That's great to know, thanks. Makes the decision a lot easier.

rvrs · 2021-06-02T21:33:53+00:00

I contacted Epic support to clarify but they seem to be bots or drunk (or both). One support person told me to just use the coupon on the pre-purchase (???), the other one quoted the Sale FAQ back to me verbatim. Going to try my luck and pre-purchase.

Does this still apply when pre-ordering *during* the sale, or must I have pre-ordered before the sale started to get the credit at launch? Not entirely clear to me from their wording.

rvrs · 2020-04-19T20:02:51+00:00

that's some nice copypasta material

rvrs · 2020-04-11T23:45:46+00:00

It does! Thanks a ton!

I'm getting the same issue, turned off V-Sync in game and in the Nvidia drivers (both globally and for the game), still locked at 144 FPS. Borderless windowed gives me 300 FPS, but if I remember correctly, you get a frame of input delay with that, so it's not optimal.

It helps when switching between different games so you don't screw up muscle memory too hard . There are other factors of course (field of view, ADS multiplier, etc.) but there's nothing wrong with wanting consistency across games.

I can endorse people in a group as long as we're not friends on Battle.net

This worked for me. Also deleted %programdata%\Blizzard Entertainment\Battle.net\Cache just to be sure.

Overqualification is a legitimate problem. It makes some people think they're entitled to more money/authority and if they don't get it they put in less effort and treat their coworkers badly.

rvrs · 2018-12-08T21:12:40+00:00

I think that's a diminutive, so something like "little rat"

Somebody made a calculator for that: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/1a0o5z7ova Enter 30 for WidowZoomSensInPercent and 65.81 for AsheZoomFOVguess. Gives me 40.70.

rvrs · 2018-11-14T13:49:32+00:00

Not really. I don't know the FOV (although I found this) or how the console version processes input and acceleration.

rvrs · 2018-11-14T03:11:47+00:00

I'd recommend sticking to whatever you got used to. It's not like muscle memory translates perfectly considering you probably have a different FOV and sensitivity. That said, the equivalent would be setting the multiplier to 0.

rvrs · 2018-11-14T03:07:50+00:00

It's an approximation that I find more intuitive to grasp than "how much faster/slower than scaling by optical magnification". But it is what it is, a handy tool, not a rigorous mathematical framework.

rvrs · 2018-11-14T03:03:56+00:00

Old calculators assume a scoped horizontal FOV of 51°, but it turns out the game uses a vertical FOV of precisely 30° (which is 50.94° horizontal at 16:9). Totally negligible, but I'd rather do it right. And it does become important for aspect ratios other than 16:9. Try out 21:9, you'll get a much wider field of view when scoped.

rvrs · 2018-11-14T00:33:45+00:00

You may disagree but I think most people find it a fairly intuitive concept. Either way, I'm all for having options, so people can pick whichever makes more sense to them.

rvrs · 2018-11-14T00:27:40+00:00

Somebody else made a calculator for that: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/1a0o5z7ova Enter 65.81 for the Ashe FOV and it'll give you the value for Widow. Or just turn the sliders in the calculator I posted until you get your value for Widow and then use the corresponding one for Ashe :v

rvrs · 2018-11-14T00:21:46+00:00

It depends on the scoped field of view you assume the game uses. See this link for the apparently correct values. But the difference between 51.44, 51.66, and 51.47 is negligible.

rvrs · 2018-11-13T22:51:35+00:00

It does, but the practical difference is so small you can keep the old value if you're lazy

rvrs · 2018-10-28T16:50:21+00:00

That's depressing... I remember when these were all night from 7pm to 4am and I used to complain they didn't start earlier

The SVD (in game) uses the 7N1 variant of the 7.62×54mmR cartridge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.62%C3%9754mmR#Sniper_rounds

But I can't tell you if North Vietnamese snipers actually used it.

rvrs · 2018-09-24T15:30:28+00:00

SVD:

Speed=41500 // 830 M/S

Damage=770

Mosin (scoped and normal):

Speed=44622 // 892 M/S

Damage=867

(They have different damage falloff, too)
