PR COOP may be flawed in more ways than you could imagine, but there is nothing wrong with the loading speed. This has never been an issue in Deployment and I frankly don't see why we're even having this discussion over and over again. There are ways to mitigate the slow loading issues

This is a very narrow mindset. Every game has it's slow loaders, PR Deployment or not you will always get them. The discussion comes up again and again because for the slow loaders it's not nice to get into game and have no squad to join.

To say slow loading is only a COOP issue is a really odd point to make. You make a point of upgrading PC, so by that you should understand that not everyone has beastly rigs that are fast and do in fact load slower than others. Nothing against you, but your whole response kind of contradicted itself all over and I don't understand where you are getting at.

Not if you want to add RHS to domination, As there is a RHS version made by the same person

I've just loaded up Xeno's Domination on the server, It actually looks pretty good, plus theres a rank system where the higher the rank from killing shit the more items you unlock in the arsenal and vehicles? Looks pretty sick tbf

Make the server a domination server please and thank you

This mod doesn't really excite me at all. From a modders stand point it's probably great but it doesn't really add much. Just seems like a sandbox atm, and i know it's very early stages but BF3 seems odd for a reality mod, I don't think it will work. But then again vanilla BF2 seems impossible to make realistic and it turned out great, so we will see

Well like I said, on Bamyan Std, the helis are basically rendered useless after you reach a certain point in the map UNLESS the A10s kill the BMPs at pretty much their spawn points or just allow them to destroy the helis until they reach a point at which the A10s can kill them within the normal rules. BMPs are basically in par with AA other than the range at which they kill you, which in a place of no cover around you is still pretty far. There are a few maps that are kind of like this, where a BMP can kill you from around 2-3 flags away because of the open nature of the map and where the flags are located. I will say I am not defending baserape - I think baserape ruins the fun for others, especially when the CAS kills all assets way before they even get within shooting distance of infantry. I do however think their should be some exceptions for some layers/maps.

Also another point to bring up (using Bamyan as an example again), baserape as far as I understand it is based off of the amount of flags you attack the enemy ahead of the current attack flag(s). Where I think this can be kind of confusing is like on Bamyan - once into the the second half of the map where you really start to see the assets coming in, what can be classed as baserape per flags ahead? I ask this because the flags are so close, and by close I mean just a few buildings down. So would killing a BMP 2 flags ahead, a.k.a, just a few meters ahead, still be classed as baserape? If this is a bit confusing to read I understand so feel free to ask, I can clarify if needed.

@=VG= SemlerPDXHey, didn’t want to quote as it would take forever to cut everything out on phone for just one question; going from what I said about certain maps needing a bit of leeway, does the “act as we see fit” also go for that? What I mean is can we kill other assets like BMPs a few flags ahead if they cause it to be unplayable and of course if the current admins on the server feel its fine too. Or is it a set rule that this must only be AA and AAVs?

Cheers!

I think the issue with the Baserape rule is in some maps you kind of have to base rape a little otherwise it’s either really hard or just unplayable. Example: On Bamyan Std, once you get past the Delta flag and reach the mosque, BMPs snipe any CAS Helis from the airfield when they spawn. So the A10s have to get them before the reach the little town otherwise the helis are useless. It can be a very subjective rule to enforce I think. Just my thoughts!

Since the game officially ended their early access phase and went 1.0 we can just hope that they will add CAS helis in as a free content patch, rather than a payed expansion.

This game will never get a paid expansion, unless it's cosmetics (and even then they're pushing it) because it simply wouldn't work and definitely would not get any good feedback. They should and probably will only ever push free content... I would LOVE real CAS and I hope too that they add helis.

Thank you.  Either than graphics or it's unreal engine, compared to PR, can you please comment on which provides a better experience, PR or squad?

It's really hard to tell. It's heavily play style based opinion. Best way to find out is if you just play them both.

Although PR is far more teamwork heavy compared to Squads current state (previously required far more teamwork) and PRs maps are much larger than Squads. PR also has A LOT more assets than Squad, only downside to PR is of course it's not nearly as popular as Squad in terms of player base  But PR basically has everything Squad has other than a few quality of life differences which is to be expected when comparing a 2004 mod to a modern title.

Alternative, u can find monitors with the word, 'Adaptive Sync' on it which means it do accept both Nvidia & Radeon GPUs

 

OR do this ---> Enable G-Sync on FreeSync Monitor

Man that's a relief. G-sync monitors are either very hard to find at the price I want or they're all just expensive. I think I will go with a FreeSync and transform to G-Sync. Thanks cruizer!

Nice to see you finally found some decent validated 3600MHz DDR4!  Only note I have is that you are about to pair an AMD tailored gaming monitor with an Nvidia Graphics card.

Freesync = AMD (and open source)
G-sync = Nvidia (only)

You can find a monitor that is nearly exactly the same in size/resolution/performance, but G-sync compatible (or G-sync native) support, and at the same price, too.




Find the G-spot, young man... you'll be glad you did:

Oh wow I didn’t even think of that, thanks! I will take a look around. 

Also, America is far cheaper man.... Parts over here are far more expensive and god this build costs more than expected haha, but I’ll scrape the money and it’ll be worth it

Hey guys! Heres my final build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/ConnorH_/saved/VJ6mrH

CPU will be upgraded at some point and I will also be getting a: 1440p 144hz Monitor

Why do we have to overcomplicate things that don't need overcomplicating? Why after 10+ years is this suddenly such an issue? Yes, it sucks to have 5 minute loading times ( trust me, I know the pain), but that doesn't mean that other players should be penalized for that. 

I dont think it’s necessarily over complicated, COOP just makes it seem that way as it isn’t built in to it like it is in deployment. We could easily go without this whole thing and it wouldn’t really change much and all the slow loaders would just get on with it like they have for 10+ years.

But nothing is wrong with changing things with great ideas just because it has not been changed before. That’s not how the world goes around otherwise we would still be stuck in the stone ages aye?

Also I don't think this is "suddenly" an issue, it has probably been brought up many times throughout the years but no real solution to it until now

Yeah but again, we don’t know how many people are for or against this so would it be worth testing in the first place? Who knowsss

The only issue I have with this idea is that it would definitely take some trial and error to get it perfect and that will definitely cause some frustration to new and common players. 

If there was a test environment away from the main server then that would be great but of course in reality we don’t know how many people are for or against this idea anyways.

This is sadly just a Project Reality Coop, i am a big fan of every thing realistic but there is a reason i am playing exactly this, just to be put into a semirealistic action very quickly, i love arma and stuff but those games cannot be played all day long, they eat alot of time just because of this "briefing time". *and walking*

I don't think comparing the briefing time in Arma to the briefing in PR is a fair comparison. briefing in PR isn't really a briefing at all, just a small wait period for slow loading players a chance to join Squads. If you play deployment you will understand.

I don't know exactly at what time the server registers as "Round Start", if it's when the first player joins or another factor but 5 mins seems a little too long. I don't know what the average load time is, and yes I know this is to compensate for the slow loaders but maybe it is a tad too long? I have no idea though it might work fine at 5 mins, but either way I am glad you came up with something so thanks!

But, the thing is, if you had meant to push the quote button on Golden's reply but instead pressed the downvote on ranger_12's reply, I'm at a loss for words, and can't really help beyond saying that any of these reputation buttons can be removed in the same manner they were applied -- click on a 'heart' and it sticks, click it again and it goes away, likewise for up/downvotes.

What I meant by the quote thing is that my first reply in this thread was meant to be towards Golden. 

The downvote was indeed intentional and I did not mean it in an awful way. I don’t have and never have had an issue with ranger, he has always been chill towards me so I would have no reason to dislike him, I simply just didn’t agree with what he said. I apologise that it kinda threw the topic of this thread off the table, not my intention. 

However if downvoting will be caught with a reaction like this I won’t use it anymore, I personally didn’t see an issue with it but either way I will use it more wisely or not at all.

Giving a negative reaction to me fo saying same thing you said is just make no sens. this is a respected community not a place were you express your weird feelings.  

i didnt say that lol, i was meant to quote golden but it wasnt working. Also whats the point in a downvoting and upvoting system if i get called weird for using it. Very odd

I think if people could just “Upgrade” their PCs to load quicker, I’m sure they would and I’m sure they have thought of that option lol. Unfortunately that is money and especially in a time like this not everyone has money to throw at building a new pc or SSDs no matter the price.

Although if briefing could actually work in COOP it would definitely help as you can still disable creating squads so even if the quicker loaders got in first, doesn’t mean they can claim before the slower ones.

Hmm.... Never heard of this brand. Anyways, not available in my country so... IDK.

OLOy WarHawk RGB 16GB (2x8GB) 3600MHz

Never heard of them, worried about getting things i dont know about

Another Update: So regarding the PSU I think I found a decent one for now. It's the Corsair CXM V2 750W. Yes it's semi-modular, I am still looking around for a Modular PSU, but this one is looking promising atm, unless of course you guys see an issue!

As for ram, I found another pair that wasn't on the QVL list. but tbh the QVL list is starting to look less promising in terms of price. From what I've read it is very rare for unlisted items to NOT work because they either haven't updated the list OR they can only test so many. Still, I would love to hear what you think either way: Crucial Ballistix 3600hz CL16

Heres the updated PC Part Picker List

Just trying to save you from that.  You can do it, again, patience pays off.

Thanks, I will definitely keep looking the same with everything else. I don’t want to cheap out on this build too much as my main goal is to future proof it so I will try to aim higher. Besides that though I just need to find one at a decent price as well as allowing it to fit the case which is minimum 140mm I believe.

For PSU, I will always recommend to get at least an 80+ Bronze due to the efficiency of the PSU. But if ur able to squeeze more & get an 80+ Silver or Gold rating, it is a nice addition. Don't really recommend 80+ only certified (this is mostly for super budget build or people that don't care bout psu & they just want cheap parts)

Yeah I definitely don’t want to go worse than Bronze that’s just silly. I haven’t found anything silver yet which is odd. Usually just goes from Bronze to Gold whenever I’m looking, but hopefully I can find something!

Edit: whilst in the topic of PSU, I’ve been looking for 750W only. Do you think it’s okay to drop to 700W MAYBE 650W (Don’t think I wanna go this low though)?

21 minutes ago, =VG= SemlerPDX said:

No, that model is NOT on the MoBo QVL

Also, like Cruizer mentioned, spend an extra $10 for CL16

I know it’s not on the QVL List but I was just gonna wing it and hope it works. I wouldn't mind spending a bit more on CL16 at all, it will be worth it in the end anyway. I will definitely keep looking around.

I am also a little stuck on what PSU to get. I don’t really care about getting a 80+ Bronze but from what you said it seems pretty important to get a Gold or higher.

Ripjaws V model is compatible for Ryzen. Forget to add that as too many Brands & models for me to remember.

But CL18. Hmm.... It's still doable

I've been looking for some budget CL16-17 sticks but I can't. If you know of any let me know, would be helpful!

Just don't forget to X.M.P (it can be D.O.C.P, A.M.P or whatever the crap mb vendor named it) in the mb Bios for those ram if ur a beginner. Don't touch the Vcore (is it still Vcore for ram as well? Been awhile I manually OC new system). Let it be in 'AUTO' unless u know what ur doing.

As for all of this, I have no idea what any of it means haha. I assume it's a setting within the BIOS?
