Tribes: Ascend v2: I went slow once and it was awful - Games

So is there a way to replace music, and what's the file destination if you can?

Queuing for fuck ever to join my friend. Anyone else have this issue ? :s

Man, how do you even play sentinel? Either I am unable to get headshots or they don't exist. Seriously I haven't had ONE headshot. Even on a still target.

Usually just get them randomly. Just keep pumping your trigger.

Getting two friends to speed around together on grav cycles is hilariously fun. By the end of the match we were referred to as the biker gang with 60 kills between us.

[QUOTE=Chirno;35085844]why are you trying to get headshots? they dont do anything...[/QUOTE] Yeah they do! A satisfying sound. And give you an accolade if you kill someone with one. And earn you badges.

[QUOTE=Gum;35085929]Yeah they do! A satisfying sound. And give you an accolade if you kill someone with one. And earn you badges.[/QUOTE] soooo pointless? theyre extremely random on anyone not standing still and youre more useful to your team when not aiming at a 1px small area of a player and youll get badges from kills/assists anyway

But it's not golden. How can you resist a golden badge?

Out of the many hours spent playing tribes I only got 1 headshot from an afk fatty

sentinel is good for defense too, you just lay claymores around the flag, get free pathfinders kills. most maps you can spot someone by a long range, having enough time to give them 2 full shots. you can go on the mid of map and annoy the heavies defending,destroy light turrets and forcefields. sometimes you the only one capable of killing the flag carrier at high speeds. and their pew pew pistol is awesome, especially killing heavies.

Heavies can't strafe out of it, it kills deployables crazy fast with very little trail. If I see a Juggernaut I can just run at him with the pistol and he won't be able to do crap, unless he has the LMG then I will win and get hit 3-4 times.

How do I show fps?

/stat fps

My computer has a hard time running this game, even on a fair resolution and minimum graphics. Any advice so I can go fast while going fast?

Is it possibly to barrel roll in a skryke(or however you spell it)?

[QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;35086806]My computer has a hard time running this game, even on a fair resolution and minimum graphics. Any advice so I can go fast while going fast?[/QUOTE] What are your specs? I have made 23 headshots since the patch, they aren't intentional and are almost always caused by my habit of firing on the way down, instead of the way up; the person I'm shooting at's arc.

i can link my fps config thats about all i can do

[code]FloatingPointRenderTargets=false[/code] This gets rid of fog and also seems to disable the dithering used to make smooth color transitions on your screen. It makes people stick out more though. It causes very far objects that would render to be visible when not rendered. It also boosts FPS by 10-15 outside of combat. Anyone know how to lower the detail on dust particles from grenades or call down strikes? They give me big FPS drops and because of needing fps smoothing turned on to get higher then 90 fps online it makes sniping after strikes hard as hell.

you could try playing with ParticleLODBias -1 is max , 10 is lowest quality(but i think it makes targeting beams, projectile trails(thumper etc) and sometimes tac(explosions)/orbital(red beam) not visible(or maybe one of my other settings is breaking it))

[img]http://puu.sh/kiQR[/img] Didn't even know the maps were this big :v: [editline]o[/editline] Also, "Pixel perfect" is an understatement. We're speaking subpixels. In full HD. Damn

-Ok, sorry. I do keep it down, I just wanted to know if I could get it any higher on a higher setting. Sorry for asking.

[QUOTE=Reds;35089317]Hey, what's the best optimisation you can get on medium detail? I want to keep it looking as good, but on my piece of shit I only get 18 for 17 frames during fights, and 20 at best without. Can anyone help please?[/QUOTE] people like you disgust me... you get 20 fps but youre too much of a graphics whore to turn the game down and now youre asking for ways to get better fps? what the fuck just turn the fucking game down

[QUOTE=The golden;35088358]The "Barrel roll" meme is actually called a aerilon roll. And no, you cannot.[/QUOTE] But that vehicle doesn't have aerilons. It has thrusters instead of them.

On the subject of graphics: My computer is two years old, yet at 800x600 it runs medium graphics quite well

My computer is also two years old. Runs everything at 60+ FPS on high, 1920x1200.

[QUOTE=Mr. Smartass;35090034]But that vehicle doesn't have aerilons. It has thrusters instead of them.[/QUOTE] And only one plane in history is anything near a barrel shape. What's your point?

Is the Thrust pack worth it? Or should I opt for the bolt launcher?
