Ground Branch Event - New update! 22/12/2020 19.00 UTC

We are once again hosting a Ground Branch event!
A new update is out since last time we played, so it has some new, fun stuff.

To start it off easy we'll do some deathmatch/last man standing to warm up. Then we'll do team elimination for the main event.
Some kit requirements for the teams, we'll explain it at the event. Nothing fancy. :)

Deathmatch warmup: 19.00 UTC
Last man standing: 19.10 UTC
Team Elminitation: 19.30 UTC

There will be a mixture of maps, especially looking forward to try out the new maps: Creek and the updated paintball map

Sign up here: https://www.rustyinplaces.org/pages/events

Hope to see you there!

There are some issues with low VOIP sounds and problems with people not hearing VOIP. Here are some tips to get it all working.

First of all, when you join the server, and at map change, spam V (local voice) and B (radio voice) while talking. Alternate between the two, and make sure it works. It's a good habit of having a comms check after joining the server or at mapchange.

Second, make sure your in game settings for voice is at 100%. See picture below
Another tip is to lower your "sfx" settings a bit (between 30-80%), to make voice easier to hear.

When that is set click shift + tab to open the Steam overlay. Then open your friends list and click the cogwheel in the top right.
Navigate to the "voice" tab, and drag the "volume input/gain" and "volume output/gain" sliders all the way to max. See pictures below.
GB uses Steam voice for VOIP, that is why these can effect it.
