[@that_fluff]

You might take a peek at the "That's Lit" mod if you're finding bots to be noticing you from super far or in the dark, it's focused on delaying their awareness of you depending on light and other factors

[@ajfgaming7387]

Last season, you mentioned that you hated that scav bosses would kill you when you're a scav. There's a mod called server value modifier, it let's you change server values... Hence the name, lol, and you can make it so they're always friendly when you're a scav. There's also a lot more you can change in it too. Anyways, I thought I'd make you aware if you weren't already

[@CarlSW]

@@that_fluffpretty sure that’s already apart of sains

[@sp-tarkin]

hey there! this is nooky, one of the dev of SWAG + Donuts. I strongly suggest you update SWAG + Donuts as well as Waypoints (just in case you haven't yet) they have a number of fixes and improvements especially in regards to performance. thanks for using our mods!

[@ajfgaming7387]

@sp-tarkin Love the mod! Thank you for your work in the modding community :)

[@mog512]

I've had Tarkov for years but almost never played it because of the learning curve while dealing with cheaters and all but your channel made me try STP and I just wanted to say thanks because I'm finally loving the game I bought years ago! Subscribed!

[@gamervisuals]

love to see it!

[@MamaEmMedia]

It's def had the same benefit for me, I got the game really early on from a friend that gifted it to me. But it was something I rarely played cause of the cheater issue for the longest time. (cheaters weren't much of a prob in the early days so I got a lot of time in then) But after the GV pop on my feed with SPT, it game me a new motivation for play Tarkov again (both SPT and Live)

[@Welsh_Veteran_420_Z]

A shame I've played so much and experienced cheaters so little it's not affected my game at all

You got me into tarkov. I tried playing live tarkov, but do to life, having a 1 year old and such, i can only play a couple hours a week, so it wasnt worth it. Until i stumbled upon your S2 vids. Now im having a blast! Thank you!

[@gamervisuals]

This is literally my favorite thing to see! As a fellow parent, I completely understand you have zero time to play games and when you finally do have it, you wanna chill and have fun. Happy gaming homie!

[@Shiveringnudus]

I’ve had Tarkov for almost a decade and barely put more than a couple dozen hours into it. After finding your channel and making my own SPT I haven’t been able to stop playing

[@corpplyr]

I wiped today too!! v3.8 Zero-to-Hero Time!! Good luck GV and to everyone in their new season!! and extra luck to my USEC, TheChosinMosin

[@gamervisuals]

good luck, brother!

[@ifoundmemallet3394]

SPT looks like fun and i’m INCREDIBLY impressed by the ai pathing and logic for Ai PMC’s. They act like real people for the most part and actually look like pmcs rather than raiders. Might have to pick this mod up (If it’s good that is)

[@Little_86]

Dude, its a wet dream for a father. I installed it with pause function and I am having a blast. Its so much fun to play.

[@Jajoo13]

@@Little_86 whats the pause mod name? I saw one but it did not support 3.8.0

Change the version tag in the package.json of the mod and it'll load it. Whether or not it'll work correctly is another deal ​@@Jajoo13

[@AllenBalsmeier]

​@@Jajoo13apparently the sain mod has a pause feature of you hit the pause button on keyboard.

[@YoutubeChannelOfSomeDescriptio]

Just a heads up, the mod "No Bush ESP" is already implemented into SAIN, and they both conflict with each other.

[@garrytherat4793]

Yeah in SAIN modpage they specify to not use both at the same time

[@gamervisuals]

I already fixed this! I didn't realize it at first

[@cory9919]

Oh my god. I just finished my first successful raid in Tarkov on this map and it ended almost exactly the same way this one did. I made it to the paid extract under fire from a scav, whole body was black except my left leg and when i get there i had to learn you gotta interact with the car to start the timer...and it was a full minute and i have a bleed on my head. so im watching that extract timer count down as my vision is fading just like in your video and watching my overall health slowly deplete. it was a race to zero and i won with 2 hp left. holy moly what a thrill!

[@AveragePDGamer]

you never get this type of stuff in live istg, good shit bro

[@blitzkrieg4689]

I love terrifying and competent the Ai can be in this mod I’m loving it haven’t had this much fun on tarky in a long while

[@ViividVR]

S3, Let's go!! 🎉

[@gamervisuals]

so stoked!!

[@CarlSW]

There’s a cool mod called boss notifier or something. It lets you know what boss is in a raid when you get in, but you can make it so it only does it depending on your intelligence center level. I just find it gives intelligence center a new use which is pretty cool.

[@gamervisuals]

that is pretty dope actually!

[@squallstopher608]

Just learned about SPT today, and you were lucky enough to be the top search result. I like your format and enjoyed the video. Have a sub, and I'll be back for more.

[@jumboMW3]

Let’s go been waiting since you announced it, just finished watching season 2 and started watching Season 1, you got me into sptarkov, as a new player this wipe I was really struggling and just wanted to learn the game and have fun. I appreciate it!

[@gamervisuals]

Love to see this

[@7.62enjoyer]

love to see it!

[@Grieva-SeeD-]

Excellent stuff! I play my own style of hardcore. I have 1 single kit. I have no insurance until Prapor is level 2, and I pay 100K roubles anytime I want to use the "GIVEMESPACE" option as I personally really hate the grind to upgrade stash via the hideout. I do take an alpha case for items and I don't restrict what I put in there. It is a hardcore -light sort of playthrough but balances fun with challenge.

[@aapharambo1862]

"hardcore" but scared to pvp?

[@Grieva-SeeD-]

@@aapharambo1862 not at all. I've played plenty of PvP in my life but Tarkov asks too much of my time to stay within a chance of doing okay. SPT is there when I want it to be. If I don't play live Tarkov for a few weeks because of life or other commitments and I come back I'm on the back foot. Plus I don't have to deal with any cheaters in SPT.

[@Earzentail]

[@aapharambo1862]

@@Earzentail I dont get what you're trying to tell me? All I know is that playing against bots only means you're scared to pvp cause you're probably a free kill.

[@Earzentail]

@@aapharambo1862 Of course you don't get it, it's a bit more complicated than "you see head - you click on head". There are PVE games that are much much harder than anything PVP and there are good PVP players who don't like to PVP. I know, reading comprehension requires a bit more IQ than playing call of duty, but I hope this helps.

[@audiosurfarchive]

That was one of the most clutchness and nerve wracking endings I've seen on SPT for you so far

[@StalwartTirith]

Also yeah I fully support going for any mods that make the AI stop cheating and being unfair. Plus something to fix those weird graphical artifacts.

[@eagleone5456]

Im absolutely pumped to get into this game. Ive been playing Tark like servers on Arma, Xbox so I think im prepared for the instability of my subpar build coming

SPT is great once you get it customized and working, its so much fun!

[@rasheen7995]

Amands sense works on 3.8, and the white trees is because you have an outdated version of de-clutterer, the white trees issue was solved with the most recent update.

[@gamervisuals]

I'll check and see if that's what was going on

[@CarlSW]

[@ElTeesModellingCorner]

11/10 for the intro for sure. Looking forward to S3 even though I'm still confused about you lack of knowledge about the game every now and then. Too bad my i7-6700K and GTX 1070 can barely cope with .14 (3.8.0)...

[@gamervisuals]

Well I never claimed to be an expert on the game. I know a lot about it but I’m more of an enjoyer of the game than an expert in how everything works

[@ElTeesModellingCorner]

@@gamervisuals No worries man. Sometimes I'm just confused that you think you can use the closest extract, like in S2 you spawned at Big Red and thought you could extract at RUAF or Smugglers or here where you spawned close to Nakatami and was surprised you had to go to Emercom. I'm gonna enjoy S3 anyways. 👍

[@faydex86]

Yknow, for the initial tasks, that could be the mission your team was sent on in which you got seperated. Theres a mod you can run to have a friendly pmc join you and run with you as a group. You could play that way, and set milestones for when your boys show up at your hideout one at a time until you have a full 5 stack hitting labs for the ultimate tasks.

Opted for zero to hero too and I really like how you're doing it! "Scav runs when Jack is in dire need of help" wonder if those should cost money, like delete X amount of roubles, or owe the scav and delete that much when you get it lol

The white plates ''artifacting'' is from De-clutterer, because you have to have your texture quality on Medium (don't know if you found it out already, currently commenting while watching.)

for the first raid I'd expect Jack to head to exfill asap instead of thorough looting :)

[@gamervisuals]

he needs gear! and i'm also a loot goblin, haha

[@787]

Dude that intro was killer

[@predragpesic5953]

In case no one covered this yet... The blocky white artifacts that you have been seeing in the distance are trees at their lowest LOD (Level of Detail). LODs are used to optimize the game. So, when up close, something like a tree might have 50K polygons, along with the roots, the tree trunk and all the branches. But when being far away from the camera, that same tree will probably look like a single polygon with an alpha masked tree painted on it. Anyway, my guess is that the issue will go away if you increase the 'Object LOD Quality' from 2.5 to it's max setting.

[@audixas1]

It's actually caused by the De-clutterer mod. Might happen in vanilla too, I've never seen it tho.

[@JJonahJiraiya]

@@audixas1it is the declutter mod, had the “artifacting” just on the trees, then all of a sudden jumped into a raid and the whole map didn’t spawn except for about a 30 meter range, Scavs and PMCs just spawned in as basic block men or what was even funnier, the base hitboxes with points of reference at the joints. Uninstalled declutter and everything like that was fixed. Kind of sucks because running declutter the last couple of weeks allowed to me to run streets on 60+ frames.

[@SilverWolf-VR]

​@@JJonahJiraiya set the texture resolution to medium to get rid of the white box artifacts caused while using declutter

[@SolarGeneral]

The .300blk notifications are a glitch that an AI grabbed the wrong ammo in a magazine but for some reason it gives you the notification.

[@bpw102896]

Also they definitely have aimbot I get head shot constantly

[@akiranosome918]

idk if you figured it out already, but i have a strong urge to backseat so those bugged textures you were talking about, its caused by DeClutter mod and in order to fix it you have to change models/textures quality to medium in tarkov settings 😊

[@hollenfeuer1]

Declutterer is the reason for the white blobs

The enemy around 42:20 didn't look like it had armor, so I am at as much of a loss as you are about that with all of that blood coming out of him. Is that a boss thing? I don't know anything about bosses. Super weird.

[@cyber_xiii3786]

Someone else has probably mentioned it and/or you figured it out already, but I believe the white artifacts are from the Declutterer mod, you have to set your texture graphics setting to Medium for that to go away Oh LOL yeah you figured it out by the intro of ep. 2

[@croco263]

Set textures to medium it will fix declutterer issue with the trees

[@gamervisuals]

new update fixed it. still have high textures on too

[@audiosurfarchive]

Heya Gamer, maybe tweak the AI "random miss spotting" chance? It's like 3% normally but with Its Lit and moving stuff around, making PMCs more aggressive and but also having the increased miss spotting chance; it can make a much more immersive opportunity of enemies not immediately aimbotting you.

[@rollieroulston]

It's the declutter mod, or rather an old version of it, causing the white artifacts. Look in the comments section of the declutter mod for a user called bakahashi, he has a fork that I use that works perfectly

[@gamervisuals]

I just turned winter mode off and it fixed it, lol

[@Purplestain13]

SAIN has a dedicated option to discourage AI from aiming at your head, there's a new mod that redirects headshot damage to other body parts, supposedly the "dad gaming" mod has some way of dealing with headshots, SVM lets you straight up alter the health for each individual body part. Looots of options, I use a few at once myself just to be safe. Getting to tailor your experience is the shiiit.

so the artafactring is from winter mod if you really want winter you can go in to the config files and use the BSG snow / winter you need to go in to your aki data the server then configs then look for weather.json open with notepad ++ might even work with normal notepad and where it says "forceWinterEvent": make sure its set to true then you have winter without mods and its the one build in to the game

[@insomniacninjagaming3780]

dont know if youll reply to this, but do you have a custom mod load order? as some of the mods settings will interfere depending on when the spt server loads them at the beginning for instance setting bots to hard in SWAG and then having bot load in difficulty set to as online in SVM, means if SVM loads after Swag then the bots wont load in as hard.
