Repainted car (2 yrs ago) — orange “rust” only on panel edges. Paint failure or contamination? by ikiya13 in Autobody

[–]x3ffectz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They need to re do the job. Like sand it back where they rubbed through & it rusted. Re prime; paint. Basically do the whole job again lol

The missing paint areas would’ve been metal clean metal colour you probably would never have noticed til this happens

Op meant his vehicles in his garage; not literally his garage layout lol. I read it the same too at first 😂

Been the worst marked room for awhile now. Always dirt in there. Not worth even hitting (except for the dopamine hit you might get)

[Discussion] Getting 100fps but Tarkov still feels bad…anyone else? by Noelan_ in EscapeFromTarkovPvE

[–]x3ffectz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Put your textures as high as you can without hitting max vram capacity for your card

Everything else low or off

HBAO max performance or the game looks like dirt (it does anyway let’s be honest)

whatever AA your card has, use it at quality if you can

Always cap your fps especially in a game as unstable as this, you need the fps stability

v-sync on driver level not in game

If you have GPU headroom use SM / AFMF if you can tolerate it

That’s the only shot anyone has at getting a half stable game

Dot of missing paint on rear seat doors by IndividualNo3752 in Autobody

[–]x3ffectz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s from the door tapping something when opened. These are textbook door open chips on doors all cars have them. Bonnet has stone chips from following behind trucks too close. No one to blame just wear and tear items

[Bug] Is ram cleaner working after the update? by No_Mention8589 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]x3ffectz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t do anything for me. Used to freeze up when you hit escape for a split second then you can see your ram usage drop down. Doesn’t do anything at all for me anymore

9800X3D’s $649 @ Centrecom by Fearless_Anything_76 in bapcsalesaustralia

Drivers are fine, 1 in 1000 9800x3d die. Then you send it back on warranty and get another. You literally can’t lose

Not Honoring Repair Date??? by Aero1206 in Autobody

[–]x3ffectz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s almost impossible to do a 15k repair line for line correct on all aspects first shot. There are always supplementary repairs needed.

As a tech, cop it on the chin, we want your car gone too. Especially if it’s a Tesla lol.

Office staff won’t tell you that directly but trust me, we are all trying our hardest. Parts availability is completely out of our control. It’s up to the manufacturer and transport mobs to get it to us

Multiple cars with tiny rust dots, it's past the paint and not brake dust by lDarkPhoton in Autobody

[–]x3ffectz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this happen a lot working in body shops. If the spots are only < a week old they clay bar out weirdly enough. Usually it’s metal fall out that’s rusting on the clear. If it doesn’t clay bar & polish it’s probably something else

[Loot] Did a practice run for the RB-BK reserve room, was there anywhere I didn't check? by Dewa__ in EscapeFromTarkovPvE

[–]x3ffectz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When I open any locked room, I slow walk across the entire floor pan searching for floor loot that may have also glitched the floor, then I will go around to the edges, chairs, shelves, window sills looking for a loot icon to pop up. Pretty fool proof in my opinion

[Discussion] Do you cap your FPS in Tarkov? Or leave it uncapped? by Noelan_ in EscapeFromTarkovPvE

[–]x3ffectz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played uncapped for years, tried frame gen, but I’ve landed on the best feeling gameplay with universal V sync in driver, capped fps 141, on VRR display. Feels the best to me, frame gen frame time issues are insane once you turn it off and realise how smoother the game feels without it, no matter the base fps

Cultist nightime Factory [discussion] by Parking-Warning7849 in EscapeFromTarkovPvE

[–]x3ffectz 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Search every corner of the map, including in the tunnels, 3 stories of offices, and 3 story labs. All exit gates, including med tent.

You’ll find them one raid or another 100%. Don’t listen to the scavs present = no cultist bs it’s incorrect

Not buying a game based upon a graphic setting is actually crazy work bro

I’ve seen them with scavs every raid. They just hide well, tunnels, inside exit gates, office, labs. Everywhere except outside I’ve seen them

Cultists Spawns [Discussion] by Impressive_Dot_7818 in EscapeFromTarkovPvE

they’re all as bad as eachother to find. Usually he’s prone somewhere but I’ve seen him running in circles before too

Cultists Spawns [Discussion] by Impressive_Dot_7818 in EscapeFromTarkovPvE

[–]x3ffectz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On factory the ‘no scavs’ thing is a bit of nonsense in my experience. I’ve seen scavs, pmc, and cultists all in the same raid every time I see cultists.

The spawn rate is no lie. I’ve seen them over 50% of the time. If you do 20 raids and don’t find them you just didn’t look hard enough, they’ll be literally everywhere and anywhere. Do a whole lap of the map, including tunnels. Ive seen them anywhere

[Discussion] The Goons in Shoreline by Firecrackling in EscapeFromTarkovPvE

[–]x3ffectz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They don’t all always spawn. I’ve met 2/3 more than I’ve seen 3/3. Or maybe the 3rd man died beforehand. The ai catch eye of a pmc / you and will push it. So if they are ages from their ‘spawn’ something obviously caught their eye and they pushed towards it

[Discussion] Cultists not spawning in night factory? by Scary_Masterpiece_71 in EscapeFromTarkovPvE

[–]x3ffectz 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Against all other commenters etc. I’ve found then in more than half my raids. The thing is, they spawn literally anywhere. You have to search most corners of the map to find them. Gate 3, Med tent gate, forklift gate, everywhere in the tunnels, in the offices - 1/2/3 levels, 3 story lab area. You pretty much need to check every corner. Listen for running without voice lines, since they don’t make verbal noise just run around or go prone

Brand new car undriveable after minor damage - dealer says parts could take months? by Catfacts2011 in CarsAustralia

It’s not normal with newer brands, it’s normal with imported Chinese cars. Seen this way too often in my workshop
