Played one game and when it to change something in my kit and the game crashes. I lose around 25 kills, a service star, 5000 points, about 10 different ribbons, and locks my computer up for 5 minutes. Awesome. Seems like everything is working as it should.

And from what I saw of it the chat box is horrible now. I liked the colors in the last version, so easy to tell the different chats apart. Now they have the position right they just ****ed the colors up, again. For every good thing they change they make an equally stupid one.

What do you think? 4-5 years til games start to look like this? (This is an actual photo of looking down a PSO-1 scope courtesy of wikipedia.)

I've been reading about ARMA 2... Wow... Downloading the free version now...

Red Orchestra 1 and 2 already do this:

Hm, I just noticed I have a new weapon. The MP412 Rex. Where did this come from?

Also, my co-op score went up ten fold, even though I haven't played that in a while now.

Interesting.

It's unlocked by achieving a score of 5,000 in co-op.

You unlock that gun and a few others for MP by playing co-op.

Hm. I never noticed this particular gun before. I also haven't played co-op in forever, so I don't know how I have it (Not that I'm complaining). Lol

I did, however, pick up a fallen comrade's MP7 the other night. I wonder if that score went towards my co-op.

That might be it. The MP7 is another gun unlocked in co-op.

Anyway, the last patch is the second one to improve my performance. Everything feels much smoother and the FPS is noticeably higher. The graphics look slightly desaturated now. Has anyone noticed that?

They reduced the amount of points it takes to unlock stuff in co op.

yeah, although it hasn't fully done it...on battlelog stats I have the G3A3 unlocked (didn't before the change) but in the game (360) I still can't use it...I'm guessing its all part of the karkand update process and since PS3 got it today some if the implementation has happened and some hasn't.

They should've just limited the irnv to a certain class, or one per squad, so something. In reality everyone soldier wouldnt have such an expensive scope, or else every soldier on the battlefield would have one.

I do wish they would have limited number of classes per team. That was on of my favorite things about the original America's army. only two snipers per team, and the other classes were limited as well.

That set up makes the most sense, and yet i havent really seen another game adopt that, which is sad.

that explains why i have weapons now that i didnt have before the patch.

Class limits should only be done by server settings by the admin. The only probelm I see is people want to play sniper and force somone out of the class or kick them. Weapons restrictions (again setup in server settings) would be nice also. 64 man Metro is chaos with RPGs always flying around, 32 man can be a pain also. I been on the Neowin server and there is always a few people who still use rockets and tubes, If i use the M320 its only a smoke grenade.

Definitely not liking the new chatbox. It's like they've changed it back to how it was before they changed anything about it and only changed it's location. They could at least bring back the way it visually looked before today's patch.

Ever since the update, the PC servers have ALL been empty! :(

Are you sure? Filters got reset because of the new filter options.

Also it kind of ****es me off they reduced the amount of points it takes to unlock the co op weapons after I unlocked them weeks ago. It honestly didn't take that long to get them all, maybe 4 or 5 hours if that.

What happened to the Campaign? now when I try to load it, it falls back to the desktop with "something went wrong" yet Multiplayer works fine. It worked fine before this huge update.

I had the same issue. You need to start a new mission instead of resuming one you played previously. Also, it's nice that the campaign loads straight to the menu now. Before, it would show the EA and DICE logos.

Is anyone else noticing faster loading times, improved fps and a revamped skin of the skelton (the one which appears when a teammate dies)?

I definitely noticed improved performance. As for loading times, it seems about the same as it was in the previous patch.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
