I know it is happening to some people. It is just a matter of finding a middle ground that works reasonably well for everyone within our minimum computer specs. This is experimental and that was an experiment. In any event it can't stay how it was before, since Joel consistently would report his FPS dropping to 20 FPS after x minutes of play and having to reload to fix it. He has a high end PC.Guppycur said:
lolMastery of the kiting technique
I wanted to talk to you about mastering the technique of kiting.
Basically kiting is backing up which anybody can do. But to gain mastery of it, one has to learn how to time and space at just the right time moment. Most people overdo it and step way the hell back and that is a waste of time and effort. While others have bad timing and get hit.
Just tap the "S" key just when the zombie moves forward and you stay just out of reach. Small quick taps are better than one long one.
Mastery will allow you to continuously hit the zombies without a break.
It would be best to practice this with the knife as it has a high thrust rate with low energy expended.
For best results, aim for the center of mass, COM.
For the quickest kill and if you are getting good. Aim for the head.
Make sure you can back up. You don't want to get stuck, that would be bad.
Finally, practice, practice, practice and some day you will be nearly as good as me. IMAO
I don't think this counts as a bug as much as feedback regarding a general performance issue. Also, I'm not posting there until I can make a reliable and solid repro for each and every one of the cases. This is not a sound fx tweak. Posting here may be annoying sometimes, but it's always the more direct approach if the issue is BIG and crippling, like this one.Laz Man said:
...that would be funny. It's not so much about a stutter/FPS drop as it is about a *surprise* stutter/fps drop. That happens at the wrong moment and you're falling into a pit, missing a jump, an attack, etc. Can be life threatening.

Posting here is fine. Mostly I just want hardware specs and circumstances in which it is happening.
That's good to know there's a chance, maybe a dev or forum member might know for sure about if 5120 x 1440 res is supported. Thanks Joel!madmole said:I know a couple devs have really wide monitors and it worked fine for them, but I don't know the exact res so no promises, but it sounds promising
That is why we have testers and I have not heard of any of them having issues. Dropped in on a lot of streamers this weekend and have not seen any of them having load delays either.
Sadly I always make sure to disable any function on the antivirus both manually and internally before running games and I keep my pc clean and defragmented with ccleaner ( actually I uninstall the antivirus each time I play, just because I hate even the hint of a popup or background app). The only programs that boot on startup are : steam. Clean as a baby's dental record.
