I can't even see it in the 'installed games' list on my Steam anymore. Tuesday can't get here fast enough!

Sucks that Tuesday is the release date. Even if I had the money, I wouldn't have the time due to schoolwork. Certainly an odd day to release a highly anticipated game, even for early access. :v:

But... Wait, are you being facetious? Releases are ALWAYS Tuesday but since that's ninety-nine-out-of-one-hundred the case I figure you're kidding. Right? RIGHT!? :shepicide:

Yeah, that's what I meant. I don't want to replace the awesome music that's already there, I'd like to add my tracks to the playlist, just like a GTA custom radio or something.

A thousand million times this. I've spent the past week thinking about songs I'd play while playing but I want them to stop when I get to the trader, etc. Without alt-tabbing or using the lovely Steam player there isn't a lot I can do for that.

To be slightly Master Racist for a second, I wonder if it is just because PC gamers are spoilt for choice anymore with so many indie/pc exclusive games getting pushed out for us compared to console releases. I know I didn't stop playing titan fall because it got boring, I stopped because something new came out

Part of it is console parity. I don't know if Titanfall had it but with Evolve the PC has to wait for a console patch even though there is literally no reason to and it's a factor in 2K killing it. The inverse of this is Payday 2 in which PC users got more content than they could ever want and the console versions were pretty much the same as launch for half a year or maybe a whole year or possibly to this day, I don't know.


Regardless, the way I see it is that if you're aiming for relative parity use the PC players as a testing bed before getting cert'd for the console patches. Our patches aren't 40k per patch or whatever exorbitant sum was reported. We're far more grumpy about late patches than those peasants! :pcgaming:

Even better is that no one EVER puts up a sign preemptively, so someone did it.


srsly: NUMBER ONE FEATURE REQUEST: Make a GTA-esque custom tracks folder so I can have the game automatically, smoothly, and FITTINGLY, start and stop some Meshuggah, Animals As Leaders, Baroness, etc. tracks to kill to. With options to play only my tracks, only defaults, or random.

Also please make a separate folder for between-round music so sometimes it'll play Skullmonkeys' Bonus Room song while I'm at the trader.

Seriously, this I want more than more perks/weapons/levels/features.

The only freezes/stutters I get are when I buy a new commando weapon for the first time in a match or maybe lauch of the game. When I leave the trader and it automatically switches there's a half-second stutter and then it resumes. That's it, I don't get any others in the game.

After a couple rounds I sometimes get this odd bug where disco flashes start throwing about. It's not the card overheating/failing because it happens in a way that suggests it is the engine that has the issue. The lights that pop in for a sec can have any color of the rainbow and will properly reflect off whatever they are shining on. This is on a r9 270 with an 2500K.

May not be overheating but that is DEFINITELY gpu artifacting. Latest drivers, etc.?

Even if you don't count, he yells each heal about a new attack or after three, "NOW YOU SHALL SEE MY TRUE FORM!" Also his color/lighting indicates the phase, not overall damage. Especially nice because the small touches like sparks and blood leaking are lost in the action.

Maybe make his glow/lighting a completely new color when he's invul/85% so he had a tell. Bright blue or gold or something. Maybe even make shots visibly bounce off? I'm not certain how you can effectively communicate visually, "Your shots aren't doing much right now."

As for fighting him, I do find him fun enough when you get a team that knows what's up. He has set patterns and such and he CAN get you but smart play can leap from the jaws of death at the last harrowing second too. I still maintain he was balanced for levels 8-15 on normal. That seems to be the sweet spot of a 50-50 win rate.

The worst part of zed movement is that right now zeds will just magically fly 3 feet up to walk on top of railings, which is frustrating as gently caress when it causes you to miss (which is pretty much every time it happens since headshots are important). It'd be nice if that could be fixed.

I seem to remember this in the first but it's been a while so I may be lying. Either way, I like it and I feel like it wouldn't be KF without it. :v:

I haven't played since the week they put in the the nVidia FLEX stuff. Played today with some friends and it's weird but it seems like they turned off the blood/vomit liquid effects. There are still organs/intestines but there's no more jelly blood and I miss that a lot. Have they indeed turned them off or should I delete my ini or something?

Leave his current melee damage at X but split it into Y+Z=X.

His melee charge opens with him throwing a syring at his target full of poison. Their screen has an effect so they know they've been poisoned and they glow green or something so teammates know it too. A side effect of the poison is a TON of adrenaline (to help aid the spread to your extremities! :pseudo:) and so you now run as fast as Hans. The poison quickly DoT's you for Y damage and if he catches you he hits for Z, totalling his current X. Since the targeted player now moves as fast as Hans they should have a guaranteed escape from the melee damage provided they don't get caught on geometry or catch trash or do a bad turn. It also fulfils the idea of forcing players into a moving fight. Mainly though it makes his super lethal attack a skill-based mitigation that is a relatively low skill. Can you run? Good, you shouldn't die.

He probably quit before that was the case. For a while Overkill was only pandering to their elite customers. But now, yeah, I have people who almost exclusively can't click heads and they're still holding their own. I will play a game with two other people who aren't great at it and literally I will not help just gently caress around and we STILL beat the heist on overkill difficulty.

I think what he meant is any time the player is not moving (ironsights or no) they get a bonus. Not a bonus for time stood still, just a flat playermovement=0 bonus=500000000 or something. I could easily be wrong but that's how I read it.
