murder

[soft osprey]

Idk the answer but I’m sure I could make one up if it helps

[hushed gale]

I got news guys

Blood is coming soon

[scenic belfry]

I can sense it is very soon

[violet zephyr]

sure

[soft osprey]

Okay, Willie keeps shutting you down because he doesn’t like being fucked with

[violet zephyr]

What does willie look like?

I will kill him first next time

[soft osprey]

Willie is the mc of half sword

[dawn sparrow]

Willie

[peak plinth]

I somehow pierced through a man with a club.

[trail pivot]

no fucking around

[dawn sparrow]

what a madman!

[dire spade]

guys im a bit confused it says "Q: Why is there no blood/gore in the playtest?
A: The playtest version omits blood/gore due to the upcoming Tokyo Game Show. These elements will be added back after the TGS event." but i looked this up and it already happened am i missing something

[forest ravine]

A quick quesiton I couldn't find in the FAQ or searching; is there a way to flip around a polearm to use the opposite head? Like when you have an axe-pick head, flipping it to use the pick instead of the axe? Or is that functionality not in yet?

[forest ravine]

At the bottom of the FAQ it says they are working on adding it in right now but are having some difficulty

[dire spade]

seem to have missed this thank you

[midnight mesa]

got invited to playtest 😁

[loud river]

Unfortunately not implemented yet, but you can swap the side you hold it on with X

[forest ravine]

Yee I knew that much; understood 👋

It is unfortunate because I usually just drop a sharp-faced polearm any time I'm in combat with the higher armored guys, since I can't use the pick

It would also be great to be able to adjust how high or low you're holding the haft of a weapon, but I assume that's already in the dev's minds

[tough yew]

feel free to make suggestions on :
#1047240101152960525 , won’t hurt

[forest ravine]

Oki 👍

[trail pivot]

small buhurt but my team failed me

[graceful cosmos]

woah helmets can be popped off in playtest

[dawn sparrow]

in the demo too!

[graceful cosmos]

well lets just say its my first time doing it here

[tough yew]

yeah in the play test it used to happen much more commonly, but Frank pretty much made helmets nearly impossible to make them fall

Could see it on the last patch’s patch notes

[remote crypt]

We still get goofs like this tho

[forest ravine]

DAMN

Knocked the HECK out

[remote crypt]

dude

I got fucking laid out

I still giggle at it but god I wish I had my mic on

[forest ravine]

I did a one-two punch on a guy with the hilt and then hammer of a polearm and it looked nuts

[lucid hatch]

how do I become a playtester?

[forest ravine]

Go to the half sword steam page and request access by the playtest banner

It's a big green button

It may take a day or two

[lucid hatch]

Thank you

can I kill the man with the scythe in the demo?

[forest ravine]

Yee he's just tough

Get either a good polearm and quickly stab him or a good short axe and try to close the gap quick enough

I'd go for his dominant arm to fuck up his swing and give you time to go for a fatal wound

[lucid hatch]

thank you

I have a pitch fork

[forest ravine]

That'll do it if you can get one good lunge in and knock him down

[remote crypt]

Boutta post a look into my brain while I play

and eat dinner

[graceful cosmos]

u gotta flap ur hands first, then go on steam and request playtest, then wait some hrs, days, months for it

[dawn sparrow]

he have no armour on his body, only his head is covered. just matrix dodge his strikes and miraculously kill him before his scythe will get you, easy as it sounds

[remote crypt]

Holy fucking christ

that second slip was godly

[dawn sparrow]

100% skill!

[remote crypt]

yessir

reposting cuz its hilarious

Bro I wish I had my mic on for it

I was howling

[dawn sparrow]

oh I trust you, sometimes the game can give you so hilarious and unpredictable fights that if not clipped nobody would believe it

[remote crypt]

dude I swear

I love it

like

this one is easier to believe but fuck dude

[remote crypt]

lmfaooooo

goddamn

[dawn sparrow]

fishing with friends

[remote crypt]

lmfao

yep

[dawn sparrow]

or this one - I accidentally made him kick his friend

and of course my signature trick - throwing a stool

[remote crypt]

pff

[reef glen]

nahh that's insane

[lucid hatch]

thank you guys for helping, I already have the play tester version

steam just gave me the email

[calm lance]

yo

how do i find those mods u guys have

with the armor and swords

cause the only gamemodes i got are fist play,carnage, and spoilance

[dawn sparrow]

click on those little portraits of willies on the right in the menu, those are your loadouts

[calm lance]

oh damn i never noticed

[calm lance]

thank u

[dawn sparrow]

have fun!

[mellow prawn]

holy shit a candle

[heavy pagoda]

[soft osprey]

Amazing, incredible even. The most candleliest candle I’ve ever seen.

[radiant pond]

how long

until new update

https://tenor.com/view/madagascar-king-julien-how-long-is-this-going-to-take-how-long-this-is-gonna-take-this-is-slow-gif-22961435

[worn heron]

our signature trick 🙏🙏don't forget me bb

[lucid hatch]

can the mace break armor on other people?

[remote crypt]

you can knock a helmet off

but thats it

[lucid hatch]

thank yu

[snow gulch]

medieval emperor palpatine 😭

[remote crypt]

👀

[snow gulch]

dispatched the first 3 easily, took a little longer with the fourth, literally like the fight with windu

depends on if they're working + the time you applied at ig

[remote crypt]

goddamn I'm actually surprised how accurate that is

[quiet tundra]

I wonder how the blacksmith will work.
Putting together gear pieces?
Or maybe even making our own weapons.
Custom blade length, haft length, guards, etc

[placid pendant]

flourishing with this weapon feels so good

[haughty rose]

So I’m not the only one who does several wild swings right over their head before landing something

[placid pendant]

I have techniques to get consistency with it but if their head is completely flat on the ground then it gets really difficult to land it

You have to hit from other angles

[haughty rose]

I occasionally just crouch and washing mashing them in the face while blocking

Machine*

Mad goofy sometimes tho

[placid pendant]

It should be noted that quality hits matter more than quantity

Hitting really fast wont do as much as one powerful hit

Treat it like a delay sort of

[haughty rose]

As long as it’s a sword or an axe it usually gets a cut in and it’s not just flailing about it’s still quite concussive and quite a bit of a windup

[placid pendant]

Greatswords can especially pack a punch

[placid pendant]

Sometimes switching hands can help

wait i forgot to crop that

Also circular movements as well is very good, you see me doing those alot over my head

It allows you to get a straight slash at their head every time

Or mostly every time

[remote crypt]

I heard greatsword?

one sec

[placid pendant]

@haughty rose This is what I meant btw

Very consistent way to get an accurate headshot

[cinder stone]

playing with a trackball mouse sure feels different

[remote crypt]

ive been considering making the switch

or to an ergo mouse

[cinder stone]

my main mouse broke

so I'm using this as a backup

[placid pendant]

Also pro tip if you ever get a sword stuck in somebody and you have trouble taking it out normally or halfswording, try thrusting

It works surprisingly well

[cinder stone]

feels more accurate to me

[cinder stone]

oh, first vid got cropped weird

[cinder stone]

in this

[cinder stone]

lol

damn wizards rigging the match

[remote crypt]

normally thrusts don't work with how deep I get in there

[placid pendant]

It's been a while since a did a deep thrust

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1016094887483015248/1285110681452150885/Replay_2024-09-16_00-55-27.mp4?ex=673390d6&is=67323f56&hm=303a75d0c582da4b42c1294a3901b267a725542092482ad16210fd8efeeb8897&

This is an older clip and you can tell because my PC specs were alot worse

[remote crypt]

most of mine are

I appreciate the tips just I use most of them

[placid pendant]

It may be because I'm doing mostly full plate

It's the only class with the heavy greatswords

I'd do less if they had the same swords

[calm ivy]

That's what I do, when I have my axe stuck in someone's head lol

[placid pendant]

I know theres a mod that allows you to do different armor classes but I can't get it to work since I'm on linux

[sour path]

which class gets the bec de corbin?

[calm ivy]

I tried to get this guy to leave me alone, but he didn't hear me, so I thought he could benefit from an ear cleaning! I missed his ear, tho 😦 lol

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/j4ceBjsmq6eQozl5T?invite=cr-MSxrSjYsMjY1MzE2ODc2LA

[placid pendant]

That'd be full plate ftmp

[sour path]

ik it gets lucerne but i haven’t managed to find the bec : (

[placid pendant]

im unsure

Lmfao I just repeated what I did in my old clip just now

[gusty kestrel]

GUYS

i just got gifted a fucking sword

[sour path]

what kind

[gusty kestrel]

sword kind

[sour path]

BRUH

we talking one hand? hand and half? long? great? flame bladed? the list goes on

[placid pendant]

thats what im talking about

I wish I was facing poleaxes more than having to fight shields 75% of the time

[remote crypt]

I prefer shields

literal perfect level for throats

[placid pendant]

It's too easy is the problem

[remote crypt]

Eh depends

with my armor setup? They charge most of the time

which makes me really learn defense

[wind charm]

reposting this 0 stance swap clip dump

[gusty kestrel]

swrod type

[sour path]

pretty sure that’s a hand and a half? not certain tho, hard to tell the proportions

[gusty kestrel]

i mean i have to wield it with 2 hands but ive never had a sword so i might just be a weakling

[weak roost]

Double clicking removes the sword.

[placid pendant]

Yea that's thrusting

[remote crypt]

I be real chief. Your vids/guidance that I've got from you + @boreal path have literally put my game on fire

now I'm working on longsword going from guard to guard as god intended between strikes

[fair sky]

when I get into the playtest where will I see it on steam?

[gusty kestrel]

your library

[fair sky]

alright thanks

[chilly oracle]

I made a ground breaking tutorial

[forest ravine]

That kernkraft transition fucked me up

[chilly oracle]

its a vital part of the tutorial

[remote crypt]

reposting the funny

[forest ravine]

Verily verily 🙏

[fair sky]

in the demo can you get armor?

[woven nexus]

Yes

Check the barrels early on

Break open the one with a lid

[fair sky]

there is this scythe guy i get past him and i usually die lol

[woven nexus]

Yeah same

Spears are op without armor

[fair sky]

lots of potential with this game though

[woven nexus]

Check out the playtest

[fair sky]

im just waiting to get accepted

[woven nexus]

Takes 1h~24 to get accepted

[fair sky]

yea I thought it would take a bit

how long is the playtest for?

[woven nexus]

Infinite

[fair sky]

oh cool

[woven nexus]

Even when early access is up, they said they will keep the playtest and demo

[frank scarab]

try to dodge or block the scythe, and get close,
scythe would only deal blunt damage upclose, worse willie could do is switch to hes sickles.

[fair sky]

ill give it a go

this game in my opinion is like a way cooler for honor

[woven nexus]

Its lovely

My fav sword game

[fair sky]

there is not a lot of bs its more of just getting good with what you have

[remote crypt]

I never see willie ever swap weapons

except on disarm

[modern forge]

What does the F button do?

[languid nest]

Or mildly graze you with the scythe blade instantly chopping you and your entire family in half

[violet zephyr]

It locks the camera on the npc

[real monolith]

Y’all think we getting scythe back eventually?

[cunning yew]

still no gore 😦

[jolly gorge]

the strat of driving any pointed weapon into the groin of Willie has never failed me as long as he doesn't have those big shields

[worn heron]

quote from Franky: "The scythe will return, when the time is right ;)"

[hushed gale]

Guys can we just think about how sweaty multiplayer would be, especially if there is ranked

[worthy dagger]

November and still no blood and gore

[robust hedge]

https://youtu.be/_UN2FllGuho

[forest ravine]

Holy fuck

Axe-wielding maniac

[robust hedge]

u draw this?

[robust hedge]

I'd consider that a 2-handed sword

Hand and a Half in my mind CAN be held with 2 hands but can very easily and still very effectively be held with 1 hand

and the second hand isnt fully accomodated on a hand and a half sowrd

damn

good job

[tacit light]

hello, does anyone know why my game crashes like this when i go back to the menu?

it happens both in demo and playtest

[trail nacelle]

Shocking, no update.

[forest ravine]

But the FAQ says I'll be banned immediately if I DM someone

@little verge I have been ordered to ping you for a creator role

Gazp

[languid nest]

brutal combo.... imagine it with the BLOOD UPDATE coming out TOMORROW (source: dream)

ignore me boogying

[humble skiff]

Regardless of how the end game comes out, It would be cool if there was an "endless" gamemode that played like the Demo with a couple more features

[forest ravine]

They said they plan that

The Abyss is returning

[crisp ivy]

[wooden socket]

Blood is coming yesterday bro wdym

And if that doesn’t work reinstall the playtest

And if that doesn’t work ping all of the devs and demand they give you the update. NOW!

And if that doesn’t work, crash out!

You can trust nobody

[desert goblet]

lmao

I could still move during that as well

[wispy bobcat]

"willie forgets the traditional way to use a sword"

[late mortar]

wtf the size

[desert goblet]

that man was quiet asf when he got hit in the face

took it like a champ

[wispy bobcat]

wdym?

[desert goblet]

I think they're talking about the FOV

[wispy bobcat]

fr he ate that punch for lunch

[wispy bobcat]

oh

[late mortar]

the size of the sword lol

[wispy bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/pc-player-pc-gamer-gmod-gif-23432388

[wispy bobcat]

its the great sword

[desert goblet]

nvm not fov

I lied

gonna kms brb

[wispy bobcat]

if you want to find it, it has a bronze guard, and theres two flourishes on the end pointing up the blade, if that makes sense

thatss the one i use

[vapid hull]

BONK

[vapid hull]

I dunno how people play games like this…

[wispy bobcat]

buckler user tries a sword for the first time "this is how you use it right?"

[desert goblet]

I just walked into the fence and it knocked my hat off, I'm sad

[wispy bobcat]

its a little dizzying i know but it you get a lot more view especially in multiple AI modes

like brave stand

[desert goblet]

lmao

[wispy bobcat]

if im fighting a tier 3 and theres a tier 5 with a plancon at least i know where he is

[wispy bobcat]

b o n k

[wispy bobcat]

okay so clearly my game took issue with me saying this

[lament reef]

fist play seems so fucking biased toward the opponent

do they even have stamina

[vapid hull]

Oh I meant the gif

[wispy bobcat]

OHHHH lmao

[vapid hull]

„I just giv‘em the usual right ??“

[wispy bobcat]

yes but unlike a human they are much better at conserving it

[lament reef]

I JUST RUN OUT IMMEDIATELY BUT THEY'RE SWINGING SO QUICKLY

CONSTANTLY

i had to swing him into the fence to win

[late mortar]

thanks

[robust hedge]

NO

AXE BETTER

[crude shale]

they should just randomly drop gore without announcing it

[desert goblet]

the first person view could seriously use some stabilization

It wouldn't be hard to do either

[amber vessel]

Nah, dont you know it's realistic to lack vertebrae when moving?

Its how the human body works

[robust hedge]

it would be realistic considering our eyes and brainholes probably like automatically stabilize our vision to make it comprehendable

[wary orchid]

Recovery...unlikely

[desert goblet]

I'd consider it a necessary addition even if it wasn't realistic. The amount of wobble makes it hard to look at

[weak roost]

It would require detatching the perspective from the actual body, which gets weird. Or imporiving the self balancing which is already in the works.

[desert goblet]

A springarm set to a relatively low value should do the trick, of course if your player moves at incredible speeds it would trail after quite far. But you can also set limits

[weak roost]

It would still clip I think

[desert goblet]

There's nothing for it to clip with

[wary orchid]

Yo guys, is it normal that willie has much more trouble balancing with the greatsword? Sometimes just switching stance and shift dashing makes him ragdoll or just fall down...for me at least

[wispy bobcat]

willies face and eyeballs?

[weak roost]

The camera, attached to the face....

[desert goblet]

The head should be hidden in first person

So that doesn't happen

[weak roost]

Nah man, it gets weird when you do that.

[desert goblet]

how

[wispy bobcat]

its really heavy, so balancing becomes a little more iffy

[tough yew]

repost repost repost

[weak roost]

And its a bandaid fix

[desert goblet]

I wouldn't consider it one

You could also do it in code. But the simplest fix is often the best

[wispy bobcat]

owie

[weak roost]

Then you don't understand the problem 🙂

[desert goblet]

explain the problem and maybe I will

The helmet would not sync up with the camera but you could also just attach the helmet to the springarm as well

[weak roost]

The self balancing system.

[wary orchid]

yo please rate my discombobulation above man. Im rather new to the game lol

[tough yew]

saw it, good stuff.

[desert goblet]

You'd have to smooth it to get rid of the micro shakes, which would in turn probably make it worse

[weak roost]

If you say so

[wary orchid]

I see you discombobulated thy enemy aswell, good sir.

[desert goblet]

I think its better to tackle it on the camera. Obviously improving the self balancing is also good but I don't think it'll completely get rid of the wobbling

[weak roost]

I don't think ther first person camera is anywhere towards the top of things to focus on.

[tough yew]

well i mean the greatsword is pretty good at doing that

[weak roost]

Is what I'm getting at I think

[desert goblet]

No that's definitely true, but it might be something to look at in the future as its pretty nauseating at times

I'd love to use the first person mode more

[tough yew]

yea

it'd also be cool to be able to raise the visors

[desert goblet]

That'd be really neat

[tough yew]

so we could play as t8 guys more efficiently.

It was shown on somewhere long time ago, probably gonna get remade tho

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1086506182090440794/1286751288180080661/BB.gif

Idkk

[vapid hull]

Unless I just missed what happened

[summer plank]

the message was from yesterday, so its more updated

the message i linked

[vapid hull]

Oh I know that, I was just bringing up an example of pierrot teasing something with a set date that (to my knowledge) didn‘t happen

[summer plank]

oh

lol

[vapid hull]

Or at least was overhyped

Idk

https://tenor.com/view/groove-battle-meme-low-quality-gif-27483110

[wispy bobcat]

he did also say this

so you could be right

[dawn sparrow]

I wonder when people will start complaining about update when blood update will happen

[wispy bobcat]

people have been complaining since before blood was removed LMAO

[summer plank]

2 seconds after the update people will start complaining, i am sure of that

[dawn sparrow]

people love to complain, yeah

[wispy bobcat]

good thing theres a blood slider so they can just turn it back off if theyre not happy

[vapid hull]

especially kids
oh god, i remember my younger self lol

[summer plank]

uh, gore

[wispy bobcat]

same lmao, id slap the shit out of me if i had to deal with me

[summer plank]

you cant disable that

[vapid hull]

It‘ll get the 10 year olds to out themselves though!! Free bans !

[summer plank]

true

[vapid hull]

I cant wait for someone to complain about there being an option to turn off gore

[weak roost]

I can’t wait to get demonetized 🙂

[summer plank]

lmao true
someone i remember (who i have unfriended), has made a complaint about the 3rd person in a game being "too close"
i told him its bec of fairness, but still complained and stopped playing the game xd

[summer plank]

(replying to this message)

[wispy bobcat]

mmmm yummy

[vapid hull]

Hhh I dislike people who are addicted to 190 FOV for no reason

Like its not that bad

[vapid hull]

Especially widescreen dbd players

Shit just looks miserable

[summer plank]

ye

its sucks

[wispy bobcat]

i hate how DBD became just a "who can use the chessier tactic" competition, genuinely had so much potential to be so much more

[vapid hull]

I despise Dead By Daylight

It made my life worse

Stressed me out for no reason

[rapid bronze]

i used to get rlly scared by it lol

and yes i am a PUSSY

[wispy bobcat]

this was me but for CS2

i would complain every game and ask myself why tf do i play this game

and then i came to the realisation "wait... why DO i play this game?" and then stopped playing it lmao

[vapid hull]

Mm I‘ve always disliked Counter Strike and games like it, they were never fun to me, only stressed me out, were extremely comp and toxic, and the gunplay just kinda reeks

[summer plank]

doesnt dbd have the worst community?

[past turtle]

Do you guys think that physics-based melee will replace the former slasher style like chiv and mordhau

[vapid hull]

„Time to miss where I‘m aiming for no reason“

[summer plank]

i hope there arent worse ones

[vapid hull]

Depends

Sometimes

[wispy bobcat]

i can think of worse ones

[vapid hull]

Being told to kill myself pretty much daily turned me off from the community lol

[summer plank]

like, preset slices?

[soft osprey]

Live forever, nerd

[wispy bobcat]

WoW is a pretty toxic community who are seemingly TERRIFIED of change

[summer plank]

are there predators? molesters? if not, its better than roblox

also

[soft osprey]

Everything online the answer is yes to that

They’re everywhere

[past turtle]

Yeah

[summer plank]

1 thing i have heard:
bec of bj not being censored in roblox, 1 guy gave his team AND THE ENEMY TEAM ROBLOX BJs

[summer plank]

true

[wispy bobcat]

if you look at some of the world of warcraft reddit pages youll see what i mean, there will be a post about someone putting an idea forward and it will have thousands of downvotes and a comment that just says "no" and it gets archive

[summer plank]

might not, its abt being physics based

[wispy bobcat]

also not exactly a fandom but multiple

[summer plank]

crosshair should come back

so that can help

[wispy bobcat]

any riot games game typically has an awful fanbase

[summer plank]

oh god, not them

oh shi
maybe take this into general cat?

lol

[wispy bobcat]

rust, LOL, VALORANT, all of them not only have incredibly toxic fanbases, but incredibly divided fanbases which are just as toxic as the other side pf fanbases

[wispy bobcat]

oh shit i thought we were there sorry lmao

[summer plank]

dw

[soft osprey]

Preserve integrity of the game. Everyone looks at RuneScape 3 as the lesson. Now every other mmo doesn’t want to make big changes or they split into different version like RuneScape 3 and old school RuneScape. Old school RuneScape players pretty much control the flow of the new content. when things get polled if they’re big changes you can be sure it’ll get shot down. Nobody wants a repeat of RS3

WoW also has wow classic

new gif anyone??

more like a photo

make it a sticker pwease 😄

[buoyant oyster]

i wonder if someone will notice the wrong thing in this picture (its not the armor)

[echo saddle]

are you wearing a shirt that your unable to obtain

[vapid hull]

Thats unfathomably fair

Its just an all around bad time for me

A lot of pvp settings are, I find

[buoyant oyster]

no

[forest ravine]

Verily verily

[buoyant oyster]

the detail in this picture is not easy to miss, but hard to notice

[dawn sparrow]

weapon looks quite odd but mostly the wrong thing in this picture is you are taking screenshots with hud and cropping it instead using glorious photo mode

[vapid hull]

I want everyone to have fun !! Thats why I stick to pve nowadays :))

[buoyant oyster]

you are right on all of that

[forest ravine]

I can appreciate that 👋 I am working on things to get a PvE game going in Godot

[dusty oyster]

so im playing the playtest and im cutting dudes u but theres no blood. i even put the amount of blood up in the settings but still nothing

[buoyant oyster]

the hammer is bigger than normal

[vapid hull]

I‘ve never heard of godot! Is it fun?

[forest ravine]

D a m n

Cannot read FAQ

😔

[buoyant oyster]

also, i use this cropping mode cuz apparently the photo mode doesn't wanna photo

[vapid hull]

Read literally the first thing you see when you open the playtest

[forest ravine]

Is another game engine, alternate to Unity 👋 Less shittily run than Unity and less nightmarish than Unreal

[buoyant oyster]

i forgot win + prt sc works

[vapid hull]

Ohh gotcha gotcha

[buoyant oyster]

anyways, big mallet

[vapid hull]

Hope it turns out good then! I always need more pve games to try !!

[fast bramble]

Blood soon

[cerulean pendant]

how do i make the game not blast out my ear drums when i enter

like is there a launch option to lower the volume by default

[worn heron]

nay 🙌🗣️

[cerulean pendant]

oh sweet

[worn heron]

definitely a quality of life thing that can be added eventually lmao

the playtest resets controls and settings upon restarting, was handy at the event, but for players at home, can be a tad tedious here and there ;p

[fast bramble]

If you've got the buttons on your keyboard, turn system volume down, then turn it back up to where it's comfortable after launching the game

[worn heron]

big brain

[buoyant oyster]

so uhh...

i bluescreen'd my PC

apparently a 5x sized mallet_B can actually crash your game if you hit 2 targets in a specific way

[fringe raptor]

couldn't handle the bonk

[worn heron]

you should have anticipated the power

[little verge]

too much power!

[tough yew]

Apparently ue5.5 just came out

[restive garnet]

[tender topaz]

jeez how much memory does this game need... (playtest)

[weak roost]

I mean what are your specs?

[tender quest]

[tough yew]

To be granted the game is still certainly unoptimized as they haven’t been focusing on that. They will get into it eventually when they finish the aspects and what not.

[worn heron]

@dusty oyster I'm also gonna need you to change your profile picture while you are in our server, please. We do not allow political topics, figures, or extreme ideals- whether shoehorned as a joke or not.

I'll give you 24 hours before I will begin a formal warning process, and you may be removed from the server.

[tender topaz]

well i know they are bad.. but even on the lowest settings it seems to take up so much

[worn heron]

Are you running dx12?

[tender topaz]

no

[worn heron]

hrmm

[weak roost]

If your specs are on the lower end, of course it will take up a bunch.

[worn heron]

I know I sound like an ass, but double check its not on dx12, cause it's an extremely common issue for it to brick your game. If your specs are a bit lower, it may struggle on dx11, so try lowering the graphics and fixing the resolution if it isn't proper. Swap between full screen and borderless too, sometimes that can have an effect on performance

for me, I get better frames in fullscreen

[tender topaz]

yeah i tried using dx12 once and that was way worse. so i changed it back to 11 and never touched it again. i just checked to make sure and it is still on 11

ill check if fullscreen helps

[worn heron]

sounds good, then yeah, try the other few things I mentioned

[tender quest]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1043854764095582260/1227637966315196456/HalfSword_Ducked.mp4?ex=6734c273&is=673370f3&hm=dbf720f86fd6a94f317d7c1e86f7cddfd3c697a250e3acc54e5124d5b1813f5e&

good times

[tender topaz]

oh btw

it only crashes or freezes for ~30 seconds whenever i click back to menu

(either quit to menu or forced by death)

[worn heron]

yeah that seems to be a common thing

[tender topaz]

maybe the next update will fix it.. hopefully

[little verge]

Yeah, rendering hang up. It is being worked on.

[tender topaz]

oh good

[tough yew]

soon

[worn heron]

It's good info to have, it is being tinkered with at least

[tender topaz]

thats the main problem

[tender quest]

Soon't

[tender topaz]

soon tm

lol

[worn heron]

willvote

[tender topaz]

fullscreen seems to make my game run better in general

i didnt have lag before but capped fps at 30

now even 60 works

[little verge]

The latest internal test build has been running smoother then most build with blood being back. We will see how this performs on various PC builds though.

[worn heron]

that's great to hear! Yeah I have the same kinda pattern, fullscreen definitely has more consistency on my end too

[little verge]

If you aren't aready be sure to play on Epic or lower settings. Cinematic does not perform well for playing.

[worn heron]

you can play with the quality setting as needed (but don't touch cinematic lmao I wouldn't even bother with that monster)

[wind charm]

https://youtube.com/shorts/rQ3SPiZJ4X0?si=UQ6OeyHKU-KIscWg

[worn heron]

same wavelength

[tender topaz]

oh nono i cannot play anything higher than medium graphics lol

also ive seen a lot of debate about vsync.. what is better on or off?

[tough yew]

power supplies comin tomorrow hopefully, we’ll see how that 4070 performs.

when the update actually comes out lol

[little verge]

Hell yeah upgrade!

[tender quest]

#halfsword-chat-⚔ message

[tough yew]

definitely

a lot better than that old yanky 3060

[wind charm]

This is epic settings with 60 - 90 fps 1080p (cinematic)

[little verge]

Honestly it is variable. For my build and monitor VSYNC is best.

[tough yew]

but ill admit it served me well

[tender topaz]

what about a lil laptop? 👀 (dont shame me i want a pc lol)

[tender quest]

knowing the actual specs would help out

[tender topaz]

i guess i could try

well

i mean

idk where to get the specifics

[tender quest]

download speccy

[wispy bobcat]

i feel like people that dont like laptops last used a laptop 15 years ago and never went back to laptop

theyre actually pretty good now though

IGPU bummer.

[wispy bobcat]

CO2 preferably

[tender topaz]

how much memory is reccomended to run the game?

(lowest graphics ig)

[little verge]

6GB VRAM

[tender topaz]

doesnt really say anything at SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS (steam)

ah yeah i have around 8gb free rn

closing firefox already added 1gb lol

[little verge]

On a laptop I would close all applications other then the game you are running.

[tender topaz]

yeah the problem isnt really lag.. just going back to menu. and like you said (someone, but idk i dont wanna scroll up and search)
more people are having that issue

[barren mantle]

who voiced this lmfao

[tender topaz]

okay well the running out of memory stil happens.. that didnt happen before

idk what changed that

it happens instantly as well

(locking me into fullscreen)

[wind charm]

Look what I just did

[tender topaz]

so i have to drag it to another desktop lol (with the windows+tab)

lovely crash report

"fatal error"

not any information lol

[worn heron]

it means

everything went wrong

[tender topaz]

ah right

also

[worn heron]

nothing went right

[tender topaz]

this game doesnt have crash logs right

[worn heron]

I have absolutely NO idea you're welcome for the helpful information

@little verge help

(I don't think it does tho)

[little verge]

UE has crash logs natively built in. Give me a moment to locate the exact spot.

[tender topaz]

yeah i was diving in the files

but uh

only thing i found was a build within the build

ima just do one of these rq (after potential crash log has been located)

[wind charm]

my brain isnt registering this

[wispy bobcat]

can we add this to hell yeah simulator?

what do you think the body and neck of the guitar is?

okay yeah so i did find that

it was empty tho

i could see if the game crashes again then i can check that folder

[little verge]

No critical crashes then, means you just get a popup error message.

[glacial swan]

ik it prob is somewhere here but does anyone have any idea when will a new update come?

[fleet nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/matrix-neo-pill-gif-23861392

fatal error again when going back to menu

lemme check

nothing in logs

EMOJIS MASON, WHAT DO THEY MEAN

[wet zealot]

is itch half sword, the only half sword version that allows your own limbs to be cut off and still live?

[dawn sparrow]

demo with trainer mod allows you for some wicked stuff

like you can resurrect yourself and such

[wet zealot]

i got the trainer rn but all i see is the scale stuff is there more to download?

[dawn sparrow]

check the github and get the newest version

[wet zealot]

alright

i used the one download setup thingy

[marsh lodge]

what is that mod in the photo??

does anyone know?

[buoyant oyster]

look at the top left...

[marsh lodge]

oh lol im dumb

[tender topaz]

fatal error buddy!

[marsh lodge]

thank you

[buoyant oyster]

apparently, mallet C has quite the weight on it

also, i just grafted this

[dawn sparrow]

so you should have this resurrect yourself option there, when you die you can lose a limb and such and use this to get back to life without limb. Doesn't work when you lose your head tho

[soft osprey]

I wish Willies you kill didnt despawn until at least 2-3 Willies after so I can beat another Willie to death with Willies head

[dawn sparrow]

yeah, but I guess that would make ram go brrr and such

[tender topaz]

that mod makes me crash when i play with it for too long lol

[soft osprey]

Yeah I figure there’s a good reason for it but imagine my didsapointment and pure unadulterated sadness when i carried Willies head to the next just to have it despawn from my hand. My bloodthirst, instantly gone and replaced with depression

[dawn sparrow]

I understand you, when I was doing some funny clips I had 2 legs that I wanted use as blunt weapons and they just went pop - gone

[dawn sparrow]

yes, please. We kindly ask for it.

[dusty oyster]

Can’t I like change my pfp for this server

Just so this server sees a different one

[hot geyser]

you need nitro for that

right??

[remote crypt]

Believe so

Personally good rule of thumb just don't be a political historical figure

Like, King Arthur (round table type) is entirely fine, not political

but anyone from the last 300 years is a big nono

[soft osprey]

As far as I know even with nitro you can’t have it different from server to general profile. At the very least, not in this server

[dusty oyster]

Yeah I get that Mao is a bit controversial

[remote crypt]

Will test

yep

I can

[crude flower]

Mao isn't controversial they're just shitty

Lmfao

[remote crypt]

They're a political figure

hence the warning I assume

[crude flower]

Yea

[dusty oyster]

To some, he’s a hero🫡

[soft osprey]

I don’t think that’s something to get into here

[dusty oyster]

Im joking bruh

[dawn sparrow]

I think you should keep some thoughts to yourself

[soft osprey]

You’re joking about politics while being warned about politics

I mean..

[hot geyser]

yeah...

[dusty oyster]

I’ll change it don’t worry

[tacit light]

That's the fun part, you die, you wait for the game to load again for 5 minutes

[tender topaz]

i used to have that

now it just crashes

[vapid hull]

Are you running it in dx12?

[tender topaz]

"fatal error"

[dawn sparrow]

dx11 fixes the issue

[tender topaz]

sorry but youre the 100th person that has asked that

[soft osprey]

Wait

Are you running on dx12

[tender topaz]

NOOOOO

[soft osprey]

Do I win a prize

[vapid hull]

I assume you've beben told to validate files too yeah?

[tender topaz]

no but i did

[vapid hull]

gotcha gotcha

and it didnt fix anything

[vapid hull]

i duunno

[soft osprey]

Did you try turning it off and back on

[vapid hull]

maybe graphics are too high?

[tender topaz]

it used to take 30 seconds and load but now it crashes

idk

[tender topaz]

lol

might actually help

[soft osprey]

Or maybe smacking the side of your pc a few times?

[tender topaz]
