Just spent another weekend playing this awesome game. Does anybody else put the Fury Road soundtrack on and then go after convoys? At the moment I'm alt-tabbing out to youtube and back but if there's a better way I'm all ears.

Pay actual money for an awesome soundtrack and put it on your phone and/or CD player?

Ohh here it comes, a mighty duster patch! Looks to be live on Steam at least.

Patch notes posted:

Welcome Wastelanders!

Patch 3 for Mad Max rolls in a number of improvements, including the “Vehicle Roll” option, which lets you enable more realistic in-air physics. (And, to create more incredible moments in Capture Mode!) In addition to this, there’s a number of general fixes, for both graphics and audio, along with a number of specific updates for 64-bit Windows users. Enjoy all the nitty gritty in the full patch notes, below.

General Updates for All Platforms:
  • Added optional “Vehicle roll” setting for more realistic in-air car physics.
  • General performance improvements
  • Improved data streaming, enabling content to load faster and easier.
  • Improved auto-aim target prioritization.
  • Fixed various audio issues.
  • Made various GUI fixes and improvements.
  • Fixed several instances of the map not loading correctly.
  • Made various mission flow fixes and improvements. This includes retroactively resolving a conditional mission flow blocker that was happening to some players trying to install the Baby Bars during the Wasteland Classic mission after the mission flow had been interrupted.
  • General bug fixes.
Win64 Specific Updates:
  • Fixed instances of graphics options resetting to default upon the game loading for some users.
  • Fixed an issue which caused the Harpoon to not work correctly on triple monitor setups, and with larger aspect ratios.
  • Fixed several keyboard entry issues with the WBPlay Menu screen.
  • Made several Mouse & Keyboard Control improvements and fixes.

It's still running fine for me, although there is a split-second hitch once in a while that I don't think was there before.

The patch does seem to have messed up the vignette, overlays etc. in capture mode for me, though; they leave parts of the screen uncovered at the top and bottom.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
Is there a way to see how much fuel is in a can other than using it?

I'm trying to get the last 2 balloons in the north west of pink eye territory and the fuel seems like a massive headache for them.

As far as I could tell, no way to see that.

Completed any death runs nearby? The fuel cans you get there are usually over half full. Store one in your opus. You only need to fill a balloon to like 40% to get it high enough to scan the area.

I always kept a fuel can in the Opus for those moments when I needed something like that and couldn't see one easily in the area. I think they all do have a can lying around somewhere but some of them are quite well tucked away.

If you ever need to refuel something, there is *always* a fuel can nearby. Also, if there is an insignia that needs shooting, there is *always* an ammo drop/thunderstick rack nearby. The game never makes you leave the area to find supplies that are essential for completing that area.

I always grabbed a can off one of Crow's spots and stowed it in the back of the car, comes in handy for the occasional explosive only door or that one balloon with almost no fuel around. Some of the more stingy balloon checkpoints you can use the little bit of momentum per burst and carefully rise up.

Unless you go in guns blazing and setting everything on fire, rarely will you find an encampment where you're struggling with resources unless you've been really trigger happy.

There is, but when I did it at one hot air balloon there wasn't enough fuel to fill it up enough. So I went and got one from nearby and that one was nearly empty too. Game be trollin'.

There really should have been a way to siphon gas from cars and less fuel cans around.

Would've been a "reward" for disabling enemy vehicles.

Also a nice source of tension when you're low on gas and trying to refuel and suddenly you spot a group of cars heading toward you over the horizon.

You only need to fill the balloon about halfway to reach the top.

There is one balloon in Pink Eye's territory that definitely did not have the fuel tanks around to fill it up. It had the one that didn't have enough to let it reach the required height. I also had to come back with my own fuel canister.

I'd have been perfectly happy if you could keep Tenderloin around and have her swap with Chum later to do what you're describing. No harpoons, no thunderpoons, no repairs, but infinite Thundersticks to make up for playing in hardmode :black101:

I've been thinking exactly the same thing. Maybe in a sequel, would go a long way to balancing the thunderpoon if it was safe to upgrade it for tough fights without it being a long range homing missile.

On PC, I found a spot outside of Jeet's (Over the bridge, hang a right, down the hill a ways) where the game hangs up for just a split second. That didn't happen before the patch, but it doesn't seem game breaking. I haven't rolled the car yet, though. Not for lack of trying.

Anyone know if the patch fixed the Havoc Point bug? I hit a roadblock trying to kill everyone, so figured I'd come back later after I'd gotten a few more upgrades, but when I went back the enemies wouldn't spawn anymore, hence the trigger to open up the base's gate never occurred.

It affects how your car reacts when you hit, say, the side of a cliff or hill at a funny angle. Turn the Helper off, and you'll be able to properly barrel roll the Opus and even land it on its roof. Leave it on, it plays exactly like it did before the patch.

What happens after its on its back? It's hard to imagine you get a game over screen or chum just deadlifts it onto the wheels...

From my experience, it just rolls itself back over. I managed to launch it at a real weird angle and land upside down, skidded on the roof for a few seconds, then tumbled back over rightside up. Not sure what would happen if you flipped over and came to a stop. Maybe something like GTA V's system, where you just hold in a direction to roll back over?

Ah yes of course. Add a new feature and make sure the way you make it work is to set it to off.

this is one of the most satisfying games i've ever played. I spend several hours playing metal gear and just don't feel like crawling around like an rear end in a top hat or trying to be quiet anymor and jumping into mad max and just going loving nuts beating up everyone and blowing things up feels so good.

This would be game of the year if it wasnt for poo poo like the witcher 3. I hope that more people play this game since it came out at a weird time.

I did a full reboot of the XB1 and haven't seen any perf issues since. Take a screenshot on the map and I'll see if I see any issues there.
