I have encountered a possibly game breaking bug. On the Russian hub mission where I infiltrate the trainyard there is a bit where I hack a computer to send details somewhere. After the details are sent enemies spawn and open two garage doors and try and kill me. Well they were highly successful in killing me and when I reloaded I encountered the lovely recurring bug of enemies disappearing. Unfortunatly I needed them to open the two garage doors which are now closed trapping me in the small room. Because of the nature of the savegames I can't reload, as the auto-save is inside the room. Any help?

GO gently caress YOURSELF posted:Out of curiosity, would you be interested in returning to Obsidian to work on a new project with them or would you not want to go back? Can I answer "both"? Obsidian is one of the few companies that makes the kind of games I want to make. On the other hand, the external reasons it didn't work out for me there are still (mostly) there. Additionally, as much as I love southern California I'd like to try getting a job abroad. I hear terrible things about working for CCP but I wouldn't mind a few years in Iceland. Also Montreal sounds basically incredible even though I'd need to learn French.

StealthArcher posted:Don't know, I will admit that it is a laptop and 3.5 years old, but christ I can the Witcher 2 with Ubersampling better than this. This is either bullshit or something is deeply deeply wrong. AP uses UE3, same as mass effect and gears of war. It's not that advanced. Witcher 2 ubersampling destroys *god's* laptop.

RBA Starblade posted:I was wearing stealth gear. I know I have a sound stat, but I thought "silent running" when activated muffled all of it. Does aiming your gun or doing anything in cover make noise? "Silent running" has a misleading name. Non-crouched movement is "running" and the hold-the-button-down-to-go-faster type is "sprinting". The latter breaks silent running, but the former is ok. Even if you only tap sprint for a second, it cancels the silent running effect completely.

I could swear I've used Silent Running to sprint all around a room and stab like 4 dudes in the neck before. ed:\/\/\/I've only got the first level of it, I only bought Stealth up to Passive Awareness. I could just be totally wrong or somehow was fast enough to stab all those dudes before they could react Pharmaskittle fucked around with this message at 07:09 on Sep 27, 2011 |

GloomMouse posted:Turn off Motion Blur Jesus Christ how the gently caress did that. I just went from a jittery bugged shitfest running anywhere between 5-15 FPS with lag and mouse jumping out the rear end to a smooth 90 FPS with no lag. I still have the problems with the mouse constantly jumping ahead of my movements, but drat, this is at least loving playable. Goddamn Sega, worst MB shader coding ever. EDIT: Sometimes I'm too used to Facepunch and the benevolent automerge.

404notfound posted:Wait, what? I'm pretty sure the game uses UE3, which is significantly more taxing (and better looking) than UE2, which UT2k4 utilized. drat : That just makes me sort of depressed on while the graphics are okay, they seem a little short on other games that have used UE3 like arkham asylum or borderlands (although that might be stretching a little) that were in the same period of time.E:oh yeah, mass effect.

Delacroix posted:drat I am not an expert on renderers and all that other stuff, it's way way above my head. But if I could offer a guess, it would be that AP was in development for much much longer than most people realize, and also actually *finished* a year before it was released. So it's actually an older game than it seems.

Picked this up 2 days ago despite not having the $2 it cost me. I guess I'm not eating one of my meals this month?  I'm finding this game does not want to perform well. Mouse movement feels REALLY inconsistent(sometimes it moves super fast, sometimes agonizingly slow), and it seems to just decide sometimes to take a crap in terms of FPS. Might some of this be because I'm playing windowed? Also, right now it mostly looks like rear end, despite being on maxed settings. I'm forcing myself to get over it, but going through the original Deus Ex at the same time plus this is sapping my usual whorishness.

If you have an x-box controller then I'd recommend you switch to that. It cleared a lot of control and smoothness issues that I had the first time I played the game. Also check the OP for .ini tweaks and turn off motion blur as suggested earlier on this page.

Just finished this game last night. Holy poo poo, what an amazing game. I was originally unable to play it because of mouse issues, but got it running on my laptop and... yeah. This is the best game that's come out in years and simply blows DXHR out the water with its believable characters, conversation system and the consequenses of your actions and choices. In other games, choices typically just mean getting a few points in something or another. In AP the whole game is shaped by your choices. There needs to be more games like this. Already planning another playthrough to see some of the things I missed.

It seems everyone plays in character and goes bourne or archer, stealthy spy agent, which is exactly why they need to go shotgun rear end in a top hat who makes people spill their wodka.

I played the professional dude who tried to be stealthy but kept an assault rifle handy in case someone spotted me. Sort of a 'get the job done' guy, so for instance (Rome spoiler) I let Maddison die and (Endgame spoiler) executed Scarlet after finding out her real job. On the other hand I never killed anyone unless I felt it necessary, meaning I always used nonlethal takedowns and let most of the bosses live. Next time (Rome spoiler), I am so doing what's required to kill Marburg. gently caress that guy.

Hah, there's some real headstratcher decisions made in this game. In one of the levels I just finished there's no checkpoint for 2/3 mission objectives. I literally had to start from the beginning each failiure. And then within the span of a minute there's 3 checkpoints for going up a ladder, going down a ladder, and walking 5 feet into a room. Still loving it though!

On the plus side, I'm really enjoying the dialogue options and interactions. It's funny how awkward suave ends up being.

I didn't know about the sprint button until I fought Marburg at the end of Rome, which was the final pre-endgame mission I had to do... It probably would have made getting away from Brayko's coke rage significantly easier...

Comte de Saint-Germain posted:Can I answer "both"? This is late, but knowing French isn't even close to a requirement to living in Montreal. Ottawa is more francophone than Montreal. Edit: That's just anecdotal from people I know that attended McGill/work there, I only visit occasionally and my conversational French has been more than enough. Different employers may have different requirements. Another Edit: I imagine a certain Montreal studio would be looking to expand after the success of Deus Ex, follow your dreams, man!
