Hey, your game / system files may have gone corrupt due to a faulty update download or similar. Please try verifying the game files, if that does not help then perform a clean reinstall by replacing all game files (anticheat and config files as well). Further you can scan your system for corrupt/missing important OS files by using the DISM and SFC windows commands.

Been trying out the 1v1 training center:

  1. The 200 hitpoints does not feel good. Most weapons are balanced around 100 hitpoints, and doubling the required htk makes some weapons unusable (skorpion is a 20+ htk, crossbow a 2-4 htk, can't practice with a sidearm, and the TTK on shotguns is silly high). It feels silly how much you have to shoot an opponent before they drop. Even the M249 seems to take almost 40-50 rounds before someone dies...
  2. TPP means most players tend to just hide in cover until the timer runs out or take the occasional opportunity on a pushing player.
  3. You can take in two panserfaust, but with the double health it doesn't seem to matter much
  4. It takes a long time to get into matches with other players, I don't know how feasible it would be to have multiple arenas in the future, but that'd be really nice!
  5. Sometimes I am unable to use the throwables wheel. It will come up, but the dial does not. This can shift between rounds whether it works normally or not.

*I do like the feedback of the grenade timer, but it really sticks out against the rest of the UI design. I don't know if you could integrate it with the trajectory line (color change?), but I think it'd benefit from some love.

*Still sad there's no option to practice with all sidearms in TDM :(

*Vikendi needs the DP28 please

Thank you for sharing your feedback sir!

How to disable the orange/brownish glow effect?

After the update, settings only allow you to change between glow and pulse. Before you could disable it entirely.

The setting you are looking for is Highlight recommended ammo/equipment.

We are aware with an issue associated with this feature that causes it to get re-enabled after you restart / relaunch the game and have reported it internally.

Very happy to see Vikendi coming back!

About the granade timer, I don't like it. Mostly because it clutters up the UI. Other than that I don't care about it.

Thanks for the feedback Vafan, appreciate it.

What if you don't want glow or pulse effect on loot? Why can't I have it the way it was before? Why is this horrible orange glow forced on everyone?

Every ammo stack looks like 9mm. And if there's multiple items they get hidden in the glow.

This is a bug that was hotfixed a few hours ago. Selecting the "glow" effect in the loot flash effect setting will get rid of the orange glow.

Its not that, I don't want either of the glow or pulse effect. Which this latest update forces one on you regardless of your settings.

Pulse/Glow setting has been, untouched, in the game for several years now. Pulse was added in update 6.3 and it can be disabled by selecting the glow option which removes the orange color and shows the default item glow effect which is yellow-ish.

The bug which caused both pulse and glow flash effects to glow in bright orange color has been resolved through a hotfix a few hours ago.
