Well, thing is, I tried importing my mods from NMM into this Vortex thing and it looked like it worked, but it crashes my game when trying to launch. Went back to NMM for now and I think I can add the mod I'm missing manually, but should I try and troubleshoot Vortex, or is it just not worth the effort just for W3?

There may be issues related to mod order and scripting conflicts. Witcher 3 can be modded, but it doesn't really go out of its way to make it easy on you, so making sure you really have everything exactly the same would be important in this case. Otherwise, Vortex doesn't really do anything all that different from NMM under the hood, I think? Some weirdness with mod installation folders, you might want to try setting that to something different.

There are tools for Witcher 3 mod merging, you might want to try running one of those.

Anyone in here played the Atelier series? What's the best one to start with?

e: From my research it seems to be Sophie due to being cheap + no time limit, but heck, what's the goon-sensus?

People in the RPG thread recommended Atelier Iris to me as good for people who are new to the series and maybe want the gameplay over the anime plot. Haven't gotten around to playing it yet, but it sounded like a good fit and it can be emulated on PC because it's a PS2 game.

The English audio is that bad?

No, it is perfectly fine, although the French accents are hilariously fake-sounding and the voice actors sometimes forget they are supposed to do them in the middle of a sentence.

But, you know, fake accent voice-acting. That's just how it is.

I wish the new steam client wasn't so slow. I don't know if it is just because I own a lot of games or if it is the client itself being poorly optimized or what but it can take upwards of a minute for the client to update and let me interact with it and search/scroll/etc. It wasn't a problem with the old version

When I hard-close the Steam client and start it back up again, the entire thing takes 15 seconds to go from double-clicking the icon to displaying the library. I think you might benefit from reinstalling the client or checking the performance options in the settings. This isn't supposed to be taking that long.

In some cases, load hitching can be an issue with asset streaming from the HD, but that's fairly rare and most modern games already use an asset streaming method for those "zero loading screens" types of levels that minimizes this as far as possible. When a major game has hitching like that, it's nearly always an optimization issue that you can't really do anything about on your end. Fallen Order in particular has occasional small stutters and freezes on any video of it I've seen so far, so that's really nothing to do with your system in particular.

I bought an 8bit do USB adapter to use my Wii U Pro controllers and Switch Pro controller with my PC. It worked flawlessly for months, until this morning. Now none of my controllers will work with any game. By all accounts I connect a controller to the USB adapter successfully, but in game it's like the controller doesn't exist. I've tried both Wii U Pros and my Switch Pro. Any ideas what's wrong?

And Windows recognizes it correctly? As in, you get the little pop-up saying "[Controller] connected"? Try going to your device manager and manually deleting it while connected, disconnect, restart and reconnect. If it's a driver issue, that normally fixes the problem. If it isn't a driver issue, then I'm not sure what to do either.

I get the USB connected sound effect when I plug in the adapter, but I can't find anything that might be a game controller in Device Manager.

Well, in my case, for example, it looks like this:

Excuse the German. You see that long numeric code in the detail windows? That's how you can confirm that a given entry is actually the controller you are looking for. If it doesn't even appear under that "Devices and Printers" menu in your system settings, then it might be fried and your OS doesn't even recognize it anymore.

I played the original Kingdom, lasted about an hour before I gave up on it. I didn't care for how little control you have over things. Your AI minions are stupid and will eventually be your downfall because they can't follow orders or make correct decisions.

New Lands appears to be that same game with some additional visual flourish and maybe more features, I dunno. There's also Kingdom: Two Crowns which came out in 2018 - which also appears to be, again, largely the same game.

They're basically all the same game with some differences in level layouts. The lack of control isn't as painful as it sounds once you figure out how to maximize your gains, which mostly involves carefully not expanding past certain points.

It's possible that it's the HDD controller that's bad; remove the drive and plug it into a computer, or put it in a different enclosure. This won't work on encrypted models. If that doesn't work you can try the freezer trick (google it) but your data is probably lost

MyPassport drives are natively encrypted. On the plus side, the encryption is apparently so crap that if you can get it to a hardware lab that does data recovery from damages drives, you can get it out of there anyway, even without the passport or whatever hardware characteristic elements there are to the encryption itself.

Only problem is that this kind of thing is majorly expensive.

So I tried uninstalling and reinstalling steam and I thought that it worked but after redownloading some games, the same problems came back. I tried doing this stuff too but it didn't seem to do anything, though I tried making a .cfg and ended up with a .txt that is called steam.cfg so that might be part of the issue if it isn't actually checking that file. I had to remove the -no-browser thing too because the steam library page would tell me it couldn't display anything due to that being enabled. So now I'm back to steam taking upwards of a minute just to realize I'm no longer running a game and that I want to switch to playing another game. I'm not really sure what is going on, all I know for sure is that it wasn't like this before it forced me to update to the new interface. The old interface was fast, never had this problem, and I could always view the library just fine. Now, everything is just so slow and it is almost like different parts of the interface are running at different speeds, like it will recognize if I'm hovering over a button and I can click and open certain things like drop down menus, but anything related to starting, closing, or switching to another game is incredibly lagged.

Under Steam/Settings/Library there is a selection of performance options. Try toggling on No Community Content, Low Performance Mode and Low Bandwith mode. I'm hoping that helps at least a little.

Bioshock 1 and 2 are also decent option. They have shooting, but it isn't too precise and your magic slug powers make up for it whenever you are having difficulty with the shooter parts. Hell, you can go through those games with nothing but a wrench and melee everything to death. Not that they're easy, necessarily, but they're good at being as difficult as you want them to be.

Multiplayer shooters almost always have stupid high skill differences between veterans and new players, because the type of person who plays them often also plays them almost to the exclusion of anything else. If you want a quick and easy recommendation for a multiplayer shooter where you won't get dominated by the no-lifers, I don't think there is one.

Maybe try co-op shooters instead. Left4Dead, if that is still a thing.

Honestly, I can see why publishers sell OSTs separately. The average video game OST is completely forgettable even when it's good, because establishing the game's atmosphere and then fading into the background is what they're for, on the most basic level. If they offered them as free downloads, the vast majority of people interested in the game probably still wouldn't ever bother with it. They're not really something you just listen to as music for most people, so they might as well squeeze a few extra dollars out of the few people who care.

There's really only a bare handful of games that I think have original soundtracks that are really good and interesting enough that they'd be worth listening to just by themselves and I was pretty alright with paying for those, because something like the Revengeance OST is basically a legitimate album in its own right.

For a while in the 2000�s a decent stick of RAM was basically something you�d find in a box of cracker jacks. Then the price spiked a few years ago, but the 32 GB I slapped in my laptop cost me like... 60-80 bucks last summer? 2 bucks a gig still kind of blows my mind.

RAM prices have always been pretty cyclical, but since 2011, East Asia has been getting hit by a bunch of environmental catastrophes such as floodings and earthquakes that have hit the high-tech industry particularly hard and made the high points of those cycles much higher they usually are. Manufacturers were just not capable of fulfilling the demands at the usual price points for articles where the stock ran out. Currently, the RAM price per megabyte is about the cheapest it has ever been, though.

Commander Keene posted:

Steam recognizes DS4 and Switch Pro Controllers by itself, and you can add other programs/games to your Steam Library and run them through Steam to skip having to run third-party software to get the controller to work, AFAIK.

You might not even need to do that. Steam habitually hijacks my 360 controller whenever it is running and starts doing poo poo like making me control the mouse with it even though I really very much don't want it to. Going by that experience, it is likely that Steam would just make them usable for whatever if you try using them on a computer that has the client active.

On the other end of that spectrum, I am having no end of trouble using my recently purchased Steam controller (which is equal parts a massive pain to use and really, really good when it does work right) with any game that it not natively part of Steam because manually hitching it up to Steam will still not let me control my Steam Controller settings properly even though Steam claims that this should be all it takes to make the Steam Overlay apply to a game and allow the unique functions of the Steam Controller to work. If you are really unlucky and it turns out that Steam does not hijack DS4 controller the way it does my 360 and you actually need to launch the game through Steam first, then it might turn out that is not enough to make a non-Steam game work properly with it.

Long story short, trying to use a non-360 controller is kind of a crapshot no matter how you approach it. If you have the choice and want to play games Steam does not natively support with it, I would recommend just getting something else.

If you give your game away for free, five people will buy it. Seems right.

Well, if not giving your game away for free means no people buy it, I guess you still come out ahead in that deal.

But yeah, at the ultra low end of indie gaming, where exposure is everything because you have literally no budget for marketing or advertisement at all, this is legitimately something that can make you more popular, as in, more people will actually know about you because a lot of :filez:

types will download everything they can simply because it's there.

That means that, in this case,people who otherwise would have given no fucks at all about the game even if they had ever seen it on Steam actually got to try it right away and a few liked it so much that they decided to spend money on it. It's rare, but it actually does happen.

I think one case where the stunt legitimately worked was with Darkwood, which appears to have a pretty decent number of buyers from the amount of Steam reviews. It does help that Darkwood is an excellent game, though.

Well, it won't help you much if people download your game just to find that actually, there probably a good reason why nobody was willing you money for it. That's certainly true.

I think what jars people is that the tone in RE7 isn't consistent. There are extended stretches where nothing is funny or goofy and you are expected to be engaging seriously with the characters.

I mean, I wouldn't disagree with that? This isn't actually wrong. On the other hand, if that bothers someone, maybe Resident Evil as a series just isn't for them, because horror interspersed with occasional moments of levity and humor is just what Resident Evil does. At first more unintentionally, maybe, but then very definitely by design.

Does it become more or less anime/camp from OG RE1 voice acting to current era RE voice acting?

Minimally less. Like, the Jill Sandwich like is still in the game, just with less broken English.

No Wave posted:

The word camp doesnt mean much these days.... but my understanding of it involved exaggerated, over the top reactions which RE doesnt have, RE is more people mostly downplaying the seriousness/craziness of what's going on (the claire Leon interactions in RE2Remake being the best example).

If "secret weapon time" and "chew on that, you overgrown son of a bitch" aren't campy, I'm not really sure I know what the word means. RE2make is incredibly cheesy.

It wasn't even really a bad way to play DS1, considering it was the first PC port that From ever made. With DSfix on top, there's really nothing wrong with it at all. They've managed fine with every port since.

I don't know how much more technically complicated Bloodborne is, though.

Except the 60fps durability thing in DS2 which went unfixed for a long time and the bonfire crashes in DS3

Yeah, but all things considered, those are pretty minor issues that don't all affect everyone equally and the games are otherwise pretty stable and well-ported. Personally, I didn't ever get those bonfire crashes at all, for example. If you compare that to something like Monster Hunter World where just getting it to run at all can feel like voodoo magic, I don't really have any complaints.

DQ Builders 2 is definitely way more engrossing than I would've thought it would be and than its reviews make it sound. For some reason, the journalists decided they really hated that game, but I'm really not sure why.

It's not an allergy so much as it is a fatigue. There's so many big open world games with meaningless checklists to fill that it's easy to burn out on them as a concept if you don't carefully pick which ones to play.

Honestly, I like having an open world. I really do. It makes any game feel more like a place and less like a game to me, which is often something I really enjoy. I still really agree with your sentiment, though. Far too many open world games just have tons and tons of empty space and repetitive "activities" for the sake of having them, without making any of it really interesting at all. At that point, it just becomes a chore.

Cardiovorax: Jun 5, 2011; I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

Yeah, 4K can't really be compared to 1080p. It requires four times the GPU performance for the same framerate, roughly. A 1080 can handle 4K, but not at max settings.

The 1660 is pretty much the best you can currently get on a price/performance ratio, so that's a solid recommendation. You're likely to get at least a 60-70% performance increase out of that.
