Muzzle Flash. To stay locked or have the option of disabling it?

(distinquishedSandwich) #1

The muzzle flash is back, and no one likes Muzzle Flash that’s a fact.
Please rethink your idea and at least give us the option to disable it, cause it’s really interfering with people’s aim.

(distinquishedSandwich) #2

My Own 2 cents. This feature is hated in all shooters from the competitive aspect, due to how it can interfere with your aim.

Some people might not mind it, but a lot of others will hate it with a passion. Please don’t force enable this feature, and allow us to disable it from the menu or by using configs.

The problem is where it becomes TOO obstructive. It’s all a matter of finding just the right amount.

same goes for blood splatter when shooting someone, would love a way of disabling both of these without disabling explosions/smoke

Disabling all the modified config files is the worst idea of that updates. want to make the game more balanced ? go make a real update, not that kind of, no problem are fixed, no missions can be done, filter server just works when the refresh is totally complete, no stop refresh button on server search, all those explosion and those things make the game unplayable on my 2ndary PC (laptop of 2012) when a battlefield 4 works on… if you want to see all people use config file, just had a easy to do config file on your website, but STOP *******NG RUIN OUR GAME SPLASH DAMAGE !

Game is unplayable for me right now. Now I have to wait 2 weeks till they fix all this shit.

disable both player and enemy visual, seriusly you messed up so much in so many ways this update and i’m not talking about login issues.

Wow! People complain about the dumbest things…

Oh, i guess you speak for everyone since its a fact XD

I didn’t know it wasn’t splash damages game… good to know its not theirs to make the way they want XD

Muzzle flash, I’m fairly certain, was tied to other visual effects. I’d be all for an option being put in the game for it specifically but I’m not sure that’s in the cards right now.

May I ask what muzzle flash is?

Dumbest things? maybe for you that are a casual player that dislikes being competitive, the majority of people here seem to think otherwise, and i don’t know how you can say it’s just a dumb thing since it mess up the aim A LOT for no reason to exist AT ALL

Goodbye, please don’t come back.

Seriously if something as minor as fucking muzzle flash makes the game unplayable for you just get the hell out already. You people whine about the tiniest little things jesus christ.

Amerika is right, muzzle flash is tied to the same cvar that could be used to remove explosion effects from the screen and that needed to be clamped out.

The point of the patch was to make it so people cannot gain an unfair advantage by disabling effects… so what is the problem if both you and your enemy have the same effects? If you are truly all about being competitive then you should be glad that the game is trying to be fair.

I used to get 60-40fps mid battle before patch. Now I get 35fps max and around 20fps mid battle. They increased the limit of how low world textures are and everything looks extra sharp, with 20fps its pretty much impossible to see what you are shooting at.

If your PC cant run the game dont blame the game… and dont cry when the devs try to make the game fair for everyone who can play the game.

Configs were reset. Give it a day or two and people will update their High FPS configs with allowed settings and everything will work about the same again. My personal FPS config, which didn’t go crazy on the lod settings, remove explosions/muzzle flash/foliage appears to still work without issue.

And there were hud optimizations that should help fix a lot of the FPS spiking people saw.

(tinyHouse) #17

I could still play the game at 20fps if visuals are clear enough. The only way to get rid of the sharpness is to turn on anti-aliasing but that increases input latency and drops your fps. All I am asking is for clear visuals. How can you play a game when you can’t see what you are shooting at properly?

(crimsonYouth) #18

Really my post was flagged because you cant run the game? lol

Then just disable it to everyone, it would still be fair accordingto your logic, it serves to nothing other than annoy, it makes harder to see in some situation, where it will just end up to lose the aim and start randomly shooting hoping to hit an enemy you can’t clearly see, there is a reason if any competitive game doesen’t have it don’t you think?

I dont care if they removed it for everyone. I just dont mind it being on for everyone either. I dont have a problem until people start removing things in a config to gain an advantage.
