yea he let it go tho, and it kept jiggling in my arm and killed me
my mangled corpse that he continued to attack after i was fully dead says otherwise
ive got beef with willie
nah he came at me
feel like I almost have more luck knocking people out against the wooden barrier than the actual weapons lol
i was just standing there all innocent
I just realized I can abuse the fact that npcs back up when giving up to give you time to get up
Willie tryna finish a lot of thangs out here 
https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/jo3cCzCsPD19klUTC/spok?invite=cr-MSxpa20sMjAxMzQ4MTMyLA
Watch Ayo?? Sensuwill and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
god damnit XD
does anyone else thing animals should be added to half sword for combat in a collisium map
no 
probably the first time I died to the scythe guy now
I should play the demo again
But I feel like
he brutalized me before actually killing me my last attempt
So adjusted to the playtest
I have played 150 hours of it and not touched the demo since

i cant wait til we have a version of the demo game mode with the updated feel
i love the scythe but due to me not playing the demo much compared to the playtest i flail it around so badly XD
Can anyone help me figure out why the game runs incredibly terrible when I play anything except the 1v1? Like it's bad, and It's on medium graphics too, I have a 3060, not sure what's going on
i have a 3080 and turn it down to low on the playtest and i dont have the frame drop that i do on medium
It just so terrible lmao
it will get better as they optimize it with the full release
looks so bad lol, like the difference from low to medium is crazy
is dx12 or dx11 better for this game?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
still getting framedrop to like 30-20 fps on low
Hello! Just downloaded the demo of steam.. But why dosn't it look like the game other ppl/youtubers play? All i see is black void and ppl coming from time to time.. The vidieos i've seen tehy had 2 options/game modes
not sure what to tell ya i float a solid 90 on low
thats the demo, the playtest is the other version
same steam page
well how do i get into the playtest?
#halfsword-chat-⚔ message heres another link
Nvm, got it! Thank u XX
np
all good, thanks for the help
i need this weapon available for myself in all tiers.
😆
whos halfing them swords
https://youtu.be/QNhiON14YKY?si=Kw7WvnHqGiVA6S78
custom loadout tutorial
is there actually a slow motion mod
How do I post pictures
is it just me or does the computer have a way esier time getting up?
Willie is built different
yes
they also feel way more durable, the player dies from getting nuged
ill trip and fall and my guy cant get up from a crouch but I've seen them get up with 1 arm
caseoh had a guy get up missing a leg
was the leg wiggling
I've had several times where we knock eachother over and then they're up before my guy even rolls over
if im not injured we get up at around the same time
I dont wana be 😢
dude im fighting against a tier 3 dude and he will not die
Hmm..have you tried, killing him?
i am fighting with a mace, hes gota shield and he long lost his weapon, his face is bright purple, but he refuses to go down
Or asking nicely
hold weapon against their neck
Knock him over and let the weapon plap down on his face
he doesnt fall over
Leg
he knocks e over as soon as we collide
Im not
But I wouldn’t continue fighting for 7 minutes with an ongoing bug
just give up and move on
You clearly won the fight lol
are there halfsword mods?
is it hard to mod?
dude
this is crazy
this guy took 100+ mace hits
he doesnt take damage
i think this is a bug
^ as was stated
whats strange is that this guy also doesnt fall over
he outpushes me
hes kicked me soo many times now i think my llegs are breakin
question: is this game against real players or all cpu/ai?
All part of the bug
It’s entirely pve
is this a known bug?
i think i need a higher dificulty setting
Yes but you can make a post in #1047240101152960525 or #1262488181035630634 if you want devs to see it. More attention to bugs is never a bad thing, as long as it doesn’t get spammed lol
Increase dmg to npc
Adjust damage sliders
Make yourself hit like a pillow and Willie hit like a truck
I just had a tier 8 duel, and the guy just suddenly dropped his weapon and decided to give up, so I won without even landing a few good hits on him 🤔
I do not recommend
i think its persisting
Its the ultimate test of skill
net fight the sames happening
Max handicap
I thought I was fighting Mike Tyson
well in fist play
Blunt damage was nerfed, try a different weapon. It’s still being adjusted
I went to go pick up my sword I dropped and knocked myself out on the fence lol
I hope the dev fixes the right hand
why,whats wrong with it?
Deals less damage and lets go when catching someone
At least that's what it seems to me
occassionally immediately lets go when you try to grab with it
(not injured)
It’s a camera issue, with how it’s positioned it’s easier to make full drawn back swings with your left hand compared to your right. If the camera angle was swapped it would be the same issue but with the other hand
I think it’s more then stance as well. If we can change footing with shoulder swap that would fix the right hand swing issue
anyone have a favorite longsword guard?
curly one
My favorite weapon is the great sword
I love the sword fighting in the game as well. Utilizing ur hand swap when swinging ur sword to get good swings
I like treating sword fighting like it’s anime lol
Okay, so ALL enemies just surrender after a few seconds of fight on tier 8, is it bugged? It's my first time playing on this tier
I think in those high tiers if the enemy can’t lift the weapon or move because they are over tired then they will give up like a Amazon robot
Plus. Wack a Willie in the head enough times he just forgets he’s fighting
Apparently they really don't like close quarter combat on this tier, if I don't come too close they're not surrendering. Interesting
where do you report bugs. i had a toon that had a two handed mace and secondary was short sword and i kept spawning with my hand cut off?
maybe your character needs a bath. the stink maybe too much for the willies to deal with
so when i fight someone is it a real person or a bot
#1047240101152960525 works too since they pretty much blended the purposes over time lol
bot
oh that totaly doesnt make me feel ass
There’s a learning curve, don’t worry. Just takes practice
it takes time which is almost definitely spent doing better things
ive played for like 6 moths
To each their own
monthsx...
Well..don’t worry, champ. I’m sure any day now you’ll get better
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, or next year, or 10 years, but eventually
aint no way you just champed me
go use only the 1 handed spear and shield for a while XD
imo its one of the harder to use
its hard
ive had some success
yeah, you just gotta keep distance and use the reach of the spear to your advantage
the shield helps a lot
it definitely does. and yeah i find focusing on distances and movement is the biggest help for it
is it just me or are the higher armor tiers just really unfun to play in?
I alot of people say its boring
i like the high armor tiers for the brave stand mode
but I love armored combat
its just a different playstyle. some will love it others wont
its just a lot of ueless swinging in hopes of slipping the 3 square inches on the enemy model that are exposed to damage
or beating someone with a mace until they fall over or until you realise that theyre actually immortal
thats where you can focus on precision instead of brute force
brave stand is fine but way too easy i think
spears are the best
or you can work on grappling/clinch positions with less worry of freak amputation
with these controls this proves difficult
the controls a pretty easy idk what your talking about
besides there are no pspears at the highest tier, so im not sure where youre getting precision from besides the longsword
there are polearms
poleaxes/polearms
😦
uh buckler and small sword
you arent wrong but halfswording every single match trying to get the enemys backs ide of the nexk isnt terribly fun imo
not a spear
thats a poleaxe
and can be used for precision
We have a leveling system in place, so you’ll need to chat until level 2 to unlock image permissions. That takes about 2 hours of chatting
use alt to thrust. its much easier
I know, but mindless charge is better
Rare double click user
nothing wrong with that, was just giving you some views on what may help you enjoy it more
but it feels that youre in no threat, besides exhaustion and falling over
i use both alt and double click
thats why i use it to practice clinching
if i use halfsword with armored combat I double click thrust
tier 4 double click longsword divebomb
depends on how much movement im doing, more movement more likely ill double click instead of alt
be quiet willie
I got punched in the face and instantly went unconscious and was bleeding
Mhm
So true
Hello, Im quite new here, is the #game-footage-🎮🎥 channel only for raw footage or can post a youtube link https://youtu.be/IHbKN3BMpeM like this with some of my gameplay footage there? I did played the demo before but did not know the playtest build was a separate until few days ago, so was my 1st time playing duals and stuff. Very fun.
👏
gotta beat all the other mods in a 1v1
does anyone know how to move the game from one monitor to another
Australia
i dont have two monitors but can you just do windowed then drag it
where's the windowed option
there's only borderless and fullscreen
You have seven
go left from borderless
ohhhh
thank you
worst case scenario doing shift+windows+left/right will also move it
it's harder to finish off the guys screaming on the ground than it is to get them on the ground
do overheads
I WAS JUST DOING BRAVE STAND AND I MANAGED TO KILL SOMEONE BY THROWING AN AXE AT THEIR NECK
STEAM CLIPPED IT TOO LETS GO
Niceeeee
IT WAS SO SATISFYING DUDE
Uhh
we duel when multiplayer comes out
ill be training until the day
better train hard then
My run got accepted for 4th place on Long Axe no death today as a speedrun, noice
speedrub???
#game-footage-🎮🎥 message kicking may fail sometimes
❤️🔥
Is this game going to have multiplayer?
Bro
Best game for sword combat iv seen since Jedi knight academy
I love this
Autism at its finest
"spending money"
hey how can I upload an image here?
None of that.
I cant believe xqc was the bay raging butcher
"stiff"
"limbs don't even fall off"
"spending money"
"low budget"
I have never seen a man so wrong in my life.
Do I really need to explain why you shouldn’t post George Floyd memes?
Mods how can I upload an image in this chat
weird beheading
ok time to crush this person in 1st place ;p
You need to have more posts, it depends on your rank.
Oh ok, well it's just that I have this Unreal Engine 5 Crash occuring many times and I've been playing the game for a long while. Like 1 year or more and now I get these crashes
Idk but @soft osprey and @tender quest since you are active in this chat just now. Is this a known issue I can fix or no?
are you running game on DX12?
Yes
Oh ok. How do I do that?
you need around 32gb of ram to power through the memory leak
In game settings
I do
whats ur gpu?
try switching it and let us know
you shouldnt be having any issues, are you trying to run it on highest settings uncapped fps?
My settings are at Epic graphics, 1080p, 150fps capped, fullscreen and no Vsync
I don't see any option to switch to DX11
I don't have that last option, wied
you are playing the playtest and not the demo right?
Oh I was refering this whole time to the Demo
I don't get this crash on the playtest
yeah the demo crash is completely random
Am I doing something wrong or is it normal for your character to naturally look downward when thrusting
it's because of the camera lock on
kinda annoying tbh
IM WARMED UP AN READY TO GO!!!
if you wanna aim for the neck, you gotta disable lock on.

how do you disable lock on?
Brutal backshot
that exchange was clangy
clangy always makes me happy.
My god, made a whole chunk of his back pop on out.
yknow, @tender quest and @wind charm might think they're pretty good... but they don't got moves like these.

im seriously having way too much fun with this lol
Watch who needs slomo when you got fastmo and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
40 hours into game and complaining for atleast 10 i just figured out guards and reach of my sword 💀
omg brave stand is so fun!
i agree XD
true but is laggy
get a little poke, sprint forward for gauranteed instant kill
is there a place I can report a buh
bug
gotchu
i thought you had a failboat plush profile pic but alas, i was wrong
whats the difference between this and #1262488181035630634
honestly man ive been dreading the day someone asks this
feedback existed before the playtest did, basically
does anyone even look through them? who knows
am i the first person to question that? 😭
but, people used the feedback channel for either
maybe feedback is general issues, and playtest is focused on playtest issues?
they def do. i do from time to time, galaxy and some of the other devs take time to, just takes time
you said time alot there
lmfao
do you know if its possible to make a new weapon for halfsword I need a katana my friend knows blender and I know VERY basic scripting
I have no idea if its possible, idk how you would go about unpacking the game in order to do that but im pretty sure they said they dont want people doing that
oh that sucks
no berserk sword? sob
Dude the one handed/two handed warhammer is under rated
guess ill just wait till they add a katana
cuz like its a sword game they kinda have to
good.
i keep thinking about how awesome it would be if this was the combat in m&b warband but alas, it’ll be a while before computers can do that much physics in real time
they already can but u better be jeff bezos to spend that much money on a computer
and they are like huge setups mostly meant for actual nasa
Anyone else have a monitor that can super impose a crosshair ? I just tried it on this game and it kinda helps
wdym superimpose a crosshair?
but imagine how it would sound to have like 100 swadian knights crash into the enemy lines with this kind of combat system like
DUDE
YES.
a crosshair would be nice, don't know why it was removed
slideshow gameplay
u could use crosshair x
but then it isn't dynamic like in the demo, it's fixed
Stupid question but why, besides assuming it's illegal
and an army
true
My minotor can add a crosshair over your game
it would be illegal to distribute the game files
piracy
i love
f
intellectual property rights and such, disseminating games code etc idk im not a legal person
I dont really care about it that much I dont do it but I dont see anything wrong cuz like they dont LOSE a copy of the game
its not like stealing a car where they dont have that car anymore
UE5 is open source right?
but is halfsword
Yeah distribution def is
reverse engineering too
but to make a new sword wouldnt u make ur own files
I guess u would kinda have to use some bits of in game code
I made a blade and sorcery mod 1 time
and then some asshole stole my code and then I quit modding
How hard was it to make the mod and how long did it take?
well
blade and sorcery is easy to mod
and mine was simple mostly just grabbing some files changing some things naming the files making the config modeling and then making damagers
all basically done with blender and file explorer
If you could mod it would be kinda cheating right? Just increase the weight of each weapon you max and you could OHK anything
No in half sword
why would that be an issue, it's a modification of the game
ig u could cheat but halfsword isnt really what I think of as an rpg
Plus it's offline
i can make a mod that makes me unmovable and do 1216725712985312 damage
exactly
imo cheat in singleplayer if u want and it makes it more fun for u but if its online thats where I see a problem
it might be later
in full release
I know some people like to tinker i get it
They need to find a way to make fully simulated characters sync online via a server, which is almost impossible atm
It will be interesting to see how customizing your own kit works. Will each weapon and peice of armor have a point value? Each teir have a max point buy value
thats literally already happenig with vr games i swear
they arent half as advanced as half sword
Could you recommend some, I just got an oculus for Christmas and would like to try
i doubt its impossible with todays technology
its just a couple limbs colliding
we play games nowadays on 20 ping with 128 people in a lobby
i just remember this stone bending vr game thats similair to half sword
It's more than that, fully physically simulated characters at all times. Most games only have those physics for deaths.
To make it run online and make sure everything syncs well while being fully physically simulated at all times is a whole nother ball game
theres a lot of physics and simulations that goes into those two characters
the issue is both clients will have slighly different physics simulation
how does rocket league work then
4 people each trying to hit a ball which relies on phyics
there is a lot less going on in rocket league than in halfsword here lmao
yes but its also not a priority
no but its alot harder than it sounds
network ownership, one client forces their own physics simulation to server (probably, maybe different technology)
lets say there were 100 balls in a rocket league game then
probably would still work on a decent server
lets not speak on hypotheticals lol
all bouncing around
They're cars pushing a ball, they're not humanoid characters with their own self balance system and fully physically simulated state
It's simple shapes
ooou
bro hes got to beat 142
is it a streamer
ye
Create 100 cubes in UE5 and drop them in a pile, you probably wont have issues.
Do the same with 100 sticks that have dimensions like 1.0x0.05x0.05, and you will probably have some bugs with sticks flying off the screen.
who tf is bob
link?
hes 3rd in the leaderboard worldwide
i dont know if im allowed to premote streams here
why do we have leaderboard for a playtest
for people who dont go outside
you have my permission
the real issue would be people hitting air on your screen and somehow still hitting you
hes doing so good
you sound upset because your rocket league arguement didnt go as well as you thought it would
🤣
why would i be upset haha

I tried explaining it for him lol
youre the one out here hating on people who are having a good time
true
i wouldnt call that hating it was a small joke
for physcis simulation combat you would need seamless simulations otherwise one side is doomed by ping
And desync, not sure if he's aware what that means
all im saying we shouldnt be far off in terms of technology to be able to play half sword online
its 2025 jiggas
imagine LAN tournemnts of half sword lmao
would be sick
true
not priority anyway + afaik devs are new to ue5 + it would probably create issues devs wouldnt have time to fix
rome wasnt built in a day though
the meta and strats people could think of would be endless
Epic Games is assisting the devs in utilizing the full features of UE5, so they might be working on it
lan tournaments sure we got split screen mod for that
really inspiring quote there wow
the sky is blue
Have you got it to work on the playtest?
half sword player discovers hema sportsmanship
no i assumed it works lmao
so much the devs have got to account for in the game bugs glitches coding that spikes out they have to test it themselves and try and find bugs by doing stuff randomly its so much work
idk what hema sportsmanship is g
They run on different versions of ue that's why we couldn't get it for the longest time
But in TGS there was already split screen without a mod
this what i do to people who assume https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/jqP4KoSFT9aMzCIxt?invite=cr-MSxjNkQsMjAxMzQ4MTMyLA
Watch who needs slomo when you got fastmo and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
Hes right, good things take time
ok i guess they should just give up on something that could be great and sell loads 👍
what????????
once the game is at THAT state to introduce some form of MP. then we talk abt mp, RN the game needs to be build.
the main purpose is HEMA, medieval history combat. Tech needs to be built first, and experimenting.
not to entertain the masses with MP. FIrst a good game, then all the extras with it.
No one is saying that, but small steps first
thanks i didnt realise
thats not what i said bro that completley went over your head
they are just rage baiting
🤦♂️
features first QoL later
And do you really think the devs wouldn't already put online if it was as simple as you thought it was?
online isnt even the main focus of HS
Hey y’all I got a question
online is a nice have
For the speedrun.com submission, can you choose any level of violence?
^
why servers if p2p
joke is, it is very demanding
Desync, that's why server is better for physics
disagree
and requires net coders and tons on money
can you make one?
make what
youre talking with one of the developers 
depends what record your going for but for no death you strictly have to do farm class
MP with server netcoding
yh the vfx dev lol
i feel like server fully doing simulations is gonna be much worse though?
Yeah, for no death, but does any level of gore apply? Because grosquet or whatever it is seems easily than the other 2, because u can chop they head off instead of just hitting it
i know nothing about making games mate, my point is, its 2025, i believe it is possible
then shut it
P2p it's going to take more time for things to register, what happens on your screen will be different from what happens on your opponents
you dont have to be enstein to have an opinion mate dont tell me to shut up you abosuluter dweeb
no it dont matter what gore level
F BOB
Thanks
then listen to what people have told you 😄
we have been trying to tell you that your opinion is wrong
lmao
i woudn't go bobs stream......................
noooo odid he die
Why do you react so hostile towards facts?
does that not apply to client->server->client2 ? server could (in)validate clients simulations, but wouldnt p2p be the same by simply acting like a server?
he died 141
141 on his 3rd run
ignore this chap, he clearly lacks common sense
for example in black ops 6, omnimovent involves physics and every character is moving with omni moveveent.
i crashed it again 😋

he literally said shut up wdym facts
Those are animation based
He said more than that if you scroll up
no because theres momentum involved
thats not what physics based animation is
you said you have no idea how to make video games. stop trying to justify your wrong opinion
You need to study the difference between animation based and fully physically simulated characters at all times
????
Half sword has 0 animations
(you are replying to a wrong person)

yh i think in bo6 and alot of other games theres a mix of both, BUT loads of players
half sword is so tough to get a high run on fr
Bo6 only uses physics for deaths, and even then its a blend of animation and physics. It's not fully physics like half sword
every run i play is high brother 
ye but u godly 🤣
why are times weird on speedrun.com for halfsword
for example in garrys mod, you can chuck two ragdolls into each other which are fully phsics simulated and it looks the same on the ohter persons screen
not really
do you know how much janky issues gmod has lmao
yes but thats a game from decades ago
fr 🤣
It's more of a sandbox
people still play gmod its crazy
like TABG can do it, cause its a shooter game, and they can make physics movements less accurate and get away with it, YET most pcs locally cant handle the physics that well.
HS needs super accurate physics cause its a 1v1 combat focus game, every movement counts.
And even then they had to sacrifice the appearance of the characters by making them simple
take other modern physics based games for example. Scrap mechanic, Gta Online, Trailmakers, and The Long Drive. Desync is a huge issue you will see, where one thing will be seen on one persons screen, but sue to ping, on another persons screen, they can be experiencing something completely different
but then again theres loads of players in the game
No? Gta online is server based
Rockstar hosts matchmaking servers that establish a connection between players. Instead of the server handling all the game packets, they are transfered directly from player to player - so it's basically P2P, with server-handled matchmaking.
Maybe you mean the online game modes like death match etc, but the actual free roam world is def server based
makes sense
when you watch gta online/ gta rp vids and the desync is crazy, especially with cars, isnt that because the servers are just shit and theres loads of players?
its a hybrid
bit o both i suppose, its pushing physics to the limit. rockstar is a huge company so they have a lot of resources to expend, but its not perfect
rdr2 preforms nicer imho
two cars colliding isnt anything groudbreaking mate, its just the servers
granted its a newer game so that can be expected
This guy with his takes
yh man
Watch holy shit is that Morpheus and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
summoning
so close u guys
Morpheus
141

need to fast patch a score system into the testplay so we can all get our brags on
I played Undisputed that uses p2p and had physics based hits, devs had to downgrade the physics and make it more animation based so it doesn't desync
want me to give you the content creator role? i didnt realize you streamed speedruns !
lol thats would be awesome
the running community is growing surprisingly quickly lol

ive been playing this game for so long now .3 was amazing
welcome to the green name club
we defo need a preset option for halfsword tho lol
just hoping that with some time and some more resources that we can make this game multiplayer for at least 1v1
green gang
i am third on the board thou
what is the trick to picking things up from the ground i suck ass at grabbing things
i was tellin Fonix to try and go for the first person run. Juicer has been sitting there for 3 months 
im gonna try it now
no promises
so wait is that all the classes
what do you have to do for it again
from bottom class all the way up to the top, all in first person
ight bet here we go
wish me luck
Yeah, the axe is great! 😄
Spikey stick all day...
Does the game support 3440x1440?
the axe head got stuck on his lower half tho and it cost me the carnage match because i couldn't get unstuck in time
It's my Main! I've been axe-ing since the itchio days! 😛
(didn't discover Medal until later, though lol)

wdym medal
Medal is the game recording app that I use to make clips
I only dipped my toes into actually making clips when I started playing the playtest
i just realized that you can incraese the damage
and the blood
maxing everything out here i go
I don't think so to be honest. I think there was a way to input custom resolutions, if I recall.. @fast bramble was the only person I know who knew how to mess around with that, sorry for the ping 🥸☝️
It's the app i use to clip, it has a built in editing software that's good for beginners if youre looking at content creation
Does getting knocked out not count as a loss because i live to fight another day?
Yup
i love it
Some hoe action shots!
Giving up does the same, so if you get knocked down you can give up before he kills you
a better quality one of the first:
give up? bah
ima grab a foot and go for the hug kill
eh, I give up all the time, if I feel like it's a losing battle lol
Better than restarting.. but I also go for "clippy" moments, too lol
how are u this accurate
turn up your mouse sensitivity to max
sure
It’s all practice
There’s a pretty decent learning curve
i have so many cool clips but i use nvidia replay so the filesize is 100mb per vid
cba to compress and send
practice swinging left to right, up and down tends to naturaly drift
aight
oh, dont forget* if they are in your space, give em a kick
Kicking while moving forward to knock them down, then go stomp their head for the quick win
Make sure you shout profanities at him too
my wife told me that i looked like i was having "to much fun" playing this game LOL
that should be your steam review lol
I either do that, or go into halfsword! Some of my best clips come from close quarters exchanges
and now it will be lol
i'm not a game dev but this video is interesting and i think it's worth thinking about how it could apply to half sword https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSc0t8vk-gI&t=5s
damnit no embed
You've been here long enough and with no warnings so I can hook you up with image/vc perms

Personally I'd be cranking that shit, but I'd check the website just to be sure first
it's almost impossible when you're wearing armor
It ain't you, Ever since the last update, Willie has had some trouble with it.
He's just nervous I suppose.
butterfingers
although i prefer they give priority to the bug that has gore SFX playing constantly in the background
This is an old clip, pre-blood, but this is a nice example of the magic of halfswording in close quarters, that I still feel like is a SOLID/cool clip lol:

npcs get shit in their hands like jedi on spoilance
True, that one gets just a tad bit "annoying" if that's the right word, when playing for longer periods of time.
Nothing a quick reopen can fix though, but still
that's the right word, it is absolutely annoying
Very nice, love to see it
even if it's an older clip
Ty, my dude! ^__^
For me it gets a little more annoying when it starts getting louder, other than that, it's supportable
it definitely gets worse sometimes compared to others, but i just enjoy the silence and the constant squishing noises really bother me
I feel like it'd get fixed out by the next update though, seems like it's just one of those simpler bugs to fix in my opinion.
where does photo mode pics go?
Your photos are in:
"C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Half Sword Playtest\VersionTest54\Screenshots"
It does if your display setup supports it, though I don't know if multi monitors work
@worn heron I JUST BEAT THE RECORD LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LETS FUCKING GO
🎉
I love this game
I was just talking with the current record holder in #creators-chat about it too 
2:26 yes boy
Hmm yeah it's not coming up as an option. Might need to try a custom one. Ive got to flanker 1440p monitors as well, might be the issue
Nice man lol I'll be sure to watch it when it's uploaded. Might try to beat it myself 
ahem, phrasing
gonna catch myself there before anyone else can.
Hey guys this game reminds me of berserk right blueberry
There is no way Joe Rogan would be this easy to beat up 🤣
what yall think of this weapon down in the low tiers?
i love it!
good luck
i got another question
for submitting a speedrun, is the Splits.io URL required?
and what does it do?
I Honestly never really use it, never did either in the demo version, just tossed it.
I tend to prefer the other long axe over it.
But one benefit of it is that it does feel slightly lighter
do i not have permission to post pics?
I've only seen CaseOH main it so far, lmao.
how do i kick?
space
sapce
yeah i like it as kind of a piercing version of the axe
the lightness is why i like it
There's a level system in place, you need to get to level 2 for vid perms and image perms and such.
You can just do that by talking, will take about 2 hours i believe.
yo, for speedrun.com is the Splits.io URL required and what does it do?
@barren slate
whats the wierd axe even called?
Can't wait for whem the Fastest% category comes on that site
Creator of it did say he's adding it
got a few clips i'd like to put on there myself
Oh nevermindmind I explained the whole thing in a text and scrolled down to see bro already did that for me
brush axe?
you blue
u know the answer??
Beat ya' to it 
@worn heron FUCK i just watched the clip back i missed class 7 right at the end

Wuhh
yo, for speedrun.com is the Splits.io URL required and what does it do?

Sick draw/simultaneous death screencap:

"splits are not required"

makes it worse
Horrifying.
goon juice 
Oh HELLZ YEAH
I think I shall partake in some
Love the Good
Crusaderade
I'm not huge on it honestly, the tea flavour is a bit heavy for my personal preference, but mango goes hard no matter the occasion

Only tried the free sample packets so far, i have yet to try the other ones.
also tried some of my friend's
this is a bannable offense
I should've been more vocal about their Christmas sale. I got a ton of free stuff from them
But do you have a rough estimate of when the full game comes out blueberry
Schlattpad
We have a roadmap in #announcements
Thanks
Guessing the christmas sale isn't having any overtime?
I’m new to this
No worries
Yeh is over 
Rip.
So I’m the #1 berserk lover
i'll be checking in for other sales though, just reminded me the website exists, thx.
idk we got @jolly gorge in this server
I CLEAVED WILLIES FACE OFF
(
)
Love the tribal warcry going into battle
Is the people call Willie
No worries good sir
Yes sir
I am Willie
You are willie
We are all Willie
Willie is watching.
"WO LOLOLOLO" 
less of a "cleave" and more of a "pop"
So is it the breast milk flavor or what
SHREK? why didn't I see this
i just opened chat why are we talking about breast milk flavor
I'm trying to play, but it isn't letting me pick my level of gore and as such I am quite literally unable to get past that screen, does anyone have any idea of what is happening?
No but that's surprisingly good, it's like blue raspberry and milky
Gamer subs
or sorry g fuel not gamer supps
See guys it’s real

blue flavor is fake
There's one potential fix I have for you but you gotta be sure to follow the exact process, one sec
what tge fuck
Dunno why but i giggled to myself thinking of a rat sipping that off your floor then bumping into the nearest wall at full speed and dying.
5 AM thoughts be different.
That's crazy.
first its debate about mp for halfsword now its shrek g fuel
I just got my settings for the game all set up and it looks more beautiful than ever
Following this up, @hasty dirge , be sure to delete all the files listed before reinstalling, it's a crucial step
Bug: Stuck on gore selection menu. When booting up the game nothing happens when making a gore selection.
Solution: Clean reinstall
Delete all files relating to the half sword playtest existing in your local files. Be sure to back up your screenshots folder if you took any!
Navigate to and delete the Half Sword Playtest folder located in the following directory.
C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common
Navigate to and delete the Saved folder located in the following directory.
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\HalfSwordUE5
Finally, reinstall Half Sword Playtest.
praying i like the swamp water flavor, ill stock tf up on it
It's not guaranteed to work, but it's your best chance
the onions and waffles flavor isnt great i hear
ah, i forgot about the appfiles data rip
but swamp water is like some mai tai stuff
so frustrating when dead people wont let go of you!
I've been digging all the gsupps flavors I've been getting lately, they've all been great
take the hand.
Take his hand in marriage
take the hand?
so i have to switch from two handed to one handed and then grab the npc back?
while being beat on by the third party at the same time?
Grabbing his hand then letting go works for me most of the time
cutting the arm off works XD
True
If you need to know where to set your custom resolution, there's an ini file located in C:\Users\computerusername\AppData\Local\VersionTest54\Saved\Config\Windows (replace computerusername with your computer's username) called GameUserSettings.ini. You may need to enable viewing hidden files if you haven't yet.
ive noticed it usually happens on the higher armor toons
maybe I just forgot but uhh
did they change the arena a lil bit?
or the lighting? or has me sleeping until 6 in the afternoon done something
not sure if its because of dificulty or the armor itself
depending on what graphics you're on, or dx11/12, it can produce different lighting effects.
Blueberry, I know for a fact, you’ve been asked this question 1 billion times but will there be multiplayer ever?
ugh I hate shit internet
Splitscreen in development currently, but that's about it, more info in the #faq
Yo
Looks like medium DX11?
if you're happy, then I'm happy, Saul Goodman
Get your thing on epic with direct X 12 trust me guys
need brass knucked and spiked brass knuckles.
it would seem ai fights in different styles throughout the fight like fist hes a grabber or a fighter
yeah, they had them back then too
Same here
everything was a weapon back then
did they change something?
I swear the lighting or the arena is, different
4K/DX12/Epic sets my NASA super computer on fire
it didn't work 
I think settings below High have a bit of a blue tint now, at least it does in DX12
It's like that old bug where everything was the wrong colour temperature
oh and a shalalie
Its really weird how the enemies feel like humans, but the player is like 3 pieces of paper in durability.
need a round counter made of banners on the wall
theres damage sliders
i just tried a bill and could not get my weapon un stuck from the corpse
10/10 would recocomend
There is not enough sliding in all games combined to make it even
If the player character stubs his toes he would go into a coma
the default slider was getting a bit easy so been playing everything maxed for the last hour. it's .. humbline
I hope one day an OVRDTH selector type thing becomes vanilla
I usually put myself at a disadvantage. My slider is about 80% while AI's is 40
That would be awesome

This game would be so good in vr
I've been trying to go at tier 3s as a peasent with a longsword
Gotta get them legs
What slider is this?
Real and true
The damage sliders in settings
I try to aim for the neck
settings > game
Usually the face or jaw or neck is exposed up until like the last tiers
Why not both!
Peak
"A little off the top please"
going into half sword with their neck between you and the sword is so broken but for the life of me i can't do it on purpose
What do y'all listen to while you kill Willies
Real asf
The armor in some classes is so annoying, makes and sharp weapon almost impossible to use
random dequitem videos https://www.youtube.com/shorts/wt-RO1AjRNA haha
Like all my fights on this channel, this is an non-choreographed medieval fight. The rules in this one were simple, the knight can attake all bodyparts exept the faces and all techniques of historical combat were allowed. To make this possible the knight used training weapons from Dominus Gladius. https://dominusgladius.com/flanged-mace-ver.2/
...
bag pipes and flutes
Yeah thats what armors for fam
Yeah anything past like tier 6 is blunt territory
yoou gotta concuss them in thhe head
Real and based
You can get good at hitting weakpoints with enough practice. I tend to disable them then get them to surrender.
pretty much batman vs bane 😭 when theyre both armored
Cinema
I listen to like 80s metal ngl
The metal armor need to be cuttable
how do i record things
It goes incredibly hard slicing people to bits with Judas Priest or Dio in the background
Thats not how armor works...
That wouldn't be very good armor
dio the invader from jjba
Real
I doesnt need to be super easy
metal stops cuts, you need to whack them and breakm their bones
Be it shouldn’t be impossable
I mean I'm sure with a greatsword and enough force you could dent some plate armor but you shouldn't be able to cut it
You can split lower tier helmets with enough force, but the whole point of full plate was literally to be a walking tank. It WAS impossible, it's why armored knights ruled the world until guns.
Bars indeed big fiji
literally armor was peak until 1800s leading into faster reloading and stronger guns
nah mfs going into 1900 were still using metal armor and bucket helmets for gun fights
Real....
I'm just thinkng back to the American revolutionary war. Neither the Brits nor the Yanks were at least depicted wearing armor
Yeah the scientific community hadnt caught up yet. But the point being the nobility lost all of their power with the coming of guns. Hence all the revolutions in europe when muskets became common place.
Its kinda funny to think some one could look stupid for bring protection to a fight
it was more popular in other parts of the world at the time
armies dropped it because it did nothing for cannon fodder and slowed infantry
Probably true ngl, I know like 2 wars in all of history
The wrong kind yeah
Guys i got the kiryu pose
Imagine you show up in America rocking your heirloom plate cuirass and then some french american guy from louisiana shoots you from behind a tree
Imagine somebody dueling Billy the kid and he comes out with a cuirass on like "Hah, I got em this time"
Lmao
Some creole fur trapper
Kick the brain pan, scramble the eggs.
Bars
imagine bringing modern physics knowledge to the middle ages
That's kinda lame they'd just be like "The fuck are you talking about dawg..."
Theyd accuse you of witchcraft for sure. Showing them centrifigual force with a wagon wheel.

Wait now that I think about it they had to have had some understanding of physics considering they had cranes and trebuchets.
Everybody says to bring the crazy shit to the peasents but it's funnier to do it to the lords or the king right
