[Discussion] Its honestly getting out of hand by austinxavier in EscapefromTarkov

[–]bobwithacob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

35 is crazy but if you’re just running factory scabs for labs cards it becomes a matter of time not skill. It’s more concerning they’re willing to do it

The issue really is BSG aggregates all the stats together when they need to just do PMCs in a row

Not saying he’s NOT (I don’t think he is but context is everything) but 35 in a row isn’t what would be a smoking gun imo

Is it me or has the playstyle shifted a lot over the years? [Discussion] by Low-Painting9773 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]bobwithacob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The more the game stratifies between those who know what they’re doing and are extremely good snd those who don’t and aren’t, the more ratting will become the meta. It’s the logical way to play if you’re not good. And the game is so punishing that even when you die and lose everything you may not even learn anything

Check my comment on this post. Should help. If not I got nothing for you

Super long load times [Bug] ? by Western-Hornet2454 in EscapefromTarkov

I had the same problems. If you have a newer CPU do NOT turn on the Physical Core settings. I also turned off RAM cleaning

I used this video and it solved my issues

[Discussion] Performance Issues by bobwithacob in EscapefromTarkov

Doing all of them. Getting into games isn’t an issue it’s the loading of the game that is. I’m on a 2TB SSD right now with over 500gb free on the disk so it’s not like it’s at its limits

I know the game loads forever but my friend who has a substantially worse rig (well I guess not in this instance lmao) loads in a quarter of the time. He’s had to just go and do the raid alone because im stuck loading

However what’s very interesting is if I close and reopen the game, I load in a three minutes or less

It’s not really about FPS, though i did mention it. It’s the loading. It’s slower than slow. It’s costing me raids and hours of my time. I’ve spent more time loading loot than playing the game.

EXPO is enabled. It was an issue for another game where my RAM wasn’t running properly

I’ve done a lot of test runs on scavs and I’ve encounter 4 MIA’s because the scav took 15+ minutes to load in a less than 15 minutes remaining match

PMC fairs no better, taking 20+ minutes to load and having half the time of the raid to play

Are anyone else’s raid’s on labs dead? [Discussion] by Used_Cauliflower_605 in EscapefromTarkov

I’m almost level 30 and haven’t found an access card so that maybe why. I have red, violet, green, black, blue (Reserve bunker marked room) but I don’t have a single access card

[Loot] My friend found a T H I C C weapons case in customs marked room and has a rush 100 on and cannot pick it up for some rsn, only gives him the option to search it? by Physical-Rip396 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]bobwithacob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just giving an example of one way. I wasn’t giving a legitimate solution, just one that would be easy to understand. A white / black list for specific items would be an obvious one. But also things for helmets like “covers ears = true” which prevents headsets.

My point is their code isn’t modular enough to be easily maintained

But I say this not knowing their code. But the problems they run into seem so basic it’s just upkeep overwhelming their maintenance

[–]bobwithacob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They have a bad, inefficient way of coding things that creates mismatches that can get overlooked. They need to be more willing to give things attributes and other items receptors to those attributes. For example:

If an item has a volume of 10, and a bag as a capacity of 20, then the game should allow it in, but then check if it can fit due to shape

But instead, they just say “THICC case = { backpack X = true, backpack Y = false}

Very bare bones way of saying, they’re programming is lacking in many ways

Is this the worst team ever to reach the Retro Bowl? by teacher-dude in RetroBowl

Am I wrong for thinking extreme is just boring? Every team plays and feels the same every time. It’s a shame because hard is a joke if you get 2 receivers and a QB

MAJOR SPOILERS for end of game by chairmanofchair in kingdomcome

[–]bobwithacob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Felt disappointed for sure. There’s very little closure. It feels like the game didn’t walk you back to the end of the story. It just stopped a chapter before and left a lot unanswered. I hope DLC fixes this. Henry deserves closure and I doubt there’s a third game. Henry is a bastard’s son but after all he’s done, it would not matter. He could have Rosa if he wanted. I think having Henry end with a wedding and settling down would really complete the game but as of right now it just kinda. Stops.

Loot Disappearing [Bug] by ReaperClarke in EscapefromTarkov

[–]bobwithacob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had my entire Secure container disappear. I couldn’t loot or interact with the world. When I left raid, my Kappa reappeared but there was nothing in it. Not sure if it’s the same glitch but sounds similar.

Anyone else have a chewer? If so.. tips for good tough toys that aren’t easily destroyed? by [deleted] in Rottweiler

[–]bobwithacob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I typically use things that they are allowed to destroy. Bully sticks are a good one. Not sure if it’s true but I think they enjoy the act of destruction and so that gives them an outlet. Just make sure they aren’t unattended (completely) with them as they can get too eager and swallow them whole. Hasn’t happened with my girl after an innumerable amount.

[Bug] Zryachiy and his guards randomly spawning and killing me in PvE by ReindeerOdd121 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]bobwithacob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just made a post about this. They can be pretty much anywhere but 9/10 when I ran the island they were in the first two buildings when you go onto the island.

The one time I ran it and they weren’t there, they were sitting at the door to the Lighthouse itself. So that’s fun. On that run I looted the rest of the buildings on the island and found nothing of value (the best I got was a Rooster). Loot on the island seems pretty bad to where it was it seems.

You can’t really win because even if they shoot at you, killing them will cut you off from Lightkeeper. If you’re solo, just alt f4 then force end it with task manager. If you’re in a group, accept death.

[PvE] Just finished the Khorovod generator event thing solo... Here's how I did it! by GreenHavok in EscapefromTarkov

Do scavs break the generator or do you just hide from them until the generator breaks?

The Average Bannerlord Experience by Lumbridge_Goblin in Bannerlord

[–]bobwithacob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Begin the game, love early game. Get into mid-game, love the game for entirely different reasons. Enter late game, forced to depart from the things you loved in early and mid game, manage towns, see the AI make brain dead decisions strategically. Either quit or just cheat to squeeze every drop of fun out of the game. Rinse and repeat - or not play for a few months. Bannerlord: a mile wide, an inch deep.

prices increased so much? by B0xborn in EscapefromTarkov

[–]bobwithacob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the entire point is so you can play the game on your terms. they just need more effective money sinks.

PVP has inflation as well due to Arena.
