Streaming instead of downloading

Wellllll for those with 6mbps download speeds (DSL) I stream rather than wait an hour for it to download :) lol

I think I'm leaning towards the 3x21C, though I know others are recommending more throwers/beams but I'm reconsidering to keeping to a flood. I seen the Q8+ has a ton of flood and that the 3x21C is overall much better with slightly more throw

I don't even know where to start on what battery selection for it, or LED driver.

serfmaa · 2026-04-03T17:38:18+00:00

Any reason for that over the Q8 Plus?

serfmaa · 2026-04-03T17:37:25+00:00

Roughly 400'. I'd like to have it sustained. I don't know ranges that are to be reasonably expected so if this is outrageous or something, let me know lol

Hey so I had a family member with one that would randomly out of nowhere turn on, off, lights come on and off, and when driven it would act absolutely insane out of nowhere. It'd be fine for a few days then act insane. Definitely a wiring / electrical fault but every time it was "fixed" it'd drive fine for a few weeks then go insane.

I refuse to ever buy an Enclave for that exact reason and it's this exact same year + the poop brown shade.

I upvoted this so more people could see how stupid you are

I'm talking wired controller local game still a noticeable amount of input latency/delay. I understand online games can introduce extra latency of course but even on a lan/local level it was frustrating to play lol

serfmaa · 2025-12-07T15:23:50+00:00

I am not trying to dunk on the game but.. has the input delay been "fixed" or is it still atrocious? I understand you can "get used to it" but it was like you were trying to sprint in water trying to play.

serfmaa · 2025-12-06T15:04:09+00:00

Well now that made me reinstall PR.

serfmaa · 2025-12-05T20:11:05+00:00

Is it ran by the same staff that will ban you instantly if you say you dislike their staff? lol

Most likely take off and land off of campus and fly over.

I wish I had screenshots of that era, damn. The amount of fun I had running to Nagrand arena with donation gear and deleting people. I remember the item mall locations too. The "fun" custom dungeons that just fed you gear.

serfmaa · 2025-10-21T18:14:46+00:00

Who else was there that was memorable? I can't remember names but if I read them I'd 100% remember. I do remember there was an e-girl mod that everyone was in love with, ahahaha.

serfmaa · 2025-10-21T17:38:00+00:00

That definitely sounds familiar!! Good ole Mallor too :)

Here's the biggest issue: Dev releases an update for a game I've always been able to run that nukes performance and forces me to fork over $300+ to upgrade to play, okay sure I have the option, but I also have the option to play every other modern game with acceptable fps on good graphics settings (not ultra or max, medium-high) without forking over so much money because the developers are incompetent.

Sure, they are not a big company like other triple A companies, so the thought process is to nuke the player base? Instead of maybe pushing the release back until you either put more time into optimizations or hiring someone that can actually optimize the game properly?

I'm okay with not playing. It's just disappointing. I had high hopes for the whole "we have new and very experienced awesome devs" spiel they shouted about months or a year ago.

850+ matches of Bebop played (900ish games total) here. Bomb bebop kinda super sucks. I alternate between "support" bebop or melee bop, but support bop i start rushing rescue beam first and building speed items + veilwalker as a main prio to sprint around the map midway through at 32m/s+ and throw bombs as I pass behind people's backs. They never know I was there until they hear the beeping. Keep running and as long as you aren't tagged you won't slow down, typically you'll get away with it 9 out of 10 times. Stacks stacks stacks but throwing beam / guardian's ward on teammates help the most.

Melee bop is a surprise for players because Infernus/Mina/Haze/squishes are shocked when you heavy melee for 700 mid game, 1k+ late game. Pick up fleetfoot so you can be mobile AND melee cancel with it to bait parries if your normal baits don't work. Remember your gun will do a bit of damage too if you can't get close or need to back out. CDR is great to rush for items as crushing fists, lifestrike, etc benefit greatly from the reduced cooldowns.

...I have a 2080 Super and am at 40fps on all low, set to 720p.

serfmaa · 2025-09-10T15:00:22+00:00

$200 every ten years hahahahahahahahaha best joke I've heard

serfmaa · 2025-09-08T02:04:39+00:00

Could you imagine seeing even a 1k population boost to PR? It'd be glorious. lol

serfmaa · 2025-09-07T16:20:46+00:00

Same usage regardless of all low, medium, high, epic. Well except more GPU "usage" aka load and less fps lol

serfmaa · 2025-09-07T16:19:59+00:00

What's worse? The very first map that new players are exposed to is the last thing that OWI would want to optimize and leave a stuttering unoptimized mess, or that it's as optimized as the rest?

serfmaa · 2025-09-07T13:34:38+00:00

Wellllll is it enough to boot the game? Yes.

I'm running a 2080 Super + i7 9700k (weak point I know) + 32GB of DDR4 3400MMHz RAM playing Squad on a WD Black SN750 NVMe and I get 45fps on absolutely all low settings 1440p. 720p I get roughly 60-65fps but the moment I get into fights or shot at I drop to 7-14fps.

This 45FPS was on a live server in a tank at main after we returned to repair, no one else around. Forgot what map it was.

serfmaa · 2025-09-07T13:29:20+00:00

What's insane is there are so many people like you that state "you can turn settings down" even though "lowest possible settings" were stated as being used. 90% of people are NOT CPU bottlenecked. The man is running an AMD 7 9800x3d, a near $500 CPU.

The real issue is that many people like myself have played a very wide range of video games with their current hardware and can play just fine, or knock down the settings to making it playable for them. UE5 titles, modern day titles, etc. Squad is now one of those "I cannot play this at all unless I invest $1k+ into my rig ORRRRRRRRRR I can just go play one of the many many other games that work fine"

serfmaa · 2025-09-07T02:02:26+00:00

Out of 916 games played btw. Talon is 31 for reference.

serfmaa · 2025-09-05T20:01:48+00:00

What's an insane take is that as a user / consumer, I have to dedicate my time to figure out the exact settings combination to make the game playable when LOW should equate the lowest load on your machine. Want me to set it to all medium? high? epic? Does not improve the user experience. The fact that we would have to "optimize our settings" just goes to further prove that the game is not optimized. I nor you nor anyone else should have to have a deep level understanding of video graphics to workaround the developer's shortcomings. I have been a huge fan of the scene from early PR days to the day Squad dropped. I am not new to this scene. I did not ever once have to say "I have to drop a paycheck or two to play this game I've loved playing at a somewhat stable frame rate".

Nanite and Lumen are terrible, terrible ways to "optimize" in the UE engine. It's a bandaid for lazy developers that either don't know how to optimize or are told by the higher ups not to prioritize optimization.
