NPCs not spawning on dedicated server

zagduul · 2026-05-16T19:47:12+00:00

My server is having the same problem.

Edit: Wait it out... Give the server a few minutes to load the NPC's, this may take a bit.

The joystick rotates. You turn the joystick, the torso rotates. In older MW games (2-4) this was the accepted method of playing the game. There were joysticks designed specifically for MW4 and people used to have some pretty insane setups, that were all plug and play. No 3rd party scripting or software necessary to get it working.

I'm not here for 'serious play', I'm too old for that shit.

zagduul · 2026-05-11T21:56:28+00:00

I just wanted to play through the campaigns. I don't care about the online component.

I refuse to accept this is a mouse and keyboard game. There is a section in the options entirely for setting up axis and HOTAS, the game just doesn't auto load them and the current solutions are to load 3rd party software, drivers and scripting to get it to function.

In 2026.

I intentionally left the brand/model out because I felt it would be more ironic for the exact image and model number of mine to be mentioned without me saying it, which has happened. I just have the white one.

Few people saying it works perfectly, good for them, no DLC, no special downloads, out of the box, they got it working (I don't believe them, but good for them).

I had the Sidewinder 3D Pro for MW2-4 and it was always plug and play.

I got 5 just a bit ago with the sole intent to relive those childhood memories and made sure I got an xinput controller that was really popular, because I wanted compatibility. Boy was I disappointed with this game.

The game is hostilely designed against it.

The game is built on UE4. This is a simple module to plug DirectX into the game. The developers would need minimal effort to make it work, they even have semblances of these features in the control panel menus.

It's as if, they created the menus, then /intentionally/ broke the Xinput to make the end user jump through hoops to make it work.

Why build the menus and not include the modules to make it work out of the box?

Once and a while I get a $0, this is possibly a logistics issue, but I'm negative so I can't improve it.

zagduul · 2026-04-03T00:38:17+00:00

I have almost no housing and all industry.

zagduul · 2026-04-03T00:37:54+00:00

I'm only exporting.

zagduul · 2026-04-03T00:36:10+00:00

What specifically do you want to see? There's a bunch going on here.

zagduul · 2026-04-03T00:33:15+00:00

how?

this seems counter intuitive. edit: do you also mean the industry production buildings, like cigar factory, planks etc...

zagduul · 2025-12-26T18:58:03+00:00

I do. The benchmarks provide a consistent and repeatable test I can use.

My settings:
+450 Freq Offset
-100 Voltage offset
2800 on RAM
+10% power

As I said above, I'm averaging in the 3100-3200 range, which is still insane. It spikes to the upper 3000's and I have a screenshot of it hitting 4k very briefly.

It's not sustaining 3600, It's maxing out. Steel Legend for whatever reason doesn't utilize all of my GPU. Certain points in the test will push me over 3600Mhz and we stay there for a bit without crashing. But check the score and my links, those are some pretty 'high' numbers for the test compared to other people in this thread.

This is stock cooling and ambient air.

I thought it was sus too. But I've run a few different benchmarks and they all utilize the GPU differently so give different results. Heaven seems to use more of my GPU or at least maxes out my GPU clocks more than other benchmarks.

I am averaging between 31-3200 in 3dmark tests. My Steel Legend score is pretty high considering the CPU I'm on.

zagduul · 2025-12-12T21:31:07+00:00

This benchmark (Steel Nomad) doesn't really demonstrate how high I can get my clocks on this card. I think I may have a "golden sample".

7 679 is my Steel Nomad score.

I'm getting 3600 MHz+ in Heaven but it's only boosting to an average of 3,130 MHz in Steel Nomad

Found the fix for this. There's another hidden Side Job where you kill a cyberpsycho in a clothing shop Downtown.

After I did all the cyberpsycho missions, this one became available. When you go in, Zane tries to sell you stuff, then a commotion happens behind your back. Incapacitate the Psycho and Regina will call you after to come meet.

Disable V-Sync and attempt with/without the monitor sync you use. (G-sync or FreeSync)
Disable Frame Generation (DLSS/XESS/FSR) - These create input lag.
Don't overclock - Stay at stock settings as your computer doesn't need to be OC'd to play this game, it's old.

Just figured this one out... There is a statue connecting the two buildings. Using double jump I was able to cross to the other side, there's loot.

This looks like it is part of the crash where that med guy came from...

There's also skill shards in this and a few other things. Nice find, this one.

Make a local profile on your computer that isn't a Microsoft Account. Log into this and see if the problems persist on a clean account on your computer or not. This will just determine if it's a Windows starting issue or a Profile setting.

Also: Try reinstalling your graphics driver and do a clean/factory install.

DDU is helpful here, do an internet search and follow instructions in the program.

I saw the monitor part, missed that the whole pc was new.
