http://blog.ubi.com/an-update-on-the-division-beta-access/

Loving this, don't want to play anymore saving it for the 8th March, it's only to be a long Feb that's for sure.

My keybinds were good, just that bloody shield nonsense.

I'm warming to it, just wasn't sure how everything worked with skill trees etc but know I have figured out a little more about it I'm set.

Still not pre-ordering mind.

Yeah, pretty much

Wanderer89, I see your CPU usage is nowhere near as high as mine. Maybe the i5 2500k is showing its age finally

Glad it's not just me then, seriously looking at moving to Broadwell E when it comes out in the next month or two. I stream on the side, so can't do it when my CPU usage is already at or near 100%. No other game bar maybe GTA has used that much CPU before though.

Can someone add me to the OP with my Ubisoft account for grouping up please, it's the same name as on here.

It's games like this where freesync/gsync really shines. Can afford to really crank up those ultra settings and have low fps really feel like smooth 60fps+

Might have to go freesync then. The drop from 60/70 to 40 feels awful to me

Born_2_Kill_83 · 31 Jan 2016 at 18:59

Yeah it certainly does, I don't feel any drops till below 35fps, at this point I feel it making me look at the fps counter even then it's far from a stutter (my eyes just feel the difference) which has only happened once or twice everything else feels 60+ even though I average 45/50fps using 3440*1440 @ ultra.

Freesync/Gsync is an absolute game changer, I didn't really buy into the hype, but once you see it/use it, you will never ever want to go back to a normal screen again. Along with an SSD, a FS/GS screen is a godly upgrade.

Be warned, it seems people have figured out cheats already. Invisible, invincible, unlimited ammo etc. If you're getting done over, that may be why.

MOOGLEYS · 31 Jan 2016 at 19:54

I'm pretty sure the reason I die a lot is because I'm just crap rather than cheaters tbh.....

dink · 31 Jan 2016 at 20:14

Was excited, then I wasnt, then I played the Beta Friday and I was disappointed, played some more and got a little more into it, played it most the day and im now really excited!

Don't doubt there are cheaters but there are to many now a days that blame their deaths on anything but themselves. I play with a few people like that, they shout lag or hit reg issues or they must be cheating when in fact i've watched it all and they've just been outplayed.

Hope any "bugs" or "cheats" are kept on top of though otherwise this game will tank fast.

I was killed around 3 times tonight by an invisible foe. One hit turned the whole screen red and had me crawling then another red screen and I'm dead... no one around... And no, I didnt leave the Beta zone.

Edit: Anyone know how I change the chat from the zone to "ALL" or the "GROUP" I am in?? Its stuck on "DGZ02" :confused:

We played yesterday and people would just vanish. We were shooting at a group of 4 rogue agents with a bounty timer of 296 seconds and they just vanished and reappeared at the other corner of the map.

Teaf · 31 Jan 2016 at 21:01

Yeah, people are actually 'hacking'. Lots of the information about the player is client side, which is horrific from a MP point of view. See here.

Guys posted on Reddit that there's hardly any server side checking in place at the moment. You can manipulate the client at will. It appears to be a debug build as well, when it crashed on me once Visual Studio hooked in and caught it. I don't expect it to be so tamper-ready for release!

Yeah it's on their forums, classed as an exploit or a bug rather than a cheat. It allows people to shoot through cover/walls like they aren't there and they said they would get it fixed.

It could also actually be lag, i had it where me and my friend couldn't see each other properly. He kept saying he was next to me, where as he'd be a few streets away. It's like one/both of us had desynced from the server as we couldn't see attackers at times either.

Yeah wasn't saying there aren't any cheats, just so many people blame cheats when they were outplayed or are just crap. I've seen some of that too, just reported their names to Ubisoft via CS on the site.

That happened this afternoon. 3 people had gone rogue with a massive timer on their heads and half the map was chasing them down, suddenly they were all gone at the same time.

I assume it doesn't just let you quit out if you have a bounty on your head does it?

Not tried it but it's either a cheat or something like that.

I said that wait until the Russians develop cheats and promote them and it happened.

How are ME and Ubi going to handle it? I want a zero tolerance policy, not like Battlefield where it takes months for people who were flagged to get banned.

There is a 20 second timer on quitting while in the DZ. Not sure how force closing works. However when it happened with us they appeared in another area of the map so hadn't quit.

Tommy, dont use the reshade setup, just copy and paste sweetfx2.0 and reshade files into the game directory and rename reshade64.dll to dxgi.dll and voila

should look like this in your directory after you rename that file.

Tony, would you mind posting a quick run-through on how you set this up, please? I have installed SweetFX but there are way more files in the directory than yours. dxgi.dll is already there as well. I used the configurator to install initially though.
