Alright, this game actually made me cry laughing, but not from anything scripted. You Got The Touch from the Transformers the Movie soundtrack started playing immediately after I maxed out my super jump height and began climbing a tower, and I hit the top right at the climax of the song. It was like the most perfect two minutes of any game I've played in a very long time.

This bug is kinda pissing me off. I've restarted from a checkpoint, restarted the mission, restarted the game, it's still happening. It's really, really annoying and I can't finish the He Lives mission.

As I said before, I can't disable the satellite. I've killed all the enemies in the area so I won't be shot, but the game only registers a couple of ticks on the meter before it resets to zero and replays the animation and restarts the thing. Then it ticks twice and restarts again...

Has anyone else had this bug?

I just got this game, and I am having a blast! However, I've run into a series of rather intractable crashes. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to them, but intermittently, program will just minimise, I will hear the sounds keep going for a few seconds, then the program stops working. I've tried updating (and rolling back) my drivers. I've updated windows, and I am still running into issues. Thankfully most missions are short enough that I get through them before I crash, but it is getting very tedious.

Have read one or two other reports of a similar issue occurring (this appears distinct from the plethora of "crashed on game start" complaints which may or may not have to do with :files:), but no one seems to have identified the source of the issue, or a fix.

Anyone here able to help?

Gonna redownload all the game files and see if that helps at all.

Edit for system specs:

Windows 7 (Fully updated)
Directx11
GTX 560Ti w/ 3.20 drivers (I tried the Beta drivers, no dice, so I rolled back)
Intel i5-3750k 3.4GHx

Never had any problems with that mission on PS3. Are you holding down the button until the meter is completely full? Maybe your controller is spazzing out? See if you can remap it to something else to see if it still happens?

Yeah what happens with me on AMD is that say like, I'll talk to David or Kinzie and right after the convo "ends" both my monitors will go grey with lines and i can't do poo poo till i tab out, upon which my computer tells me my driver crashed.

It will also do this sometimes when I'm in a menu buying powers.

It also goes black about halfway through a rift sidequest mission. If I leave it be, the game minimizes to the desktop and I can select the program and it acts as if it's in "front" and my cursor changes and there are sounds i'm hovering over buttons in the pause menu, but I can't see anything but the windows behind it. I can even click things and stuff but the screen is invisible. Alt tabbing does nothing and i have to force close it. I have no idea what the gently caress and it's making me mad.

I've got the same issue on PC. Tried keyboard with controller, controller and keyboard without controller.

It's definitely a bug with the game itself.

Enemies respawn faster than you'd think. Make sure you're not already being shot at again.

Also have you tried turning the console off and on again? (Seriously, this helps and no one knows why.)

Fixed for you.

The Dubstep gun was pretty much my solution to any problem. Gang members? Dubstep gun. Aliens? Dubstep gun. Enemy vehicles? Dubstep gun. Wardens? Dubstep gun. The Dubstep gun is amazing once it's fully upgraded.

Dual fire/lightning machine pistols are just unfair for killing pretty much everything. Fire blast followed by just spraying those in the general direction of enemies results in everything dying with almost as much fireworks as the dubstep gun. With max upgrades and ice blast wardens die before I have to down their shields a third time (unless I gently caress up that stupid rear end quicktime).

I'm looking forward to the inevitable mod that removes those stupid quicktime events.

I really love the game but Christ is it loving buggy, especially in co-op. I can handle quite a bit of smaller bug and jank, but it crashed(again) loading into the final mission and now all of my saves from the last ten or so hours from the past couple of days are all on the 'Emergency Situation' mission. Hopefully I can find a fix because I am really not motivated to play more than half of the game again to get back to where I was.

Seemed simple to me: Slap a goatee facial hair and eyepatch on your boss. Those are the rules for the Star Trek evil clones they aped. Bonus in that we might have gotten an eyepatch. I want a god drat eyepatch.

EDIT: There's a few segments. The first section is the glorified tutorial where you are getting ready to bust out of the simulation. The second part is getting the crew back together and getting them superpowers interspersed with activity missions (Go do Insurance Fraud. Now assassinate a dude. Do Virus Injection. Do Mayhem. Hack a store, etc etc etc). After that, the final missions are actually pretty numerous. Not like ME2 at all, really. I'd say you have about 3/5 of the game as beginning stuff and recruitment, and 2/5 of the game being the final missions. It's not 'recruit all your homies, give them superpowers, then teleport to Zinyak and kill him.'

Nope, "evil clone rules" state that there would be one eyepatch on the opposite side.

Yes. Or no eyepatch. Both are acceptable answers, really. And if you have a goatee, evil you is clean shaven. Thus it is implied that you are in fact the eviler of the two. :colbert:

Also, I costumed my boss a bit differently today to play co-op with a friend of mine. I also feel need to post this because everyone needs a picture superpunching Genki:

Finished the game, it was a fantastic ride, and i have a few questions:


- Did anything any become of CID's urge to date someone? I know at some point he bugs me for a date with Shaundai, and then it never seemed to be brought up again.
- I don't understand, so Matt Miller/Aisha apparently betrayed you only to find them inside a closet? Nothing seemed to come of that, and it is never brought up again.
- Then after keith david betrays you, it is never brought up again at all. Also in Keith davids nightmare, what was the deal with the dude in the kilt?
- Is there more then one ending?

1. It's just a running gag
2. Keith was the only traitor. The other two were just locked up in the closet.
3. I found that whole sequence a bit silly. Rowdy Roddy Piper (A WWF wrestler) and Keith David were both in a movie called They Live in the 80s and most of that mission is a reference to the film.
4. There are "three" 1 for the red door in Matt's rescue, one for beating the game without all loyalty missions done and the complete ending for having all loyalty missions finished.

Still no luck with that satellite bug and it's really annoying me. Tried restarting the game, tried reloading the mission/checkpoint, nothing fixes it. My game cannot progress in the plot past that point.

Did you somehow miss the mission where CID ditches you to go on a date with Fun Shaundi?

VVVV Which phase?

The part where you have to TK orbs into him is just that... Jump away when poo poo starts spawning on top of you.

Well

Run around like hell. That's what I did. There is a floor down there so it ain't a pit. Also it helps that you have unlimited super sprint. Basically just have breathing space and grab the CIDS before they reach you. Your TK grab has alot of range actually. I played this on hardcore, so I died a few times but I notice you do sorta regenerate some health if you stand still, but it could because of the checkpoints. That's all I can give man. Just run around like hell, freeze the goons to give yourself breathing room. But to be entirely accurate I had my freeze powers upgraded so they stood frozen enough for me throw CIDS back at Zinyak. When you go against Doombots, shoot them repeatedly in the head to kill them faster. They are goddamn bullet sponges when it comes to shooting their bodies.

Even after dropping to casual the CIDS just explode after I grab them with TK. It sounds like my game might be glitched?

Yeah. It should really be explained better, but outside the simulation you're still basically the SR3 boss. No superpowers, but regenerating health. The final boss boss becomes a fair bit easier once you realize this and put a little priority on evasion.
