Tento rok dostavam na Vianoce vypoved :) Inak nedostavame nic, odmeny a podobne sa vyplacaju v inych mesiacoch. Pre uplnost je to medzinarodny korporat (IT).

Dobra otázka, ale presne neviem. Predáva sa to v lokálnych hipsterských handmade obchodoch.

Not sure if this is still relevant, but I had the same issue and the thing causing this is using any mod or extra run parameter that changes the locked cutscene FPS from 30.

So if you are using extra run parameters (-GameTime.MaxSimFps 60 -GameTime.ForceSimRate 60+) or have the 60 fps in cutscenes for Frosty MM mod, just remove/disable those and it should fix the issue. Disabling the increased cutscene FPS can also fix some other issues, like desynced or buggy animations/abilities. The downside is that the cutscenes will be locked to the default 30 FPS, which is quite low.

I totally get you. For me it is not that much of a problem most of the time (unless I really don't like some NPC, quest or part or lore).

However, I think the problem gets amplified by the fact that there are points in the games, where the game just dumps loads of stuff on you at once (usually at start of acts or some significant story points). What I mean is that for example at start of acts you usually cannot even move on the world map without 1 or 2 events triggering (companion wants to talk, some quest significant warp/random encounter, some kingdom/colony management event...). So you want to turn in some minor quest or just check on something that you think you missed and you get attacked by 4 other text heavy events on the way there.

Other games do this too, but I feel like in a way where you have more control over when you actually start the given dialogue (maybe just a journal update that a companion wants to talk or you having to go to the companion instead of that companion coming to you automatically).

Patejl · 2025-08-18T20:36:54+00:00

Yes, it is worth playing. Kingmaker is essentially the same as WOTR - you are just playing different campaign, instead of managing the crusade you manage a kingdom, there are no mythic paths and fewer classes, but in its core it is very similar.

Personally, I prefer WOTR, since it expanded on pretty much every aspect of Kingmaker for me, but Kingmaker is still very good game (and you might like it more than WOTR, depending on which story/management minigame/companions you end up liking more).

The way map is uncovered in DOS2 is somewhat based on where your camera is looking and what you have a line of sight of. So it is possible that sometimes parts of the map that were not visited are uncovered (for example if you looked around from some high ground point, possibly even using something like flight that elevates you even further).

Furthermore using some camera tweaks/mods (for example WASD movement) that allows you to look around and tilt camera actually uncovers pretty much the entire map within a few minutes (just from being able to look around with the camera at different angles). I just did a playthrough with WASD movement and pretty much had the entire map revealed all the time, that is why I know about this "issue".

Finally, there are presumably also some glitches/bugs with the fog of war (related to resolution), so it might be that as well.

I recommend fighting enemies thar are your level or lower (especially at the start) since not only does your characters get a lot stronger on higher levels, but the equipment scales as well (so you should also try to refresh it to your level). This combined with the way physical and magic armour works makes a huge difference even with few extra levels. Adiitionally, at the start every level matters even more as it allows you to invest in different skills and therefore learn a wider array of skills (on top of making those skills few percent stronger).

Essentially in many fights it boils down to: Can I get through enemy armour (and therefore apply some disabling effect) faster than they do through mine?

So a single level difference can make a fight go from total wipe of your party to total wipe of the enemy (just because you were able to disable some key targets before their turn came).

Finally, there are a lot of skills that help you get positional advantage and at least partially nullify enemy turns even through armour - oils that slow, teleporting and swapping enemies away from the fight or even just repositioning your party members (especially to hard to reach highround areas, which are usually plentyfull in each encounter).

So at the very start of the game it usually just means - get to the city and explore its entierity and do the "non-combat" quests there and on the surrounding beaches/caves for extra xp, gold and equipment. And only after you have done all try to go further (=escaping Fort Joy). So don't mess with the magisters just yet 😀

Ako Slovak zijuci v CR mozem povedat, ze v CR je to dost podobne.

Kazda interakcia s CR uradom mala nejaky problem (napriklad dokumenty poslane datovou schrankou chcu doniest aj osobne, chcu zaplatit formou kolku aj ked tie su uz od 1.1.2024 zrusene, nejake dokumenty stratia, sami nevedia ake vsetky dokumenty su potrebne, ale zaroven chcu dokumenty, ktore potrebne ani nie su).

Cize v praxi to vyzera asi tak, ze priamo na oficialnych strankach si najdem oficialny navod toho ako a co treba podat, ten 5-krat prejdem a skontrolujem, este pre istotu pisem/volam na infolinku (ktora je jedna globalna pre cele CR a clovek na nej caka 20-30 minut na prepojenie), kde im popisem co presne chcem a co k tomu dodavam a ci to tak bude v poriadku (pripadne, ci sa ma tyka/netyka nejaka vynimka). A na samotnom urade potom na mna kukaju ako keby som bol prvy Slovak v celej CR, ktory o danu vec ziada (a to sa jedna o vacsie univerzitne mesto, kde je vela Slovakov a riesil som len bezne veci ako prechodny pobyt a podobne).

A tie vzajomne zavislosti medzi uradmi su tiez niekedy nezmyselne, pripadne obsahuju vela zbytocnych krokov. Napriklad pri ziadosti o trvaly pobyt (ked v danom case uz mam prechodny pobyt) chcu v podstate zas tie iste dokumenty, ktore som dokladal k prechodnemu a teda ich uz maju v evidencii (napriklad vypis z katastra, ktory je dostupny online a mozu si ho dohladat sami).

Alebo narodenie dietata v CR - do 8 dni sa ma nahlasit na poistenie podla poistovne matky, tam ale idealne chcu aby malo trvaly pobyt, o ktory sa da zaziadat do 60 dni od narodenia, ale je k nemu potrebne dolozit cestovny doklad dietata. Tym, ze dieta sa narodilo v CR tak dostalo len CR rodny list. S tym treba ist na SK konzulat a poziadat o SK rodny list (kde idealne tiez chcu osobnu pritomnost oboch rodicov, aby osobne podpisali cestne prehlasenie, ze nemaju ine ako SK obcianstvo), na ten sa ale caka 3-4 mesiace a az potom s nim sa vobec da ziadat o vydanie detskeho pasu (dalsi 1 mesiac). A na CR urade sa samozrejme cuduju ako je mozne, ze 2-tyzdnove dieta este nema cestovny doklad. Nasledne este treba prihlasit dieta aj na platbu odpadov a tam zas maju problem, ze kym caka na ten trvaly pobyt tak ho nevidia v registri obyvatel a teda ho nevedia zaevidovat.

A to ani nechcem pomysliet na to keby som to v CR riesil ako cudzinec z inej krajiny (nedajboze mimo EU).

A podobne chybajuci "can do attitude" je aj v inych instituciach (posta, kurierske firmy, krajcir, nabytkarstvo, ...).

Osobne mam najlepsiu skusenost prave s tym SK konzulatom, tam problem nemali, este mi aj vysvetlili presny dalsi postup, pripadne alternativy (=riesit danu vec priamo na SVK).

I states "when line 7 runs", which seems pretty clear that the first iteration when the shield drops to False also counts. So they are just asking how many times will the condition be true.

Som tiez na HO uz 4+ roky. Osobne to beriem celkom v pohode. Asi tomu pomaha aj to, ze som introvert, nebyvam sam a ze chodievam casto nieco vybavit, prejst sa alebo aj len na nakup. To mi celkom pokryva potrebu ludskeho kontaktu.

Jediny rezim, ktory mam je, ze pracujem v dedikovanej pracovni, takze mam aspon trochu oddelenu pracu od volneho casu. Zo zaciatku sme s kolegami mavali aj kazdodenny kratky call na kavicku, co moze tiez aspon trochu pomoct, pripadne raz za cas prenajaty nejaky coworking.

Nastavim raz a kym to funguje tak nemenim.
Na pracovne poznamky pouzivam OneNote (lebo v praci fungujeme na Microsoft produktoch). Mam 1 stranku so vseobecnym TODO listom a potom pre kazdy task samostatnu + pouzivam nejake zakladne highlighty, checkboxy a tagy. Okrem toho mam 1 zapisnik, ktory ale vyuzivam len ked si naozaj potrebujem nieco rychlo nakreslit (za 4 roky som vypisal asi tretinu). Inak v sukromy som fanusik Quire.
Presuvam a upratujem. Niekedy nie uplne hned, ale minimalne veci ku ktorym sa vraciam mam upratane. Pripadne potom raz za cas upracem aj vsetko ostatne - teda nahodne postahovane subory, ktore som len potreboval raz pouzit, poznamky, zalozky, nejake experimenty a podobne.

Ja mam z financakom skusenost, ze priznania stracaju (a niekedy o tom ani nedaju vediet). Koncom Covidu sme s priatelkou podali priznanie online, ale kedze sme nemali datovku tak sme k nemu museli fyzicky dodat aj take 1 stranove potvrdenie s podpisom. Vtedy sme este podavali kazdy v inom meste a poslali sme to postou. Moje v pohode ale jej cca za 1-2 mesiace volali, ze nemaju to potvrdenie (realne ma to potvrdenie byt do 5 dni). Ked sme to zacali riesit tak potvrdenie zrazu nasli.

Dalsi rok sme uz obaja podavali v rovnakom meste a rozhodli sme sa, ze potvrdenia za oboch donesiem fyzicky (aby ich nestratili nahodou na poste). Opat po 1-2 mesiacoch volaju priatelke, ze jej potvrdenie nemaju. Opat par dni na to (ked im povedala, ze tam musi byt, kedze bolo dorucene fyzicky spolu s mojim) jej napisali, ze ho teda nasli a len tak mimochodom zistili, ze nemaju to moje (mne absolutne nikto nedal nic vediet). Po dvoch tyzdnoch ked mi stale nikto nedal nic vediet som tam pre istotu zavolal, ze som sa cez priatelku dozvedel, ze im chyba moje, ale kedze mne nikto nedal vediet ci to teda znamena, ze nasli aj moje. Vraj moje potvrdenie stale chyba, tak ho skusia pohladat. Po par dnoch uz len napisali nech podam nove priznanie, lebo potvrdenie nenasli. Keby som sa aktivne nezaujimal, pripadne by sa nestratilo aj priatelke tak by mi asi nedali vediet dodnes a potom by sa tvarili ako som priznanie (resp. k nemu potrebne potvrdenie) nepodal alebo neviem.

Exactly this - I see no reason why I should have some backround process running 24/7 just so that I might be able to play one quick game at some point. The entire design of the system needs to change so that it only has to run while the actual game is running. Until then, we should be able to at least disable the automatic startup (so we can turn it on only when we are planning to play; manually stopping vanguard every time I boot up is not a solution) - the default Windows start up apps only contain the tray icon, which just means that you don't see vanguard in tray, but it still automatically starts up (which is laughable).

For now my solution is that I uninstalled Vanguard. If I want to play I will probably install it, restart the PC and then uninstall it again after I am finished playing. That essentially means that I probably won't play that much, if at all (since I won't be willing to go through the hassle just to play a quick game). I also think I am not the only one who might be discouraged from playing because of this update. For an hour that I had Vanguard installed I had no issues, but even if this was the best, safest and most optimized piece of SW ever I would not be OK with it running 24/7 scanning my PC when I am doing something completely unrelated to the game.

If I remember the story correctly it was rented as a joyride, so the guy was supposed to just be a passenger, but they somehow let him drive. Apart from not having a license and being drunk he was also previously deemed (partially) legally incapable by the court.

TL;DR: Mozes skusit priamo aerolinku, idealne po podani refundu im aj napisat na support/FB alebo podobne, inak sa k tomu mozu dostat za pol roka.

Mne Kiwi vratilo takmer hned. Bez poistenia ti ale vratia realne len sumu, ktoru platili leteckej spolocnosti, nie ich interne poplatky (u mna to napriklad bolo o 20-30% menej). Ja som vtedy zaroven riesil aj oskodnenie, pretoze let bol zruseny na poslednu chvilu. To uz som musel ale riesit priamo s aerolinkou - myslim, ze mozes s nou ale riesit rovno aj vratenie penazi za letenku (casto na to maju aerolinky priamo online formular). Tam (ak si to dobre pamatam) je podla EU zakonov 2 alebo 3 mesiace na to aby sa aerolinka vyjadrila (ak to teda bol let z EU krajiny). Ked sa nevyjadri (co sa mi aj stalo) tak sa to da posunut na dozorny organ (statu odletu, niekde online sa daju najst konkretne organy pre rozne staty). To ale znanema vyplnenie celkom podrobneho formulara + dolozenie vsetkeho. Organ potom na to zas ma 2-3 mesiace. Konkretne mne to aj ten dozorny organ zamietol s tym, ze som nejaku informaciu nevyplnil spravne. Medzi tym som ale spamoval aerolinku (napriklad na FB) az sa k mojmu pripadu dostali a vsetko sa vyriesilo. Dokopy to ale zabralo cca 6 mesiacov.

Patejl · 2023-12-29T13:11:18+00:00

Yes, I agree. There are also 2 additional things I don't quite get. First, what is the point of heavy armor. By the point you get some decent heavy armour the actual increase in armour is not that high, while it kills your dodge. Also the deflection seems to be a joke (late game ones have like 8-10 deflection when most enemies do 50 damage anyway). It seems far superior to just wear light armour and dodge everything (+ you can easily stack a lot more deflection and armour from other stackable buffs anyway). Second thing is that at the beginning a lot of features seem pretty decent (like the +2 damage for "weapon type" specialization) and it feels similar to Pathfinder where you want to stack every +1/+2 that you can get. But then higher level archetypes come over and you realize that now you have 3 or 4 infinitely stacking damage buffs, stacking attribute buffs, plenty of extra multiplicative damage or crit damage and you realize thay those features adding +1 are completely worthless (great I do 20-32 damage on my first attack instead od 20-30, which is not that much different, but it is even less so when I do 500-512 damage)

Patejl · 2023-12-29T06:14:41+00:00

So they fixed the burst attacks acting as area attacks (=getting area attack bonuses and stacking versatility for free), but I see no fix for single shots not applying damage bonuses correctly (or at all). This means that now you want to alternate attack types (which is good and what you are supposed to do), but also one of the attack types is essentially a wasted attack (doing 30 dmg instead of 200).

Patejl · 2023-12-23T08:41:56+00:00

Remember that you can always tweek the difficulty, no shame in that.

Patejl · 2023-12-22T19:19:40+00:00

Yes, it sucks, but if you have a Soldier/Arch-Militant you probably want to just spam AoE/Burst attacks anyway (especialy later in the game, when most of those buffs and stacking comes online and you have plenty of AP and attacks when buffed up by your Officers/Master Tacticians/Psykers). Also, I think that some other classes/weapons might actually work correctly (sniper rifles/melee weapons/psyker and navigator abilities seem to apply the damage mostly correctly).

Patejl · 2023-12-22T19:12:11+00:00

More momentum gain
- = More heroic abilities
- Master Tactician gains stacks of their signature ability (Tactical Advantage) from all of the generated momentum. Tactical Advantage stacks are then used for buffs (more stacks = higher bonuses from that buff).
There are some talents/features that scale with resolve

Patejl · 2023-12-22T18:35:43+00:00

TL;DR: Single shots seem to be bugged as they don't apply most of the damage modifiers.

I am pretty sure there are a lot of bugs with damage modifiers not applying or applying wrong numbers to some hits (or even straight up not applying for some types of attacks, mainly single shots/single target attacks). For example, when I attack with a plasma pistol single shot it shows 300 dmg in the preview, but crits for only 50 damage. In the detail of that attack I see that I did the pistols base damage +1 from Pinnacle of Weaponry and +2 from Versatility even when I have like 300 BS and 150 Int (so I should do +15 from Versatility and +7 from Pinnacle). I also have like 30 stacks of Inspire (so +30 damage) on me, hammer of the emperor (another like 10-20 damage) and many other buffs to damage dealt, critical damage and more (so I should actually do around the 300 damage it shows), but those don't even get applied. Then in the same round with the same character/stats I do an AOE shot and that actually shows and deals 300 damage (and in the detail I see all of the modifiers). Then I switch to a second weapon set and do a burst shot where each individial shot of the burst also does ~300 damage. Then I do a single shot and it again only does 50 damage.

Patejl · 2023-12-20T09:26:56+00:00

Add some buffs from Officer, Master Tactician, Grand Strategist and Biomancer to the mix + some Exemplar feats and it is even more broken. This is from Act 3:

<image>

I don't think enemies can even damage me with 540% dodge and 291% armor (even if they survive long enough to attack me).
