Pretty rare to hear of kindness in-game these days. Nice to hear it still exists!

You crouch-run faster than you run upright, and crawl five times faster than you run? Don't think so... Still, interesting idea. I'd like to get better data and do some calculations about just how fit my toon is.

I've had the same problem. Other posters seem to think that you're walking, not running, but that's not it -- I run slower than the people I'm playing with. I'm guessing it's a latency issue, but it's hard to say.

What tool(s) do you use to monitor your hardware? I usually just estimate FPS based on experience, so I don't have hard numbers. And do you use something other than Task Manager to monitor CPU usage? I'd love to get some hard data, as I'm having many of the same problems you all are having. CPU, GPU, FPS, ping, temperatures, etc... And yes, I'm sure I could just Google it, but asking you all is so much more fun.

Same thing happened to my brother and I while playing last night. Tried playing on four different servers, got single-digit framerates on all four. Pings were in the neighborhood of 30-60ms for both of us, so it wasn't a network latency issue. Both of us have rigs perfectly capable of playing the game (as demonstrated by many weeks playing), so it's not a local issue. I find it hard to imagine that four servers could have been having symptoms like that independently, which implies some centralized problem -- either the most recent server patch, or a hive/database distribution issue. Would love to find more details on this. Pretty difficult trying to aim at a zombie when I'm getting 3 fps. EDIT: I was also having trouble connecting to servers, but it often takes me 2-3 tries to find a server I can play on, so this didn't strike me as anything out of the ordinary.

Yeah, if you server-hop around a little, eventually you'll find a server where someone has broken the window.

I've been carrying one around for a few days, unwilling to drink it because it's "rare." I know that (1) it's nothing more than a collection of ones and zeros, which are literally infinite in number and (2) this is just a video game -- yet I still can't bring myself to drink it. The mind is a strange place.

Don't listen to him -- the 640 is fine. As I've posted elsewhere, I run the game with a Core2Duo and a GT8800. I have to run with all settings on low, but it works. You'll be fine.

These are pretty goddamn spectacular. But maybe it's not a bug; maybe Rocket just slipped LSD into cans of soda without telling anyone. I mean, come the fuck on. That top one is totally the Fortress of Solitude.

What "graphical bug" are you talking about? I'm just curious, because I've never seen any graphical glitches that made the game unplayable. I've been frustrated by random broken legs and whatnot, sure. But while I've seen some strange glitchy things -- trees and loot spawning in mid-air, textures not drawing in -- I've never experienced anything like what you describe. Edit for typo.

Hope springs eternal.

I was so happy! For maybe the first time ever, a person on an internet forum used the verb "affect" correctly! What rapture! And then this happened: Thanks for restoring my faith in humanity. For 10 seconds.

Your post is whiny and nonconstructive, but I know what you mean about those f-ing AKs. First time I went into those tents I spent like five minutes trying to click on the damn things.

That is some zen shit. The things you own end up owning you.

Sorry, but this is the second time in 24 hours I've read the hen's teeth idiom on these forums. I find myself compelled to link to this story from a few years ago about a team of UK scientists who triggered a genetic mutation in chickens that allowed them (the chickens, not the scientists) to grow teeth. My point? Hen's teeth are getting less rare. How's that for off-topic? Aww jeah.
