World's finest snatch.
SweetFX hosed my audio, sound like 2 channels aren't coming through. :/

I can't see how to uninstall this, am I being dumb?

Edit : Urgh this sucks, I removed all the files it installed, but I'm missing engine noise and "booms" :(

After I fire weapons the last 'hiss' of the noise stays untill I go into the menu. Seriously, this hosed my game. Steam says the cache is fine, so I guess I'm redownloading?

Cute but fanged

Also an excellent example of wasteland chic, though the dirty jokes just write themselves with the guy stuck to the back end with his hips wiggling frantically. I've only had two odd bugs; in one I think my shift key got "stuck on" somehow when I was running on foot, causing the cars to be stuck in place because that was the same key for the hand brake, and every so often the engine noise cuts out, which while it admittedly kills half the fun of the driving, is oddly soothing and meditative. Also proves they did a lot of sound design; the tires make different noises on different terrain.

Also found out Chum can get shot by the snipers; saw a round hit him dead center of his back and he gave off an "OW!" type yell. Fortunately as part of his car worship he must have implanted metal under his skin or something since he didn't do any more than that; he's tougher than Max is, I guess.

Oh jesus, the loving jiggle :lol:

So, is anyone else hoping either someone makes a mod or Avalanche releases DLC that adds repeatable convoy battles to the postgame? I know storywise it wouldn't make much sense, but I'd love something to the effect of randomly spawning convoys on the various routes that you could go fight for fun and scrap. Just some sort of "Hey, you've beat the game, now convoys will spawn randomly on the various routes you cleared, go fight them if you want I guess" type of thing.

Well poo poo... Is there anyway to invert the mouse Y axis? It's backwards from an FPS. I like my Joystick inverted but not the mouse.

Edit: Fixed it, in settings.ini there's a separate option for invert mouse that you can set to =0

The screenshot tool really seems to be the most innovative thing about the game (and makes me want it in every game), and it's amazingly smart of them to make it as cool as it is - it makes it super easy to show off the game, and it's fun to mess around with by itself. Doesn't hurt that the game is pretty drat well optimized and runs really well at high settings on my mediocre card.

its ripped straight from shadow of mordor, like alot of other stuff in this game

which is good, cause shadow of mordor was a cool game :)

This is the strangest thing. Haven't experienced anything quite like this, but I have been experiencing missing audio bugs with the Jimmy Bar which existed in the vanilla game for me.

EDIT: I've also found that disabling Bloom in the settings.ini does a good bit to alleviate brightness issues.

Why is Chumbucket so scared of those tiny tornadoes but says almost nothing when a storm is coming in? He yells all the time about THE MIGHTY DUSTER which I don't think can even kill me with how weak it is.

Also is getting the V8 endgame? Should I get it before clearing out Pink Eye and Gutgash's areas totally?

once you get the v8 theres 3 or maybe 4 missions left and you can probably do them in like 45 minutes if you burn straight through them

After a while I wanted something beefier than the final tier of the V6, so I did all the gastown quests until I got it. There are quite a few, and I had completed Jeet and Gutgash 100% and had reduced Pink Eye's threat down to about 2 before I gave in. It's not especially "Endgame" as Pink Eye threat levels unlock higher levels of the V8, so the game is assuming you're going to be using it for her area. Don't hold off, it's definetly worth the investment. I'd call the basic V8 more of a halfway point. Unlock it and carry on GOTTA CLEAN THAT MAP-ping.

I'm near the end of the game and will probably reduce threat down to 0 in all the areas and fully upgrade the bases and my car, but I'm not gonna go through all the scrap locations and balloons. Awesome game but I'd love if they kept the wasteland populated, it always seems to be a big problem with these games where by the end you have all these shiny toys and upgrades but the world is competely empty of opposition which always makes me sad. Mad Max at least ensures there's occasional patrols from Roadkill and Buzzards, but when I see the "Scrotus' patrols no longer have a presence here" messages I feel a bit sad.

Convoy battles are easily my favourite part of the game and I'd love if I could keep their routes populated for some drop-in carnage when the game's over.

I did have a weird issue where the game didn't quite understand that the state of the world had changed. I completed a mission and that seemed to fix it because a ton of updates happened at once. Had to relaunch the game afterwards to ensure no further funkiness, though.

I like that they included a Dog in the gameplay, but clearing minefields is so boring I'm putting it off until last. It just isn't fun having to take a different vehicle to play Marco Polo.

And I also agree that it would be nice is there were more potential adversaries to deal with even if the threat level went down. I really like the Cleanup Crew ability, since it saves a lot of time. But after you get it at Jeet's you're probably already moved on to Gutgash or Pinkeye (plus you have to get it for them as well. Aside from being completionist, I don't really see the need to have more than one Water/Fuel/Food project total either- you can just get Jeet's fortress to 100%, fast travel there to stock up, then return.

I feel the same..that's why I wish there was a New Game+ or something similar..I used a weird bug with Jeet's territory not acknowledging I'd de-mined all the territories as a convenient excuse to restart a new save..I just right now have one more transfer camp in Gutgash's territory before I go back up and save Pink Eye and get the lighties to get the V8.

I wish this was forever long.

Same issue as above, I think. Trigger a cutscene and it should get fixed.

It's still lowered, just not announced. I got garage upgrades when I ticked a level.

I just finished immortal enemy and woke up as a blood leech Is there supposed to a be a quest marker so I can find Hope? Some guides say I need to have completed 3 wasteland missions and 2 upgrades for deep Friah, which I definitely have done - unless I need to do those wasteland missions NOW?

Edit: ugh, nevermind. I had to go check on the car first, obviously! So much time running around the underbelly.

Don't! Just use the Thunderpoon and fire at the ground. The mines are always set in a triangle pattern, so once you find the first, the others are easy to find. And the Thunderpoon AoE is big enough you'll usually find them soon enough.

Can never go wrong with health, the melee upgrades are helpful and extra water, scrap and health from food are a good idea, whereas the invest a griifa point to gain a level is a bit of a dopey choice.

Guys, how do you use the shiv? It says when someone is stunned you can knife him, and I haven't been able to pick up any more shivs because it says my ammo belt is full. But I have yet to figure out how to use them. Along the same lines, I added some melee combat skills like shoulder ram, but I haven't figured those out either. I am a dumb.

I am using an x360 controller on PC.

Stun enemies, press A to shiv them. Also, if you highlight the skills in the skill menu, you can hit Y or X I think to view info on how to do them.

I think Shivs are only usable when in Fury Mode. It's a quick kill option or whatever.

At least that's how I think it's done. Seems like it when I do it.

I think this is a MIGHTY DUSTER that somehow isn't visible. I had a disconcerting moment today after I'd killed about six war boys, as I was looking in a side room there was a music sting and thinking some more guys had shown up I ran back out. Instead there was a huge pile of body parts and blood splatter, and just as I was lining Max up for some serial killer screenshots I was picked up and pinwheeled off a cliff :(

Even the bugs are :perfect:
