Support NeoGAF

[aravuus]

Goddamn, solo is so boring when you're used to playing duo and squad games with your friends. I guess I'll try squading up with randoms the next time none of my friends are playing.

Hey! I got second place with a Uzi last night.

I camped a spot that was luckily in the circle the whole game

[boneyjangles]

I have a good GPU, but just an i5 3570K slightly overclocked.

Is there a CPU upgrade, drop-in or not, that would give me better considerably better fps in this game? Hard to find much information on CPU benchmarks and this game.

Could turning my settings higher really take load off CPU and onto GPU and improve my fps?

So uh....

When you punch a player and they are knocked out how exactly are you supposed to kill them without any weapons?

This game needs a ground kick for downed players.

 

[Bread]

holy shit

now that's an update

 

[Nabs]

Damn, that's a nice looking update.

 

[Twookie]

update looks amazing

Fixed an issue when the voice chat volume blasted momentarily after getting on an airplane.

thank FUCKING god - godtier update

 

[ultron87]

Are the destructible cabins just the existing little shacks?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I'd be very upset about UMP recoil, but adding burst mode to it and Vector is huge, as well as the other changes.

(Also: I can't tell off the top of my head without seeing it first whether burst fire would be good or bad for Vector. You'd certainly be able to control it better at non-point blank ranges)

 

[Burt]

Destructible cabins, you say?

All we need now are suit cosmetics and a private server that's only shotguns, tommy guns, 1911s, and revolvers.

UMP needed some nerfs, honestly. It was so powerful even without any accessories.

I'll miss that little beast!

 

[Fried Food]

Omg this update sounds better than I ever imagined. This update is LIT!

yeah same, UMP is one of my favorite weapons in the game :/

that nerf was probably needed though

Ye, dem fukboi shacks are RIP now apparently.

Fucking GOD TIER update.

[Ac30]

Is this game GPU or CPU heavy? I have a 750ti but even at turd settings it runs at 40fps - I have an i7 I could probably get up to 3.3 GHz if that would help? Thanks

nevermind. PU confirmed it's the FBShacks

UMP got me my first and only chicken dinner. RIP

So when is the patch dropping?

Yeah me too helped me a ton to see if area looted or not. Update looks amazing hoped we see fog weather too but it probably needs more testing because it changes everything.

INTO test servers tomorrow, and should go live on Thursday.

I have a centuries-old i5-2500k and run the game well with a 980. I used to play on an R9 280 and that was bad enough, but I think the 750ti is a notch below that. You're probably gonna need a solid GPU update.

Vector should be two round burst where the second shot is not affected by recoil. It pisses me off how the vector in this game is nothing like the vector in real life (its OP in real life under 50 yards). The vector fires so fast the 2nd shot in burst mode is basically on the tail of the first.

Its the closest real life Borderlands gun..lol

Awesome patch!

Excited about these changes, a bit let down about not seeing vaulting yet though.

I hope they take as long as they need to make sure it's fully working and bug free before they implement vaulting into the game. Vaulting will be a huge game changer.

The game has fucking CHANGED.

SO hyped for Thursday now.

Does this mean we can shoot holes in FB cabins to aim out of? GG Solo queue if true.

Welp, let's hope the engine improves then. It's a laptop 860m (750 ti) so that's not happening

 

[EmCeeGramr]

i hope you can destroy the shacks by running a vehicle into them

make wheat finishes even more fucked up

Both

100% usage on a 1080ti even at lowest settings, even though there is a 40 FPS difference on average between a 1700 clocked at 3.0GHz and a 1700@3.9GHz.

What?

My 980Ti is at like 50% when running lowest settings and 90FPS cap via RTSS @ 1080p.

 

[MadLaughter]

Don't follow the game that closely, are they making the shacks all over the world destructible?

I thought so too but in the last few weeks it doesn't feel good anymore. I feel like there are a lot of microstutters and the game just doesn't feel fluid. I think my 3570k 4.2GHz isn't cutting it anymore.

 

[Tagyhag]

That update sounds awesome. Very curious if those cabins are the shacks or new buildings.

 

[BleedOrange]

Fire mode can no longer be switched during reload.

Awful change

Don't follow the game that closely, are they making the shacks all over the world destructible?

From the wording of the change it seems not. Only certain ones, most probably.

 

[nowarning]

Update sounds awesome. Reload cancelling via opening doors and not being able to change fire mode while reloading is gonna fuck me up though.

 

[TVexperto]

Cant believe they still didnt fix the FOV in first person. Its so awful especially for ultrawide monitor users

 

[JDB]

I'm guessing they're gonna do one big first person update. Still a long way off probably, though.

 

[JambiBum]

Hopefully this update also fixes the memory leak issues that I've had since the last patch. I can only play a few matches from before I have to restart

 

[BleedOrange]

You can now pick up items while moving. The interaction animation will not force you to stop anymore, but make you walk slowly.

I knew they wouldn't go through with that awful looting change they tested last patch. This seems like a decent compromise.

Drag looting was never messed with and looting with F been same as always too, or am I missing something?

Drag looting was supposed to be removed in an earlier patch but there was a bug so they reverted the change.

They tested a change which made drag looting stop your character movements and play the pickup animation every time. It felt absolutely awful, and thankfully never made it off test servers.
