In my dream world I could replay a top-down map showing everyone's movement and detailed stat breakdown over multiple encounters, but can we just get this in the meanwhile?

I have such a love hate relationship with this game it's insane

If like me you have a dogshit CPU and updated your GPU to get more out of Tarkov read this.

If this doesn't apply to you move on.

First of all you will need at least 32gb of RAM to play Streets or Tarkov with high textures, DDR 4 2 x 16gb sticks (recent got second hand) is what I use - my motherboard and CPU are 7 years old. I have a 2700x CPU and ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING motherboard. I have a QVO SSD.

These settings are for 1.0. - Your results may vary but the performance difference is amazing.

My GPU is RADEON 9060 XT 16gb

Settings:

PUT YOUR TEXTURES ON HIGH (THIS USES YOUR GPU NOT CPU)

USE STREETS LOW TEXTURE MODE AND TEST IT.

PUT SHADOW QUALITY ON HIGH (OFF LOADS FROM CPU to GPU)

ENABLE "USE PHYSICAL CORES ONLY"

PLAY IN BORDERLESS MODE (TEST FULLSCREEN, THIS WORKS BEST FOR ME)

AA = TTA

AMD FSR 2.2 / 3.0 OFF (Does nothing but make the game look like shit)

EVERYTHING ELSE LOW or OFF

LOD = 2

OVERAL VISABILITY = 1000

DISABLE GAME FPS LIMIT = ON

POST FX = OFF - USE AMD CONTRAST BOOST or NVIDIA COLOUR SETTINGS

AREA LIGHT ASSISTANCE: ON - THIS WAS THE SETTING THE CHANGED EVERYTHING

This increased my FPS at 2560 x 1440 from sub 40 to 70-90fps on streets. All other maps are 100+ FPS. No stutters, no lag, no feeling like you are playing under water. I can finally use scopes.

If this helps one person make the game playable like it did for me, my work is done.

In Contract wars there was a hardcore gamemode where u cant play with your character’s skills that you unlock, everyone has the same hp and u dont have any hud showing ur health or anything else, also i think the guns had more damage

I had an idea what if they add something like that to tarkov, no hud , no skills everyone is equal and no Stims?

I thought BSG had an aversion to wood. Just for the SVD and FAL I guess (hah).

I didn't take much away from Fallout 3 (always much preferred New Vegas and 1/2), but if there's one thing I DID take away, it's my love for early pattern G3s/CETMEs. Such a gorgeous rifle in nearly any configuration, but the wood especially gives it a different level of class.

Can someone tell me what I'm missing here. I have checked and rechecked and checked again that everything is black. Still cant turn it in.

it just let me transfer it, i cant put it on flea

After getting promoted every week, last week I failed to promote to Rank V with 2.2 million xp, 25th had 2.314 million XP. Honestly I want the legs from rank VII and that's all I care about. But honestly, what do you guys think?

I had a discussion recently with my play group and we came to the conclusion that everyone is looking for something different in Tarkov. no play style is better or worse. We all get our enjoyment out of the game somewhere. I personally love power levelling. So the ranked play is really scratching an itch. I've really enjoyed seasonal after 4 years off the game.

I think my next challenge is speed run to prestige 6 on my main which is fresh because i haven't touched it since 1.0.

I just failed the juiciest weekly I ever had because I didn't focus on it enough and I missed too many headshots on sanitar. I hope to get more of these weeklys, but this one was insane. Rusted Key plus 1mill roubles, plus 250k xp and some other things. Yes please! Hard quest though! :(

The hackers are laughing in our faces.

I spawn in the bunker on Reserve, but I get a phone call. I look for a secluded room—one of those empty ones that nobody ever uses—lie down, and go AFK.

Five minutes later, I hear someone running and think, “Well, surely nobody’s going to come in here.” Then I hear them running around the room again and again, and that’s when the mocking starts. They begin talking to me over VoIP: “Hello, hello,” “Helloooo, hello hello,” “Hey, hello, helloooo.” I don’t touch the mouse or keyboard at any point.

Then they open the door but don’t come in. They start saying, “Come on, come on…” One grenade. Two grenades. Three grenades. Luckily, none of them hit me. I still don’t move. Then, just as I see them about to enter the room, they rush in with a prefire and kill me instantly.

There will always be hackers, but I’m not spending another cent on this game until they at least show us players that they’re actually doing something to fix it. Like that guy in the shirt who’s been on this Reddit for weeks and is still playing.

Apparently the "armor shortage" is a direct result of Ragman feeding half of armor stockpile of eastern europe.

Not the M40 or S10, but it'll get the job done for now...

Do wish there was a non-tinted version as well, maybe as a version obtainable for everyone in normal base game progression?

A nade kill that makes you finish a subtask!

And that mission is ass. I did finish it in one raid though which is beginners luck (im 3k hours in lmao)

This has never happened to me ever before and I have at least 100 Icebreaker raids behind me. Stood slightly to the right of the extract helipad to loot the three BDs and started to hear gunshots in the distance and got folded. They sounded like they came from the BDs guarding the door you have to breach.
Were the BDs at that door always able to snipe you if you are on helipad? From where I stood they could have also totally sniped me while extracting too.

I recently was inspired by the PMC AI in Tarkov how they constantly react to the player, actions, or environment, for example like the PMC AI yelling at the player when spotting or calling out that they've been hit

Here is my rough idea for a possible personal negative modifier:

"Chatter Box"

Effect: Randomly within an interval of 60, or 150 seconds your PMC will randomly use the mumble command.

I couldn't think of how many points it would give but possibly +2 or +3 would be fair for randomly talking outloud. Can be especially awful if you are holding angles, camping, or getting ready to ambush somebody

Any feedback, or comments would be great.
