Re: Players turning down settings to see through smoke

I was wondering about this and had been meaning to look up what settings affect this, more than a few times people have been able to lock me down with laser accuracy in a smoke cloud when I was completely blind (and not firing coz muzzle flash).

  • Unfortunately, its absolutely a thing
    The guy who did this who I played with, was like
    "you are a lvl 50 or whatever and you havnt done this yet? Everyone's doing it. Not doing it just leaves you behind"

  • yeh its called BS. settings need to be locked in the ini files for games like this. also I lmao @ people who have these $500 + graphic cards and play on low settings. too funny.

    Well the game isn't optimized that well at the moment so why wouldn't people with high end cards play on low settings?

    When the game launched it would crash to desktop when I had high settings, haven't bothered to see if they fixed that issue.

    Only way to see through the smoke as far as I know if the aimbot setting that shows frames around other characters. If the guy said was able to see through it, chances are he was cheating.

  • Well,  you are wrong.  Aimbot/wh is not the only way to see through smoke.

    Didn't try it myself, but this  video is not unique with this exploit

  • I have NP running this game on full maxed out settings and have a 8350 Cpu and 1060 6gb gpu, that's not all that imo, The game prob needs help I guess because I see people having problems. But this game don't take a 2000 dollar pc to run either.

    Same here  in two matches today: Thick Smoke (Bangalore) and I was fired at through it with 100 % accuracy while I couldn´t see anything.

    This has to be fixed
