Can someone walk me through the process for installing that SweetFX injection from the OP? I tried it and clearly hosed something up somehow as my game looks the same both with and without it.

Should be pretty straightforward. Extract the files into a folder. Choose "Film Grain" or "No Film Grain", and copy/paste everything from that into your game folder(where the .exe file is)

Made some final edits to the SweetFX preset, for whoever wants to use it. You can make any necessary adjustments to the .txt file. Put this in the "SweetFX" folder Be sure to rename the file to "SweetFx_Settings.txt".

I've got the 2 project parts for the Oil Well Pump at Jeet's stronghold. It says "return to stronghold, and I do that, and it still says "return to stronghold" I tried wandering around and seeing if I needed to talk to Jeet or something, to no avail.

What am I doing wrong?

You need to use those parts to build the thing in the base. Look for a ghost image that's now blue and you can make it.

The oil well in Jeets is near the top of the stairs to the right of where you spawn in.

I just smashed the steam shortcut for a screenshot as this struck me as humorous, but scrappin' aint easy! I had to hop out mid electrical storm, because I had about one pixel of health and the car was severely jacked up. Time to guzzle a canteen while Chum earns those black fingers. I kinda wish I'd taken the time to frame this with our piece of scrap just off camera, and thus out of reach. lightning blew it apart :smith: Still made about 600 in the storm, I guess.

Yeah the concrete ones. If you walk towards the back area above your car it should be near the railing to your right.

we're all mad here

I just had the main truck of a convoy destroy itself and severely damage the rest of the convoy and I was nowhere near it. I was parked and looting a scavenging site at the time, got the message that a convoy was destroyed and my scrap crew was picking things up, then all these damaged escort vehicles start turning up. One ram apiece finished them off, then I found the hood ornament a little further down the track in what seemed to be a safe and easily navigable area. No idea what happened, but I'll take the credit, I guess.

You need to progress the story a bit before they will show up. There will be a cutscene when you get to that point showing you the ghost projects.

Really hope this game gets love and attention as far as DLC goes, just too much loving potential. I'd love a new game plus that was a little more shadow of morderish, where factions fight it out way more often over the territory and bases with significant back and forth, where you can work with a faction and their crew to play kingmaker while building up loyalty amongst their crew and pull a coup at some point, with faction leaders themselves being replaceable. That might be bordering on an entirely new game though.

Hell multiplayer in this game would be the funniest, griefeist poo poo ever. Stick 64 players on a server, let them pick their faction between Gastown, Roadkill or Independent and let them go nuts.

Do factions currently fight it out at all? I've gotten Buzzards and one of the other factions into the same room and they've only been interested in trying to murder me.

This game is so much fun. I really like the convoy chases. Those escorts are really good at doing the Pit maneuver. It's fun to tear through the escorts, harpooning them and ramming them off cliffs "HONKHOOOOOoooooonkkkk *boom*" having cars spinning out and pinballing into each other. So many epic moments:

-Drop kicking a sniper off a ledge

-Warboy getting stuck on the windshield and twitching every time I ram a vehicle.

-Doing a sick nitro boosted jump, harpooning a scarecrow in mind air and tearing it loose.

- Whipping a harpooned car into another car and blowing both of them up.

This sentiment does annoy me a bit. I have 110 megabit down and 5 up, on Telstra cable. I get 500GB a month for 100$. This isnt even the NBN which is even more capable. Australian Internet is just fine and I get good pings even on servers in Europe and the US. I did used to live in Adelaide and sure, it's mostly just a tangled mess of copper and poor fuckers on ADSL with shithouse speeds, Perth sucks pretty hard too. But Melbourne and Sydney (where the vast majority of Australians actually live) has the first world infrastructure you'd expect. Adelaide is just a million people, in the city.. most of the rest of SA is literally a loving wasteland. Head out to the peninsula and it's not too far off from what you're seeing in this game. Of course the Internet is poo poo.. it's impressive they've got running water and refrigerated food.

But Melbourne is a modern, high tech metropolis and so is Sydney. The US apparently has a lot of 'dark fiber', as in they ran a shitload of optics to the point a lot of it isn't even being used. They're 300 million, we're not even 30 million people.

We'll always have quotas because we have to leverage expensive overseas links so much, but as I said when I'm getting 500GB at NBN speeds for $100 a month (including the home phone).. Australia's Internet is pretty drat good now.

I downloaded Mad Max in literally 15 minutes.

They give you refills on various things when you visit that base (on a timer though). Just explore the bases and look closely at the transparent things, those are the projects. You can walk up to them and hold down a button to make the locations of the parts appear on the map.

Zeike posted:

Honestly those things seem drat near useless, for best anti-boarder defense the flamethrower car attachment works better (and is far more amusing to boot). I do have to give the spikes credit for decorating options, harpooning a War Boy resulted in him sticking to the car in what was undoubtedly excellent wasteland chic.

Making pretty good progress thus far, though I'm screwing around more than following the main quest line. My earlier issues with car combat have been alleviated thanks to harpoon upgrades to pull off tires (and giving Chumbucket a loving rocket launcher); I still have issues with ramming worth a drat but I can usually blast/crash enough to break armor then yank tires off. I swear I wind up on the side of the road waiting on Chum with every convoy, but I've at least beaten a lot of the ones in the early areas now. Might try the Death Droppa and see how mines work, though gently caress the race to unlock the thing. There are just too many drat cars spawning in, especially from the front. The idea is probably to blow them up, but trying to get around cars coming at your face in a narrow road is an exercise in frustration with an at best average speed/handling car with no boost, and they never stop swarming. If you can get them behind you the results are at least quite profitable assuming you have the crew project to pick up scrap, but in my experience there were always a few of the bastards who never got hit and always pulled up in their faster cars and sideswiped me off the road which had crippling results considering I was racing in a rather slow car with terrible off-road speed and handling. Did well enough to unlock, but forget that drat Griffa token, can get a million of those things elsewhere. Not sure I want to try the flame cars if they have a similar "kill tons of enemies while trying to race in a slowish vehicle" thing going with their races. The exploding buggy race was awkward since my instinct to hit the nitro kept making me bail out and lose, but at least that was a race with a fast car.

I have a 20 gb onpeak and 40gb offpeak download cap. $80 a month, and the next package up is somethinge like 100/200gb but I'd never get that used and is like $120 a month . This is the best internet I can get where I am because that's the best the lines here can provide and we won't have the NBN until the middle of next year. Maybe.
