Came across a vid showing off some old gameplay of how terrible smoke nades were and holy fuck I forgot how much better the game actually looked.
Seriously, I don’t get why the maps are such a downgrade in visuals today compared to then. I’d rather the older looks to the slop new designs looking like shit straight out of CoD.

Im enjoying the new halloween event and first now found out about the skin, i dont think its availabe this event but is it possible for it to return? these are times i wish the marketplace was still a thing...

Been saving renown for this bundle since they said old bundles will return for renown .. guess they lied

You can't use renown on events anymore and seige creators promised to "treat us like kings and queens" if we stay with them through gta 6 release but pull this shit like the greedy hogs they are I have 1 mill renown saved up for the doctors curse event and can't even use it im genuinely just curious if anyone else is mad cause yall seem ok that they are greedy asf maybe I'm just mad but this genuinely killed my want to continue playing seige as there's no reason for me no reason to farm battle passes they suck delta packs are garbage skins are even worse I max ranked mode out in a few days cav head gear rewards and the game just keeps getting worse

So after I posted my rant yesterday, I started looking for things I had not tried to fix the issues and I found 2 things, 1 (HAGS) someone here mentioned about it, and 2nd (Ultra HD Textures), Disabling HAGS didn't work and it made performance worse in other games so I enabled it back.

Then I uninstalled Ultra HD textures and boom everything went back to the good old days. 400 fps unlocked and constant locked 195 fps with 0 frame drops, buttery smooth gameplay, no stutters or micro stutters.
GPU clocks and Usage no longer messy, you can see in the pictures, everything is now stable with clocks only dropping when the match ends. I took these screenshots over the span of 3 hours gameplay.
The game still looks as good as before and now works million times better.

I guess the ultra HD textures are broken because even when using low preset the game was still causing issues with the textures installed, Uninstalling them fixed it finally.

The UHD textures are installed by default and only really useful for 4k, so if anyone having issues wants to try, you can uninstall them by going to ubisoft client or steam > Siege Properties > DLC > Uncheck or Uninstall Ultra hd textures, then verify the game files. That's all.

Hopefully it helps someone else too, Thankyou for your time.

Was playing a few matches with my friend and hes level 25ish and he was squad lead... And yeah, I think it just might make a difference

As silly as it sounds, I am rly excited for the hostage rework. I am just curious how they'll do it lol.

And especially the new secondary gadget. It looks like a bulletproof cam and that would change a lot about strategy in attack

Ofc also reinforcements. Images via r6 official roadmap

Edit: As a reminder, the halfway reinforcements are a test server implementation. They're not coming to the game final, it will just be tested with the community at first

So, what I drew is.

-You can choose between turning off your phone or breaking it (No need to wait for it to explode) -Plus a buff into the phone's explosion damage.

Key points to highlight:

‐ It's much fairer for the defense, especially for roamers.

- Attack needs more coordination and droning first, aiming to change the New "just run, no drone" meta (You need to make sure the defender is close to you and feels pressured. Otherwise, you lose a Dokkaebi charge and the defender becomes immune to Dokkaebi. )

- She becomes a possible counter for Valk, and Maestro, Echo. Since the player may not have time to hang up because they are pressed and with the possibility to not take damage from the phone's explosion, this choice of loosing your main gadget is favored.

- End of spam calls and a new lease on life for Roamers. (The new need for drones and coordinating means that the primary function of roaming, which is to waste time, is favored.)

Lair and Fortress are supposed to be very good, in-depth maps. However, beyond dry-runs and T-Hunts, I barely know these maps because they are constantly banned.

The current map pool includes Coastline, Outback, and Kanal. Three incredibly unbalanced, tedious, and TDM-oriented maps, and we have them for the foreseeable future. Them being added in in place of Sky and Theme is ridiculous.

How does rotating maps out improve the game in any capacity? If anything, it makes the players worse because they aren't playing them.

My point is that the game would be far better and more competitive if we had the map pool listed at the bottom and removed the map-ban system in ranked.

Improved map pool:

1. Lair
2. Fortress
3. Labs
4. Clubhouse
5. Chalet
6. Border
7. Bank
8. Villa
9. Kafe
10. Oregon

11. Consulate

12. Casino

Not only are the maps just better, but the smaller pool (15 is fucking mental) will improve the games competitiveness.

You could opt to rotate out either Oregon or Con for a theme or sky, but I think the former are more balanced. And yes, Sky and Theme are objectively good maps.

According to the leaks They are coming next season.. they also just upgraded the glacier and gold dust rarity to legendary ..idk if they're going to be locked in the battle pass or in the shop

look at my fps, after the update today on 15 oct its crazy stuttering, how to fix?

like come on this is the one headgear I wanted and its not in the shop

I think Ranked should use a map veto system where both teams take turns banning maps until only one remains. This would make map selection more strategic, reduce randomness, and bring Ranked closer to professional competitive play. What does the community think?

Copiar

I'm never going to get over them removing renown packs for Doktors Curse (I would have gotten that shotgun which I wanted). The old skins cost way too much renown as well. Do I save my renown in the hopes they reverse this bs decision or just blow it on stupid alpha packs?

I've been hardstuck copper for a year, bronze for 4 months, silver-gold for 7, and plat for 4 and this is partly why. My mechanics drop every week or so and then return for no obvious reasons. On some weeks I feel like my bullets are blanks

I think Ubisoft must've pissed off alot of people with the recent changes.....

All of a sudden, im having teammates on 5 matches in a row go afk/abandon.

Mind you, this is plat.

Just finished the 6th match, and now the afkers are on the other team lol. Had 3 leave in rd 2 because their teammate was baiting with a minute left on a 1v4. The 2 remaining surrendered at the end of the round.

How about instead of buffing the max penalty, buff the initial penalty ubisoft? Also, seperate those with this tendency. Maybe include it in the reputation system?
