I'm not sure if I'd call it this rough, but I played on servers that kicked (or at least limited) snipers for a reason.

Is there a kind of team balancing thing once a new round begins? The game should really try to make the teams somewhat equal by going by the last round's points. That is extremely short-sighted and I don't understand how anybody can say that. I've frequently changed to the weaker team when I saw they're just struggling and one more guy could help them.

Everybody here probably knows by now I hate snipers more than anything in this game. But I find it hard to believe that's why anybody would (or should) get banned.

The fresh v5.004 install and then patching to v5.1 via the auto-updater didn't have the problem. I guess my old install (from public beta 1) must have had something scrambled up, so I'm just going to continue play with the new installation. Here's a comparison between the two v5.1 (all I changed in both was going to 1080p and disabling bloom):

Neither worked, but thanks. I'm going to do a clean reinstall of v5.004 see if it's there in Skirmish.

Didn't change anything, unfortunately (deleted the one in \Renegade X\UDKGame\Config). I did look through it a bit and couldn't find anything related to chromatic aberration, color shift or "scene fringe" as it is called in Unreal engine. What's rather weird is that it's clearly not there in the menu background.

No, bloom is something quite different. It's there if I put everything on lowest/off settings and also when everything is on/highest. Tried it on three maps now (Whiteout, Islands and something else). Ex-/Including AA (MSAA makes my minimap flicker), texture filtering etc. It's definitely behaving like CA does in all the other games that have it. Everything that's not in the middle of the screen gets an ugly violet or green shifted edge. This was definitely not a case in the previous RenX versions. I'm googling for a solution, because I can't play the game this way.

Primary: Convert GDI troops. Secondary: Take control of them.

Did 5.1 introduce chromatic aberration that can't be removed? Did I maybe overlook something in the settings? CA is already a horribly ugly effect, but I'm getting some weird green/blue version of it, it seems. I put everything on the lowest settings and it's still there. I'm looking through my old screenshots (178 already!) and not seeing it anywhere.

I liked the side weapons, but I'm only just now downloading the patch, so I can't say anything about liking the changes or not. It certainly sounds radical.

I didn't understand any of this. =/

You're here since 2009 and yet your thread title is not informative at all.

You also can't spot mines and remote C4. Seems like a design choice to me.

No, that'd be a horrible game-breaking change.. It's exactly why I hate snipers so fucking much.

I'm not going through all the sub-areas, but it didn't seem to me that this boards is flooded by threads about the DDOS at all.
