I don’t see the fail, what he says is true.. it is possible to damage hardware with mods, but is not that easy (at least that you’re a retard) to do it unintentionally. In fact, is not the first time that some mods overheat the GPU.

Well, what can I say… I bow to your superior mind. Btw the screenshots from the post above have been taken on patch 0.8.11. so way to go WG, thats how you fix stuff.
Oh wait, they did not fix anything because for them zoom-in mod is not an issue, so pls… get your facts straight :) WG did not adress this issue in the last patch nor the patch before that.

It’s a standard bureaucratic tech support statement common in the industry. Nothing new here.

I have seen “mods” that o affect the configuration of hardware to “optimize’ game play experience. I wouldn’t call them “mods” per se, but they are often included in most popular of modpacks. Theoretically, it is plausible for them to affect the hardware they change config of. (in a way similar to where you can use video card fan settings software to fry your vc).

You didn’t use a zoom mod lately, did you? the issue of bushes being removed was fixed one or two game versions ago(by wg or the mod developer i don’t know). The only bushes that disappear are those very close that would also do when just using your standard zoom.

I’m Using Meltymap’s sight with 2,4,8,16,24,32 and 45x zoom everything above 45 is overkill since the guns are loosing precison over distance even 32x is too much for any gun with a dispersion above ~3.8.

Lol, failure to software yes if the mod has virus, but to hardware, fuck no. Plan BS littel flat heads.

The hardware works just fine even if the software (aka BIOS) doesnt.

What you are saying is equal to claiming a carengine is automatically destroyed just because you fill the tank with the wrong fuel.

Oh I see now. So basically the bush sprite size does not scale with the non-standard zoom. Hm… should be fixable by manualy enlarging them though, not that I’d know how.

To be fair, I am sure some mods could in fact cause serious issues. It is completely laughable to suggest all mods should be avoided, but it would be naive to assume mods are safe by definition.
