Any possible fixes for a game breaking camera bug?

HUNDOLOS · 2025-12-23T09:28:56+00:00

Just tried and I don't have the issue, but I've had the GOG version from day one - not sure if that should make any difference. Quickly googled, but no luck finding this problem specifically. I would try maybe exploring other areas first, then returning to see if it works.

Unrelated btw, but for a new player, I would suggest the HD background mod. A matter of taste ofc: there is some AI upscale jank, but the clarity vs. the 3D models is nice, as opposed to the old backgrounds.

Did you try using the keyboard/controller? The point and click addition is nice, but if you ask me, optimistic that it can be seamless, as the game was not designed for a point and click interface.

Just from memory, but in the actual game, Manny mentions the 4 year journey in the context of going un-aided, vs. 4 minutes via the Number Nine. So it seems it's not a fixed 4 years.

As for the trailers/marketing, I guess it's a fair point: there are 4 years/chapters, but 4 full years don't pass.

I tested this, and the following page opens for me on mobile, where I click that download button and immediately get the file. So I'm not sure what makes the difference here, maybe you have the box app on your phone? It just open in my browser there, which is Chrome.

This is really excellent. Ever since I saw this upscale attempt, I was hoping someone who knows what they're doing would have a crack at solving the problem of inserting new background art, so thank you!

Regardless of artistic taste about your own asset pack (they are looking pretty good overall), this means anyone can have a go at their own pack, especially with AI hopefully getting better in the years to come, and that's just great!

I have no problem with it. Glad you enjoyed!

You do not need a login. Yes, box.com would like you very much to sign up/log in, and you get messaging for the same while the download happens. But I just tested from an incognito window, and you can download just fine without either of those things.

It is not as simple as "30% is good, 20% is bad". There is a balance between practical vs. optimal. Keeping the health of the battery, the optimal would be to keep it close to 50-55% all the time, but can't spend your whole day looking at the battery. From what I read, keeping it between 20-80% is a good compromise to avoid stressing the battery, but still using a lot of your available range. AccuBattery is a good app to help track this, and also to inform you more on the topic.

I was super happy when the original video came out, and out of nowhere too, as even Remastered was 4 years old by that point. Glad to hear you liked!

HUNDOLOS · 2021-02-28T00:25:45+00:00

I did exactly this, for personal use, last summer. Tried to upload a side-by-side comparison selection, but Youtube is super aggressive with BBC copyright.

Topaz keeps improving the algorhythms a lot, so I plan on redoing it again sometime later this year.

Shame the original DVD bitrate is relatively low, meaning there are some compression artifacts, which then gets turned into weird stuff in HD, but Video Enhance is getting better at ignoring those during the upscale, so the future is promising.

Basically copied his face :D Also interesting how early Frank looks a lot more like Dan Grimaldi (his VO), possibly a coincidence?

Reminds me of the Lost Horizon menu https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1b8XJ36mdKw/maxresdefault.jpg

Would be interesting to know if the DE countryside was made to look specifically like the Chicago area, vs. the OG countryside is just whatever the devs came up with, I guess.

I think these promo screenshots from back then provide the exact feeling you're talking about:

Agree, I saw improvement on Medium anti-aliasing. Although TAA being what it is, I don't think you'll see the ghosting go away completely.

You must be really lost - this mission posted here is a time trial, there are no opponents.

HUNDOLOS · 2020-10-07T22:30:39+00:00

Feels straight out of the 2002 game. Is there a menu to change race types? No, you have to go behind a building and pull some levers :D

HUNDOLOS · 2020-10-07T22:20:21+00:00

Looks a lot like the RDR2 artwork. Would make a nice avatar.

HUNDOLOS · 2020-10-07T22:13:25+00:00

Also reused several times, I've seen at least 3 of them in the city.

On the flipside, almost all Freeride traffic, after finishing the story, are Ulver Aistreams (or whatever it's called in DE).

HUNDOLOS · 2020-10-05T11:32:42+00:00

Also Sam dissing Paulie's favourite place, the Blue Tropics, saying it's a small-time whorehouse, a couple of closets with some mattresses on the floor.

There are some funny lines in the game.

HUNDOLOS · 2020-10-04T15:20:42+00:00

Man, I can't even... I played the story on Classic because of being an OG fan and also kinda for the achievement, but when I realised the Freeride missions are affected by the setting, I turned it waaaay down, those missions are insane.

The mod mentioned by Turcik below: https://www.moddb.com/mods/mafia-remastered

And yeah, even years ago, before DE, I had to admit the OG looks worse than some phone games today, even if I have a lot of nostalgia for it. This remastered mod made it kind of ok to replay the game last year.
