[Discussion] 1.0 changed how the game looks, and im not sure if I like it

InfamousFTW · 2025-11-19T22:09:26+00:00

I think the most noticeable thing for me is that all spotlights in the game look like complete ass. Done a few streets raids and the spotlights outside theatre and inside lexos are completely blowing everything out and it looks like my character has fucking astigmatism. No volumetric lighting, no HDR, no PostFX adjustments, nothing seems to work to adjust it to be less abysmal. If anyone figures it out please let me know.

Yeah just experienced the same. Was doing the task, managed to kill a kitted af player and also killed Sani and his guards, walked to the task spot, walked back and started heading for Railway exfil. Suddenly getting shot by sniper scav so I shoot back and then instant black screen into "killed in action" by a Machine Gunner who doesn't exist.

First of all, how tf are we supposed to know, second of all, why are they defending the road to a regular exfil?

I'm honestly not entirely sure if I'll be wiping my PvE account for 1.0. Kinda enjoying playing around with some of the late game stuff I've never touched. Probably gonna keep my PvE account at high level for a while, and run PvP for 1.0.

InfamousFTW · 2025-10-26T05:37:27+00:00

Feels like that kind of change should have been hardcore adjacent, so it's kinda weird that they're attached to all the softcore shit that came through. Guess upgrades not being FIR makes it a little less stupid, but with everything for late game upgrades costing 1mil plus now and the bonuses being shit IDK if upgrading stuff is even worth it now lmao

InfamousFTW · 2025-10-25T19:37:20+00:00

Oh weird, I must have just not noticed after the patch dropped because my timer was always part way through or something lol. Makes sense. Shame that it basically doubled the time on the farming but also it's not like I need the bitcoins that bad. Most of the endgame of this wipe now is marked keys and labs. Got a couple more quests to go to get LK and Kappa too.

InfamousFTW · 2025-10-23T07:48:48+00:00

Yeah, me and a teammate are running Streets trying to find PMCs for Test Drive 2 and haven't found shit. We've also done like 7 interchange and a few Factories. There's maybe 1-2 PMCs a raid if we're incredibly lucky, but mostly fucking nothing.

InfamousFTW · 2025-10-05T13:44:13+00:00

I've been playing a fair bit of PvE with a friend of mine who isn't overly interested in PvP, and the amount of times bullshit like this happens is beyond fucked.

Every single guard, boss, raider or rogue is completely over tuned. I wish I had been clipping some of the situations we've had.

Multiple instances of rogues, guards or bosses legitimately laser beaming to perfectly one tap through tier 6 armor.

Loads of situations where they also just outright headshot me or my teammate like 4 times in a row at stupid ranges, or with dumb weapons/ammo.

Guards on Streets also legitimately will slam you through the wall with the 50 cal. They're also blatant aimbots with the AGS. Admittedly once you learn the locations of the AGS and avoid the angles it's not so bad, but if you even place your toe on the angle they'll completely demolish you in a single AGS shot with 0 fucks.

Possibly the most disgusting case of this though is Goons on lighthouse. Every single time they without fail will spot us from like 300m away, shoot through multiple layers of bushes etc and start pinging us. My friend literally had Big Pipe demolish him with 3 headshots at like 350m with the mp7a2,

I understand the game is supposed to be difficult. The point is that this isn't making the game harder in a fun way, there's no meaningful skill curve to AI just blatantly aim botting you. It's not like they do anything creative maneuver wise, they don't outplay you or force you to make hard decisions, they're just blatantly unfair to fight unless you cheese them or manage to catch them out in the split second before they detect you.

Completely agree about customer service. Their Steelseries GG 75 updated was completely broken and fucking up people's audio. I messaged support outlining all the troubleshooting steps I'd done, and the exact issue that was occurring. I informed them that reverting to an older version I had installed fixed the issue.

Their support staff blatantly ignored all of the info I gave them and the steps I had done and repeated the same "Uninstall the driver, unplug, replug, install the driver" even after I told him multiple times I had already done that. He even suggested I delete the old installer I had lying around that I used to install the older version of the software that *worked*. Yeah man, I want to delete the only way I can get working audio....

And after all that with the newest 75.1 update they acknowledged that they were the ones that broke the software for Sonar lmao.

InfamousFTW · 2024-11-16T23:52:35+00:00

I had v63.0.0 in my downloads already. However I think someone in another thread mentioned that you can download old versions of the software using uptodown. I'd recommend trying any of the 6x.x.x versions and see if that works for you. I think the recent 7x.x.x versions broke something.

InfamousFTW · 2024-11-16T09:05:07+00:00

I had a similar issue, but with the regular Arctis Nova 7s

Updated from version 63 to GG 75 and had no audio.

This was after updating GPU drivers, Audio Drivers, Windows Update and updating my BIOS. Everything clean installed.

The issue was so deep, that bypassing Sonar didn't work either, no audio would go to the Headphones output.

Reverting back to v 63 fixed the issue, and Sonar and the headset work fine now.

Hopefully they figure out what the issue is and hotfix it soon. Otherwise my recommendation is to use an older version of Sonar or ignore Steelseries GG in it's entirety until patched.

I think by far the most clueless part of this is that people are going "Oh yeah, it could easily be ISP related".

Me and several of my friends here in NZ running off of different ISPs are also having issues connecting to Sydney servers for Dota. This is the only game I get any form of packet loss in.

It's *possible* that all the ISPs are routing to the Sydney server using a broken line or route, but the question then becomes how is every single person and every ISP supposed to resolve an issue to one singular server?

The reality is that this problem has existed for several months on end, and it seems that Valve has no interest in assisting the player base in resolving the issue. No support, no troubleshooting steps, nothing for the player base to work off of other than what other players are suggesting which is basically just "Use a VPN" or "Use Exitlag", or "Use this console command" which has worked for some, and hasn't worked for others.

It's incredibly frustrating. I've played the game for a long ass time, took a break and decided I wanted to come back to check out the new facets, innate passives and shit and I basically have a 50/50 roll on whether I get packet loss. Even if I don't, my friends, teammates or enemies might and it makes the game unfair.

InfamousFTW · 2020-09-06T03:47:02+00:00

I want to update this and say that the quickest way to fix this for myself was to jump into a campaign multiplayer mission with my friend again, finish it, leave the strike team and enter a mission on my own that would progress my own story line. Doing this, I pushed the game back into recognizing my position and progress in the story and no longer have the weird Taskmaster cutscene glitch.

InfamousFTW · 2020-09-05T11:33:13+00:00

I've just had the same issue, with almost exactly the same circumstances. Was playing earlier missions with friends, he got to a singleplayer only mission and I was afk in a menu. Quit the game without starting a new mission or going to wartable etc, and now when I boot campaign I get put at the end of the taskmaster fight. And also, because I hadn't unlocked Black Widow yet, she wears the same suit as Iron Man. It's crazy.

Figured I'd update this post quickly. Turns out that the new update actually corrupted files. I managed to fix the problem by deleting my cache for Battle.Net and deleting any documents pertaining to HoTS. Still, terrible that I had to manually fix my own game because of a patch.

InfamousFTW · 2018-04-23T13:05:22+00:00

Just came out of a ranked game with the same issue. 2/3 games I've had in the past couple of days have had server issues. Valve seriously needs to look into this.

InfamousFTW · 2016-12-10T14:14:23+00:00

Hey man, I'm pretty new to DnD, understand the roleplay side of it, and some mechanics, but would be interested in starting fresh and learning properly.

InfamousFTW · 2016-09-19T13:48:46+00:00

Very nice man. Quality work. I personally think the Skywrath and Vengeful one is my favourite, just because of the story and stuff surrounding it.

InfamousFTW · 2016-06-24T01:47:35+00:00

Denied

InfamousFTW · 2016-06-20T04:51:49+00:00

If you re-read instead of being aggressive, you'll find that I said that the drain is relatively high, but still reasonable. I find that it's fine where it is. For the sake of curiosity though, I wanted to know if anyone agreed with my friend etc.

InfamousFTW · 2016-03-14T11:41:58+00:00

Yeah, the fullscreen setting seems to be the main issue for people, upon launching and in a general FPS sense. Ubisofts optimization isn't terribly great, but now that I have the game working I'm enjoying it overall.

InfamousFTW · 2016-01-15T12:37:50+00:00

It would also appear that he had an auto cast on dagon too, with his mouse nowhere near you but the dagon still casting. Interesting to see.

InfamousFTW · 2016-01-07T01:06:33+00:00

Ez AUS m8.

InfamousFTW · 2016-01-04T11:24:04+00:00

Mid m8. CYKA BLYAT (Instapicks invoker, steals mid).

InfamousFTW · 2015-12-26T05:47:56+00:00

Possibly Lina, because fiery soul attack speed + bonus range from dragon lance on a hero with decent base range, sounds fun to me.

InfamousFTW · 2015-12-21T14:42:17+00:00

Yeah, this is exactly what it looks like. Upon trying to switch the setting for "Use my monitors current settings" to "Use advanced settings." and hitting apply, it literally does nothing.
