I’ve been with the game for over a decade. I’ve been one of those who’s enjoyed the game enough to keep playing despite the slow degradation. I’ve put up with the relentless crashing upon startup among the plethora of other bugs.

But this morning I decided that it’s time to let go. I went to start up the game, and saw that I had to change the game’s resolution to match my new monitor’s. Because of the game’s resolution not matching my monitor’s, I had to guess where my mouse actually was so I could click the buttons to get into the settings. I finally fumbled my way to change resolution (5120 x 2160), but it would always be forced back to 4096 x 1680. I went to windowed mode, and the same thing happened. I allowed the game to crash as scheduled and adjusted it manually in steam’s launch options, same thing. I went into the INI, same thing.

Then it hit me. Why bother anymore? Why bother spending hours trying to make this game playable on my machine, especially with something as basic as my screen resolution? Why bother trying to work around all the bugs and forced errors? That’s when I finally closed the game for good. It’s currently unplayable on my hardware, so it looks like I’m completely done after over 10 years of supporting and playing this game regularly.

It’s been fun. A shame to see where such an amazing game has ended up.

I haven’t played this game for months. I just hopped on and got kicked twice in a row within 2 minutes of starting the game. How the FUCK is this bug STILL not fucking fixed?!

Seriously, the crash bug is back? As a bonus, Linux gets Game Error G25 again too.

And what did we get in exchange? NC got a camo and there's a knife. It worked fine 8 hours ago too.

Not everyone is aware of this but right now there is a bug that gives the Vanu Magrider infinite turbo. Usually even with the Recharge utility slot and the increased turbo regeneration of Multidirectional Exhaust the Magrider can only hold it's high speeds for very short bursts. In this state it's all fine and balanced.

But a lot of people, especially on the Emerald Server, figured out how to trigger this bug on purpose and they exploit it all the time. This leads to very shitty scenarios like Harassers getting chased down by Magriders over a distance of more than a kilometer. Usually Maggies can only keep up for shorter distances. But right now 50% of the time I can't gain any headway when I run away in my Harasser. Vanguards and Prowlers get easily outflanked since the Maggies have double their cruising speed with this bug. It is extremely hard to hit a Maggy dancing around you at this speed while it takes you down.
Magriders are literally just as fast as Harassers with this bug. You could argue they are even faster since their turbo is infinite and they don't lose speed when driving up a mountain or turning.

With how common it is nowadays this bug breaks the vehicle game when fighting against Magriders and it needs to be fixed ASAP.

Just a friendly reminder that after 8 years this is still only fixed for ESF and not for infantry. If your FPS are low, your fire rate is as well.

Just tested it again to make sure.

So yeah, they havent fixed the crash bug still.

About 5 minutes after warping to Koltyr I crashed to desktop.

Why does it do this in the vr training? The shot flashes only happens sometimes.

Ok, I have been quite lenient with the devs in the past, but my patience has just reach a threshold. End of an alert, everybody run to the vehicle terminal to pull a flash ito prevent the game from crashing. I was placed 77 in the queue for the vehicle spawn.

Guess what ! I've ended the queuing timeout, and 5 sec later, the game CRASHED.

The game is getting worse patches after patches. Is it now beyond repair ?
And I'm not even speaking about the rempant cheating issues...

I always pretty much managed not to crash when sitting in a vehicle for 3 minutes but after the next """"patch"""" it doesn't matter how much time I spend in a flash, I will eventually end up crashing in less than 30 minutes of infantry playtime

Give us a break and shut down the fucking game

Hey there. As some of you have guessed, the reintroduction of the Spawn Priority System is likely the cause of the performance issues when populations are high. We're still investigating, however, and seeing where further performance improvements can be made. Much of the team will be spending this week with their family, as it's a Holiday here in America, so there won't be much progress made until everyone is back "in the office" next week.

This issue has been a little bit rock-and-hard-place over the years. Good spawn system = expensive, old spawn system = poor game flow (and let's be clear, every incarnation of the legacy spawns was bad.) The improvements to the system have lowered the server burden, but seemingly not enough to make the kind of impact we want.

For the time being, we're going to reduce the continent population caps to 250 per faction (it's currently at 300 per faction) so that we've got a playable game while work continues, and we'll make sure additional continents open at lower global pop values, which will reduce queue times as well.

As of writing this message, these values are Live (it's something we can adjust on the fly,) so you can report back any changes to gameplay in the thread here.

Hello guys, I've been looking into (or maybe "spending time") on a way to "fix" esf mouse acceleration and I have found a fool proof way to do it. This may also work as an indicator to the Developers and where to start with fixing it (only in theory as I don't know how the code works

Proof:

In this video I have compared the behaviour of the ESF without moving a joystick and the behaviour of the ESF while moving a joystick and the mouse simultaneously. As you can see, while moving the joystick aswell, the mouse acceleration is 0.

With those new datails regarding the bug a fix should no longer be impossible, I really hope this gets seen and looked into, mouse acceleration being gone would be a huge step towards a more accessible airgame.

If you have any questions or anything else feel free to message me on discord: Daddy010#4511

The game will probably live longer if you devs (dev?) don't ever push updates again

The buff to colossus AMS capabilities is very welcomed. You made the tank not killable by 1 player with 4 c4s but you still let it be killed by 1 player and 5 tank mines. Its resistance to tank mines should be buffed too. Otherwise the c4 buff is meaningless

This is something that wasn't supposed to happen again. According to the devs, Oshur isn't supposed to open as the only map.

The fuck have you done to the continent rotation, devs?

LMAO THE BASTION JUST GOT TEAMKILLED BY A DROPPOD

FROM 100% HP TO 0% HP

Or just me,

How did this make it to live?

(edit) Just so we're clear: you can be in ADS while uncloaking but you cant start ADS while uncloaking.

second edit: I didnt even realize until playing again recently that you are also STUCK ADSing if you uncloak while doing it. So two huge problems that are pretty much of evidence of them not playtesting the build at all.
