I have obviously submitted a ticket already, I've been just wondering if the issue is global, or it's just me (and a few other people) because

• I'm using Linux
• I'm using an AMD GPU/CPU (...somehow?)
• the Steam update window stopped at 0%, so I restarted the whole thing and downloaded it again (but it must not be the reason, since I have also identified game file integrity after that)
• fuck me and my bad luck

It's probably unrelated, but since the latest patch (from ~2 days ago) I've been unable to delete the new Embark message in my inbox (top right corner in Speranza).

There is also another bug where the weapon upgrade click (from my inventory) takes me to the gunsmith bench, but with a completely different weapon in focus, also totally scrambling the weapon inventory, so first I have to rummage through 30 weapons to find the one in my hand - but that has been the case since the preceding patch.

This wheel thing is so frustrating that I just stopped playing altogether. I almost lost some valuable gear because I switched to the wrong item in a sticky situation, and I wouldn't want to go there again. It's like the mouse has an epileptic shock every time I move it while the wheel is up. Sometimes I try to pick the item in the bottom left, and after ~12 shakes in half a second it settles in the top section. Even when I'm doing very slow, steady circles it ends up crazy bouncing everywhere.

Some changes are happening with the expedition.

You now need to deal damage to earn skill points.

• search raider caches
• damage wasps
• damage vaporisers
• damage arc enemies in old town
• disarm mines during locked gate

• Map Condition - Close Scrutiny - ARC Operation
• New ARC threat - Vaporizer
• 2 new weapons - Canto SMG and Dolabra Energy Shotgun
• Player Project - High-Gain Antenna
• Spreading ARC Shredders
• Scrappy Feeding Boost
• Crafting Improvements

• Open containers inside the traffic tunnels
• Deal damage to Shredders
• Loot bird's nests
• Seach First Wave husks
• Damage flying ARC enemies

ARC Raiders is currently 20% off on Steam (tied w/ all-time low price).

• Damage ground-based ARC enemies
• Destroy Ticks, Fireballs, and Pops
• Disarm mines during Locked Gates (Blue Gate - Locked Gate)
• Harvest plants
• Search containers in the Medical Research Wing (Stella Montis)

That’s it, that’s all I have to say.

I made it just in time. Only had the value for 2 extra skill points sadly. Need to learn better loot routes or play more to get them all probably. Looking forward to getting to be afraid of arc again.

So for the first 100 or so hours I've played of this game I was mostly in PvE servers with the occasional PvP experience. This last week I've been constantly PvP'd while trying to complete quests. If the PvE servers are being disbanded, I guess I've gotten my value for the money I've spent but I'm likely done with this game at this point. I don't have the time to fight sweaty PvP players every round, I don't enjoy it. I prefer the Terminator story to the Mad Max one. I'm happy to potter through my quests and fight arc, but I can't do that anymore. I don't have the skill for PvP, nor the personal inclination for it.

I've also been killed by a bunch of people grouping in Solo where a few players make a coordinated effort to kill me, they're all wearing the same uniform.

I wake up early so I brought my setup to do some morning raids while on a trip. The rain adds to the experience

Phew. Because it wasn't listed in the other patch notes, I thought this was going to continue for longer. Guess it wasn't included because it sounds like it's a server-side fix.

Solos. I got to the point where it's basically impossible to even start a match. My last mission is the one where you need to find an extremely rare item on Stella Montis, and I loathe it for the same reason I did with the previous (awfully similar) mission: everyone will shoot you in the back there, always impossible to anticipate.

So Stella is one thing.

But at this point no matter which map I choose, not even TWO minutes pass, and I get my shield blown off from behind, from a dark corner, from behind a building I couldn't even see before, and I get rushed by some troglodyte, at which point I'm fighting at a disadvantage.

This all started 2-3 days ago. Raider flares and dead bodies all over the place. What is going on? It's like everyone has suddenly gone feral. Was there some change I'm not aware of? I understand it's a PvPvE game, but up until last Friday it's been usually a mix of friendly and hostile interactions. Now it's pretty much guaranteed I would get shot from behind a corner before I could even react and then get rushed, every single game, no matter what. Bloody frustrating. I can't even just look for friendly players to team up with, because the first one I see is usually the one that camps me down. It feels like something had changed recently, but I don't remember seeing anything related.

It's not the seventh week of trials but I thought maybe it would be easier to track by using this year weeks numbers

I'm not good enough at video games to beat sweaty's, so I like my peaceful polite PvE servers. However I like to play a lot more often than my friends and wind up playing solo a bunch which isn't as much fun. I'm also not good at making friends in game, so I'm making this post. If anyone is interested in joining up let's get together and go get looting!

Arc keeps beating me especially those drones that electrocute you

Me and dad share an account so I often play free so I might not have much of a chance but I’ve heard there’s some sort of advanced seeker grenade and those can be good against arc. Any other tips or am I cooked?
