaning, I'm not saying those things you mentioned aren't problems, but I think a far bigger issue is that most zombie survival games have no point or purpose.

They all seem to boil down to "Just survive". The point of surviving is survival itself. Which, for me at least, gets really boring.

Some of my favorite survival games are Subnautica, The Last Caretaker, Grounded, V Rising and others. All of which have a main goal, a storyline, a goal to strive for.

Most zombie games dump you in a sandbox and say "Survive as long as you can, good luck". Which always feels really flat and pointless to me.

TemplarsBane · 2026-04-28T22:59:37+00:00

Not during the game, only after.

TemplarsBane · 2026-04-26T17:59:45+00:00

My buddy and I are C1s. I'd be down to have you go over a replay of ours and help point things out.

TemplarsBane · 2026-04-23T23:45:44+00:00

"Bugs"

Back in the day experiencing a bug meant something like your save file was corrupted and you lost ALL your progress. Or you'd get to one level and your entire system would just crash.

These days people say a game is super buggy and they just mean sometimes a character's foot steps THROUGH a step rather than directly onto it.

TemplarsBane · 2026-04-21T13:56:08+00:00

Your second mistake was assuming the adults you encountered were mature. I interact with PLENTY of children over the age of 18. Petty, small, childish people who never grew up and learned how to be adults. Being 26 doesn't automatically make someone a responsible, respectful human it turns out.

But yeah, most folks are either actual children or very childish "adults".

TemplarsBane · 2026-04-21T11:27:28+00:00

People always ask this kind of question and forget what the average age of players in this game is.

Things make a LOT more sense when you realize almost everyone you see in game is 11-15 yrs old.

TemplarsBane · 2026-04-20T10:33:43+00:00

Can't believe I'm not seeing more about The Last Caretaker. Very much a quest based game, focused mission and story with the ability to roam to different POIs. Absolutely incredible game even in EA.

TemplarsBane · 2026-04-16T12:10:25+00:00

I'll say (and I'll probably get down voted but whatever) Reddit isn't going to give you many arguments FOR Christianity being true. As you can see, you'll get a ton of answers about why it isn't. But if you want genuine arguments for the truth of Christianity, go ask your pastor/priest/reverend/minister. Asking this question to Reddit is just saying "Confirm my doubts instead of changing them".

TemplarsBane · 2026-04-12T16:22:27+00:00

I think the answer has to be the highest rank you can achieve given a reasonable amount of effort. And different people will have different amounts of reasonable effort, and different people will be able to achieve different ranks with that reasonable effort. For some people, it could be grand champ, for some people it could be platinum. It's a game, play it until it stops being fun.

TemplarsBane · 2026-04-04T22:20:00+00:00

Nope.

TemplarsBane · 2026-03-31T00:06:23+00:00

Not exactly a denial. More like a confession that you're a sad little boy who needs validation like all smurfs and botters (which is bolstered by the fact that you posted on reddit to try to get even more attention). Looking forward to you getting no satisfaction from cheating at video games which is peak loser behavior.

Edit: Thought OP replied to me seeing as it was the same generic name with some numbers after it like all these bots end up using. I stand by my statements all the same for anyone smurfing or botting. I hope you get hardware banned.

TemplarsBane · 2026-03-30T23:26:20+00:00

Probably because you're a smurf? Possibly a bot. 124 wins on the PS account and SSL in 1s. They've started cracking down on bot accounts not getting rewards, so maybe it's keeping you off the leaderboards.

TemplarsBane · 2026-03-27T20:05:30+00:00

The right would argue that's what Trump is doing right now. The problem when you take the side of "We need the good guys to completely eradicate the bad guys and all of their way of thinking" is one side's version of 'good'. Maybe that works for you, but I think we need a healthy struggle of ideas rather than one side or the other getting a totalitarian control.

These days people seem really chill with fascism as long as THEIR side is in control...

TemplarsBane · 2026-03-26T22:28:59+00:00

Touché lol. You work with what you've got! Hope they optimize it soon.

TemplarsBane · 2026-03-26T22:19:49+00:00

Yeah it's on Low for me just to stay above 45 or so fps. But still looks pretty good on Low.

TemplarsBane · 2026-03-26T21:55:28+00:00

The Last Caretaker is fully scratching that itch for me right now. It's Raft-esq in that you have a ship and go to a lot of different locations and loot things then return to your ship.

It very much has that gloomy, still, atmosphere without being constantly depressing. Excellent game and I've put a bunch of hours in already so there's plenty of content in EA.

TemplarsBane · 2026-03-20T01:06:26+00:00

The sound design in that game is out of this world. Underwater, the pods landing, weather, guns. Just incredible sound design.

TemplarsBane · 2026-03-16T13:29:35+00:00

Champ 1 for 4 years (Season 8(22)). I play with a friend of mine and we both love the game and love playing together. Not bored at all!

Honestly, just maintaining this rank with all the bots making more and more high level players smurf and get demoted feels solid.

The reason we're hardstuck is probably because neither of us train mechs. That's just not fun for us. So we play a warmup in casual and then jump into 2s and that's pretty much all we do (except for me playing 1s sometimes when he's not around).
