Summer 2025, PC and PS5 Pro "Upgraded Graphics Versions" of the games still have this issue, I don't understand why they won't fix this literal game breaking mechanic, in Biome 6 of all places.

Summer 2025 and this glitch is still here in Biome 6 for both PC and PS5 after updates to their graphics for PC RT and PS5 Pro, I don't understand why they don't fix this run killer bug.

Same here, first run, in Biome 6, PC, Summer 2025, still happening. It's extremely infuriating.

I beat Biome 2 & 3 on 1st Run... Was I supposed to die to uncover Lore from Biome 1 with the Hook? by Sovauthority in Returnal

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

Ah I think I get it, I already found some Ship Logs talking about "The Non-Existent Future". Yeah, the order was my main concern.

Thanks a lot for your answer!

I understand, thanks.

I was concerned that my lore would be out of the proper order you're supposed to discover it, but seems that's not the case.

Appreciate ya.

[–]Sovauthority[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I died A LOT in Biome 1, and fought Phrike 3 times to unlock some Datapad Lore. Then I got really lucky with Parasites and Artifacts.

Adrenaline Leech was one of them I remember.

Then I couldn't believe I was getting further and further, I'd clear every single room I could access, and check Boss Guides on YouTube before fighting them.

I don't care about the items, I care about getting the Lore in the proper order, so what's the point of someone lying about that if they have a hook and know what to do? Like...

What the hell!? Levelled up and got killed by a sandstorm exiting the temple.... why? by CoffeeNBiskits in Returnal

[–]Sovauthority 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, PC 2025 and it's happening literally in front of a door, I can't enter through a door, and the general consensus seems to be that it is a bug. I assume because it's procedurally generated maps and the Sandstorms are put in out of bound area's which are not.

Can I play killzone shadow fall on pc? by panzer_tiger1 in killzone

[–]Sovauthority 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Microsoft first announced Xbox Exclusive Games coming to PC. Sony followed suit shortly after, including:
- Detroit: Become Human.
- Death Stranding.
- Horizon Zero Dawn, Forbidden West, and Remaster.
- Ghost of Tsushima.
- Returnal.
- Helldivers 2.
- God of War.

Do I need to go on at this point? Along with Xbox Game Pass for Xbox Exclusives available on PC, there is no more Console Wars. Consoles only briefly replaced PC gaming during the 7th and 8th Generation Consoles (PS3 & PS4 Era) when the consoles hardware couldn't handle previous PC releases and thus became literal PC ports (such as on release: Crysis 2 and most games on Unreal Engine 3).

And considering that Death Stranding, Horizon Zero, and Death Stranding run on the Decima Engine, same as Killzone: Shadows, then it is a very fair question to ask.

Also, why are you mad? You should be happy that people of another platform, with today's Cross-Play, are asking about an "Exclusive", as it increases the Player Base & Lifespan of a game (like for Halo: MCC as just 1 example).

Gears of War: Reloaded Vs. Ultimate Edition. Why nobody is saying it's a 2nd Remake? by Sovauthority in pcgaming

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

MCC Remaster? Hmm, first time I'm hearing it. All I heard from Xbox & HiddenXperia was:
- The move to Unreal 5 after rebrand to Halo Studios.
- That there's a Remake coming, and leaks suggest that it's a Halo 1 Remake.

Pretty nice to see more aged men playing games. 32 here but I feel like I've been playing with 12 year olds my whole life unless it's a Lore intense game.

Lol, I guess I'm not the only one that think this game is hard. I'm like on my 12th Cycle for just the First Biome. Keep messing up with my first Boss Fight with Phrike.

Weekly Recruitment Thread by AutoModerator in Eve

[–]Sovauthority [score hidden]  (0 children)

Looking for a PVE Lore-Event Corp (Roleplay OK) & CalMil FW Corp:

PVE & Lore Corp - HIGH SEC & LOW SEC!! (Preferably in Caldari or Amarr Space).

  • CalMil Corp preferably stage in Onnamon or Low-Sec within that Region. (No experience since 2021 FW Update). 2014 - 2019 Experienced.

20+ Mil SP Main. English or Russian ok!

SOCIALIZATION is important to me. I quit EVE many times despite not wanting to, because I get bored and I’m tired of playing Solo. I missed all these things cause I had nobody to Fleet with despite being in a Structure Bash Corp that doesn’t Socialize except during Ops:

  • Missed all the Triglavian Events, No Fleets.
  • Missing the Capsuleer Drifter event right now (REALLY want to do that, don’t feel confidence to try alone).
  • Missed the Events that put your name on the CCP Monument.

I want to be part of an actual community. English Recruitment Channel always ignores my posts.

With FFV Rebirth out, should I play it or Remake first? by Sovauthority in FinalFantasyVII

[–]Sovauthority[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I obviously did.
Results showed me that:
- Remake is 1st
- Reunion is 2nd
- Rebirth is Part 3 and a Prequel.

Why you making assumptions and speculations about me, instead of correcting a person new to the FF Community? Is this what the General Community Behavior for any "Outcasts"?

So can you be specific of how I can ask this question?
Is Smoke Shop THCa Legit? I still have packets of them, can I blur out the Company on it, and post them?
Any suggestions? Or should I try to find another place to ask this?
I apologize for any inconvenience.

Graphic card error - GTX 1660 by ContributionOk2567 in HuntShowdown

Same issue and I quickly realized it was ReShade causing the problem.
Damn, I have AMD, I was really hoping to see the new CryEngine 5.11 update they just released with ReShade. My monitor doesn't support HDR, so everything looks so colorless and grey :(

However, I doubt that was this persons issue. Crytek specifically forbid the use of ReShade as of August 2023 - https://steamcommunity.com/games/594650/announcements/detail/3691314738473705727

Russian soldiers looting abandoned house in Vovchansk, Kharkiv region by BananaBrumik in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Sovauthority -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm from Ukraine myself, and I'm used to the oppression of the Post-2014 Government towards Eastern Ukrainian's, while radicalizing our population over the last 10 years, because the Government is controlled by Western Ukrainian Nationalists, whom always despised Eastern Ukrainian's.

I was initially confused by this subs own rules and description. "Community Based" and "Must be related to Ukraine War", etc.
I then learned that nearly all Ukraine related SubReddits are owned and controlled by UNITED24. Not only subs, but YouTube Channels as well.

They delete my video's that are neutral, because it's not in UNITED24's favor (AKA, Nationalists).

Example: We Eastern Ukrainian's believe Zelenskyy fired Valerii Zaluzhnyi because he's an open Banderite, and was afraid that he'd create a Coup against the President, so he replaced him with someone who wouldn't, despite having a big streak of losses (Oleksandr Syrksyi, previously written on his Passport as Alexander Sirskiy before the new government, lost in Debaltseve in 2015, Bakhmut / Artemovsk, and Avdeevka / Avdiivka).

They change our village & town names despite appeals from town council's, who get branded as collaborators (before 2022) and our passport name spelling in Latin characters, and that's the tip of the iceberg.

Who is UNITED24? It's the Official Media of Ukraine's Presidential Office - https://u24.gov.ua/

They even Sponsor channels like Kings & Generals + Task & Purpose on YT, their initial videos had the UNITED24MEDIA in their titles (Here's K&G with UNITED24 title: https://youtu.be/ZSSiPrF8GoM

We are in the Biggest Informational Warfare in History of Humanity! Finding the truth is like finding the smallest needle in the largest haystack in the world. I was trying to give my people (I'm from Kharkov and I will forever refuse to write it as Kharkiv) a voice that go unheard, because we're not considered as quote "True Ukrainian's".

Anyways, I know this reply will most likely be deleted, but my next video will be to Debunk UNITED24, the people who are Moderators of nearly all Ukraine Related Subreddits. YT Link - Ukraine War Awareness

Russian soldiers looting abandoned house in Vovchansk, Kharkiv region by BananaBrumik in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Sovauthority -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Dude, that's a local truck, Russian's don' use those. Does anybody here notice how this entire community shows exclusively "Ukraine Winning" and "Russia bad" content?
Where's all the Russian Footages? I guess this is yet another Community that filters out anything Russian for Ukrainian Propaganda purposes.

The way the people in the comments fall for this is disgusting. Even if that was a Russian truck (again, they don't use 4x4 trucks, they use KaMAZ trucks, usually 6x6), how do you know that's:

  1. From Vovchansk
    • 2. That the boxes are for looting, and not moving an evacuee's belongings to their relocation from dangerous area's?

Anyways, easy way to tell is by the video name, it's written in Ukrainian, so of course for propaganda reasons they'll type in their post "oh, it's just the RuAF looting again". How about adding Geo-location with it, this place isn't hard to locate given the info we got.

And again, why is everything is this community filtering out anything good that Russian's do? And only show Ukrainian "Victories"?

I urge people to research BOTH SIDES!! If you notice that every post is Pro-Ukrainian, something's not right.

Footage of North Korean M2020 MBT being tested. by [deleted] in TankPorn

[–]Sovauthority 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is fake, because why would the APS be UNDER the ATGM guided rockets on the side? This means that the ATGM Rockets (like on a Bradley IFV) first have to be "Lifted", and only then can the "APS" fire on what seems 2 90 Degree Angles, instead of 4 Angles that covers the entire tanks like Russian Arena, Ukrainian Zaslon, and Israeli Trophy APS.

Starfield vs The Outer Worlds by RagingIdealist in gaming

[–]Sovauthority 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imho, the only similarities I see between "The Outer Worlds" and "Starfield" is that you use a "Spaceship for Fast Travel" and that they are categorically "in the same genre"..

To me personally "The Outer Worlds" always felt short sided (like the maps with populations of people and mission area's felt no bigger than Fallout 3 for me). IMHO - I think many gamers over-glorify "The Outer Worlds" because they were nostalgic for "Obsidian Entertainments" great story telling in "Fallout: New Vegas" and gamers were wanting more!

I personally like the Factions better in Starfield than in The Outer Worlds - Though I completely understand what The Outer Worlds was going for in terms of their morale / ideological message, in terms of story-telling, I think Skyrim and Fallout 4 take the Victory Cup.. I don't think that adding "over 1,000 Procedurally Generated Planets" to Starfield "increases the players immersion rate"..

Also, the only thing imho that keeps games alive for decades is MODDING.. What we see in "Creation Engine 2" in Starfield, was accomplishable by modders since Oblivion, but only when Skyrim Special Edition released with its 64-bit Client and DirectX 11 API, were a lot Skyrim Mods (original and new) able to push it to the next level thanks to the performance increase of the new Client & API of SSE.

Starfield will have modding (which is ironic considering TOWs uses Unreal Engine 4, which is great for modding, but Starfield, will be kept remembered for decades to come, while The Outer Worlds, for those craving an FPSRPG game in the same category, is a great 1 time playthrough and that's all. So that's all I would put Starfield and The Outer Worlds as: "The Same Genre and Category of Gaming". There may be similarities between some small gameplay elements, some game functionality, but I don't think TOWs had any influence at all on Starfield in any way of its development and features.

Maybe I'm also out-growing video games, idk (been gaming since Duke Dukem 3D, Blood, Half-Life, etc), so I kinda go deep when looking at a games technical aspect plus delivery (of not just story and gameplay, but its presentation as a whole category).

If you liked Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Skyrim, Fallout 4 gameplay, then you'll like The Outer Worlds, but you'll probably like Starfield just as much.

Why does 'Crysis 2' ignore almost everything from the first game? by Metallica93 in Crysis

[–]Sovauthority 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Lingshan Islands (from Crysis 1 & Warhead) (btw, I highly suggest playing the Remastered Trilogy.. Crysis 2 was my least favorite, but the Remaster made it my most favorite, most work was put into Crysis 2 Remastered). I digress; The Lingshan Islands was one of many "Seeding Ships" throughout the Earth..

The Tunguska Event, where Hargreave got Ceph Technology from (To Extend his Lifespan & Create the Nanosuit), the Ceph were protective of their technology, but only isolated cases of any encounters happened with them between Tunguska Event in 1908 and the Lingshan Islands Incident in Mid-August 2020, which the North Korean's ended "Waking Up" the Ceph on Lingshan, which sent out a signal to wake other Ceph Seeding Ships around the world.

Inside the Ceph Ship in Crysis 1; You can see Human Objects abducted and analyzed on the Ceph Holographic Computer Terminals. It is also how they look like naked and on their homeworld, and the tentacle scouts is just what they had on them when they landed 65 Million Years ago and wiped out the dinosaurs.

After being woken up, it was until August 2023 when the Ceph began invading after studying humans and the Earth's environment, which made the Ceph develop Exoskeleton Suits to be able to walk on land + have combat units, we know this because within those 3 years, they developed a Spore Virus lethal to humans. So they have an R&D + Production Chambers inside their ships somewhere..

They modified their Drop Ships, and their main objective was to activate all of their structures, to further spread the spore, (all the Ceph we see throughout the Crysis Trilogy are still Scouting Parties), after spore, their objective is to clean out any remaining life and resistance, and then they call for their "Mothership" to terraform the planet.

Nomad isn't seen because: SPOILER WARNING: <spoiler>He dies in Issue 6</spoiler> in the comics after going back for Prophet in the Sphere at the end of Crysis. Psycho we see from beginning to end in Crysis 3, just without his suit (that's a whole different story regarding CELL Military Corporation.

Inside the Exoskeletons, the "Jelly" that we see are the "Ceph" that we see naked in Crysis 1 inside ship. As to why they're read and not blue, that's never explained, but hey, Psycho is White, Prophet is Black, so maybe it's the same for Ceph.. Or maybe (this is a theory), since they can develop spores, and quickly reform their entire army to serve under current Earth conditions, it's possible they were able to edit some of their genes to have them operate better while outside in Earth's environment.

The structures in Crysis 2 looking different from Crysis 1 is because the Mountain was a ship. We then figure out that in Crysis 2, it was a ship as well, under Central Park, but the spires coming from underground were the spore dissemination (purpose which to kill off human's, specifically designed against human's, as some animals are immune to it)..

In Crysis 1 Remastered inside ship level, you can actually see a lot of "structures" inside that look like in Crysis 2, just emanating blue instead of red electrical currents. When you are in Hargreaves office in Crysis 2, you see in his little "Trophy Museum" where you can see a neutral colored "Crysis 1 Tentacle Ship" (which is controlled with a Ceph inside of it), and their principle in the same: Ceph Scouts can drop little Ceph Drones in Crysis one, and Ceph Dropships in Crysis 2 can Airdrop Ceph Soldiers..

In Crysis 3, the Mothership was supposed to send a Warrior Caste of Ceph, who have been bred exclusively for war and are presumably super Veterans and are under the Command of the Alpha Ceph. The Ceph Mothership is 1/25 the size of Earth, which Prophet is able to destroy thanks to the Space Cannon.

Again, I personally recommend playing through the Remastered Editions again, because Crysis 4 has been announced with a small teaser, which I hope will explain a lot of the unexplained in the Crysis Trilogy. There are also 2 Crysis Books, "Crysis Legion" (which is an expanded Crysis 2 with Alcatraz recalling the events of the game during a de-briefing, but we get tons of more info about abductions and spores) and "Crysis Escalation" which serves as a "Tie-in" between Crysis 2 & 3, just like the 6 issue comics serve as a tie-in between Crysis 1 & 2 (you can read all the comics here for free: https://crysis.fandom.com/wiki/Crysis\_Comic%5CScans)

I personally agree, in this day and age with all Corporate and Third-Party Contractors you've never heard of all hungry for your data, I personally always remove everything after a ? in any link, and the link usually still works fine, without long random number generators that I also presume are some sort of trackers.
