I love the look of the updates. The one thing I hate though is having slow internet (living in a field with a 1.2mg connection) Gunna take about an hour to donwload :frowning:

Seeding at 3MB/s atm. Psyched for the updates!

What about sprint? Do you like this annoying pause? Personally I hate it. It’s the ONLY one game that has it right now that I know…

as soon as i loaded up, selected artil scope. it then just showed as a ghost no matter what i was doing.
tried to replace settings with a copy of my old settings and it crashed. see pics. now it just hangs in installing screen.

i deleted ShooterUI.ini and that sorted it. it just verified and created a new 1 when i ran game.

the 4th pic there was the ev in front of the car. completely covering view from shooters position. so i was shot through the ev through the car while crouched and not moving. maybe Murka can shed light on how he shot me.

the 5th pic is scrup in what i can only describe as sexy shorts with what seems like shoulder pads. Really!
i like the new skinnier models but breeches & stockings. You know they never go with khaki.
