Okay I managed to get in. Servers feeling crazy laggy though for me - is this the same for everyone else? Feels like the door opening delay from the early versions is back, there's a good 1+ seconds for it to respond to pressing F.

Incredibly laggy, it feels even worse than when I played on the US test servers yesterday and I'm in EU.

i believe in you Breezy, live your dreams


I'm finding the early/mid game easier in first person. And the late game much harder. lot of 10/12 place finishes because people right behind me just blast me

Just played a full game in first person and had all the buildings not able to render, fell through the bridge when driving across, and got suck in a rock I took cover behind. I play the game on ultra and high settings. Never had this happen to me, feel like this patch might have been pushed out too early.

One of those things I think which gives them enough flexibility to prosecute at will. Doubt it'll be enforced unless people really kick up a fuss. I dunno, has the 'crackdown' they said they were doing for Overwatch note any fruit yet?

Got two keys just for this gamescom crate, hoping the school jacket I got might be worth something by next week. Not a bad cosmetic if it's worthless anyhow.

Is it worth opening a gamescom crate to sell the item? It seems most of the items from it are going for very high amounts, but there aren't many on the market yet. Are they not tradable right away or something?

Takes a week for items to be sellable on the marketplace these days, unless there's a way around it.

I can't sell/trade until 8/9, soooooo.
The blue version of the black jacket I got is selling for $50+ so I'm not worried about opening.

I like how this most recent patch seems to have broken the game's performance but 99% of the discussion is revolving around microtransactions and the marketplace

Last week i was running 75 fps normally with a 970 & 4790k

Hitting 35-40 FPS now. I feel like this is every other patch. One week it's perfect next week it's terrible.

Installing this game on my SSD made this game substantially more playable. My assumption is this game does an insane amount of texture streaming and it’s honestly night and day difference.

I tried playing for the first time in weeks and I guess I picked a bad time because the game is buggier, choppier, and laggier than ever before. It's also crashing more than ever and has horrible sound bugs. Just miserable.

I had a bit of lag early game, but the two games I've played were basically the same as before the update.

Okay yes the lag is absolutely unplayable right now after my smoother earlier games. I just had a peek fight in apartments where what was happening on screen and who was getting hit was absolute nonsense that didn't match up at all. This was well into the part of the game where early game lag would usually level out on its own.

Yep played one game myself just a bit ago and I died at the bottom of the stairs somewhere, didn't even see the guy right in front of me until the lag corrected everything.

Hopefully when I'm home from school the performance evens out.

I played two duos which were fine, and then one solo which was a total lagfest until there were 30 people left, and then it was smooth sailing. Playing on the normal servers, not the FPP servers.

You can sell straight away if you use the Steam Authenticater.

I've got that but it's still not really clear, if they are tradable why are there so few of the items being sold? I'd expect lots of people to be trying to sell the items considering the prices.

Some of the items don't even seem to have marketplace listings available for them.

Items from the gamescom crate are not marketable until a week. The crates themselves are marketable right now though.

The other crates are free game. That's where the expensive coats are coming from.

Ah you're right, it seems the new items i'm looking at that are available on the market are from the other crates.

Oh lol should have read this first, the lag is awful guess I will not be playing tonight.

However we did have a quick look at Duo FPP, we could not see each others health, could not see each others marker, and when I died, it kicked out my friend. So yeah that is broken too

Wow, this crate system is more fucked than I thought. The two free ones are random? The Gamescom one costs 1200 points out of the gate? That's so ass.

I got 3 of each of the free ones, debating what to do with them. Is there any definitive list of what's in the Gamescom crate yet?
