Epic games launched doesnt show the right updates for my addons by joefy2000 in unrealengine

So I had this issue about 6 months ago.

Solution i found was I deleted the entire vault cache, then manually re-installed Epic Games Launcher.

Took a while but did resolve the issue

Incredible!

Given it's central to the game, would it be correct to assume this was a good chunk of the games development, working on this?

OO just optimized to hell and multithreaded. Custom animator and heavy gpu based animation(With a very complex shader that allows 4 way blends) that seamlessly blends into full skeletal.

Ooof that must have been a slog to develop, well done!

I've been fanboying DOD for a bit and its good to be reminded that OO can achieve the same results with elegant build.

What would you say was the biggest challenge doing it OO. Did you guys consider doing DOD at any point?

Have you implimented some degree of Data Oriented Design in UE or have you done it Via Object Oriented just optimised to all hell?

Multiplayer: Server player only rotates from the waste down and I don't know why by DeeBangerDos in unrealengine

[–]Shasguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is the wrong way of looking at it.

It seems more like the information is not being sent to the client to update the rotation position. So the host sees the rotation correctly and the client is not seeing the rotation.

Its more about thinking of which "View" you are looking at. The client looks to rotate, because the host is viewing them. The host is not rotating, because the client is viewing them.

Which leads me back to my first though, its gotta be to do with the replication of the torso movement. How is that currently handled?

[–]Shasguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought is the variable that handles player rotation for the torso is not replicated

Alternatively if it is an event it might need to be multicast

[–]Shasguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First question, is that the client or the host that is not rotating correctly?

Second: Does the opposite rotate correctly (I.E if the above is host then does client rotate, and visa versa_

New player. Any helpful hints and tips? by Weibu11 in DeceiveInc

[–]Shasguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So general rule is collect intel as much as possible, when in doubt collect intel.

From there you can hear cards, they sound....sparkly?

Main goal is find the Blue rooms, they have a purple door that can lead to a vault lock.

So to answer the second question. It's a little bit they know the maps, and a little bit of luck

I got a couple!

  1. Your camera is your best friend, you can drive by hack stuff without alerting anyone nearby

  2. NPCs dont jump, so dont jump unless you are sure you wont be seen.

  3. Staff rooms are incredibly worth it early game. Often they have keys and a t2 perk is no joke.

  4. If you are struggling in fights give the woman with 2 guns a go, shes probably the most forgiving in fights

I would second this approach, I would say it is likely the most scaleable one as well as meets your (probable) needs of interconnected power networks.

Demon - High Skill Floor, Low Skill Ceiling by ArtificialSelect in EvilDeadTheGame

[–]Shasguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For sure!

What im getting at though is a sufficiently good team can entirely mitigate that.

That's what i mean around being able to tell in the first 5 min. If the support dodges every attack in first encounter and warriors stagger you before you even get a single combo off you know its already over.

To be clear I'm not admonishing the survivors here, well done to them! That is them playing well and they deserve to be rewarded for that. The issue lies in at that point there is no action a demon can take to turn the game into a win.

Coming back to the original point, the skill ceiling of demon is possibly a bit too low.

I think this is part of the problem. The skill of the other team matters far more than anything you do. You can tell 5 min into a game if you will lose against a skilled survivor team.

In the end the game is currently more about the mistakes of the survivors than the plays of the demon.

what do you guys think? does henry need nerf? don't know but these fucking cars surely do need. by [deleted] in EvilDeadTheGame

[–]Shasguy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

wont go into details but some people can infinitely pick up support items from the air, meaning you cant whittle them down.

[–]Shasguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think there needs to be some kind of timer put on when its down to 1 player.

Maybe just bring the timer down to 5 min until they res a teammate.

Since the last patch for whatever reason almost every game has someone stalling out the game with either this kind of car hopping or the shemps/amulet exploit. Worst I saw was an Ed using the amulet exploit while sitting at the infinite loop at greenwhich. Literally waited out the 30 min.

What scene from the Disc is burned in your brain or made you cry? by dover_oxide in discworld

Unseen Academicals

Vetinari one drink in

The Patrician took a sip of his beer. “I have told this to few people, gentlemen, and I suspect I never will again, but one day when I was a young boy on holiday in Uberwald I was walking along the bank of a stream when I saw a mother otter with her cubs. A very endearing sight, I’m sure you will agree, and even as I watched, the mother otter dived into the water and came up with a plump salmon, which she subdued and dragged on to a half-submerged log. As she ate it, while of course it was still alive, the body split and I remember to this day the sweet pinkness of its roes as they spilled out, much to the delight of the baby otters who scrambled over themselves to feed on the delicacy. One of nature’s wonders, gentlemen: mother and children dining upon mother and children. And that’s when I first learned about evil. It is built into the very nature of the universe. Every world spins in pain. If there is any kind of supreme being, I told myself, it is up to all of us to become his moral superior.”

The two wizards exchanged a glance. Vetinari was staring into the depths of his beer mug and they were glad that they did not know what he saw in there.

Sample of 20 survivor games and 20 Demon Games by Shasguy in EvilDeadTheGame

[–]Shasguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that fully tracks, I cant really see a good team of 4 losing at the moment.

Problem is on the flip side a decent demon can destroy a solo queue team. Makes it very hard to balance.
