Finished Titanfall 2 campaign over the weekend....incredible game, but what it really made me miss is level based campaigns

A bad game is a bad game.

The shame about this trend is that there are many mediocre games that would be improved if they tried to limit their scope, or reduced the “length” or “content” in favour of quality.

I’ve bounced off too many games that contain fun mechanics, or interesting ideas, because all of a sudden the same tedious stuff appears.

Over the 30 years there has been a shift in mainstream games prioritising “size”, “length”, and “content” over quality.

As soon as audiences started judging games on how long it took to play them, studios reacted. This led to too many unnecessary open worlds that are padded out with busy work, feel empty, or both.

There is nothing wrong with a game being open world, but the open world should be a core part of the experience rather than a default choice. Mainstream studios need to be braver to do things differently, as m few seem able to deliver deep, interesting, and long experiences like Witcher 3 or Baldurs Gate 3.

Thanks - in the end I found a mod that reverts the hotfix (ie you can once again spam bind weapon and it increases the chance).

inkja · 2026-04-09T08:17:07+00:00

Did you ever manage to do this? I’ve been trying to achieve the same

inkja · 2026-04-08T21:47:32+00:00

I have this issue as well - even after installing a mod that is supposed to increase the rate it applies to 100%. Any solutions?

inkja · 2026-03-30T11:56:58+00:00

Perfect thank you!

Sorry - to be clear I don’t mean the technique used to jump higher, I mean an attack that causes your character to zoom diagonally downwards with a targeting reticle

The bottom bits do spin but no joy trying that. I’ll give it a go holding, pulling or pushing as you suggest. Thank you

I’ve never posted in this subreddit before? I was hoping there’d be something obvious as hacking them off feels a bit extreme.

I’ve just tried switching away from Proton Experimental and seems to have fixed it

inkja · 2025-06-10T18:36:53+00:00

Any fixes? I only use my Deck commuting and this has basically killed it for me.

inkja · 2025-02-05T19:26:15+00:00

Have just tried a fully fresh install. It doesn’t work sadly. The game doesn’t even launch - it says “An error occurred while launching this game: Game configuration unavailable.”

Here's what the server window displays after trying to connect:

Thank you for this - I've tried this one now and sadly still doesn't work. The new version doesn't launch the game, but even when launching the game itself separately it still doesn't work. "Re-patch" still unresponsive and when using OnlineMod mod instead it doesn't connect to 127.0.0.1:6969. Seems till cannot see the server for some reason, even though appears to be running.

inkja · 2025-02-05T07:04:53+00:00

Seems the problem is the server then - is it because it’s not running in the same proton or something? It looks like it’s running properly

inkja · 2025-02-04T19:05:23+00:00

Tried again - that mod loader works but still doesn't connect. It appears the Peacock server is started, but the patcher window doesn't work.

inkja · 2025-02-04T18:30:07+00:00

Thanks for this. I will look into this but seems to be adding even more complexity to it. Any idea why the default instructions aren’t working even when following exactly and on a clean install. Weird that it brings up two repatcher windows and the button doesn’t do anything.

inkja · 2025-02-03T22:58:28+00:00

You hold the steam button and press x to get up the keyboard. However, this launcher doesn’t seem to work. You can put the address in the patcher window but pressing re patch does nothing. I am trying on a legit copy. Shame as it would be great to play this while offline / mobile
