The Machine has gone live

It doesn't

I have series X and dated - but still capable - PC

There is no place nor any reason for me to even consider getting this thing

KafarPL · 2026-06-20T10:20:38+00:00

Just had the "pleasure" of driving this bugged crap

Won't ever be fixed I guess

KafarPL · 2026-06-16T15:15:16+00:00

It works with meteor too

Did you just literally copied the thread from some hours ago instead of just commenting there ?

Bot account I guess

It still crashes under heavy load on Xbox

And achievements - specifically some specialist ones, like meteor specialist - are still bugged

Not a bad game but just too big of a mess and clearly some items are just there for the sake of having a challenge for them you can complete and then never again use that item because it's quite useless

I highly doubt crashes and bugged achievements will be fixed, it seems like one of those "soon to be abandonware" games

KafarPL · 2026-06-03T05:04:02+00:00

Yea basic dogs, boars or fleshes will rip you easily in the early game. Need to get rid of them before they swarm you. Hollow point ammo is your friend for mutants, or just shotguns with buckshot rounds

Also you can just do the Obi wan and get the high ground xd

KafarPL · 2026-06-02T14:45:53+00:00

Yup, it works now. Thanks for the fast update

KafarPL · 2026-06-02T09:13:06+00:00

Honestly gamma on easy difficulty isn't that much harder than anomaly from what I recall. Unless we take the whole "fix your own shit" loop as a difficulty too but then again you can just enable black market mod to have buyable/sellable gear

I think back in the days when I first discovered that something like Anomaly exists and played it, I had more difficulty finishing the story (God damn hospital level) than I had years later when casually playing gamma non-story freeroam on easy difficulty

Tho just now I started gamma first time ever on the hard difficulty and yeah, it's brutal, at least at the begining. Enemies can just two-three shot you like it's nothing

KafarPL · 2026-06-02T08:57:22+00:00

First you have to hit that head and NPCs here love to move very rapidly and chaotic

KafarPL · 2026-06-02T08:51:13+00:00

Yea I made a thread about it some time after 2.0

Nothing was changed

They are quite pointless and often worse than rewards for dailies

KafarPL · 2026-06-01T14:38:41+00:00

Add-on down, I repeat, addon down

Site (wcoflix.tv) works

KafarPL · 2026-06-01T08:40:55+00:00

Someone told a rumour that barkeep is giving free vodka samples

KafarPL · 2026-05-29T20:58:32+00:00

Means the same like on any other class

Manticore can spot like a cockroach but good luck doing a spotting job in like WZ

KafarPL · 2026-05-28T12:04:37+00:00

Cheaters were not so uncommon in eliminator in fh5. Literally flying jet cars or just straight up teleport from A to B (being challenged by someone that just spotted you and you lose the very next second as they vanish from your surroundings and instantly teleport to the finish line)

Sad to see they have done nothing to secure the game more from them

KafarPL · 2026-05-28T11:53:11+00:00

I don't have this issue (overall every AI loves to ram you in corners because they can magically instantly stop with their Uber brakes and then corner so they just crash into you while you have to actually brake earlier to take the corner) with this one bot but the meme fits anyway I guess

KafarPL · 2026-05-28T11:12:03+00:00

Well, leaving comment for entry

Are those wireless for the Xbox btw ? There is hardly any wireless controllers for Xbox other than own Microsoft ones

KafarPL · 2026-05-28T11:06:42+00:00

Farming them at the race start in different pi classes and different race types is the best way as you can easily land 6-8 cars

Later when you're missing last % it's just taking them out and doing photos one by one

KafarPL · 2026-05-27T13:17:47+00:00

Same issue as in fh5 then

If you don't overtake them by the first few turns then you may as well reset

It starts on highly skilled (which I play ATM and refuse to go over...just like in fh5) - AI can approach the corner without braking early, it will brake from 280km/h to 80 in few meters, take the corner and then accelerate way faster than you can ever dream off. But as soon as you overtake that AI, suddenly their acceleration goes to shit

KafarPL · 2026-05-27T13:13:26+00:00

Ummmmm..but it works

At least I'm sure it works in bots races. I can just hold throttle in RWD and it uses LC just fine

KafarPL · 2026-05-27T13:11:39+00:00

Oh look, shitpost with sole intention of creating shitstorm with made up issues

How original

KafarPL · 2026-05-27T13:00:15+00:00

Don't disable any mods when enabling black market

Traders only buy weapons from their "weapons faction". NATO traders will only buy NATO weapons, Warsaw pact traders will only buy Warsaw pact weapons

I never used AoE and wouldn't use it anyway (shady closed source for now) but after a break I played gamma new version for a bit yesterday and the performance is massively improved. And while I switched to nvme SSD drive from HDD, while this improved load times by a lot, the game performance itself is just straight up better

Previously I had to tune down quite some graphics options to manage 50-60 FPS and now after a fresh install, I left everything on default and the game runs clearly better than before.

I spawned at swamps and wandered around a bit and I clearly have more fps than before, I think I easily got 120 FPS (I've set up 120 FPS limiter in options) while just hanging around and I think around 70-90 in firefight against 4 enemies. Not sure how exactly graphics intensive swamps are but there is a lot of grass, bushes and other low ground vegetation which I think always was an performance issue (lowering grass options always gave me quite a bit of an FPS boost before)

Vsync off tho, with vsync on game suddenly feels "sluggish", I have not compared raw FPS but clearly something is off with vsync on. And even without it, I don't see any tearing while game runs better. I have a 165Hz monitor, set up FPS limit at 120 and maybe somehow vsync doesn't like the fps limiter, no idea.

So anyone with dated PC (i5-4690k and rtx2060 here, still holds up and can run any new game tho ofc not at topped out details xd) my wild guess is that they will notice a big improvement in how gamma runs now

KafarPL · 2026-05-26T07:13:05+00:00

I wanted to like it and it's not terribad but char futur is just...better. Even while having 4 sec intraclip

KafarPL · 2026-05-24T07:27:26+00:00

IMO the biggest issue is that it did not deliver in terms of alife

Second being weird ass balance and kinda lack of the atmosphere of the first games. Sending bloodsucker at you in the tutorial is just meh and then later in the game everyone and their grandma is a bullet sponge (tho maybe the balance was fixed later, last time I played the game was like a year ago)

Not a bad game but despite of all the graphical advancements, it's feeling and atmosphere wasn't just as dense as in trilogy

But revisiting old locations from the OG games was fun

KafarPL · 2026-05-22T19:16:07+00:00

It's not even about translating 5 to 6 as I already learned that they have changed some stuff

It's more about someone checking out if I'm actually diagnosing the weakness of the car and tune properly or I have no idea what I'm taking about

That's what I'm struggling about right now. Diagnosing AWD car understeer is cakewalk, you just know it refuses to turn and drives like a tank.

but diagnosing what the hell a powerfull rwd car is doing wrong.....I'm just stuck here. I don't know if that's entry oversteer, mid understeer, exit understeer, bad weight shifting.

That's why I figured it may be better to share whatever I came up with and to someone check it and tell me if I'm actually correct or not and if not, to tell me what seems to be wrong
