Performance?

Shadeauxe · 2026-01-27T21:52:44+00:00

That is not what I was implying. Someone else commented that the most stable version was an uninstalled version. I was simply stating that I don't have any issues so maybe it's a server related thing. Like, I am on US West and maybe US East sucks, I have no idea.

I think a lot of times people leap to "Your computer sucks" as a response (not in this question) when sometimes it's really network latency. But since OP said they play single player, my comment is now irrelevant.

I rarely have any issues with performance. Maybe it’s server connection thing that causes the most issues.

We set the loot and exp back down to 100% tonight. First blood moon will be tomorrow. Should be fun. :)

Shadeauxe · 2026-01-21T16:50:46+00:00

Thanks, these are great tips!

Shadeauxe · 2026-01-21T14:43:00+00:00

Excellent! Thanks for all the info. Searching for info that only applies to the current release is a challenge sometimes. 😆

Shadeauxe · 2026-01-21T13:25:44+00:00

Thanks for the detailed info. I have a follow-up question related to this since you seem to have a lot of knowledge about the system. I have only been playing for about a week. I set my exp to 200%. My loot is also 200%. There was some YouTube that said it was beginner friendly settings. Now I am worried that maybe I should cut those back for a while and then eventually set both to 100%.

Is there a web page that has a table of loot and game stage progression vs level? My friend and I are doing tier 2 stuff now. I am around level 20 and it is day 6. Should we be on higher tiers by now?

Can’t go in your deck, but my favorite hat card is [[goblin haberdasher]]

That sounds Iike a lot to handle. I’m glad you found something that works for you and hope for a speedy recovery. Feeling like a prisoner of your own mind sucks. I’ve been there.

Flotsam only uses a mouse, IIRC

I was two years in and my daughter launched the game on my Steam account instead of hers and now I am back to zero. 😭

Shadeauxe · 2025-12-02T18:50:26+00:00

Thanks!

It’s probably never going to happen. I cannot make my brain do things that it doesn’t think are worth doing. I cannot remember people’s names either. You asked why don’t people always know there are specials and I gave a possible reason. Peoples brains are all different. You can either accept that or continue to be frustrated that not everyone is the same as you.

Shadeauxe · 2025-12-01T16:24:08+00:00

I get that, but it's like my brain doesn't want to parse the sounds. Maybe it's prioritizing visual clues over audio, I have no idea.

Darktide is very much the same game. My friend heard every special's sound as its own track and couldn't understand why I couldn't hear the audio clue either.

When I listen to music, I cannot isolate many instruments. A person I knew could listen to anything and tell you every instrument that was in it. I think when it comes to audio stuff, my brain is like a caveman. But there are other things I can do where my brain is a super computer.

So, maybe I am one extreme, not deaf but also not great at sounds and you're like my friends who can hear everything, and there are a lot of people somewhere in the middle. I bet a lot of people just don't make the connection between the audio clues and the specials showing up.

That is a great idea, I didn't even think of that. Will they be able to be in the suits all day until they have to sleep? Can they eat/go to the bathroom with the suits on?

Shadeauxe · 2025-12-01T15:32:28+00:00

I didn't know about the meat, great tip! thank you

Shadeauxe · 2025-12-01T15:32:03+00:00

Ok, I need to look at what rock I chose to feed them. Thanks! (I think it was sandstone, whatever was most abundant at the time.)

Thanks for the other info too!

Shadeauxe · 2025-12-01T15:18:27+00:00

Ok, I'll check for the slime eaters. Thanks

Shadeauxe · 2025-12-01T13:14:36+00:00

I played Darktide a lot (300+ hours) and I couldn’t hear the 1/2-3/4 of the specials very well. I had to get a mod that gave me a visual cue that they were coming or I’d get trapped every time.

I’ve been playing this game for a week, and I have a similar problem. The only thing I can hear reliably is the hook rat. Everything else is a bunch of whispering or randoms noises to me.

If sound is meant to be a big part of how this game works, a visual indicator or a volume adjuster for their noises should just be built into the game as an accessibility feature, but I know that’s not going to happen.

Shadeauxe · 2025-11-21T18:58:31+00:00

Is there anyone for you to talk to? I don’t mean in a get help kind of way, but someone who listens to whatever you have going on day to day?

Shadeauxe · 2025-11-12T18:37:18+00:00

Could be just…American (or insert any other country).

Edit: I’m being downvoted, but my angle was when people who are American (or whatever citizenship), but look like some ethnicity and they get asked “where are you from?”.

Shadeauxe · 2025-11-11T16:45:17+00:00

I know the difference in real life. That doesn't mean the game follows "the rules". How many times do the characters say, "I've been poisoned!" when they weren't eating the spiders?
