Frequently Asked Questions

[GTB79]

• What makes KovaaK 2.0:The Meta different compared to alternatives?
  4,000+ scenarios, covering every aspect of aim training. Cloned weapon, target, and player movement physics. Constant love for the game.
  
  
• How do I track my progress?
  For the Trainer, your progress is tracked on the skill tree. You also get an update on your stats when you return to the trainer. Additionally, you can check out the stats section to see more info on your progress with the various weapons available.
  For the Sandbox, the game outputs stats files in csv format (under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FPSAimTrainer\FPSAimTrainer\stats\) every time a challenge is completed, and those stats files can be parsed by a community made tool[fat-dash.github.io] to view your score over time on different scenarios. We will be working to add similar functionality in-game too!
  
  
• Who created this game?
  It’s a team effort: KovaaK originally created the Sandbox as FPS Aim Trainer, then joined the team at The Meta to expand into guided training.
  
  
• Will KovaaK be available on anything other than Steam? Such as streaming platforms.
  Maybe someday. Stay tuned!
  
  
• What languages does KovaaK support?
  English only for now, but stay tuned for more down the line.
  
  
• What engine is Kovaak Built on?
  KovaaK is built using Unreal Engine 4, version 4.21.
  
  
• What are the system requirements?
  Minimum and Recommended system requirements can be seen on the Steam Store page.
  
  
• What is the best way to get in contact with the developers?
  The game’s Discord server[discord.gg] is the best place to find us!
  
  
• How can I create my own scenarios?
  Go here for the guide on how to create scenarios. We love scenario creators thank you all for your efforts!
  
  
• How do I get InterAccel to work in-game?
  A full guide to using InterAccel is available here[docs.google.com].
  
  
• Will KovaaK come out on consoles?
  KovaaK is planned to someday reach consoles. Stay tuned!
  
  
• Can I really improve my aim in any FPS game after training in Kovaak?
  Absolutely. Thousands of players, including top pros and streamers, have proven this.
  
  
• Will you implement other FPS game settings for KovaaK?
  Absolutely. Please feel free to make suggestions in our #feedback-and-suggestions channel in Discord[discord.gg].
  
  
• Will custom recoil patterns be added?
  Custom recoil patterns are built into weapon profiles, which are defined by scenario authors. In short, the people who create scenarios can choose to add those recoil patterns, but more often users recommend practicing aim without recoil and spread.
  
  
• Will we get controller support?
  Official support is coming, but until then, you can go here for a video that a user made to show how they set up their controller in KovaaK’s FPS Aim Trainer. The settings should be exactly the same in the Sandbox.
  
  
• Can I set a custom resolution?
  Sure thing - just head to Options.
  
  
• Game crashes/won't start
  The usual list of things I have people do to resolve these issues is:
  
  Try to validate data on Steam (right click game in library, properties, local files) just in case something was corrupted.
  Try running the game as administrator (some antivirus products mess with things and break it).
  Try installing a different graphics card driver version.
  
  
• How to remove bullet holes
  Go to Game Options -> Visuals -> and set "Decal Time" to 0
  
  
• File locations related to configuration
  If you want to restore your game to default configuration there are three locations where the game stores those files. Deleting any of the files is safe - the game will re-create them the next time you run it.
  
  %localappdata%\FPSAimTrainer\Saved\SaveGames\ has config.sav (most config settings), session.sav (the last scenario you played as well as a few minor config settings), and highscores.sav (a local copy of your high scores per-scenario).
  %localappdata%\FPSAimTrainer\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\ has input.ini which has your key bindings.
  <YourSteamLibrary>\SteamApps\common\FPSAimTrainer\FPSAimTrainer\Saved\SaveGames\ has weaponsettings.ini (which handles per-weapon configuration settings from the Game Options -> Weapons menu) and charactersettings.ini (which is the custom order of weapon slots from using the drag & drop hotbar).
  
  
• Can't move Crosshair (Antivirus Sandbox)
  There is a known issue with Comodo Antivirus (and perhaps others) where the game is sandboxed and prevented from accessing folders and privileges it needs to function properly. Either run the game as administrator or whitelist the game on your Antivirus' Sandbox.
  
  
• Creating new maps
  Maps in the FPS Aim Trainer use the same format that Reflex Arena uses - if you own Reflex, you can make maps that can be used in the FPS Aim Trainer too! This 10 minute video tutorial shows the basics of using the in-game editor. Note that some features of Reflex do not work in the Aim Trainer quite yet (such as teleporters, liquids, jump pads, and prefabs), but the basic geometry and spawns work exactly the same. After you've created a .map file, just copy it directly to <YourSteamLibrary>\SteamApps\common\FPSAimTrainer\FPSAimTrainer\maps\ and it will show up in the menus to play.
  
  One user, stral, also wrote up a guide on how to create maps without owning Reflex.
  
  
• Palette modifications
  The game's UI can be re-colored according to the contents of the palette.ini file contained in \SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\FPSAimTrainer\FPSAimTrainer\Saved\SaveGames\. Reddit use /u/Goatturtle wrote up a guide explaining the full process here.
  
  
  
• Game-specific sensitivity settings
  
  Overwatch
  
  Hipfire sensitivity can be directly entered into the game by going to Game Options -> Main, and setting sensitivity to the same number you use in Overwatch, then putting the sensitivity scale dropdown to "Overwatch".
  
  In order to get your zoom sensitivity to match, play a scenario where you can zoom in (such as Windowmaker Duel v2), then pause the game and go to Game Options -> Weapons -> "Spider Bullet" (the name of the weapon in your hotbar) and uncheck "Zoom Sens Auto-Scale". Below it, "Zoom Sens Multiplier" will appear, and you can type in whatever multiplier you want. If you use 38% in Overwatch, set it to 0.38 here, and it will match.
  
  Apex Legends
  
  Struth wrote up two excellent guides for how to get your Apex Legends ADS settings in the aim trainer. The first guide is a more detailed step-by-step guide[docs.google.com] if you are less familiar with the game's options, and the second is a short/brief one[docs.google.com] if you already have a sense of what you are doing.
  
  Rainbow Six Siege
  
  Cynadote made a useful video guide explaining the process of getting your R6S scoped sensitivity into the aim trainer, along with a calculator to automate the process[jscalc.io].
  
  Other Games
  
  In order to capture your sensitivity from other games, I recommend using sensitivity matcher script[www.kovaak.com]. The guidance on that link can easily be used for capturing your hipfire sensitivity and converting it to another known game, but you can also use it to figure out what your sensitivity is while you are zoomed in.
  
  Example: You could capture your Overwatch hipfire sensitivity and find that your increment is 0.033 (.033 degrees per pixel of mouse movement), then capture your Overwatch Widowmaker ADS sensitivity and find that your increment is 0.01254 (0.01254 degrees per pixel of mouse movement). Then 0.01254 ÷ 0.033 = 0.38. You would then enter 0.38 as your zoom sensitivity multiplier.
  
  
  
• What social media is KovaaK on?
  KovaaK is on Youtube, Twitter, and Twitch.[www.twitch.tv] The Meta’s social media team can be found on Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, [www.facebook.com] and Instagram.[www.instagram.com]

Hi, for the "You've killed: <bot name>" you can disable it in Settings -> UI, then look for Kill Text. As for loading the scenarios, you can change the scenario caching period up to 7 days max in the Settings.

Thanks :) I actually figured them both out just a minute ago :P , but the second one is temporary "solution". So I'm still interested in how can I disable it.

How can I find and download playlists created by other players?

Hello, try to refresh your online scenarios tab. When you pause the game, click on Online Scenarios, then just below it is a refresh icon (two arrows in a circle) click it then wait for it to load then check to see if the online scenarios are now visible.

You can create your own playlist base on other players' playlist. First, look for a playlist that you like then go to Local Playlist then click New Playlist. Now, copy the scenarios listed on the playlist that you like, save it. You may now proceed with playing on it.
