true, but a pre-ban lower is basically the same price as a complete pre-ban rifle, which is twice as expensive as going the pump action route.

It fixed itself, for some reason. don't play it much anymore anyway

So I went to start up bf1 and it will not even launch anymore, It worked fine when I first installed it on my new PC (3 or 4 weeks ago). I tried reinstalling the game, reinstalling the redist packages, checked firewall etc. but nothing has worked. Any ideas on how to fix this? My other games run fine.

got her all put together.

Yeah I bought the Edge Of Darkness package. I'm currently Alpha testing the game. It's got a few bugs like any new game but the potential is looking pretty good to me. It's gonna be a pretty decent game when it's done. I love it. Just need a team of people to play with.

Well now that I have a system that can run it I'll be looking into getting it, and we can squad up once I do.

Sounds kickass to me. Been rolling my own for the last 20 years, you'll love your new toy. Nothing like hitting the power switch and Frankenstein posts to life. You'll also be stunned at how beautiful your games are @ 1920x1080, after running notebooks. Makes killing folks on the other side of the map much easier. Enjoy!!

My laptop has a 60Hz 1920x1080p screen so the biggest upgrade in visual hardware will be to that 144Hz. Also 17.3" to a 24" screen is a big difference.

Very Nice! Just got done building my own last week. Good luck to you and your new PC bud! It's a great feeling.

 

DAMAGEPLAN do you have EFT? I've been interested in it, but haven't gotten it due to A] not having an appropriate PC and B] reports of lots of bugs and horrible US servers.

Don't go with laptop don't care what B says you will not every get the same performance as a PC never ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wait the market is about to to change big time and don't ever listen to B ever !!!!!!!!

 

Texas when I got my laptop it made sense, I was a college student that was constantly commuting to school and I needed to be able to bring my work with me. It has an i7 processor and a gtx 770m gpu so in its day it could run skyrim, fallout, bf3, etc. on high/ultra settings at 60fps. its only sucks now because of the 3GB vram where most games now need at least 4. 

So after trying to play newer games on my old gaming laptop (2014 MSI GT70, gtx770m), and finding them borderline unplayable (20fps mid settings) I decided to go all out and build my first desktop gaming pc. luckily I have a buddy from college who lives nearby and has previous experience with stuff. He built a tentative list of parts for me in my budget and I altered a few things here and there. Everything has arrived safely via FedEx and I'm just waiting till Thursday for my buddy to come over and help me build it. I'll post pics once completed. So on to the parts list!

First off everything is going to be seated in a Corsair Carbide 400C ATX Mid Tower Case. It has a hinged smoke window on one side for easy access and viewing.
My power supply is a EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750W 80. Plenty of additional power ports for upgrades down the line.
My motherboard is a Asus STRIX Z270-E GAMING. It is the top end Strix mobo, but not as crazy as some.
For now I'll be running 16GB of Corsair Vengance ram (8GBx2 DDR4).
Processor is an Intel i7 6700K 4.0GHz.
To cool that down I have a Corsair H100i v2 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler.
The graphics card I chose is a MSI GTX 1080 Duke 8GB OC. It comes over clocked from the factory and has three cooling fans. The thing is huge, about the length of my forearm. (There was a sale and the Duke was actually cheaper than a standard MSI 1080)
Storage is going to be handled by a 250GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD and a Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM HDD. My case has three SSD slots so I'll probably pick up a 500GB or 1TB SSD down the line.
FInally I'll get to see everything through an Asus VG248QE 24.0" 1920x1080 144Hz monitor.

What do you all think of the build?

A buddy from college helped me out with a potential build list. What do you think? https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Mr.Saxy/saved/LDsxrH

It has the 1TB hdd. I did some searching and I'm 98% for building a new pc ground up.

I'm looking to an upgrade soon and I'd prefer to not have to build a whole new rig. Currently I have a 2014 MSI GT70 with a gtx770m card. The highest upgrade I can find for my specific laptop is a gtx980m, but that is still a little outdated considering the power of the newer 1000 series cards (a new 1080 is only about $150 more than a used 980m). Would it be best to go with a full size card and have it mounted externally? If so does anyone know the best way to do so? The 770m card has just been cast into the "outdated" section as most games recomend at least 4gb video memory and it only has 3gb. I'd like to be able to run new games on ultra settings (if not at least very high) with a respectable frame rate. Right now Ghost Recon Wildlands runs at 20fps on medium settings. BF1 runs 40-50 fps on low, but the lack of dedicated vram shows in action heavy scenes with fps drops down to 1-5 range. Just asking you guys because someone is bound to know something.

The Game is Third Person just like "The Division" no first person options at all i'm afraid, i found the Division boring after a while and user unfriendly, it would not allow you to play with your friends if they were a different game level than you...so strange, i was in a map with another person one day and we were in exactly the same place on the map but it took us about 30 minutes to understand why we could not see each other, it was like i said we were both different levels so even though we thought we had teamed up we were invisible to each other...fucking stupid game, it was more like a single player game, i don't know what Wildlands is like only seen youtube videos but to me it looks the same as the Division only out in the open instead of a city.

It's actually a lot different from the Division as it doesn't use the BS random number generator for your gear. All gear is found in crates and is the same for all players. Player level also doesn't matter when teaming up, it only affects your skill progression. enemies aren't bullet sponges and most enemies will go down with one headshot (helmets might take two). The game is also much larger. The Division is around 10 km^2 in size, where as Wildlands is around the 200 km^2 mark (thats 3x the size of GTAV)

oh and the "0" in "N0T" is a zero 

Uplay ID is "NAMEN0TFOUNDXI" they have a stupid 15 character limit so I have to change my long ass name on every gaming platform. Profile pick is my white 3000GT sports car.

@@AyaqGuyaq I was referring to the absurd price of a beat to hell AR that has changed hands many times. The local gun store was getting pre-ban AR's from the Texas department of corrections that you could tell had been used daily for 30 years, and selling them for $2k. I wish I had 200,000 rounds lol.

Welcome! I believe I've played Insurgency with you a few times in the past. It's nice to have you here.

apparently my cellphone takes massive pictures, sorry about that.

I finally got most my upgrades installed on my gen4 G34. The only thing I'm waiting on is a custom ported Lone Wolf barrel. As it sits now I have the extended control kit, coated in titanium nitride (TiN, gold in color but nearly frictionless), it comes with an extended slide stop and slide release, and all of the pins to hold the gun together. A stainless steel guide rod in TiN, it adds more weight to the front of the gun to reduce muzzle flip. An extended tear-drop mag release button in gold to keep with the color scheme. The extension allows you to hit the button without changing your grip. Next is a flat gold slide plate to add a bit of flair. The biggest upgrade by far is the new Pyramid Trigger Kit, which vastly improves the trigger pull. There is next to no creep, no over-travel, and reset is half of the stock trigger. I went with the ultimate version of the kit which adds; a new trigger and trigger safety, new TiN trigger bar, a Double Diamond 3.5 lb connector, a new trigger housing with lighter spring, titanium safety plunger with a lighter spring, a skeletonized titanium striker (with an extended striker head to cut down on light primer strikes), and your choice of striker springs of 2,3,4, and 5 lbs (I went with the 3 lb). I'm pretty happy so far, and I can't wait to take it to the range soon.
 

Amen to that EastCoast50, they have the power and majority to make it happen.

My friends list is devoid of people who own this game and I'd like to play as a team rather than solo. If any of you want to send me a friend request my Steam is http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198106667769/

I recently purchased the Troy PAR National in 5.56x45/.223 Rem. Over here in Connecticut we have an "assault" weapons ban and this rifle was specifically designed to comply with the law without compromising ergonomics. It is a pump-action rifle that accepts standard AR style magazines (limited to 10 rounds in Ct, but will accept larger ones too). There are more choices than the one I purchased. The short action is offered in 5.56/.223 and .300 Blackout, the long action is offered in .308 Win, and there is a special Mossy Oak edition that is chambered in .338 Fed and has a camo finish. The short actions have two options, Optics Ready and National. The optics ready package is the cheaper of the two and comes without sights and a standard buffer tube assembly with a standard collapsible stock. The one I purchased is the National, it ships with Troy folding battle sights pre-sighted and a proprietary 5 position folding stock. All models come with a threaded barrel and a muzzle brake to reduce recoil. The PAR National msrp is $1099 but I picked up mine new at the local Cabela's for $1049. That price may seem a little steep, but with our gun laws a pre-ban AR-15 from the 80's with a fixed stock, fixed carry handle and maybe 200k rounds through it will set you back at least $2000.

So I got the message saying that I've been inactive for too long and I had 7 days to log in and start doing stuff again. Funny thing is I didn't even realize that I hadn't been on the website for almost a month because I've been in TS playing BF1 with you wonderful gents. Anyway, here's to me forgetting again!! 

Good luck with that man, the time I have been on I've been playing fallout 4 or (the dreaded) No Man's Sky. I'm mostly into single player games, and BF4 has lost some of the magic as it's died down. From what I've played and seen from BF1 is it outclasses BF3, BF4, and BFH by a mile. Really brings the cinematic grit of the war shooter back. 

Hey guys, just checking in with you all, I haven't been on as much since I got promoted to full time hours at work. I'm working the dinner shift too so I usually get home around midnight and don't have the energy to hop on the PC. I'm stoked for BF1 coming out, the beta was pretty good, but this game strikes close to me because I had family that fought and died in WWI. Any way you'll probably see a lot more of me once it drops. 

I didn't get in until after the Gun master game. the link he sent first was bad

Here is a link to the recording hxtr
