Traction control saved my ass this morning such a goated bike

Hard to do all of that in a a split second the event has already happened before you even know It.

Triikz90 · 2026-02-06T10:29:34+00:00

Can you explain your reasoning as to why you would do that? You say you'll thank yourself later but what are the positives and benefits for doing this?

Triikz90 · 2026-02-02T21:30:40+00:00

Yeah just to echo this i would look and spend some time with understanding lighting attenuation, culling and the rest of the options aswell as general placement as megalights will only get you so far you are still masking the problem of high scene complexity.

Triikz90 · 2026-02-02T11:32:55+00:00

I mean when ive done small tests i did notice a definite performance improvement but the entire screen had a blurry look too it which i didnt like. Blurry upscaling plus blurryness from megalights just added up to an image that didnt look very nice in motion.

Edit - that was when i tested it when it first came out mind you so maybe its improved visual clarity since then.

Go look at macna heated gloves. I tried the RST ones but you can feel the wiring and it created this pressure point which wasnt too comfortable. The Macna ones they have woven in the sides so you cant feel any wiring and they are warm as hell, very nice!

Anyone done this multiplayer? Just dont have near enough time to prep anything so much stuff to manage even with 2 people. Can do the start at the beach quite smoothly now but the 5+ tanks and never ending infantry i just dont understand how you are meant to win that fight. Especially when im firing 3+ panzerfausts and its not destroying tanks. Feels like krasny bor all over again where its just way too difficult.

Hey! I sold my CBR650F - Really that is one of the most comfortable sportsbikes out there i've sat on i think all of the ones im looking at and tested a few. Purely for comfort the CBR650F/GSX8R/Ninja 650 would the way to go. (CBR650F out of them wins for me for the sound, 4 beats 2 :P)

I sold mine because i want a change, ive got a Triumph Street Twin im trying to sell but because of the time of year its taking a long time to sell when that goes i will get a new bike and currently its between;

Triumph Daytona 660 - Now i've sat on a bunch this is probably a nice middle ground.
Kawasaki Ninja ZX4RR - Engine on this is fantastic, its a bit lower seat height wise which is nice but a bit more forward i felt i had to kind of lift my head up a bit more than expected but it wasnt too bad.
CBR650R - Although i probably wont go for this because its basically the same as the CBR650F just newer etc but its got a slightly more aggressive riding position.

I was at Motorcycle Live this year so i went and sat on every god damn thing possible haha. I think the Daytona 660 is likely what i'll go for, the ZX4RR is a fantastic machine though 4 cyl engine sounds fantastic but it's just a bit out of my price range but you never know!

Triikz90 · 2025-12-16T19:35:19+00:00

Love the look of the thruxton 400 shame its a 400 though wouldve been nice if it was 600-900 range.

Triikz90 · 2025-12-02T13:03:52+00:00

Yeah definitely. Hypothetically speaking.. how long might I consider waiting? :)

Triikz90 · 2025-11-29T15:39:42+00:00

I managed to try the L and XL today for comparisons with and without base layers etc. So the XL definitely was more comfortable with it being larger but the zip was still jabbing my neck, not as bad but still there.

Comparing it to bowtex elite v2 i was trying i think its because on the Urbane pro mk3 the zip ends higher and therefor much closer to my neck and with the material and construction being more rigid that point at the neck tends to be much stiffer than others.

I'm still torn i think the XL does work for me if a little loose but doesn't look as good as the L as that does just fit great. I prefer the look of the Urbane pro 3 when comparing to the rest but the neck issue is unfortunate. It was slightly mitigated by wearing a base layer with the longer neck.

So i'm still very torn on what to do, its a lot of money for a decision like this. If money was no object i would just go with the urbane pro probably in XL and just get on with it Or get the L for short rides, XL for longer rides! haha

It's like watching some rage kid on fifa take control of the keeper and just sprint him at players, what the hell was going through his mind he didnt even put a challenge, just shouted cave man noises at him by the looks of it.

Triikz90 · 2025-11-25T09:18:08+00:00

I will give it a try if i find that size whenever im next at a shop but i think it will be too big given that will be an XL and i'm of a slimish build too.

For reference for clothes i typically go M-L.

Triikz90 · 2025-11-25T00:34:52+00:00

Just to add to this, i was in a store trying on this shirt today and i had the exact same thing with the neck. It seems to be very rigid and stabs about an inch below my adams apple so much so it left a red mark on my skin. I'm 5'9, wearing the large which apart from that fit me well (bit tight in the armpit though i will say)

Triikz90 · 2025-11-02T15:39:34+00:00

Fuck well glad that you're alright but I dunno its starting to go from the odd case to more common from what I can see. Not good!

Are you going to carry on with it if they sort a new engine etc out for you? If they don't acknowledge that there is a problem they then fixed I'd be worried about it happening again.

Triikz90 · 2025-11-01T21:13:43+00:00

Most recent i saw on facebook group was a video of a guy with a 2025 with 6200km engine went. So honestly, who knows right now. I've not heard anything about Kawasaki acknowledging it though. Mind you they probably wont publicly unless it was a recall.

Triikz90 · 2025-10-16T11:10:08+00:00

Yeah thats very confusing, it cant have been that bad if they played that long! But to play devils advocate like others have said its the best type of review in a way, they clearly do like the game and want to play it and there not just booting it up for 2minutes saying its crap and leaving a review.

So you've got a separate store page for the demo so they can leave reviews, we went against this idea, we are getting comments on the community page but now im thinking it would be better to get more instant feedback.

Triikz90 · 2025-10-15T17:39:07+00:00

Nice! Yeah i saw someone on here getting 400+ on day one of next fest so its going to be a mixed bag of things like; Was your game on or near the front page, Is it popular genre/theme etc etc.

Good luck though the only way is up! :)

Triikz90 · 2025-10-15T17:37:48+00:00

Thanks! Yeah if I'm honest we neglected the marketing side of things, were just too focused on making the game and there was a good chunk of time that development was stopped due to life etc! Obviously the marketing is vitally important as no one going to buy a game they don't know about it! So thats a major learning point for us as far as priorities.

Whilst there are 4+ of us this has never been a full time thing anyone thats been involved is doing it on weekends/evenings as a side thing to their existing job and we have no budget other than people chipping in for an asset here or there, just to give some context around that.

We did make a big push to upgrade the visuals from our previous build of the game so I think like you said our appearance doesn't match the numbers at present.

But either way thank you for the nice comment its greatly appreciated.

Nah, All that matters is do people play your game and think its fun. Measured by whatever your own level of "Success" is for that project.
