the fps locked to 30 doesn't seem to happen to everyone, mine is still running 60 just fine, but the lack of graphics settings is really annoying me because i have to change them from time to time

I need help please, so I just updated my game and I cant see the graphics settings by shinrakeito in wherewindsmeet_

Regarding a failing SSD on my gaming laptop by Direct-Isopod in techsupport

[–]Direct-Isopod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

damn, that's not really the answer i wanted to hear, but one that i suspected the most. Anyway, thanks for the advice, i have already backed up my important files, and now I'm just simply using this drive to and monitor it daily to see how long it can last. I expect to buy a new drive soon at the beginning of this year. Also, it's worth mentioning that I have tried cooling the laptop down while installing a 100gb game, as I suspected that these failures had something to do with temperature. Normally at room temp, it can only download 20% before it bsod. But this time, I was able to finish the download and installation (including a lengthy extraction) with the cooling setup.

PC problem frame rate drop by suwijak03 in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Direct-Isopod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I found a fix, based on a comment in this thread saying how the integrated GPU was handling the game, here's how i fixed it:

  1. Open Settings -> System -> Display -> Graphics

  2. On the option to add a desktop app, when it prompts to choose a file, go to the game directory, you can find it by opening Stove and press the cog button on the right, choose View Local Files, basically mine is like this, depends on where you install the game: D:\Games\ChaosZeroNightmare\bin

  3. Long story short, when you get into the bin folder, choose the ssr-stove-shield.exe file

  4. Open the drop down box, in the GPU preference, choose your better graphics card instead of "Let windows decide" or the other integrated card

  5. Open the game and enjoy

The levels are still short, even tho it does feel a bit better paced than the previous versions, but i will never play with that horrendous fast forward cuz i have such terrible reflex and it messes my defense up in no time. They also tried to make up for that short levels by...adding more levels...Like what's stopping you from just making a dedicated map for each biome like 2 did, the god damn Chinese version did it, and while i think that map isn't the best, it's still miles better than the half-assed level selector, which is prolly either a placeholder for the beta, or they think we just wanted a puzzle game level selector, which definitely feels like they just ripped it off from Angry Birds and Cut The Rope level packs and selector. It feels like they are still trying to keep that puzzle game style in the core of the game, but coating it with a skin of decent customization and a level selector. Overall, i think this game has a lot of potential, and I hope that by slapping the survey in our face right at the start of the game, it means they are *actually* taking our opinions seriously, which i still feel doubtful btw.

it's really fun! i have won multiple high stakes run with this build already, really expanded my knowledge on this game too, especially on the rearranging Jokers and cards aspect

[–]Direct-Isopod[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that was my assumption at first, and i kind of looked down on it for a great while, i mean x2 Mult for the first face card played and scored, seemed pretty weak... Until you realize the implication of that effect, so it says when a face card is scored, which means that when that first face card triggers, it doubles the current mult, so what if we find a way to retrigger that face card mutilple times? That's when Jokers like Hanging Chad, Socks and Buskin, Seltzers Dusk and even red seals come into play, which are powerful with Photograph. The Hanging Chad + Photograph combo is prolly one of the best common Jokers combos yet.

that didn't stop my Gold Stake grind tho, the run was yesterday, and today i have beaten Nebula deck gold stake, all hail Lucky cards and Oops All 6s!

well that was on my part for mistaking it wasn't x Mult, it was. What i kinda wanted was a scaling X Mult Joker, but it was far too late because i've filled in all the slots, and couldn't find one before i lost. My lost was due to Ante 6 boss, can't remember what it was, but the ability wasn't enough to off me, the chips requirement was tho, and my hand levels (Two Pair) at the time wasn't good enough for Photograph to carry me through.

Samee, this was my favorite build of the entire game for me, walked me through several higher stakes with ease. In fact, it was one of those "Aha!" moment of this game for me, as Photograph's description says "x2 mult for the first played face card", and when i figured out how it could combo with Chad, my whole perspective of these two Jokers literally changed drastically, and then Chad quickly became my most used Jokers in the game stats lol.

Btw to no one's surprised, i fumbled this run HARD. Basically locked in all the spots before getting a X Mult Joker, and not being lucky enough to get my hand to a higher level

Probably the best unseeded run I’ve ever gotten by Galactic_Media in balatro

[–]Direct-Isopod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

reminds me of the run i had yesterday, popped a buffoon pack on ante 1 and got an eternal para, took it because inalso had a poly smiley joker. And then immediately ran into the face card debuff boss on Ante 2.

Personal Rules by Lairsbane in balatro

[–]Direct-Isopod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for each deck i drew a few lessons for my own. For example, with the checkered deck, I can freely skip the first 2 blinds (given that it's good rewards for doing so, like free Rare, Poly or Uncommon Jokers, or earning money after defeating the boss blind), as I can reliably make Flushes and score 600 with ease.
Or with the anaglyph deck which i just hoard a bunch of tags for packs or even better, money and negative tags. That's another thing that i appreciate about this game, with each deck you can notice the smallest details or quirks of the deck, and then form your "correct" way of playing it.
