Want a better challenge than "bots either miss everything or headshot you from 300m"?
Find BotDifficulty in RavenfieldConfig.ini and change:
Bots_Spread_Multiplier=1.5
Bots_ReactionTime_Min=0.4
Bots_ReactionTime_Max=1.2
This makes suppression effective and stops aimbot nonsense.
One of the most annoying glitches in Build 16236248 is the audio channel culling. Jets and explosions randomly go silent because the build prioritizes footstep audio. ravenfield build 16236248 better
To fix audio and make it better:
This forces the build to reserve audio channels for weapons and jets rather than wind and grass. You will hear bullets whizzing past you again. Want a better challenge than "bots either miss
Before fixing the build, we must understand why it feels "worse" than previous versions. Build 16236248 introduced a new tick-rate system for ballistics and bot navigation. While this allows for 200+ bot battles, it also creates a CPU bottleneck.
The Core Issue: The build defaults to "High Precision" mode for every bot, even basic riflemen. This makes suppression effective and stops aimbot nonsense
How to make it better immediately:
Navigate to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\SteelRaven7\Ravenfield\Config and open GameUserSettings.ini. Look for BotUpdateRate=High. Change this to BotUpdateRate=Dynamic. This single fix improves FPS by roughly 30% in Build 16236248 without reducing visible bot count.
