Everything in life is improved by chucking a flare somewhere downfield before you do the thing. But taking an anchor especially

They definitely work on any "grabbing" type anomaly, they love that poo poo and seemed to me to go for flares over anything else. It might be purely in my mind but I felt like flares had some even further general distracting influence too yeah

Also if you hit an Abductor with your flare it instantly starts making angry noises and starts flinging the flare around. It's kinda cute

Yeah most stuff that moves will go for flares instead of you if there's one around. You can drive right under abductors and they'll totally ignore you if there's a nearby flare for them to play with instead. Stuff that doesn't specifically aim for you I think will ignore flares and just keep doing what it was always doing.

I grabbed an anchor and geysers opened up, one of them immediately beside the door to the car delaying my attempt to feed it the anchor and requiring me to attempt to drop it, run around, get in the car, move it enough to get in, go back around the car and pick up the anchor. The resulting scene would best be described via Benny Hill episodes involving bunnies attaching themselves to the car and taking the shifter out of park, my car briefly in a tree, myself flying through the air multiple times, and a deathstar of flares in every direction to distract tourists.

The geyser didn't pop up under the car, it was outside the door and slinging me around every time I tried to be cute and time it to sneak past then Yakety Sax started up.

Extracting from more and more junctions will eventually unlock highways that usually mean you only have to do one or two inner zone steps to reach mid zone. I didn't complete the map but I don't think you ever get to skip the outer zone entirely

It depends what zones you've already explored - if you've got a highway zone you haven't been to yet (the ones with the shield shaped icon), you should go there first because they unlock more direct routes deeper into the zone.

I have had items thrown at me out of nowhere multiple times. Almost every time its when I am in the middle of nowhere with nothing around and I get out to repair a tire or something, then I suddenly get pelted with a repair goo or a stable core. I've noticed I hear a lot of bush rustling before and after it happens so maybe related?

Unlocking highways is super important because one garage update you get lets you skip highway junctions. So once you've got like 3 connected highways you can go straight to the deep zone without stopping on the way. I'm not sure I'd actually advise this because you may wind up in a junction with a greater leave cost than it has available cores and you'd be stuck. But you can definitely skip quite a few on the way! Another reason I wish the game was paced slower. I'm trying to explore the entire map but there's really no need to except for its own sake, I'm swimming in every material but Olympium and Red Balloons, and the latter is used for like, two upgrades and then never again, it seems. Kyte posted:Anyone else got issues with the game's diegetic UIs (Fabrication station, Tinker station, dashboard, etc)? They play really badly with TAA and especially High-or-lower DLSS, even at ultra high DLSS transitions are super smeary. Only way to solve it from what I've seen is to turn off TAA & DLSS completely, but that's not exactly ideal. I already tried updating the DLL.

I put off that upgrade indefinitely because I thought it would just let you skip the "straight line" junctions in the middle of the highway, which seemed like mostly a downside considering how much really easy loot they had

Finally got to the point where I feel chill enough in the earlier zones along a route to listen to podcasts while looting, and it definitely helps make those early zones feel a bit less like a chore and more like a chance to chill if I don't want to go straight to the intense stuff. Though at the same time, with the amount of basic resources I have the only thing these zones really are giving me at this point is the klim energy from grabbing the anchors. I also am p sure I will never want to take off my "eject whatever is grabbing you" bumper, it's just so nice to have, but it is also getting more and more fragile relative to the rest of my increasingly upgraded car.

My unlocks and gear progression is really lopsided. Feels like they should rework how going out for resource runs should work because half the time I just run to a given zone, loot what I can and just abandon run because you basically keep everything you loot (on default, obviously if you set it to the harder "lose everything" you don't). Most of the time I just lose some prybars. I will say that finding the thermosap gems is really annoying and I'm kinda stuck trying to find some. I probably play way too timid. I've also not really made anything from the outfitting station, just the larger backpack. I should probably do that.

I may be hallucinating ( ) but I think you do get more materials of all types deeper in the zone - this is relevant because you need loving asstons of fabric, and I found scrounging for it in the outer areas really sloggish relative to how much I was usingOf course, going exploring normal buildings deeper in the zone is a bit hair raising so there's that

Bhodi posted:it's an injection without native VR so char movement is handled however it is in the game, either kb+mouse or the keys on your controllers operating like a gamepad. there's no teleport or VR-like interaction. I don't really get VR sick so I can't speak to how unsettling it is but basically GUI is a hovering overlay which you can set to be fixed to your head or where you're pointing, there's a lot of customization options. I believe the "direction" of forward movement can be bound to where you're pointing with the controller, and I think you can bind the tools to them as well if you want. I don't get VR sick, I assume this is UEVR and I have some questions about your setup. Moving my mouse vs my head causes drift, while I might turn my head to look at something that doesn't seem to center my mouse on that thing so I need to go wild moving the mouse/my head around for it to work. Similarly, I think there's some UI elements that might not be rendering right? Just curious of some quick setup tips you might have since other than the initial mouse/interaction stuff being broken it was awesome driving around like that. edit: Found the profile someone made for it and yea, I keep getting some UI drift, some of the UI elements don't seem to render just right, and the real annoyance is just managing the pitch lock on the mouse vs using the rotation to select things. It's certainly neat, but man this game could use native VR support. Atoramos fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Feb 29, 2024 |

Vib Rib posted:Yes, extremely. It's so bad I was talking to a friend about it and they said they thought it was intentional, like an artifact of old monitors that would get display burn-in. It's caused by DLSS almost entirely, TAA has no real impact there with DLSS off. It streaks and blurs so badly. I got this with every digital display in Cyberpunk 2077, too. Alright thanks, at least it's not just me. I did compare and TAA does have a tiny effect (if you set it to FXAA it is a perfect snap, TAA has a very slight blend) but yeah it's DLSS (High or lower) that makes it unacceptably smeared. DLSS Ultra High makes it acceptable, but it's still not great.
