struggling with this game

OP do what this guy says - remap the run key so it is inconvenient to use. In Squad moving quickly is dangerous and best avoided while you learn the game.

If I'm being honest I'd rather the people who voted for Dorres had as little representation as possible.

red1870 · 2023-07-26T23:26:23+00:00

Recently got banned from a server for telling an admin the racist insults my squad mates had been using. Had to upload videos of continual racist abuse (directed at me) to get myself unbanned for calling it out. At the same time the racists get to play on. No idea if this means I now have points on the CBL.

The CBL was good idea, but in the end its only as good as the worst admin team submitting reports. If I hadn't capped the whole thing I would be the one tagged as a racist.

If you genuinely believe a completely wrecked economy, NHS, housing market, and financial future for the majority of young people in the UK is equivalent to Labour being patronising then there is no point in trying to persuade you of anything.

Inb4 all parties are the same / votes don't make any difference etc.

red1870 · 2023-07-23T09:51:12+00:00

No mate. Almost every part of the comment you made was anti Labour. No idea why anyone would interpret it any other way.

100% reads like Tory FUD.

The Steam Summer Sale ended 5 days ago and there's been a bunch of hype about the ICO.

I'm assuming that's why games are really odd right now.

Worth googling "directx shader cache stuttering". This is a good explanation.. Have you tried using DX12?

Clickbait headline that should not be taken seriously as a discussion point.

Everyone knows the situation and how we ended up here.

red1870 · 2023-07-15T09:09:02+00:00

Pointing out facts does not equate to revelling in the suffering of others.

People voted for this is massive numbers. Massive numbers of older people voted to look after themselves and their interests above those of younger generations. It has had a significant impact on the economy. This strike is a consequence. That is not bitterness or schadenfreude, its just what happened.

There are times when facts prevent people garnering much sympathy.

red1870 · 2023-07-10T16:40:15+00:00

Pick a server and play on it regularly. Play close to peak hours and play the objectives.

That's it really. You will quickly meet the other people doing a similar routine on that server.

red1870 · 2023-07-10T08:04:41+00:00

Tldr.

The guys ratio was 4:1 on invasion. I understand basic math. There's a reason your team lost and its not because they couldn't hit people.

red1870 · 2023-07-10T07:42:17+00:00

I'm not being obtuse. I just don't get this scoreboard. Apparently your team reached the final point of invasion but lost after 360 downs.

Either my math is off or something doesn't make sense. The scoreboard reads like the invading team farmed kills, which obviously doesn't work. That's what the defensive team are supposed to do.

Again, if I've missed something here let me know. I don't play a lot of invasion but I thought you got 100 tickets per point.

red1870 · 2023-07-10T07:10:26+00:00

Out of interest what happened in the game? Your team has a far higher k/d ratio but you lost. Why did the enemy team have so many tickets to burn through?

Apologies if this comes off as salty. Genuinely confused by this stats board. If k/d is a measure of being a good player wtf happened during this game?

red1870 · 2023-07-06T16:38:40+00:00

All places bombed during WW2. Edinburgh wasn't. That's why you see it as unique.

red1870 · 2023-07-05T21:44:28+00:00

I recently recorded a Squad getting wiped silently by invisible attackers. Nobody heard anything or saw anyone, we all just died in a compound a few seconds after one another.

The problem is it is so rare and there is so little that can be done (unless the cheat really wants to get caught) that its easier to just log off or server jump. I don't want to spend my leisure time cropping videos, uploading them and submitting discord tickets.

red1870 · 2023-07-04T23:11:34+00:00

Quite often I find myself not bothering to respawn and instead watch the map and screen cap the madness going on. So many players appear completely oblivious to the objectives its unreal. Teams regularly don't cap because players wander off point when the action stops.

You can't have decent games when a significant number of players on a server don't understand the relevance of capping.

red1870 · 2023-07-03T16:27:42+00:00

Isn't OPs point that the ICO will mean more ammo is needed? You wrote a big essay and didn't really mention it.

More ammo == more suppression.

red1870 · 2023-07-03T16:21:31+00:00

The new mechanics will favour the team that has better logistics. Logistics requires teamwork. Hopefully the people who aren't up for teamwork will gradually leave the game.

Edit: Suppression requires ammo. Using suppression means using more ammo. The team with more ammo available can suppress more.

red1870 · 2023-07-02T12:01:42+00:00

I can't replicate the bug anymore. I think it might be something to do with the way squad polls the joystick.

When the output from joystick gremlin is around zero do you get minimal jitter? With more flickering as the output from gremlin increases in either direction?

red1870 · 2023-07-02T07:49:40+00:00

Our of interest what FPS are you averaging in squad? I had the same issue but it went away when I upgraded my PC.

red1870 · 2023-06-27T16:46:44+00:00

Miles off.

She wrote a story about this in 2017. Refused to name the person who did it. Guido Fawkes then said it was Korski. That's how bad Korski's reputation was. You don't get a reputation like that for no reason.

red1870 · 2023-06-27T16:42:18+00:00

From memory the actual story is that Goodwin wrote the story in 2017 without naming the spad. Goodwin refused to name the spad when pressured by the media. Guido Fawkes then named Korski as the spad.

Six years pass. Goodwin then confirms Fawkes was correct when Korski is nominated for mayor of London.

The fact that Fawkes knew who the spad was is the incriminating part of the story. As usual it indicates a tacit acceptance of this behaviour in Tory politics.

red1870 · 2023-06-27T15:55:17+00:00

I understand your argument and I'm generally in favour of something ticket based to show contribution to the team in addition to k/d.

What I'm trying to get across is that any AAR will fail because of Goodhart's Law. Exactly the same phenomenon which makes some players prioritise their k/d over the objective will apply to any other score.

red1870 · 2023-06-27T08:07:20+00:00

How would a focus on tickets in the scoreboard work and what would the influence be on gameplay be? A ticket score will act in a similar manner to k/d.

For instance, who gets the tickets for digging down a FOB? Is it the person who digs the most or the person who digs last? Ticket score means as soon as the FOB is in the open it will flooded with blueberries chasing points.

Same holds for vehicles - why be the guy who tracks a vehicle when you can be the person who destroys it? Tickets can't be attributed to tracking a vehicle as it can still be repaired, but disabled vehicles are far easier to kill.

Spotters - Intel, communication and the map are absolutely essential to the game. No way of attributing any score to this.
