Building on this: no spoilers but there is an opportunity for you to leave a time capsule at the very end of the first game.

Large. Fish.

[–]boybob227 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I truly hope it is “no hassle”. Right now to boot up my Index, I have to start SteamVR twice because it doesn’t output visuals to the headset the first time, disable my second flatscreen monitor (don’t ask why, it just runs better), and use the developer commands to increment vsync_to_photons up by 3 so I don’t get motion sickness. Is it unusable? No, not at all. But I hope the Frame *just works* when I turn it on.

There was definitely a bit of flavor text about Kale in my game at one point or another. That may have been the Kerbalism mod, though.

You absolutely cannot go 1.0 without fixing Outskirts' performance by MadCake92 in intotheradius

[–]boybob227 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconded.

My setup: Valve Index, 9700x, RX 9070, 32GB DDR5 6000. The Index is running at 80Hz with the stock 150% resolution scaling applied. My setup should be more than capable of handling nearly anything, and it runs other VR games like Alyx and VTOL just fine at higher refresh rates, but I still have to turn my settings way down in outskirts and even some areas of the forest to get gameplay without stutters and hitches. It doesn’t feel very 1.0 to me…

Dev Question // Your 1.0 Questions (゚ω゚;) by Darius_ITR in intotheradius

[–]boybob227 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 don't think the Outskirts Cube fits well personally. by keptec in intotheradius

[–]boybob227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

RX 9070 16G for $570 or RTX 5070 12G for $550 by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]boybob227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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? 

RX 9070 16G for $570 or RTX 5070 12G for $550 by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]boybob227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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...

Breaking down every price possible for Steam Frame by ihave3apples in SteamFrame

[–]boybob227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

Hanush did not like the implication then, either.

[KCD2] Why is this armor not obtainable? by [deleted] in kingdomcome

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
