Fair enough

Are you perhaps using custom costumes / mods that might not be loading correctly? Oh wait, you're trying to load costume FILES. Could simply be the difference between a file saved before / after an update...or just a random glitch like mentioned.

Not having navigated to said sections, I would agree that I'd be initially confused as to what "Fort Trident" was for. Perhaps a (sub-title) to be added.

Well after 20s of videos in a year, I think he might be alternatively known as the Defiler of Linens and probably bots his follower count like a balloon. 😛

10s in and Nope, he just likes to self-congratulate.

Yeah, I figured there was Something, but it's been a minute or 10 since I've played.

It would be nice to have more options, so long as Other players have the option to hide their names (to avoid visual clutter). This may already be a thing, but I wanted to point it out.

I guess my main beef is the fact that a lot of interaction requires you to push R3 for interaction and yet you Also use adjacent buttons for Other interactions, so it's a little weird, but the R3 seems to be primary and there are many aspects that probably rely (tool tip wise) on you not changing it. I Do find it hard to read the icons / button prompts sometimes as they could have done better with the coloration during those events. Mostly during the eating mini-game.

Well considering I've had a magnifier app on my phone for several generations now. I kinda had to do it. Well, that and it's just so much easier to Win-+/- vs messing up the zoom level of the actual app you're in. 😛

I like my monitor, but I also heavily use the Windows Zoom function (now have it set to load at startup in background).

I didn't see a thread for this specifically, so why not. I played the 2 hr demo on PS5 and coming from the less DND versions of the series (Dark Alliance?) I found the game a bit slower and a tad unnecessarily complicated. Again, that's a difference in game design for those who've played the one and are curious about this one. The CC is pretty elaborate, but is lacking a few customizations that Cyberpunk had. TBH, I think it semi-spoils part of the game's story later (didn't get that far of course) as it has you customize something about the game that you don't initially get to experience / utilize. I'm sure it'll be a good game overall, but I'm not quite ready to invest in it.

I eventually gave up on it and instead went for these as an alternative replacement:

Assuming anybody reads these (since they're obviously not reading the group post), here's the final update.

For those who haven't played in a while, the new "Rover" completely changes the annoying bits of traveling around the locations as does the Map upgrade. Now that we have Mods, there's so much more to the game, but make sure you've gotten all your Trophies before you get too embedded in them.

IDK how long I actually played for, but this is feeling like a 6~7/10 from a gaming standpoint. The default controls (while heavily customizable) feel weird on the PS5. I wanted to roam the zones more, but there are points where the cutscenes / progression kick in that end up blocking you from going forward if you don't know where they'll trigger. I always play on "Story Mode", so I can't say where the difficulty level is, but I've definitely "been caught" a few times due to controls or unobvious progression / direction. I set the games to "best looking" mode and haven't noticed any real performance issues. The settings customizations are super in-depth and lean hard into the Accessibility options, but that should be a global standard in games by now. I forget what setting I kept looking for though, but I couldn't find it and it would have made the game better.

This is almost always the AV kicking in. I'd download the file to something Not Overprotected by the OS (I have a separate Temp folder at the root of a spare drive), whitelist the file, run it from there, and then make sure to install it to somewhere like C:\Games\HC as the destination. See my links for more detailed install on Windows.

This, the file probably got messed up, but I bet it's there. This might help:

I'm always fearful of leaks. 😕

What did you guys set the timer to? Do you have a character that can mess with it?

Since @Snarky brought it up, here's my Brute alt. Seems this build isn't a Pure Dark like the other one, but that's probably a thematic choice.

One of my early mains was D/D/D (and D/D before the last one was a thing :p). I remember her being pretty tanky early on, but over time, not so much. I can solo just fine, but I'm also not one to try and solo a TF. I'm far and away from being able to min/max, but I'll see if I can bring up an old Mids build. *rummages* Hero Plan by Mids' Hero Designer 1.962 http://www.cohplanner.com/ K'larh: Level 50 Mutation Scrapper Primary Power Set: Dark Melee Secondary Power Set: Dark Armor Power Pool: Speed Power Pool: Flight Ancillary Pool: Darkness Mastery Hero Profile: ------------ Level 1: Shadow Punch Acc(A), Dmg(3), EndRdx(9), ToHitDeb(31) Level 1: Dark Embrace ResDam(A), EndRdx(7), ResDam(40) Level 2: Shadow Maul Acc(A), Dmg(3), EndRdx(15), ToHitDeb(33) Level 4: Smite Acc(A), Dmg(7), EndRdx(23), ToHitDeb(34) Level 6: Hasten RechRdx(A), RechRdx(11), RechRdx(11) Level 8: Murky Cloud ResDam(A), EndRdx(9), ResDam(40) Level 10: Fly Flight(A) Level 12: Death Shroud Acc(A), Dmg(13), EndRdx(13) Level 14: Obsidian Shield ResDam(A), EndRdx(15), ResDam(43) Level 16: Touch of Fear Acc(A), Fear(17), EndRdx(17), ToHitDeb(34) Level 18: Dark Regeneration Acc(A), Heal(19), Dmg(25), Heal(46) Level 20: Siphon Life Acc(A), Heal(21), Dmg(34), ToHitDeb(36), Heal(46) Level 22: Cloak of Darkness DefBuff(A), EndRdx(23), DefBuff(43) Level 24: Confront Acc(A), Taunt(25) Level 26: Dark Consumption Acc(A), EndMod(27), Dmg(27), EndMod(46) Level 28: Cloak of Fear Acc(A), Fear(29), EndRdx(29), ToHitDeb(37) Level 30: Soul Drain Acc(A), Dmg(31), EndRdx(31), ToHit(37) Level 32: Midnight Grasp Acc(A), Immob(33), EndRdx(33), ToHitDeb(37), Dmg(39) Level 35: Oppressive Gloom Acc(A), Dsrnt(36), EndRdx(36) Level 38: Soul Transfer EndMod(A), Heal(39), Dsrnt(39), Dmg(40) Level 41: Torrent Acc(A), Dmg(42), EndRdx(42), KBDist(42), ToHitDeb(43) Level 44: Dark Blast Acc(A), Dmg(45), EndRdx(45), ToHitDeb(45) Level 47: Night Fall Acc(A), Dmg(48), EndRdx(48), ToHitDeb(48) Level 49: Tenebrous Tentacles Acc(A), Dmg(50), Immob(50), ToHitDeb(50) Level 1: Brawl Acc(A) Level 1: Critical Hit Level 1: Prestige Power Dash Empty(A) Level 1: Prestige Power Slide Empty(A) Level 1: Prestige Power Quick Empty(A) Level 1: Prestige Power Rush Empty(A) Level 1: Prestige Power Surge Empty(A) Level 1: Sprint Run(A) Level 2: Rest RechRdx(A) Level 4: Ninja Run Level 2: Swift Flight(A) Level 2: Health Heal(A), Heal(5), Heal(19) Level 2: Hurdle Jump(A) Level 2: Stamina EndMod(A), EndMod(5), EndMod(21) ------------ | Do not modify anything below this line! | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1866;608;1216;HEX;| |78DA7554DB6EDA4010B5B183B9180810022E041292400289036ADFABAAB47D68912| |2E50390956C135407A8EDB489AA56EAE7F4A57FD6CB1FD0B1BD784F2A630971389E| |3367766699F1FD48FFF9E6FB7349CEBFB42DD79D5C5C3AD662C19CD4F8CEB3BCE97| |C26D1937CDBB52DE7462368AC0226636633668E2CE74308EBD19B117BCF662E7FF7| |C2B99D3B52E67C3EB7CD8B056357D900BEB6A7D7375E2EC43E9CCEAE75FECB9B31D| |7ADBC5A4C2F8314FEAFC9D8723DE63CD4A88443FA7CF46B099EA5127CA98ABCA427| |A1089CD2046E1A021FFBBC1C68135249F04988EF02EF6A3C9CBCE4355E79D0EE829| |743BCC2B50A6893A0DD06ED1E68DBC46F84DAC44651F09935B84FF11A3F97568AEF| |039E2B4B7C3ACC2FA5D382EF119FE5BE59A859879A75C8794238C77D73A5F89EF48| |0F7882FF09E1420FF660AF09A9E9C125F0CA6B1548AA02D6504AE419DA7C0DF91B6| |1CFAAA65D06E41CC1E68F78DF83C26E5A9F0F356D4F839F680FF447C35F495ABE05| |BAB0AFC99620C7E2E03629E2401E3B9803F236D9DF7B30EDA06F4B301B51DC0B9EE| |89DFE1BE3BA06D825713B535811F886FF17EB640BBAB035EE3DB81FC038A69F3FBD| |6863CFBDB8021CF50F3774058F321F4A10333EA80B60B5E5F081FF19A8FC0EB58F9| |6F3FAC7001660AF57FA5F83EEF791FF29C288FFF171106ED8F9C24995C6B82F64C7| |93CD30883F61BC50CB87600DA216887D0FF21681B6AB43325DC992D35DA87E1BD5D| |C5F82FC309C5B2C358F6692CFB2C967D876C595474AE461B579261C3A537A36DBAF| |C45D396651E03DBEB8FE01332DC083513BF2D7E639EBCE0FF621EB8652AE02DC0FF| |0004FA33A1| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

This, it would be a nightmare and some people just like a quiet server sometimes.

Doesn't Hyper-V only emulate ye olde classic S3 Verge graphics? I know my old 90s game doesn't even play nice in it (last I remember trying). Now, If you've got a Win7 install and run the "XP Mode" emulator, then that might do something, but at that point just run Win7 (no, don't actually do that it's not secure online).
