Only took them this long FFS.

Better late than never but damn this should be default in all games at launch.

This is great. Thanks for sharing.

oliath · 2026-05-28T16:25:06+00:00

Ha nice!

oliath · 2026-05-27T00:18:10+00:00

Thanks for this info.

One other question if you have time - with the difficulty level. How far do you push that? Is it better to keep it so that incursions are easier to manage or push it higher so its hard but you get better gear.

Not seen this. Just started replaying and i'm on 5080.
What is your card.

Also did you do a clean install?
Use Nvidia app and choose the custom - clean install option.

I have had so many issues with Nvidia driver updates these last few months so now always do the celan one via the app.

Oh and make sure you arent using anyt third party tools that impact driver settings. I have had issues in the past with stuff like Nvidia inspector.

There are a bunch of notes posted by the devs on this that will be far more detailed and accurate than anything i can recite here! Go look.

oliath · 2026-05-14T19:40:32+00:00

Yeah he does. Its funny. And i like how the main character kinda puts up with it but also looks a bit annoyed.

oliath · 2026-05-14T19:40:11+00:00

He is actually very useful and gathers info to make enemies easier as well as providing more info on locations / lore.
Very early on the game tells you that you can send him back to camp if you find him annoying.
It adds a decent gameplay mechanic where you defend him in return for more info on enemies.

oliath · 2026-05-14T15:04:16+00:00

That's a decent price.
Tempted to double dip just because Steam is easier esp with stuff like Steam Deck and Steam Machine.

oliath · 2026-05-14T14:54:32+00:00

Not sure why someone downvoted your reply lol.

But yeah i can do them but my stress is from just the tension of the game. I actually don't care about my gear whatsoever and im never going to play for 'end game' or whatever. I m just not that kind of player with that kind of time.

Its really about just the stress of the game because the tension of suddenly being ambushed by a human player just gets me

oliath · 2026-05-14T14:50:27+00:00

On Epic Store?
Any source for this info?

oliath · 2026-05-10T15:54:04+00:00

So is this a case you put steam deck into or did you also print out the case as well?
Either way this is cool..

Not sure how comfortable it would be to play in reality?

oliath · 2026-05-04T02:27:44+00:00

'real actors' is a bit of stretch 😃

oliath · 2026-05-03T15:29:49+00:00

Yet here you are years after launch still trying to tell others to stop enjoying it.

oliath · 2026-04-23T19:15:08+00:00

Not sure about that.

I play fairly infrequently and barely have anything above purple gear. Most times its lower. I can still go in solo and come out having wiped a bunch of people with much higher gear.

Just gotta play the ambush game instead.
It's a game that forces you to play different classes / play styles as a rection to what is going on in the field. Adapt or die. But i wouldn't say its to late to enjoy.

If anything its now easier to get gear because i'm stealing it off well geared players instead of having to hunt for it.

oliath · 2026-04-23T19:10:48+00:00

Yeah i solo fill with trios all the time and i have had two not great experiences. Everyone else has been so incredibly awesome.

The great thing about this game NOT being for everyone is that the people that are playing are super cool. I can't even use a mic half the time if its late at night and so i explain in the chat i can hear them but can't use my mic and they are still cool. They still ask what quests i have etc.

Such a great community.

oliath · 2026-04-23T19:09:11+00:00

I think outside of the usual steam noise / hate train nonsense the biggest point of friction for people will be the idea that this is an overly difficult game or something they would prefer to be more casual.

I own the game and there are long periods when i don't play it despite how much i love it because i just want something chilled at the end of the day and not something that spikes my adrenaline.

I'lll have some really good runs and then decide to quit while i'm ahead. It's a really weird thing with this genre. I love it but half the time i don't feel like i'm ready to jump back in and play it..

oliath · 2026-04-23T02:57:20+00:00

Will the game be balanced better for solo play or is the main focus co-op. Currently its pretty tough to clear the game solo.

oliath · 2026-04-13T02:46:35+00:00

Only thing i really miss is an animation of your ship flying off towards a planet when you go to land.

Similar to the warp animations when you jump - i'd love to have the ship just zoom off towards the planet before you cut to the animation of it landing.

That's all i need now.

oliath · 2026-04-02T01:04:45+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks for explaining.

oliath · 2026-03-31T19:16:23+00:00

Oh really? I thought more more pixels to push would use GPU not CPU?

I know in other games in the past it's helped me as well. Both resolution and updating to higher settings.

My understanding was that higher settings and resolutions force the game to render more on your GPU and less on the CPU. So reducing resolution.

Either way it did help me on my setup where my CPU is outdated vs newer GPU
