There's 1 reason I can think of that could make this happen.

If you have a high FR on a map, you receive high Activity and Popularity ratings on a map. If you were to have a FR of say 20 with 1 hr and then play for an other hour letting your FR drop to 1, your Activity and Popularity for that map could drop A LOT. BT looks at the average (for as much as I know) so that drop would have to be quite substantial to have an effect (or you'd have to be on the edge), so I don't know if there really is a high probability of this changing something.

I think the reason your new headphones' ambient and gunfire is too loud is because of the headphones' own integrated sound chip. While x-Fi has SVM (don't remember what it stands for) in the drivers, which pretty much cuts down the maximum noise when there's a lot of it, but I'm guessing your p531 doesn't have that option (or you haven't enabled it). Since the p531 has its own sound chip, it doesn't go through your x-Fi card and the options you use there don't make any difference.

And I don't know anything about modern/good headphones.

I used to have Medusas as well, but Spanky said they're crap (pretty much). I believe him, but I don't have money for an amp + good pair of headphones anyway.

I'd be wiling to help

Then just add the line "AmbientSoundScaling=0.800000". It should be there, no idea why it's not in your case.

I second this. when you look from the other way the steam from the floor vents disappear as well.  It acts like that bottom window in blue building in Mout Mckenna.  The one that looks out towards church/alpha alley.  Most of you may know what Im talking about.  If it causes too much trouble then you might as well delete it. 

I tried looking at the map again and still no bullet holes for me. I can shoot through glass and throw grenades through glass without them breaking. Its like the glass isnt even there.

I had all the bullet holes I fired... no problem there for me.

As for the windows, for me they don't break either. You can actually even walk through them (not only the windows, but the posts between them as well) when crouched.

This thread is from 3 years ago, is all the information still up to date?

Or you could just install Assist to a reasonable place, that is NOT in the AppData folder.

What Melin was saying about Square:
You join a Square server. You're alone. You suddenly switch teams in the middle of the round(if you do this, AA will end the round saying "Apposing forces eliminated" and swap you to the other side). Now in a normal map, you would get no points, but in Square, you get 120 points every time you do this. It doesn't happen when you do objective (in fact you don't even get goal points for each objective), only if the opposing forces is eliminated.
For example even if you're 1 on 1 on Square, doing objectives will give you no points at all, but killing the enemy will result in 120 goal points every time.

I hope you can now understand what Merlin was trying to say.
