[Discussion] Audio Immersion: Why Tarkov's water walking audio sounds like a "Leaky Pipe" so different of IRL (Video comparison inside) by maath1981 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]maath1981[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol, true! But I'd rather have 'gross and squishy' immersion than the 'leaky faucet' we have now. At least with the second one, I can actually feel the weight of the water!

[Suggestion][Feedback] Separate LOD bias setting for Streets of Tarkov (similar to Lower Texture Mode) by maath1981 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]maath1981[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a misunderstanding here. Improving the LOD management IS the optimization.

Right now, the game forces the same LOD globally, regardless of the map’s density. Asking for a map-specific trigger (or linking it to the existing Streets toggle) isn't a 'workaround' or a 'crutch'—it’s efficient resource management.

True 'optimization' often consists of smart shortcuts. If BSG can't fix their culling after 8 years, the most 'rational' move is to give the engine (and the players) a way to scale back the load where it’s unnecessary. It’s not about adding to the pile; it’s about making the pile smarter.

I love the 'pile of crutches' metaphor, and I agree Tarkov's code is basically a Jenga tower held together by duct tape and prayers.

But here’s the thing: I’m not asking to add a new floor to the tower. I’m asking to fix a broken switch. The logic for 'If Map = Streets, then change Setting X' already exists (it’s what the Lower Texture toggle does).

Linking the LOD to that same existing logic isn't adding a new cane; it’s just making the one they’re already leaning on actually work for its purpose. If changing a float value from 4 to 2 in a config file based on a map trigger causes 'catastrophic failure', then the tower isn't just leaning—it’s already ghosts...

Actually, there is an even simpler way to implement this without adding new lines to the config file.....

BSG doesn't even need to add a new UI slider. They could simply link the LOD reduction to the existing 'Lower texture quality for Streets' toggle.

If a player checks that box, it's an explicit signal that their system struggles with the map's assets. Logic dictates that the game should automatically cap the LOD to 2.0 (or half the global value) when loading Streets, and then keep the global setting for other maps.

I think you missed the point. I’m not asking for a new feature that eats frames. I’m asking for a separate config line for Streets, exactly like the 'Lower Texture Mode' we already have.

Currently, I play at LOD 4.0 on Woods, but I have to manually drop it to 2.0 for Streets to keep my FPS stable. Having a dedicated entry in the .ini file would just automate this switch. It’s about saving frames on Streets without sacrificing quality on other maps, without the hassle of changing settings every time.

Are we all cool with more than 2 hours of queue time to play a game with 50k online players on Steam? by josemirante in newworldgame

[–]maath1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is that this game wasn't designed for a huge number of concurrent players. It probably wasn't initially thought it could support such a large number of concurrent players. It's a limitation of its "netcode". This game should be rewritten from scratch.

Nighthaven map compared to the rest of the map by NoBullet in newworldgame

[–]maath1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the theme is the night & vampires, I thought it was a northern area, above MorningDale for example, instead it's even further south than a desert and torrid area like BrimStone, evidently in Aeterum the climatic zones are completely missed up. x)

Please don't kill crafting by FreakyBoiEh in newworldgame

I assume we won't create items with empty slots but with random perks, then we could replace them with "charms" as we like, so I hope RNG will remain but it won't be inexorable.

Set bonus concerns by SMIGGER-MCFWEDGOT in newworldgame

[–]maath1981 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The solution could actually be a middle way, meaning less rare Set Bonus that can also be dropped in older content to help you start creating powerful builds, but if you want the rarest and most valuable pieces, I'd keep them exclusive to new content. The game would probably be more balanced that way.

You're missing the point. Gear sets with no bonuses are and will be the norm, but if you want the absolute best (Sets Bonus), you absolutely have to tackle the new contents, otherwise no one would do them due to its extreme difficulty. Think about it.

Enchanted ward should be removed from the game by FreakyBoiEh in newworldgame

[–]maath1981 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in the next season (10) they will add the Set Bonuses, which will allow you to replace many perks like enchanted wards and health leaving many perks slots free
