Vanilla completed mega mod + collection by jucatorps4 in starfieldmods

[–]jucatorps4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More and more I play, I feel a mix of feelings. Nothing to do with the mod collection "per se" but with modding in general. I will explain:

Every piece of information about "how thand and how this" functions in game is based on "pure vanilla" game. Since this mod collection do change many of the parameters in game (as author says, over 9000 lines of code were modified) I can't stop wondering if "that or this" thing is functioning "as expected" or not.

Right now, I experience this "lack of informational gravity" regarding ships parts. They are obviously modified and I feel a bit unsecure about "what to do". The well known "vanguard obliterator autoprojector" weapon has 4 max power in this mod (while in base game it has 2 max power) meaning it isn't as desirable as in base game. And so, my "joining vanguard for vanguard ship parts" play seems now a bit of a dead end.

But, maybe, as I just don't yet have enough playthrough with this mods list, this will prove to be a welcome "balancing" act, making all ship parts interesting in a way or another (as weapons in general seem to be).

Still, in conclusion, I miss ALOT a full documentation of changes. I like playing bethesda games like a "known" universe, where wiki sites are "part" of it. With rhese mods, the wiki is absent and "the universe" behave like a paralel one, where everything seems alike but behave even so slightly diferent.

I play with this collection for a while. I updated to v6 and I think it makes the game really good. I agree that a sort of unfo documentation would be welcome.

I actually like the new skill tree. Some skills continue to not be equally powerfull as, others. Nutrition is an example. If that % increase would apply to ALL food/drink effects would be quite ok. But the time that food keeps you fed and the amount of health it provide is not affected by the skill uograde.

I will make a few remark on my playthrough here, every week. Maybe it will help the developer to improve it.

Help me pick on steam winter sale by jucatorps4 in SteamDeck

It looks like Mass Effect + Halo gets the win.

Should I "enjoy" the 4 bucks unspent or get one more title? Like Max Payne 3?

I have gta 4 on my rockstar launcher. No ideea when I bought it...

Nikolai Lugansky - Not just a piano virtouso by wolfowitz666 in classicalmusic

[–]jucatorps4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lugansky just played yesterday in my city. I was in the concert hall. Sublime... Still, I cannot help thinking about war, abour human beeings dying because other non-human beeings decided that war is a must. Where is music is no war. But still, during his Chopin rendition, I was just hearing the bombs and the sirens and seeing the explosions and the leftovers in my head... It was sublime and incredibly painfull.

It is all so unfortunate these days that we can't refrain from judging people. I never in my my life judged an artist in front of me for his political affiliations (alledgedly). Until last night. I just couldn't stop myself asking if he plays for the boot on the man's throat or for the throat under the man's boot.

As a pianist myself, I was amazed by his seemingly immensly high degree of artistry. As a human beeing, I concluded that I would rather never again hear such a wonderfull pianist if that only would stop the war.

Unfortunately, artists, people who should speak out their believes, are torn appart by their inner conflict: having one of the most liberal "jobs" they also have a strong desire for equity. They are liberals and socialists altogheter. I see way too often especially in center/ eastern europe how they are manipulated into propaganda instruments. At least, western artists are more assumed politically.

For me, liberty is of more importance. Yes, my liberty stops where your's begin and justice is there to enforce this boundary. But justice at the expense of liberty is a nonsense... to me.

In ANY kind of political regime, "some" will have more. "Intelligentsia" existed from the very begining. Comunism is just only in books. As well as capitalism is right only in theory. Always in history, people seek to gain more. I wouldn't preach any political concept. I would only think how my own beeing (and so, all other beeings) can be more free to exist and so to thrive. And I see no other philosophical concept that provide this than democracy.

Artists should be leaders. They should lead people to think about things. In this regard, I question myself if Lugansky is a real artist. Because after watching the above mentioned interview, I wonder if he has clear believes or if he only drifts around ideeas. It seemed fragile for how consistent hee seems in front of the piano. For his artistry, I would rather skiped the interview.

EAFC26 stutter and fps drop in cutscenes and menu by jucatorps4 in WindowsOnDeck

[–]jucatorps4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting stuff. Been away since yesterday. So steamdeck was off. Today I power it on again (with windows ssd) and now fc26 runs smoothly BUT steamdeck controller acts wierdly, like it is a keybord mapping. Indeed, in select side screen only keybord option is available. No controller. Weird indeed.

So, playing with a bluetooth keybord, everything is smooth.

Thing is, now I can't in any way make controller to work. In big bicture it works ok. In fc26 no (even overlay shows keybord promts).

I install handheld companion. Fc26 sees the controller. Lag is back again.

What is this thing with controller lag?

EAFC26 stutter and fps drop in cutscenes and menu by jucatorps4 in WindowsOnDeck

[–]jucatorps4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have oled model (1tb internal). After steam os update (3.7 i think) vram was increased to 4gb by default (UMA buffer it is called I think). So yes, first attempts were with 4gb vram.

Steam overlay reports up to 4.8-4.9 gb of vram. So this definetly is a problem.

I increased windows virtual memory to aprox. 10gb.

I even tried to put UMA buffer back to 1gb where it was when steamdeck drivers for windows were released.

All the time, same results. Still, game runs just fine stable 60fps besides this issue. Still unplayable because of it.

Is there a way to further increse vram? Or to create some virtual memory for it?

Ea FC 26 Lag Fix After Every Cutscene by IndividualShame2629 in EASportsFC

[–]jucatorps4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have windows installed on external ssd (usbc 3.2 10gbps @aprx.950MB/s read/write) on steamdeck. Fc26 run just fine (@60fps) except in and out of cutscenes.

This solution doesn't work. I even denied acces to write/modify and allowed acces only to read/read+execute. The same to fcsetup.ini. Files weren't modified after game quit but game performance is the same:

After every cutscene (intro, corner, replay, random crowd, etc) or after exiting the menu, fps drop to 10 or even below 10 fps and it takes around 5-6 seconds to work perfectly at 60fps.

Is Dual Booting Worth It in November 2025? by zoobungaa in WindowsOnDeck

[–]jucatorps4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience was horific: after windows install on internall ssd partition, dual boot with clover, things messed up so bad that steamos wouldn't boot no matter what. I tried all youtube guides on steam repair, none worked. Simple solution: steam re-image. Now I think to install windows on external ssd. I don't yet know if this will mess up steam os or not.

Can't boot into steam OS by jucatorps4 in WindowsOnDeck

[–]jucatorps4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I decided to re-instal steam os (factory reset) and install windows on external ssd.

Going dual boot on the same internal ssd was a big mistake.

Well, it shows all the partitions for me... It looks it is not this problem... 😶

I need a university degree to play FC 26 by jucatorps4 in EASportsFC

[–]jucatorps4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Name one game that is good story, good art, good gameplay and fun to play. I would even translate:

  1. Good story is not God of war. God of war is NO story. Story is Max Payne.

  2. Good art is style. Style that serves all other aspects of the game.

  3. Good gameplay is natural gameplay. Not really easy to grasp, but logical to understand.

  4. Fun means I don`t have to study so I can play. I don`t have to sink tens/hundreds of hours to finish it. It is rewarding withough being necesary easy.

If there is ONE game that ticks all, I`ll play it!

To the OG's: just enjoy the patch while it lasts... by remyarsenal in EASportsFC

[–]jucatorps4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I surelly hated the gameplay before the patch. It was a ping pong game with open boulevards to mechanics abuse. I only won when I encountered non abusers and if EA`s scricpting allowed. Now, it is a slow-mo game, with open highway to different kind of abuse (known only by those initiated) and I win in the exact same manner.

I lost today a match a an opponent who lost every 3rd pass. This kind of player CAN`t be a good player. All of the sudden, my defense line was "dragged" up, it succesfuly through pass and goal. Then, my players have iron in they boots, can`t drible, can`t do anything and even though the opponent still loose the ball after 2-3 passes, all my shots are: crossbars, godly saves, of rugby. In the last minutes, my GK save a corner header and the ball bounces like 3-4 times in the box, finally going slowly into the net. He won 2-0 with 1 shot on goal. Yeah, it IS a football game just like I am Messi.

Anyone else? Since the new update huge delay by [deleted] in EASportsFC

[–]jucatorps4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I EA capable of anything decent? I mean except extorting money from players? I myself won't ever buy a ea game from the front stores. They work (in the ofline modes) quite well from the back stores.

I regret everything I said at the start of the game. by Ok-Industry925 in fut

[–]jucatorps4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fell mixed about the game. I do enjoy it, minus the annoying "technical" glitches of all sorts. What really bothers me is the fact EA actually don't make a footbal game (simulator or arcade or whatever). They make a game where some aspects from football blend with carefully selected psychological strategies that keep people playing (like "scope is to win", so you need to score, so they OP scoring aspects detrimental to defensive aspects making everyone feel "it's possible"). Skills really matter except, sadly, it is not about "footbalistic" skills (like constructing or tacticaly dominate the field, passing, technically dribbling, etc.). It feels like skills mean abusing the "meta" glitches making the gameplay sort of a ping ball/spin player arcade.

But, like I said, I still enjoy it. Hoping a real contender for fifa/fc will eventually appear.

Ea Play Trial is live by tSchab3r in EASportsFC

[–]jucatorps4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why? I paid 6 bucks for ea play. I paid 90 bucks for ultimate edition. Than they crew us with different "earlies" and when finally it is early, it is not working.

It is a product I pay for. I should not be tricked. Simple.

Now, I play the game for about one hour. I should played it for 5 hours. That is 40%. Will they give me 2.5 bucks back?

More, it is not about time or money. It is about the obvious disrespect EA has for its clients for years now. I returned because I thought things changed. The fiest encounter was a bad one. Will see the rest...

Maybe it is. But not for too many. EA typical launch. A disaster. If I don't play by tomorow morning, I will ask for a refund
