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.

    • NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe by Fiza Ali NVIDIA has announced that 35 AI high-performance computing (HPC) supercomputers are planned to open throughout Europe this year. This marks what the company describes as the largest single-year expansion of AI infrastructure in the history of the continent. These new systems, unveiled at ISC High Performance 2026, will be placed at a number of national supercomputing centres, AI factories, and research institutes to provide advanced computing resources to more than three million researchers. Describing AI, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang stated, "AI is the new instrument of science, and Europe is building the infrastructure to put it in the hands of millions of researchers." Built on NVIDIA's Blackwell and Hopper architectures, the new systems will support research in climate science, healthcare, clean energy, quantum computing, and other scientific fields. Among the major projects are the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's MareNostrum 5 AI upgrade, BavariaAI's Blue Swan platform in Germany, Italy's IT4LIA AI factory, Germany's HammerHAI project, and Sweden's Mimer AI Factory. The Barcelona Supercomputing Center plans to expand MareNostrum 5 with NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and GB200 NVL4 systems. In total, the BSC expects to deliver up to 20 exaflops of AI training performance and 33 exaflops of AI inference performance. This increased computational capability will support research efforts related to climate modelling, biotechnology, energy systems, etc. Furthermore, as part of the IT4LIA project, more than 8,000 GPUs, each based on NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL4 architecture, will be used in Italy. This represents one of the largest AI factory initiatives announced to date. Additionally, the Blue Swan platform from BavariaAI will include about 1,000 GPUs to help develop multimodal AI models for use in the medical field, robotics, and various areas of scientific research. NVIDIA also emphasized in the announcement how rapidly growth of accelerated computing usage is taking place within both energy and climate-related research. The company said Siemens Energy uses NVIDIA-powered technologies to significantly accelerate the process of designing and simulating hydrogen-capable gas turbines. Using those same acceleration technologies, Siemens was able to reduce simulation time by up to 77 percent. The company also highlighted several quantum computing initiatives across Europe. CINECA, EuroHPC, and Pasqal are integrating a quantum processing unit into Italy's CINECA supercomputing centre using NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform. Meanwhile, researchers at Germany's Julich Supercomputing Centre recently simulated a universal 50-qubit quantum computer on the JUPITER supercomputer. The announcement demonstrates Europe's continued commitment to building out its infrastructure supporting AI and supercomputing as governments, research organizations, and technology companies compete to build out their respective computing capacities and secure their positions in advanced scientific research.

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram by Aditya Tiwari Meta announced that its Instagram for TV app has arrived on Samsung TVs in the US as part of its latest expansion, giving users one more way to scroll through Reels. The social media giant often comes under scrutiny for the "addictiveness" of its features, which leads people to spend excessive time on the platform. Interestingly, Instagram boss Adam Mosseri described spending 16 hours on the platform as "problematic use" but not "clinical addiction." Mosseri also compared scrolling on Instagram to binge-watching a show on Netflix. Instagram for TV is now available on Samsung TV models released in 2020 or later. The app is already available on Amazon Fire TV and Google TV in the US, which together account for the majority of connected TV devices. The company said it will test several new features to improve the living room and family experience while using Instagram on the big screen. Watching vertical videos on a big screen isn't something many would be excited about. Probably that's why Meta is testing a dedicated home for horizontal videos. Creators will get the opportunity to design content for TV screens and get more ways to reach audiences, according to Meta. If you found an interesting Reel while doomscrolling on your phone, you'll be able to cast it to your TV. The feature is available for testing on Instagram for TV on Google TV and Amazon Fire TV, and it will also support videos from the Saved tab. Instagram for TV will be testing Channels organized around user interests, across genres such as comedy and sports, as well as content from favorite creators. Moreover, you can watch Stories on your TV. While Instagram is known for short-form videos, it's knocking on more doors to keep the audience hooked. The company said it's exploring new content formats for the big screen, including long-form creator content to cover topics in detail, episodic series to build suspense across multiple episodes, and creator live sessions on TV. All of the new updates put Instagram in competition with established giants like YouTube (and Netflix), which already have a robust presence on the big screen. In recent updates, Instagram added the ability to write an individual caption for each carousel image, manually re-order posts, and a paid version of the app.

      I know RAM and storage prices are high right now, but I think it would have been better to have 1TB as the base level storage, especially as it's supposed to be for gaming. Plus a 2.5gbe ethernet port rather than only 1gbe.
