  1. edit: forgot to mention about the Grineer Metal-Riot-Shield users, if you're using Excalibur, then using Slash Dash when they're close will almost always kill them outright since the hit will be from the side or back where the shield offers no protection.

    It's called Shield Lancer, the most annoying-and-relatively easy to found Grineer...

    If you use Mag, just do the Pull. They'll be bare naked with it.

    If you're not using Excalibur, or just doesn't want to spend some energy (stingy...), just try to shoot its leg. It's kinda hard (BIG CLUNKY SHIELD, WIIiiiitth tiny bitty legs), but if you get used to it, it'll be handy (for me at least). After get shot a few times in their legs, as usual they will get stunned, and for a brief out of their shield protection. Just quickly finish it, or for the sake of ammo conserving, aim for the head.

    If you get used to shoot it legs, maybe you'll be able to shoot directly at its head (the tiny bright green stubs above its shield). I still have a difficulty to do so, but hey, sometimes it does work.

    And if you stand on a level above them, you can actually see the whole body behind the shield, so just finish 'em quick.

    Or if you get some puncture mods, USE IT. It'll goes right through the shield.

    Meleeing 'em is not recommended, because they can stun you with their shield. If you decided to do it, do it with a caution and ready to MASH DA' BUTTON~

  2. Sorry for the helluva quotes...

    Sorry but I mentioned my settings and background programs in previous posts already.

    Defragging/ cleaning doesn't matter. since i just formatted the pc a month ago.

    And I have 4GB RAM.

    The only programs i run are skype, steam avg and the game itself that's it. game booster didn't work for me, no difference.

    No, I meant the whole list. There are a lot of crappy process/services that maybe not too essential to run, but still hogging memory/CPU thread...

    It doesn't matter if you have 4 GB of RAM if you still caching some important core files to HDD, because it will still impact the speed of the data processing, moreover with an intense disk reading programs like games...

    If you haven't disabled the driver and Windows core paging, you should do it; as you may already know, RAM speed is way faster than HDD. less HDD accessing = more HDD lifespan = more speed!

    But then again, maybe it was only a myth, although it does work on my system.

    Everything is up to date :) i study IT so i know about drivers etc. i always make sure my drivers are up-to-date.

    :) Nice!

    I hope my friends would do the same. They were always nagging me, asking "why is my computer so slow?" without checking it first...

    So the system is still fresh... Hm... That shouldn't be a problem...

    Did you download the driver from :

    http://sites.amd.com...on_win7-64.aspx

    (dated 17th Jan, AMD's latest driver pack, but not always containing drivers for old cards. Maybe? Even my HD 6730 can't use this one because it doesn't have the right driver for it. Currently I used the driver from 12.9 beta version, because the the ones from 12.10 is faulty, at least for my card. It always gives blank screen.)

    or this one :

    http://support.amd.c...iw-vista64.aspx

    (dated 21st Jan, searched through AMD site for HD 4xxx series. They said that "AMD has moved to the AMD Radeon™ HD 4000, AMD Radeon HD 3000, and AMD Radeon HD 2000 Series new driver support model. These updates will focus on resolving application specific issues and critical updates." Huh.)

    Both of it using the same pack version/rev. number, 13.1, but containing a different version of driver, OpenCL, and Catalyst.

    Do you install the driver directly from your downloaded driver pack or using the CD provided by your GPU factory, then install your downloaded driver pack? Just maybe though it happens to have the same problem as mine...

    Try revert to previous version of the driver pack, maybe it'll have a different result.

    Sorry again for the long post. :)

  3. How about chipset drivers? are they up-to-date? Sometimes it helps to update them too, not just the Gfx card drivers.

    Yep, in fact, you should update ALL your driver. Just in case though, because there is some cases of old driver(s) that caused a conflict within a system, that may lead to a degraded overall performance. Oh, and your motherboard's BIOS too (and GPU firmware, if available). But please, do the flashing carefully, because it may lead to a complete board replacement if the flashing is interrupted...

  4. Could you lists what settings you used in-game and on AMD Catalyst, and also running background program through task manager (preferrably screenshot)?

    How about the usual step (*cough*myths*cough*), like defragging, cleaning+defragging the registry, uninstalling crappy programs, disabling startup system hogger?

    Do you disabled the driver and core paging (less HDD access)?

  5. Hello, just asking a simple question;

    What is the best rifle for casual gameplay?

    and with casual gameplay, I meant for non-specific, overall OK for hitting all types of enemy.

    Considering that there are elemental, AP mods, and puncture mods (God, I hate those Shield Lancer... Wait, puncture mods does shoot through that shield right?), it's easy to customize it to suit any enemy... I think?

    I can't familiarize myself with shotguns. Dunno why, but I'm sucks with it.

    Thanks before guys...
