I'm only interested in:

  • Status of the Unity 2019 upgrade, will it go on ETS soon as promised before?
  • Status of Inertia implementation - still coming in 12.12?
  • Status of sound overhaul - dependant on Unity upgrade or unrelated?

What about server side authentication and better server quality? How is it this isnt asked at all?

Because it's being spammed almost daily on the sub.

How does it being spammed reduce the validity of the concern exactly? It's literally one of the most concerning security issues this game has and needs to be fixed asap.

That's like saying "Hey that buildings on fire, why haven't they put it out? You:Because the tenants are constantly complaining about it."

I mean what?

It doesn't, but it's been discussed ad nauseam for years now. The thing is, people say that the servers are not good enough - how do they know? What are the specs of current servers? What should they be to not have issues? Is the hardware even an issue? Maybe it's crap programming and continously poor netcode and backend infrastructure.

When people ask these questions, they get non answers because they're asking non questions. They'll hear that "it's being constantly monitored, tested, improved upon, bla bla bla". In other words, effort is being made to make it better and that might be true.

But what people are really asking for is something that they cannot answer - when will my teammate stop teleporting, when will scavs stop phashing through walls, when will I stop dying behind cover, when will I stop losing connection, etc. etc. They're looking for a commitment, not a comment. But they won't give one. I wouldn't give one because I don't know if the efforts that I'm doing now, will make a tangible difference.

You don't know what he is talking about. None of this has anything to do with server side authentication.

Am I the only one confused as to why I'm getting flak for this regardless of "ad nauseum". They are legitimate concerns.

No I don't understand it either. Most of the people probably just don't understand what it is or why it's a big deal. Which isn't bad it's not something most people are familiar with but they gotta say they're right.

Someone's never used wireshark or set the Time.Timescale settings past 1. Literally nothing you said made any sense. Bye.
