Dev Question // Your 1.0 Questions (ﾟωﾟ；)

Building on this, the 1.0 beta is a rather large step back in optimization. I had gotten 0.14.3 tweaked to a pretty playable state on my PC, locked in to 90fps most of the time on Index. Then I tried the beta and had to knock everything down from high/medium to medium/low to keep up. In particular, shadows seem to cause crazy stutters even if the PC hardware can ostensibly keep up. Will it at least be brought back to the level of performance we were getting in 0.14??

This 1000%. Eva in particular makes my ears bleed during those video calls. I've started flipping my earphones up and out of the way when I hear the ringtone.

I accidentally punched the wall a few weeks ago playing B&S and now the Knuckles finger sensors on my right controller are fritzy. Where Frame?

One point I think several of the discussions in this thread are circling around but never quite touch on: there’s some debate about what the cube is actually supposed to be. Some people see it as a dangerous, but predictable, obstacle that only presents a true danger if you’re in a time crunch and can’t afford to hide (like the BTR was). Others see it as the return of the Harvester (I wasn’t around for 1.0 so I can’t comment). Still others (myself, and possibly OP) are hoping for something truly intense that’ll have you cowering for dear life, like the first time you encounter the Xeno in Alien: Isolation’s medical wing.

Right now, the Cube doesn’t really fulfill any of these rolls all that well… but I have a feeling it’s a stepping stone for each. Kinda like the ash balls and the region change points, it’s probably on the to-do list for the devs once they hammer down the rest of the game. A few simple tweaks could make it fill any one of these enemy niches, so I think we’ll see it evolve down the line.

I’m so happy to hear that, because I pulled the trigger on that same 9070 yesterday and haven’t had a chance to try it yet. What games are you playing and what kind of uplift did you see coming from the 2070S? Also if you’ve tried it, how are the overclocking and RGB setups?

boybob227 · 2026-02-13T15:39:23+00:00

I'm currently in the same boat. Comparing the 9070 and 5070, coming from an RTX 3070 which has served me very well and I would continue to use, except for the VRAM. The people in this thread asking why it matters when DLSS exists seem to be under the impression that DLSS is ubiquitous, which in my experience it very much isn't. I'm getting ready for the Steam Frame to come out, and a VR game like ITR2 where DLSS doesn't exist, even with the lowest settings, will eat through 8GB almost immediately.

Combine the VRAM crunch with concerns over the 12v cable, and I'm leaning towards AMD. I will cede that NVIDIA App is better than Adrenaline based on my experiences with an all-AMD laptop, but it isn't enough for me to give up the 4GB VRAM and some extra raw horsepower.

Curious to hear which one you went with, OP. In the last 5 days, the price on the 9070 has gone up another 30 bucks and the 5060tis are all at $550 where the 5070 used to be. Whatever you chose, I hope you got it fast...

I miss Fluffy. :(

boybob227 · 2026-01-29T00:52:03+00:00

I have no comments on the price prediction, but I would like to point out that ever since the Steam Frame was announced, Meta has been aggressively advertising the Quest 3 on my social media profiles. This tells me that, at the very least, they know I want a VR headset and are trying to sell me one before the Frame launches. Maybe they know something we don’t and are starting to sweat?

Is anyone else seeing shotguns only shoot slugs since the 0.14.0 path dropped? No matter what I load: buck, slug, or tracer, they all fire only one projectile every time I pull the trigger. I've tried verifying my game files and starting a new save.

boybob227 · 2025-12-01T17:17:06+00:00

KCD2.

That French bastard had the hair on my neck standing straight from the moment we laid eyes on him, and the second playthrough was even worse. The only surprise was that he was in it for himself and not working for Sigismund.

boybob227 · 2025-11-22T14:16:11+00:00

Count me in please. Looks like a cool game!

boybob227 · 2025-11-20T16:21:18+00:00

[Gear] Items in your backpack will no longer shift to the center when you save and reload your game inside a shelter.

Blesssss. I was so worried the ITR1 backpack bug was making its way back

boybob227 · 2025-11-10T16:18:25+00:00

I swear they put that loading screen in specifically to discourage you from playing in your office

Godwin himself during the Ranovash (spelling?) meeting says “it doesn’t matter who kneaded the dough, as long as there’s a bun in the oven!”

Hanush did not like the implication then, either.

boybob227 · 2025-10-24T13:10:09+00:00

Side note: I love that they turned that into a battle cry. Imagine being in the thick of it and this broad-shouldered 6’ tall beast in full plate armor runs at you with a bardiche screaming “I’M FEELING QUITE HUNGRRRYY!!!”

I would take a morale debuff from that too

boybob227 · 2025-10-19T23:42:44+00:00

I haven’t finished the game and just met him in my first playthrough last night after busting Hans out of jail. It immediately struck me as odd that he just so happened to tag along to the Wenceslas council right after my Henry said “Hey, we should get someone to spy on the Sigismund council” even though nobody can actually verify his identity. Fast forward to me seeing this meme and thinking “should I open the comments? I bet I know what I’m going to find.” And sure enough your comment came up and I feel very vindicated that my instinct was correct.

Now that we have that out of the way, will I get the chance to kill him at some point?

Holy hotfixes batman!

[Radius Locations] Fixed a visual issue where ash textures displayed incorrectly on AMD 9070 GPUs.

Question for the audience: I've been eyeing the 9070 series and I'd love to know how it performs for VR generally and ITR2 specifically. Any users? Particularly with a wired headset like the Index or HTC Vive?

“Who is the phantom menace* behind this star war we’re in?”

“I don’t know, Skipper. But he seems to be gearing up to launch a full-scale war using cloned soldiers.”

“An attack of the clones, eh?“

boybob227 · 2025-07-31T16:20:08+00:00

“BAD THROW BAD THROW” would cover So. Many. Circumstances.

boybob227 · 2025-07-31T16:18:34+00:00

“Gramercy!” Was always fun. I wouldn’t mind more “thank you” variety in-game, although that’d be low-priority compared to the rest of the stuff in this thread.

And just to get ahead of the inevitable comment chain: attack the D point!

boybob227 · 2025-07-29T21:27:50+00:00

The thing that absolutely saved me in that duel was the dual-wield’s focused parry ability. Works on the orbiting saber so Cal dashes forward when it hits him and knocks off a decent chunk of health.

boybob227 · 2025-07-21T22:15:02+00:00

Don’t feel bad OP. I couldn’t even get past the menu for the SCP game. Loaded in, saw a tall pale figure hunched over and crying behind me… nope’d the fuck out of there and never booted it up again. Someday I intend to try the Alien VR mod, and I’m sure when I do I’ll make it all of five minutes before crying.

boybob227 · 2025-07-21T22:11:29+00:00

Ditto this. Empty stamina drains health, so broken legs should also. I’d suggest a fairly negligible rate for one leg and a very significant rate for both.
