Crunch

You cant build a server period without players. You certainly cant entice people to want to get WL when 10 people are playing in it. We tried forcing people to play in East for 5 months just going off applications of people with 30 days or more in East. Almost all the apps we got from players that either left years ago or months ago felt that was more of a punishment then anything, due to them leaving this community do to the state of East. Gun play consistently, same players in and out of bans, lack of RP from some and other issues forced alot of players to leave. Asking them to go back into East for 30 days was just silly. Even during closed times most of these people were not active or even apart of Brooklyn, still East is down bad. Opening WL isnt something that is forever, we are building a player base of new players daily, players that never been to east at all, players that wouldnt go play in East to begin with as they came from communities and servers that are competitive to the West. Instead of people posting pictures of Brooklyn from 2020, why not get in game? No one is going to join a server with no one in it, regardless if thats east or west. Stop posting about how it was and get in game so others can see and they will start to follow. You cant RP by yourself, same reason we were forced to open west to get new players to try it out. So sorry you feel this way, we are not forcing you to play in the West, no one can make you do something you dont want to. Gather the people posting pictures and videos and get them in game. We have updated and have been adding more stuff, most all these people havent even seen yet. Also, we have had a total of 7 bans over 45 days in west, no serious issues and the RP has been extremely good. Maybe its luck, maybe people just want something different. But being open these few days is a chance to give players and opportunity to try it out and apps have increased. These are not East coast players and these are players we would have never attracted before. East dying but not as fast is a crazy statement. So we wait till its totally dead before doing something different? No sorry that wouldnt work at all. For me its not about east or west, its BCRP the community im trying to keep alive.

Appreciate the post and I 100% agree with you, no one wants to let East die, things are being added and changed.. But here is the issue, even before West was a thing. Many servers are very similar to the West and have a lot more to offer than the East. Players have been leaving this community to try other servers that offer more and its no surprise. East is struggling because its built on a 7 year old framework that would take lots of work to get up to par with the other 3,000 servers on fiveM. Comparing East back in the day, it was much more competitive to other servers on what was offered in other communities, FiveM didn't have 3k servers to choose from, and they didn't have 2k developers working on one specific framework either. So East was strong, unique, and competitive to other servers during that time. But a lot has changed, players leave for one reason or another, players get banned, then take 5-10 friends elsewhere.. These are things we cannot control. If the West didnt exist atm, the East would still continue to bleed players, most of the players on West are people that were either going elsewhere due to the lack of new things or because of how players treated other players in east. Disagreements with how things are run, like PD, or gun play is non-stop.. People are just sick of the same old crap each day and no matter how hard staff works to clean it up, the negative effect is banning a person that broke the rules, then have 5 of their friends leave cause they got banned. Its a never-ending cycle, till only a few are left in the server. West only exists because people were sick of dealing with stuff like that, it was much easier to write all the wrongs on a new framework that offered more and can continue to be competitive with the other 3k server out here. I see all these people talking about make East great again. Well, sorry to say no script is going to do that, but I can tell you a much quicker and simpler way, if all the people were screaming about it and posting about it and writing about it in general chat. If all those people actually got on East coast? That would be a start. No script, no Dev, no Owner can make East great again by themselves, you need PLAYERS, thats all, then thats a start to turning it around. Even if West stayed closed as its been for 3 days straight, East seen 12 people at one point, 2 people currently. Most of the people in West atm either havent been in East in a long time or left the community months ago, some years and only now playing in the West. So I wish we had an easy way to get both servers running like old times, but alot has changed and alot of new communities exist and people look for new things unfortunately. We either do nothing and dye slowly, or try and offer something different to have this community stand a chance and thats all we are doing atm.. Sorry writing from my phone I can hardly see atm. But no one has given up, The devs are working on stuff, we have made changes, but no matter how many changes are made you need players to get in game not just post pictures of how it use to be.

Scrolling around the web I came across this tutorial, credits to whoever originally wrote it up, im not certain, but this has made a tremendous difference in gaming online, night and day performance difference in FiveM. Regardless if you play in either of our servers, East Coast / West Coast, PC performance will be extremely better! - Issue Description - Some of you know or have had issues with the user interface lagging at times even when your game is running smoothly. This is highly annoying especially for LEO players or other jobs that use the MDT, it can be unbearable. But regardless, has disadvantages for all persons suffering from this issue while other persons who are not. Example: You have to bandage yourself after a shootout but bleed out and "die" due to UI lag while others survive because they don't suffer the problem The main issue is high GPU usage with it sitting at 99% at all times. The main cause could be usage of a visual mod like NVE or QuantV or your PC is a potato. Currently FIX 2 is for NVIDIA GPUs only. - Fix 1 - One way you can maybe solve this issue is to: 1) Start FiveM. 2) click on the COG wheel at the top left to go to settings. 3) Click the box labeled NUI in-process GPU. https://imgur.com/hhg7ScV 4) Restart FiveM. - Fix 2 - (fix 1 may also be included with fix 2) 1) Open the NVIDIA Control Panel. https://imgur.com/sXPBlqQ Make sure you are in Manage 3D Settings and click on Program Settings. https://imgur.com/nGZOadm 2) Click ADD and search for the following in the picture: (I recommend starting up FiveM and run around in a server for a minute) 3) Once all of these are added select them in the drop down menu to select the program. 4) When you have one selected go to the Settings for this program section and search for Max Frame Rate. - set all of the programs to 60 or higher within reason and click apply or it will not save. https://imgur.com/AUeBqe9 5) Once all programs are set to the desired frame rate start FiveM press F8, click on overlays and click Draw Performance - use this to monitor your GPU usage (second to last box) if it well below 99% then it worked. repeat step 5 to hide the performance UI For AMD GPUs try just limiting your FPS to 60 and see if this works no fix for AMD atm. Enable/Unlock all CPU Cores for Windows: NOTE: works for BOTH: AMD/INTEL 1. Watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWfajZ7Lr5M.]

In the last meeting we talked about balance, yes some cars are just extremely too fast while others that should be faster, are extremely slow for what they are. So hoping at some point soon an easy solution will be a type of governor enabled and I will explain why..... When we add cars, they are tested stock and then with simple upgrades like engine and such. We don't test with a tuner chip because its based on users experience. Unfortunately ways exist to manipulate the ratios and settings to make certain cars fast as shit (not our intention at all) We feel the best way to combat this is installing a governor system, so regardless if a car tuned normally can get to 180-200, someone capable and experienced with manipulating its speed based on the tune, still wont be able to get the car faster then the speed its limited or intended to. No matter what car it is in game, if its exceeding those speeds? It was never supposed to be that fast. If we had a list of cars that were able to break these speeds or cars that should be doing these speeds, simply provide it here or to me, staff and we will see to it this gets done quickly.

This next restart Zonda is now comparable in speed to i8 and P1 in speed. I think it looks way nicer as well, but. Anyway enjoy.

replaced next restart

I will look into it

Clothes are hard especially when the server has been established all this time. Toss in one jacket, changes everyone's clothes across the board. Adding things without doing it right will change the slots and move existing outfits for everyone. Im not against adding more clothes, but this is something that needs to be done by someone with experience with eup. Its not just tossing in the files, its putting them in and replacing stuff not used or cared for like some dumb GTA shit. We will see what happens. Thank you for the suggestions!

done

This is possible in 2.0, unfortunately not available in the current server atm, maybe in the future though.

Better late than never! Not sure how this thread got by me all this time, but going over these suggestions, just wanted to say, the changes have been made, hopefully you can still hear after this long lol. Sound changes -G63 AMG 6x6 -2015 Shelby Mustang -Charger SRT Demon Enjoy!

Not really sure what's broken? Where was the report sent for the Bentley? Do you think we purposely dodge fixing cars to just piss you off? No dude relax, no one is avoiding fixing a car that has an issue. Its about how its reported, getting the time to sit and do it and the severity compared to other things we have to pay attention to that are more important at the time. We dont add something and not care.

So first, no one replaced the chrome with white, that sounds more like a bad texture issue after downsizing the overall model size. I just replaced the model, looks much better now. I also replaced the C32 Benz model with tunable parts version, handling was adjusted a bit as well. Both live next restart.

I actually like that and think maybe its something that should be considered. Thanks

For sure, and I agree. ie. Like A bank robbery goes off, we certainly don't want the entire police force chasing 3 people. The issue is, stuff like this dont need to be instant, to chase a car for 50 minutes and have the entire department using multiple vehicles, helicopters, boats, calling in help,, just seems more dangerous than putting boots on the ground and investigating, infiltrating and going deeper then just a 14 car chase cause 3 people stole 250k from a bank.. Use the system, time is on your side, this would bring so much more RP then a criminal cursing you out about how OP the situation was while you are jailing him... Put out BOLOs, issue warrants if need be, if they get away today, fine, try and find them tomorrow.
