    To answer that, intel says that the button was rarely used by very few users and was quite a buggy feature. I removed it to clear up the UI a bit.
    You can easily open your profile folder by right-clicking the profile name on the bottom since 1.7. If enough people require that feature again, I will add it back.
     

    I haven't see that feature on the wiki. I'll search that a bit and see about it. Should not be difficult to change tho

    Thanks for all that feedback !

    Ah, right click the profile! That will do just fine, thank you.

    The tactical ping thing isn't documented here, but I promise it works. In fact, you can tactical ping in either the map of the main game window and it shows up on the other if that is set to 2. It's not seen by other players, though, as far as I can see.

    Problem is there are zero RAM kits above DDR4-3600! I was looking at the  5600X + DDR-4000CL16 on a B550 MB. The get an AMD GPU when it gets released.

     

    This is a long standing problem. Last year, I had to pay over the odds to get fast RAM with low latency to go with my 9900K. And my CPU is less finicky about the RAM you use with it, unlike these nice new AMD parts.

    We don't know how big his monitor is. If's a run of the mill 1080 monitor, then a 1060 will be good enough. My 1080 just about powers my 2560 x 1440.
    If the SSD is a good fast M2 type and big enough, I'd not worry too much about seperating the game and the OS. Some people have dozens of huge mods and so need a lot of space, it makes sense then, but otherwise, I'd prefer 1 big SSD over 2 smaller ones.

    Hi @Keelah,I've got a couple of things on my mind. 🙂

    First, can we have an 'open RPT button' that opens the rpt file in the default application? FAST used to have it and I miss it.

    Also, FASTER only allows us to set custom difficulty for tactical ping to zero or one - off or on. The game allows it to be set to 2, which renders the tactical ping on everyones map as well as in the main screen. Could FASTER allow that too please?

     *correction* the tactical ping doesn't appear on everyones map when it's set to two, only the person who pings it, but nevertheless, a useful tool I'd lve to have.

    I can edit the profileoutput from within FASTER to make it work, by the way, just the application dropdown box doesn't have the option.

    @oldbear, I was just about to say that the onboard sound systems on modern motherboards are very reliable and for the average user, they are more than good enough, but then I remembered, this user isn't using a 'modern' motherboard, he's using an 8 year old motherboard when onboard sound systems were junk.

    The specific occasional stuttering sometimes points to a sound card - the game is trying to play a particular sound effect that might be a big file or in a format the soundcard doesn't support - but this is usually just a driver issue.

    The simplest, most correct, but probably most unwelcome answer is - @TurtIeeee, your PC is old and knackered. Time to upgrade.

    MIssion updated to 1.10.4086. Dropbox links on first page updated.

     

    Bug fixes and performance fixes using new BI scipting commands, statements and functions. There's no real highlights in this release - mostly fixes and tweaks.

     

    The rewrite mentioned in the previous post didn't need to happen in the end.

     

    A new secondary mission where players are tasked with going plain clothed in a civvy car to sneak around an enemy held town has taken longer than expected to finish. I was hoping to have it ready for this release, but it has turned out to be a really big and complex mission so it'll be in a subsequent version.

    v2.6 - "Config Viewer 73 Preview" update
    +++ Added +++
    - You can now preview certain classes from the Config Viewer 73 (see the Steam description)
    - Shortcut for opening the debug console changed from "^" key to CTRL+D (same as CBA)

    ~~~ Changed ~~~
    - Some background stuff, I am transitioning to using BIS_fnc_display for my displays

    If you have another idea for configs which can be previewed just drop a comment.

     

    @Tankbuster there you go 😉

    Top work. Thanks mate.

    That -high did you add that?

    Other then that im still leaning on the low speed of your ram and the game being on an SSD, rpt's aren't really showing me

    anything that i can recognize as a conflict or something happening to cause the issue.

     

    @oldbear @Tankbuster you guys see anything here in the rpt and or specs aside what i pointed out that

    could be causing the stuttering for him?

    It's an old CPU and yes, the slow RAM is holding it back even more. As to why the game is stuttering now when it wasn't before? Perhaps an overheat?

    I was lucky I stopped being community manager before the explosion of social media, I certainly don't envy anyone who has to professionally wade through the depths of toxicity whilst staying calm and encouraging to the community as a whole!

    I'm sure you're right.

    This is going to be the most unreproducable bug report ever. 🙂

    My dedicated server is here, next to me and I use remote desktop to access it.

    When I first look at the FASTER interface using RD, it all looks fine.

    If I shut down RD and reconnect, the text of the names of the server profiles on the main menu, turn black and is very hard to read.ca3eef7206.png

    Now I'm not sure if this is related to remote desktop, I've seen no other applications do things like this on that machine. I'm running the version you released a day or two ago and both this and the previous version show this behaviour.

    Any thoughts?

    That's very kind of you to say. But to be completely honest I think that I waaay overdid the manner in which I moderated and should have had a much more understanding/empathetic tone, it's something I regret and one of the reasons I then stepped back from the frontline to the "rear echelon mf" 😉

    Personally, I think the level you struck on the understanding/empathic <----> unfeeling/blindrulefollowing was absolutely spot on. Another moderator, who shall remain nameless, remarked to me and others that yours were sizeable shoes to step into.

    Of course, users have changed too. They have become more demanding and perhaps less patient and that requires a different style that, it should be said, the current team are doing a fine job at fullfilling.
