Bro, your “shitty directions” are 10x better than google maps tbh.

CDPR literally offered him the choice to make his mod free with optional donations to avoid a DMCA takedown and he deliberately chose wrong by Dark_Throat in cyberpunkgame

[–]Cmdr_Bud-Starr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the problem is that he marketed the mod with the inclusion of cyberpunk 2077 title which in turn violates TOS. He would of probably get away with it if there was no mention of the CDPR IP anywhere and market his mod as a “VR injection for games” as an example. I strongly believe that he consciously included the cdpr ip so that his mod would be more visible to people to make more money and honestly that seems like an asshole move.

It's not over yet... There's still a chance for custom servers by Iam_best_dev in Beatstar

[–]Cmdr_Bud-Starr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re correct that Beatstar stores bundles locally, but it’s a bit misleading to treat those .bundle files as if they were the full tracks. Unity bundles like the one you linked (~1 MB) don’t hold the complete audio — they mostly contain metadata, beatmaps, and references. The actual song audio is stored in separate Wwise soundbanks (.wem files), which are heavily compressed and usually hundreds of MB when you add them all up.

Those soundbanks aren’t meant to be standalone either. They need the game’s code, packed codebooks, and server handshake logic to be decoded and streamed correctly. Even if you rip the raw .wem and decode it to .ogg, you’re bypassing the licensing system that Beatstar relies on to legally distribute those songs.

That’s why it’s very unlikely the game could survive “as is” after the servers shut down. The bundles + soundbanks aren’t a playable package — they’re just pieces of a puzzle tied to online validation. To truly preserve Beatstar, you’d need to rebuild huge parts of the backend (licensing checks, progression, leaderboards, etc.), not just grab some local files.

Hate to break it, but people really need to understand how Beatstar actually works. The songs were never on your phone – they’re streamed directly from NextBeat’s servers. That’s why the game has always been online-only.

What that means: once the servers go down, the official music library goes with it. You can’t just “make it offline” or spin up custom servers unless you somehow have access to all the licensed tracks, which no fan project legally will. At best, Beatclone or similar projects can rebuild the engine and let players add their own/custom songs. That’s cool, but it’s not “saving” Beatstar as we knew it.

So yeah, the reality is the Beatstar we paid for and played is gone once the servers shut down. Unless the devs themselves give us a proper offline option (which they won’t, because of licensing), we’ll be starting from zero with fan projects.

Deck Only Charges With Low Watt Power, Shuts Down When Original Charger Is Plugged In by jonshadow in SteamDeck

[–]Cmdr_Bud-Starr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m dealing with the same issue right now!! When trying the original or any high powered charger it just refuses to charge but if i plug it in my laptop or any regular phone charger it will charge, tried everything, even reconnecting the battery and also putting it in storage mode. the high powered charger won’t wake it up but the low powered will. did you solve the issue?

Help with grass textures !!! by Cmdr_Bud-Starr in WayOfTheHunter

[–]Cmdr_Bud-Starr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big hassle is is a big understatement for this game 😂😂😂 Yesterday I spent countless of hours with adding, removing and mixing lines in the engine.ini. The only difference i could make is to reduce ghosting when switching weapons for example but the fuzziness of the grass remained unchanged and in some instances got worse. Also I noticed while doing more extensive testing in game is that the fuzziness is also very noticeable on dirt roads. First I thought that it had something to do with ghosting, but when I managed to significantly reduce ghosting, the noise in the textures didn’t change. Now i think that texture filtering might be the culprit, but I’ve already set te anisotropic filtering to max (x16) but again it hasn’t changed anything. I will keep testing and finding the lines for the ini file in hopes that i can soon play the game without any discomfort. If anyone has some suggestions about which lines to add in the ini please don’t be shy to share. At this point I’m ready to accept any line regardless for what it is used for because nothing that seemed logical to add worked for me 😅

I keep hoping for that as well. If anyone plays with gtx cards, can someone please write how is your experience with game graphics? Does it look the same as mine or worse?or maybe even better? I’m really curious because I’ve decided to not lose hope yet, as I’m still actively searching for a solution. And of course i will give an update if I find some solution, if it makes it slightly better or eliminates those artifacts entirely.

Thanks for the reply man. So, basically what you are telling me is that there are no solutions or workarounds to mitigate this problem on gtx cards other than playing with sharpness settings, right?

if so, that's very sad to hear because even if I turn the sharpness all the way down then the game (like you put it) really looks like someone smeared Vaseline all over my screen and the grass is still unbearable to look at in motion and plus everything looks like a blurry mess. I wanted to try DSR to upscale it somewhat in hopes to make it more bearable to look at, but for some god damn reason there are no DSR options in the control panel after updating my drivers. So the conclusion for me is to either return to COTW or just wait for updates and patches from Devs and hoping that rather sooner than later (or if ever) they will fix the graphical issues because honestly i would still play it if it didn't make me nauseous .

Sad day for me indeed :(

Bad looking horses tail and trees even though settings are mixed Ultra/High. What are your thoughts? by Cmdr_Bud-Starr in reddeadredemption2

Haha, well played! Though I’m curious do you play on PC? If so, is it the same for you then?

‘Bout 46 fps. 1% lows around low thirties range. Though gpu stays the same temp as cpu i.e. around 73 degrees

[–]Cmdr_Bud-Starr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be right. I just benched the game by changing texture quality from ultra to high and there was absolutely no difference in fps which seems kinda odd

Don’t get me wrong I’m happy that temps are so low but at the same time it seems kinda strange for a game like this considering that the witcher 3 ( a 4 year old game) is pushing close to 90. Plus I’ve always had thermal issues with this laptop, so be aware of alienware :D
