My biggest gripe is being forced into crossplay now. There was an option to opt-out before, but now it seems you have no choice. Standard of Random teammates is now at an all-time low.

Loving the verticality of the new map. Vehicles are meh in pubs unless you communicate, which as usual doesn't happen much. I can see it becoming a sniper fest once players learn the map better. 3rd parties also seem to be even more prevalent than before. 18 games, 5 wins already. Horizon is a...

I too have a 7700k with 1070Ti. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and get a 3080, 3900X, B550M, 32GB DDR4 3600 and PCIe 4.0 NVME boot drive. I'll transfer my other SSD's over and sell the other bits as parts. The biggest pain will be re-installing everything from scratch. That'll probably...

Night-time gaming is like that at the moment. One minute getting matched with level 50 noobs, the next with players with 25k kills. More random noobness today. A Spaniard who left me downed after trading with the last player of a squad and went on to loot all the bodies. He said he was the best...

First 9 kill game today. About time (1653 hours in). There were still 7 squads left when we got 3rd partied. Both teammates downed. One quit, the other in the open screaming for a revive calls me a retard. 1540 points for me, 240 0 kills for him and 389 2 kills for the other. Usual errors for...

Still can't figure SBMM out. Yesterday I was getting matched with Pred's - today it's players who don't even know to press w when jumping ??? go figure.

Something weird has happened. Today in normal random play the matchmaking has me playing alongside and against VERY skilled players. I played ranked for a day yesterday and got to Silver quite quickly but surely that doesn't affect normal trio games? With 1800 hours behind me, the sudden leap in...

First 2k damage game today. Feels good.

The only thing that stops me from keep returning to this is how difficult it is to set up the controls. I use a Logitech G920 and Have a cannibalised Xbox controller attached to the stick shifter for range changing and splitting. But I can't always have them on my desk so regularly disconnect...

My origin name changes with the wind .... Can't play on discord unless the missus is out sadly. I get soooo frustrated with Randoms. Simple tips like: 1) When Lifeline is on your team and close by, let her revive. She has a shield, drone and faster revive. You can use the shield as cover and pop...

Getting to grips with LOBA now. Had a 6 kill win this afternoon. I might finally move on from Lifeline as a main....

Cities Skylines (still enjoy lots) & Apex (Wayyy too much! 1361 hours. 7.06k games, KDR 0.65 which is poor by any standard.). At 58, never been any good at FPS. Still love playing them though. Improving slowly - by the time I'm 70 I might actually be quite good. Season 4KDR up to .80 - my goals...

Upgrade fitted. Game feels smoother when editing map. Population only 34k with 81 tiles turned on. Traffic @ 82%. The frame rate seems ~ 15% better though a little subjective. When zoomed out around 37-50 fps. Close in can drop to around 27-30fps Still slows a little when using the move it mod...

Ahhhh, voice attack, will have to set that up as well. It's frightening when you eventually manage to launch your ship. One wrong move and you are back at the buy screen. I've never really done much in ED compared to Elite 1984. I managed to launch and dock at another station in the same...

Just updated after 2 years not playing. Downloaded X52 pro v2.23 profile which is installed and selected. Can't figure out how to even launch my ship now .....

RAM seems to make a difference to frame rate - especially when your city gets bigger. I'm going from 16-32GB this week so will see how that helps. Only using a few essential mods. 81 tiles Fine road anarchy 2 Fine road tools 2 Network extensions 2 Move it TMPE Ploppable RICO revisited...

I have crouch toggle bound to my Razer Nostromo and crouch hold bound to a thumb button on my mouse. (G700s) It took me a week to learn just the basics of bhop. I mostly use it to heal and retreat when necessary.

Go onto the test range and hip fire/ADS with all the weapons. The CQB weapons, in general, are really accurate with hip fire. The assault rifles not as good. Movement A-D is faster with hip fire, making you harder to hit. Crouching/sliding has the advantage of reduced spray radius as you'd...

Favourite weapon combo is R301 with 2x and lvl3 mag. EVA 8 with digital threat and purple bolt.

It's not a game where spending hours just looting pays off. You need awareness, aim and mobility. If you don't have any of these then you need practice. And lots of it. Best to drop hot. Engage early but as a squad. Plan when and where to back off and heal. Trading shots till last man standing...
