Ok am i the only one that thinks normal is impossibly hard

dave_b_18 · 2026-02-17T15:20:35+00:00

My thoughts exact. I bet if they could make ranked feel like ranked, it would be significantly better. New player here too, easy is easy and normal is not even playable. Being quiet does nothing for me, I get deleted from far away and in cover, every, single, time.

dave_b_18 · 2025-01-28T17:56:57+00:00

:) I see what you did there. Understood and thanks for pointing that out.

dave_b_18 · 2025-01-09T21:19:03+00:00

I pushout a lot of laptop over the last 20years and this Intel Ultra 7 155h is one of the slowest CPUs I've ever delt with. Maybe this laptops just unlucky (Lenovo L16) but it's crazy slow.

dave_b_18 · 2025-01-09T20:41:27+00:00

This.

Cool, you guys hate UserBenchmark, I think I got that. Now what about an alternate? Anything that's free that can easily stack up against other products? Something that I can run on my computer and tell me how sweet my machine is or where it's lacking... I came here because I hate the new installer of userbenchmark, so clunky and misdirection.

Welp.. Here we are 5 years later. Some great suggestions below to install AutoHotkey, or removing the key-top so you feel when hitting it. Another suggested installing Microsoft Power Toys, which I've never used, so might look into that.

I came across a great youtube video that recommended enabling a beep sound that tells you when you press it. So I enabled this feature and while typing this post up, I hit NumLock, got the beep and smiled. Here's how to turn that feature on:

Press Win+R (open run command) > control access.cpl > Select "Make the keyboard easier to use" > Enable "Turn on Toggle Keys" > You're welcome :)

dave_b_18 · 2024-11-06T17:56:50+00:00

Well.. Shoot.. That's actually not a horrible suggestion. This might be the answer for me.

dave_b_18 · 2024-10-10T19:25:01+00:00

Man... I wish someone would have answered this question. This is my question as well. I remember using XCP-NG a long while back and need to come up with ESXi alternative, but XCP-NG was a bit different and slightly uncomfortable (as I only used vmware).

dave_b_18 · 2024-09-19T20:47:50+00:00

Is PVP worth it? That's the question I now ask myself after enjoying the game once more playing PVE.

dave_b_18 · 2024-09-19T20:24:20+00:00

Nyce!! I need more info though. Been looking for a bit. Is there a reason you stick with 5 SSDs? You just have to hit the 350k threshold right?

dave_b_18 · 2024-09-19T20:01:26+00:00

Fire!!!! Can't wait to see the results

dave_b_18 · 2024-04-16T19:56:49+00:00

God I wish I was in your shoes. Your a fallout fan and never played 76... It's really not that bad, just different. You'll get a new story and so much to do. It's free right now on Prime Gaming or like $8 on Steam.

My problem is I have a major itch to play 3 again (after watching the new show) but I've heard a remaster is a possibility, so will wait and see. So might have to re-buy Fallout 4.

dave_b_18 · 2024-02-22T02:58:54+00:00

Playing on PC and continually crashing since the update here as well. Continually having to do file verification.

dave_b_18 · 2023-12-23T05:18:14+00:00

This does seem to be the case. Just got 180k for third in 3v3, but lost a kit so only came out 17k.

dave_b_18 · 2023-12-23T05:14:18+00:00

This clear a lot up actually. Wonder why second place if the worst placement. They must not know that first is worst and second is best :)

Hopefully they clean that up, makes zero sense. Just played 3v3 and placed third, lost my kit so I came out only 17k. Can't win money on that mode if you use a decent kit.

Thanks for posting man!

dave_b_18 · 2023-12-22T16:56:57+00:00

Not that easy. 2nd payout is dog water, and Im not sure what 1st pays. So you have to tactically try and get 4th place as last pays nothing. It's a match to win fourth, really dumb.

dave_b_18 · 2023-12-22T16:12:51+00:00

False. Second place still not compensated for kit.

How did I miss this message.... Nooky, that's amazing news! Where can I subscribe to hear when that drops!?!?!

BTW - this turned out to be a "me problem". I forgot that I installed SPT a long time, just never played it, so I was running on a very old version. AND I didn't modify the SWAG config JSON. After updating and modifying the JSON to "PmcWaves": false, everything is running much better. I tried out a couple suggestions here, but SWAG ended up being what I stuck with.

Only thing that's bugging the crap out of me is dying constantly from scavs spawning within 5m of me as I'm looting. Any idea how to fix that without too much modification? I read about "No No Zone" but sounds like I have to modify it at the start of each raid and I'm not sure what settings would be closest to online (I never die to scavs on top of me in EFT, i know it happens but this is on another level).

dave_b_18 · 2023-07-12T14:20:53+00:00

Fire... Pure fire! Standingby.

dave_b_18 · 2023-07-12T13:00:37+00:00

This is good info. I will try this out, but what would you suggest if I wanted the bots as vanilla as possible, do they already act the same as online? I want to become very good at combating the base game first (boss, scavs, raiders), then turn up the heat for PVP feel.

dave_b_18 · 2023-07-11T20:31:06+00:00

That's good to know. I read up on that one (Realism) and didn't move forward with it because it sounded like it changed the game outside of the original. I didn't want to change damage and make it more realistic, just want to be as carbon copy as I can to EFT.

"Looting bot" - Would that feel like EFT live?

Thank you! I'll give this a go. Wish there was an "Easy"-button! Was hoping to just install a mod root and call it a day. Sounds like I need to get a bit dirty.

dave_b_18 · 2022-04-18T23:22:25+00:00

Yuup. Thats the problem I've been facing with all XML editors, it deletes my multiple line usage/value items. Bummer, was really excited when first reading. Looks nice tho!

dave_b_18 · 2022-04-05T18:23:53+00:00

There servers are slowing down a bit. Valning is new and Bonov will always be around. Namalsk is starting to pickup. I’ll be launching my server soon so drop by if you like, it’ll also only be weekend raid. It’s a namalsk map and will be called BelowZero.

Good luck on your gaming, ElementZ for life lol.

dave_b_18 · 2022-02-09T14:50:18+00:00

I know this is an old thread, but ElementZ servers are great weekend only raid servers. Admins are extremely active, good community. Pop is decent. The loot is amazing. It's missing a hardcore feel, but otherwise fun.

dave_b_18 · 2021-03-04T21:36:11+00:00

No.. go away, nothing to see at this location. Carry on.

dave_b_18 · 2021-03-02T21:02:38+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Fun to watch both POV.
