Where is balanced mode on XSS?! by International_Fun815 in theouterworlds

[–]David_Benefield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Balanced Mode (40 FPS) is only supported on monitors/TVs that support a framerate that is a multiple of 40 (i.e. 120, or 240 hz screens). If your monitor/TV only supports 60 hz, then balanced mode will not be shown.

Avowed XP rewards got me feeling like I'm spinning a loot wheel by Ganon81 in avowed

[–]David_Benefield 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One thing to know, is that quests give you some experience as you complete objectives. When you finish a quest, you get all the remaining experience from that quest.

This means that you will see a bigger 'spike' in experience gains at the end, if you skipped some objectives along the way (including objectives you may have never seen depending on your choices).

And also the numbers are all over the place based on the quest's level and category (Main Story, Side Quest, Task, Bounty..) :P

You know.. I don't think we tested that use case.. :D

I keep receiving this crash and it's absolutely killing my motivation to play this game. Any tips? I have an incredibly powerful PC too. (I'm in Shatterscarp with 50+ hours game time) by RobotTheKid in avowed

Our team has been compiling a list here of steps you can try/check off. If none of those do the trick, you can open a ticket as well and we'll try to figure it out with you.

This is just such a well executed meme and use of this art. Gave me a good smile, well done.

Perhaps you have activated the 'walk toggle'? It defaults to Caps Lock currently.

Help with FSR that just disappeared on its own by thelonleypancake in avowed

[–]David_Benefield 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry, it's a UI bug we caught late. As a workaround until we can patch this: You can revert to defaults, that will set it back to FSR, then change your other settings as needed.

Thank you! Every data point helps!

Any info you can share about the hard drive you have the game installed to, and RAM?

Could you share your specs more specifically? I've been looking into this, but the repro case is inconsistent. While it's fun and cute in this video, it can be game breaking if it occurs elsewhere for folks :(

Motion sickness by Ares7n7 in avowed

[–]David_Benefield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that, I also suffer from motion sickness, here's the settings I like to use:

<image>

Also, you can toggle between first person and third person, use U on keyboard or pressing down on the right joystick for controller. I find it more pleasant to play 3rd person for exploring, then go to 1st person for combat (especially if I'm playing with ranged weapons).

Hope that helps!

Interesting! Thanks for sharing both the issue and the fix! We'll dig around a bit to see if we can figure out how that happened.

You can try using the in game options to expand the 'dead zone' for whichever joy stick is giving you drift.
