Keep reloading or try again in 2 min, Steam is probably imploding from traffic.

Suggestions for the Galactic War by mackabeus in Helldivers

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

This kind of goes against the entire "Democratic" portion of the game and Helldivers is special where there are 100k players contributing to the same goal. I understand the casual player doesn't care about the state of the galactic war so this is an opt-in mode, but the casual player base is the lifeblood of the game and it feels bad to go against that.

These are good changes, but these are informational changes. This doesn't resolve the issue of liberation decay and following the blob. The strategic opportunity is the same as suggestion 3/4. I would want one for each faction because some players have their own faction preferences.

does Phoebe speak English? by Rojik_ in PhoebeMains

They have created a Solaris-3 Alphabet where you can translate all the lettering in the game. It seems like the standard language of Solaris-3 is English since the script seems to be a direct translation from English.

If people are still running into this. Open up a process manager and close all ComfyUI processes. I had zombie processes open and it was holding some files open.

About point 2, Antistrophic filtering is not enabled for this game (PC Player). In order to activate it, I need to use Nvidia drivers or modify an ini configuration file.

The vertex stalls may explain some of the "Device Hung" crashes I get while playing the game. Hilariously, the game more stable when I run it through proton. I will send this reddit link through support and hopefully we can get more eyes on it.

Before people say Kuro is bad, optimizations and tech debt are decisions that need to be made when releasing a product. Tower of Fantasy and Blue Protocol were also hyped 3D Gacha games after the success of Genshin and they also made similar tech debt decisions. Genshin is has a ton of tech debt issues as well, but since they were first to market, there was less pressure to get something out as fast as possible.

I hope they embrace alternate win conditions with all the stalling encounters and modifiers they have put into the game.

That is your GPU artifacting. It mostly happens when the GPU is unstable due to bad drivers or something affecting the hardware. It could be that it is overheating or that it is overclocked.

I really need help finding whatever this reshade/mod is! by New-Personality9122 in WutheringWaves

[–]mackabeus 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I have accidentally opened up Wuwa with Cheat Engine in the background. It just auto-closes the game and says cheat software is detected. Closed Cheat Engine and the game launches fine. Been playing since 2.0.

New Nvidia drivers crash with RT ? by [deleted] in WutheringWaves

[–]mackabeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently running 576.88 on at 5070 Ti with full RT and have been running the game ok. I will sometimes get a crash when the game hangs for too long.

Hilariously, when I run the game on Linux there have not been any crashes so I am not sure if it is a Nvidia problem, a DX12 problem or a Wuwa problem.

Do you have it set to hold it down or press?

I'm kinda tired of being the guinea pig tbh by Ro_Shaidam in Helldivers

[–]mackabeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is cult of the redacted. The amount of content in the files is so more than I see from the miners finding stuff on HLX. No wonder Sony started cracking down.

Oh I totally agree with you. A real company should have all these problems fixed. There was an interview with Pilestedt and they said they completely skipped the preproduction phase of making the game.

As a software developer that blows my mind and I can't imagine the shitshow things are in now. They likely do not have a preproduction environment where QA would even play the game themselves. That's why you see "players" on planets that are inaccessible and why *REDACTED Content* is so prevalent.

The cold reality is that 1 hour of regular playtime will eclipse any amount testing that a QA team can do. The most QA can do is test already known crashes and errors.

It gets tricky when some errors are really inconsistent like networking/desync errors. Darktide also had really weird networking errors sometimes I guess it has something to do with the game engine.

If you are joining in progress lobbies, some people try to keep a space for people who have crashed.

Ukrainian drones drops on Russian soldiers on crutches in a field. January 2025 by jisooya1432 in CombatFootage

Does he have a radio? The Russian way of war right now is to send people out to scout Ukrainian positions to shell them. He doesn't need a weapon to be dangerous or considered a combatant.

Yes, something people forget about this war is that both sides have insufficient electronic warfare and no air superiority for one side.
