johnhalfsword... did you unlearn your skill to throw people into the air and then slice their heads midair?
with this strength i can send a fully armored knight flying 2 meters away
no... i've simply moved on to newer avenues of expression
this vanilla muscle mass or you did some editing
thats one hell of a skill john... once the "menu" is out you will be flying in no time
I used a UE save editor to give my free mode character the same muscle mass as a fully-trained progressive mode char
also, ref, is that even legal?
dam didnt know you could send people flying with vanilla muscle mass
NOT ANSWERED 💔 (we need a questions channel istg)
we're a great duo
why didnt answer him then...plus it should be obvious that cuirass
it's up for debate
also john, did you change your controls in any way?
my controls? like my sensitivity and dpi?
Which one looks nicer
as in game controls
Use the one that looks nicer
like
They look equally good
switch weapon ands tuff
oh, then nah they're default
i have question was it just me or did yalls setting save over from the demo to main game
and does the tabard actually do anything? or does it just look nice
Afaik tabard is just for looks
Yes they use the same file. Kind of annoying
thats cool
onehanding a longsword feels so elegant
bolts only spawn in one chest on one map, spawning them with halfsword enhancer crashes the game immediately.. devs HATE us
i made a thread for specifically mercenary clips/screenshots
If Anyone was Interested in something like That
i know its historically inaccurate but they (or a mod) needs to add a rapier that you one-hand
youre holding it like a messer
Technically you can make one with the thin blade
Its a twohander naturally so I can only hold it that way 
yes but it swings like a messer
rewatch this video but stare at the far left and right its so trippy
nop
we need to be able to customize our weapons in the weapon smith
dos anyone have all the helmet pictures for half sword?
itd also help teach what makes a good weapon thus making weapon making easier
rather than
test>forge>test>forge>test>forge>test>forge>test>forge>test>forge>test>forge>test>forge

poor guy
p good fight going for mainly parries and legs
what is the highest rank for progression mode?
Lord
broski still thinks smoking is cool in the big 1475 🙄
ye
how
first time using crossbow, it might be a lil bit peak
The save editor I used made it easy for me to copy and paste the height and weight structs over from Player Character_0 into Free Mode Player Character 1_0, then I set both values to 1
for lord tourney what weapon should i use
9
10
1
assault rifle
I wish it wasn't a weird string
just like. 0/100
Yeah it's not the most intuitive thing
why is the ai so stupid
unfortunately, even if it really isnt meant to be
if only ai was as smart as this https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GJrwI4SD6es

dirty fight but he dead
Send clippy
Your finally getting the hang of ea im so proud of u
no this shit still sucks
i just know how to play around the bad parts
Which one
3
8
3
Sallet
Lmao yeah it’s not ideal, Once you get max weight and a proper sword balance it’s not too too bad though
the ai is still stupid and my sword still swings like ass
Prob bad balance if it swings bad
hell no
I’ve had one for a lil while now that handles nearly better than demo swords
balance got nothing to do with the way a structured block caves against a one handed glancing blow
then your demo swords were lowkey not very good to handle
thats not out of the question, demo swords were fairly random too
ive noticed that hard blocks really dont exist much anymore, its all glancing parries
id like to see that return
is he tuff?
hard blocks are all but gone
clueless btw you have no idea how broken blunt damage actually is.
I set the armor protection values to 1 million and every blunt weapon still knocks you on your ass with a hit to the head.
so at least some consciousness damage must be separate from normal damage, or they otherwise have a magical property that I haven't found yet.
probably related to why the damage sliders also didn't affect consciousness damage previously.
either you do beats or let it slide off
bro
concussion damage the biggest bullshit thing ever
i point my poleaxe at this guy and he just steps forward
and gently brushes himself to sleep
this was a fairly good hard block, but i have a feeling due to being crouched down his swing range was already ending at my sword/shoulder level
shields are one of the worst offenders for this imo, bucklers can knock out with one baby tap lmao
clips of both recieving and giving, shield just plows through anything without a helmet
I looked at shields, and it didn't look like their blunt damage is purposefully set too high.
the rigidity is set to like 0.85.
I think rigidity is a multiplier to mass (when doing the damage calculations)
thats interesting to note, like you said earlier its just blunt impacts as a whole, shields just have a big wide point of contact thats typically being pressed to your face so maybe thats why they seem worse
ok genius, but literally no other damage type works like this ingame.
I tried to find the point a basic mace can be tanked but rattle you just a little bit, with repeated strikes being required, and even at 1 million you still cant.
because a dude took a hit on his head irl, from a dude riding horseback with a mace and it did knock him on his ass, but he wasnt dead or almost dead.
you also didnt hear his skull make a squishy crack sound
sometimes id extend my buckler and walk to a zombie mfer fall from the slightest tap
and about 2 seconds of contact makes like 7 blunt hitting sounds
i think a major flaw in the combat system is that the momentum threshold for blunt damage seems extremely low, in the sense like how an enemy can hold their pollaxe to my legs and get 3-7 small blunt impacts rather than the initial swing impact
thats why its an issue on mere contact a lot of the time, and utterly kills grappling or binding attempts cause the most minor of taps are still behaving like full whacks
How the Merchant looks at me after selling me the piece of armor I just sold to him 30 seconds ago instead of the one thing I actually want:
compress yo damn videos
literally cant see any of them
or record in lower quality
skil issue
literally a discord issue lmfao
only honored ones get to watch clueless clips
sure buddy sure
if theres one upside its that those glancing parries still work quite well
HOLY DRAWCUT
if this was in the half sword universe dequitem would've died or been rendered a vegetable until he paid 60 to 90 pfennings to the innkeeper or local jester to rest and heal, forced to do errands or heal with time by training if he didn't have any.
https://youtube.com/shorts/vKsd0P2H29s?si=LuW0a2SWfXn9B_MY
turns out the lance knocked him on the ass, not the mace, so even I was being too charitable about the damage they should be doing.
oh and this is also a casted mace.

jfc forest is such a cancer when the physics send an uninsured weapon flying into the nether
never to be found again
Always insure weapons you like
hello
hello
If i drop insured items, do they come back still insured?
hi
W!!
The Hail Mary
type shit
yk i love the game but why does it run so poorly 😭
even cyber punk runs smoothly bruh
switch everything to low and use dx12
aight , waltuh . imma gonna trust yeh
better cook smth good if it aint workin
also use framegen
might need to update my drivers because my recording is stuttering and choppy
nevermind everything is up to date
this game is just unoptimized as hell 😭
guys after getting the hse ea the ue4ss doesnt load anymroe why
it plays well until i decapitate 3+ people with max blood
o
Evil knight Killing innocent peasant
if i use the launcher.exe i get the old hse and the new one and ue4ss doesnt show up
or maybe i have a virus or smth because WHY IS HALF MY RAM BEING TAKEN UP WHILE NOT HAVING ANYTHING OPEN
run so good
windows
thats it
how do I fix this
install linux
Well if there was a simple way to adorn peasant armor maybe it wouldnt be this way
True.
I still have windows since i have no idea how to install Linux.
so that I cant open 99% of the apps that I have on windows? no thanks.
not too hard tbh, LLMs will be your friend if shit hits the fan
i have dual boot set up
Im just gonna install a debloater if I can find one
debloaters will still not help you
alley riots starring wooden barrels
then what the hell do I do??
||THAT ISNT INSTALLING LINUX||
git gud
my screen recordings permanently look like this unless I debloat 😭
draw your screem recordings
use photoshop to make it flawless
PHOTOSHOP IS A PAID SERVICE THAT IS DONT HAVEFIJSWHEFIFGYESKFBEIB
-# pirate
No piratcy talk 
okay >:(
im aware that its an option but im deathly afraid of getting sued by a multibillion dollar company
Basic common sense alleviates that.
-# mods said no piracy talk
used to be obs but it used up a lot of performance so Im now using the built in windows game bar thing to record
you yapped
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WAY MORE TALKING
I HAD TO SEND 15K MESSAGES TO GET IMAGE PERMS ON ONE SERVER
and here it's just 300 or something
insane
its different in different servers?
Lol i was contacted by the owners of some show i was pirating
Actually they contacted my wifi provider
So use vpns
what will be your first image sent to this chat
not first
i already sent that
It was cheaper paying for a vpn than 3 streaming services for sure tho
Stop talking about piracy 
Its a cautionary tale
you wouldnt download a 13 million dollar penthouse appartment in New York City
I mean
why not
Can i?
wasnt that ad using stolen music lol
Guys, I have unlocked Militia rank. Do the ranks till Militia remain unlocked for every character I make after this one?
Yeah.
Any rank you unlock becomes permanent.
You just start fresh without keeping any items? Do the insured ones remain there for free play?
Any items and money in your inventory remain.
insured items you keep forever even if dropped
i love how we can send images of dismembered bodies but not saying anything bad about the lgbtq community
@grizzled arch @supple dagger Thank you!!
what did i do
nvm
haha
pretend i have very short term memory 😭
yeah so weird we can behave badly towards fake people but not real people 🤨
because I've been warned for sending a screenshot of someone disrespecting the lgbtq community
Don't worry, it happens to me as well! So insured items only get discarded when you sell them?
well yeah
deservedly so
It's a public server. Never go mask off.
too many spoilsports to mask off
it just saud they're weird
yes
buying them back removes insurance so you have to insure it again
nothing more
you just masked off by saying that
uhh
oh noooooo
sue me
hmmmmmmmmm
I'm calling my lawyer as we speak
@supple dagger So, no need to keep a backup save, I was thinking, to start from peasant, instead of beggar for other characters! Nice
well maybe you might need to have a backup file
The game likes to crash a lot and in rare cases deletes your save file
keep one just in case
I love pho
punch
i gotta desktop shortcut to my saves folder, and i sometimes switch them around
If i was still my super undeveloped toddler self i'd be so amazed of halfsword then proceed to get 2k virusses from downloading halfsword hindi version
How to play with remote play? Movement just doesnt work
Quite sure its different keys
i heard it worked like
Player 1 gets kb/m and player 2 gets gamepad
could also be a remote play problem, notoriously unstable on wifi
does anyone else's data got restted?
i just opened half sword and all my data got resetted
oof
starting a new save
ah yes my favorite half sword weapon
the wizard's wand
i guess i gotta do it all over again
i fucking died because the spell misfired
not recommended
very high reward tho
i hate u slums champion
love this character
Something tells me we're gonna have some more customization options
||maybe factions or facial hair idk||
u have to grab one of the barrels and do squats with it
No shot, you actually have to exercise
yes
Does it take long to do so? I really don't think I'll take the time for I've beaten the Baron plenty weighing 53 kgs
this is giving me vibes of ancient history
the star wars mod, of chivalry 1
i had to have been like 13 years old on a summer vacation
no-lifed the hell out of chiv 1 with those mods and everything
now im 28
btw i was kidding u dont actually have to do squats u just have to drain ur stamina, but i just gained weight by progressing in the game normally, not even worrying about weight
I mean, I've read about jumping in heavy armor so it's fair to believe anything.
training really does help
lmaoo
you know what would hit a spot?
a mod which uncapps muscle gain
i mean i think i gain weight faster when im wearing armor but maybe im just imagining things
ask mod lords
unironically just remove the cap on muscle gain
I might just use the Baron's peak for a while as it is heavy, maybe I can gain weight by swinging it
i think it could work yeah
b a l l
yeah true but eventually you’d just turn into hulk
i thought it was a female character at first
i would have earned it
out of every 10 fights, im training for at least 2 or 3 of them. just whenever i feel like it, i get training in.
Training?
The patron if he was sober:
Beautiful sword play
my recording is still fried 😭
yeah, talking to the guy who lets you hire mercs
i do the training there. i expend all of my stamina sprinting around and punching the (oddly dangerous) training dummy
and i get awarded with 1kg in muscle mass
they genuinely need to nerf blunts that is genuinely BULLSHIT
Insane.
yeah and buff joints
I honestly think it's realistic to get knocked out from a rock hitting your face proper.
if you wanna be a true knight of the realm, you should be able to dismantle that realm bare-handed
But who am I to judge, I play with max damage for both Willie and I 😭
Do you do so a bunch of times or only once?
it's NOT however realistic to get hit in the face with an axe in full plate and have your face liquified
i had a FUCKING GUN
They should nerf all weapons now that you can remove enemies armour. Blunt is crazy, blades are crazy and armour is not crazy :(
Do you remove their armor mid brawl?
not a bunch of times, but once or twice every now and then.
gotta remember: regular fights give muscle growth too
Knock them over, remove helmet, victory 
I mean, I really am technically good so I don't spend stamina in fights.
Like
At all
I just pop them in the head
you can do that now?
Or kick their balls if they plebs
Yeah as long as they are on the floor you can remove armour. Only exception being the lord
I'm thinking on doing that with the Baron ngl
insane
Oh, of course. 🙄
lol
this mf keeps swinging on me whenever i try to get him home
he needs your help 😢
Trip him and drag him on his ass
welcome to my life
I figured out why this is happening.
rigidity is blunt damage, but blunt damage is concussive damage, which armor doesnt have a protection stat for.
the values for most weapons are really small, only 1 or 2.
but the head seems to have a damage multiplier (or the effects are just really profound even if not much health is taken)
the wooden maul has the same blunt damage as the steel maul of a poleaxe.
these DUMB FUCK NPCS keep on ATTACKING ME
i usually do but ive started knocking him out and dragging him
Thats good too
WHEN IM TYRYING TO FUCKING MURDER THEM WITH MY GODLIKE SPELLS
i always drop my weapon to try to get him home nonlethally, forget he'll go for it, then end up killing him because now i have to
can u use ue4ss and the new ea hse at the same time ?
Chrome give the commoners ur spellbook plz
he needs your help 😢
he needs help jumping onto the spikes at the end of the alley
you gotta help him
thats what good knights do: silly quests and errands. right?
no
bruuuuuuuuuuuu
duplicate dll
oh
Does weight in a weapon matter? Sometimes it doesn't feel that way
only that? do i have to renmae it
heavier weapons hit harder, but are harder to handle. understandably this makes muscle growth important.
kicking mfs so hard in the nuts that they go flying
"keep your feet on the ground" Fuck you jester I'm gonna slime you out with a rifle
I assume it does, but rigidity multiplies the weight (for damage calculation, not actual weight)
or at least I theorize it does.
like when you hold ALT and you see your sword wobbling a bit as you move around in your stance
YEEEEEEEES
a stronger character would have less wobble with heavier weapons, easier control
Rigidity?
original rigidity, 2 blunt damage.
vs original rigidity, 0 blunt damage.
does anyone know if beating up a downed opponent after youve won a round helps build muscle faster?
i love that mallet
im so fucking dumb why did i shoot myself in the head
its the internal term for blunt damage within the game.
if you can hear your character panting, its a good sign
is the gun mod out 
no
Fah 💔
basically if hes panting im gaining muscle?
Ohhhh, I see.
that would make sense
i had a few where i put a fair bit of time into it and didnt see much
"euh blunt damage use sword use a mace" use your fucking TEETH bro
its what willie would want
uhhhh excuse me...???????
love it
henry really is quite hungry
OH MY GOD THAT'S SO VICERAL
more teeth footage
Just Bite, Bro™
half sword cannibalism play style before gta 6
Bite The Willie™
how do you do that?
puns ARE intended
Mods
they were defeated by my aura alone 🗿
yeah
its like watching the inflatable tube guys at the used car dealership
i know but what mod specifically
why is bro spinning a sign for a burger joint
Half Sword Enhancer
there r so many gun mods that are being gatekept by the creators :(
or theres a seperate mod just for biting too on nexus
Not gatekept, actively developed
There's a public gun mod out rn
I just put 2kg on in a 6 round brawl
THAT'S SO COOL
you can do that???
massive gains
Really? Did you spend stamina?
how do u flourish ur weapon like that?
i use that, where do i find that option
ngl i got really high and it just kinda happened...
unless I forgot to check after the previous match o.o
valid
thanks
wth is that? 😭
forgot i had more biting footage
oh shit its updated?
It's... An Ado sticker
assigned mercs are primary, and unassigned replace them if they die in a tourney right?
yess
cannibalism or lovers?
Cannibalistic lovers
Either or, it's hot.
😭
you remind me of someone i know
Oh really? How are they doing recently?
pretty decent i think
Where is the new goofy EA HS enhancer
The patron (I didnt have the clothes)
HAHA FUCKING IDIOT
nexus i think
#modders-guild-hall or check Nexus
Is that hair.
Alr ty
FINALLY
yes people grow hair on their head
DO U HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG THAT TOOK
Also I heard some talk abt that shit being a virus or smth
it isnt
it gives a wactac virus warning but it isnt
windows is gaslighting you
yes
yes its a virus, dump your pc in running water and throw it out the window
Ewwww
Disgusting
Hair in my willies
some like it
Sickening...
i dont know who originally took this screenshot
but it's got some aura in it
its kefka from final fantasy six
from temu
damn this one's got some aura too
I stand corrected.
I wish to gain this amazing amount of hair
I hope gore 3.0 allows the muscle layer to be removed, the old two layer gore system sucked but it had its moments.
that would be peak
what's the guy in the background doing
You do though, you look pretty
You play in first person mode, I fear you
brand new biting footage for you straight out of the oven (im actively playing half sword)
how well does biting work outside of brawls?
let me show you
STOP DOING THIS TO ME.
you are currently playing the secret multiplayer server and you keep killing power.
me and the patron
i hurt him really bad.
i altered his life. forever.
theres only 2 EA pictures that i sorta kinda like
that ive taken*
this from yesterday
this from god knows when
should i add a tank to the game
I like riding Willie's shoulders.
im not used to getting image perms this quickly
You should add a metal rod I can hit happy couples with.
Really? At what level do you get it?
What a party pooper...
Level 2
so what you're saying is you like riding willies, right?
here it's level 2
why are you putting this here theres literally a willie feet pics channel
wait
no there isnt
not anymore they removed it
I keep forgetting
💔
Mad aura
i got nepo babied into level 3 when levels were first added because I was part of the community and not a shitposter
Less than level 2 that's for sure
role
Won't take long tho
level 1
Usjkdjxb lol
yeah im really surprised that it takes so little to get image perms here
gotta yap for a couple hours
I mean
Who in their good minds would raid a half sword server
I got here yesterday
The Great April 1st Half Sword Attack™
i wasn't
it doesn't matter what server it is, there will be people who want to raid it and get the owner banned off discord
the slap of doom
Was it like feet picks or smth?
April 1st was when the playtest dropped, nobody liked it.
People joined the server en masse and shittalked the devs and mods for genuinely WEEKS straight
oh.
that's crazy. I liked the playtest.
it had flaws, but this all pre-dated the demo+gauntlet mode
People started sending gore and other strange shit IIRC so they introduced the level system for image perms
it was when the playtest merged with the experimental demo
The hell...
Ah yeah
How is the games performance after launch because i saw in steam reviews that the game doesnt run very well and i wanted to check here before i bought it
I have dementia because ive been in the server for so long
i had to get lvl 50 with arcane baso formula to get inage perms
whats your specs
steam review is a lie
Right, so like u couldn't play the demo no longer?
if u have anything above a 1080 gtx ur good
You could still play it if you had it installed
it was like 10k messages at least
imagine sending gore to the game which prides itself on having a complex blood and gore system
"here you go lads, this would make the game better"
You couldnt play the playtest
3060 is all i can remember off the top of my head and i cant check rn
yeknowwhatImeant
You could if you had it installed, it took the community like 10 minutes to realise they could just run playtest through the .exe
Wait no 3080
well they could send csam and get everyone's account limited and the server owner gone off discord
I have a 3050 and im running a solid 50-80 on high graphics on most maps
The November 22nd Blood day tragedy was a worse time 
I wasn't as active during then
What happened then?
That was when I had a big halfsword burnout
well when the update happened the playtest "ended" and people couldn't play it and all they could do was uninstall it
no one knew what happened because the april fools announcement didnt actually tell anyone what happened and there was no prior warning
They updated the playtest to add blood. People were very excited about this and started raiding the server to do every bad thing possible. At that time we would have around 10 mod actions a day. On blood day we had over 200.
THERE SHALL BE BLOODSHED
Thats what it is 
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD
forgive me sire
i found humor within the serious situation
do yiu have any insight into the development or are you just moderating the server
We get told like 30 minutes before an update releases but other than that we get no info. I just moderate
i see, i will annoy someone else with my questions then
?
when should I graduate from my flail? currently commoner
You don't.
never. flail is best weapon
great news
a pleb?
Beggar
how do you install mods
how is the game running at the moment performance wise as there is no point of me buying it atm i have 3050 and ryzen 5 3600
a 3050 should do fine on low settings (maybe medium. not sure)
i got 2 bitey bite bite clips, please disregard the radiohead i had in the second
i have a 3050 OEM
^ clips above show my performance on high graphics
should i buy bannerlord now or wait for chronicles medieval
@gleaming aspen get prank'd
more first person footage
okay damn, runs pretty well, gotta love radiohead
btw i have reshade and its still running good
Yokes on you, this is amazing.
yolks on me?
Thank you kindly
where did these eggs come from
From all the Willies I kicked them off of.
lmao
how can u make an asset flip and run it so badly
bait used to be believable
i should go back to running vampire class ngl
yea live in a bubble dude
i got so much stuff to expose with my gang, yt video coming soon
This is the first time I see a use for that dagger.
you can still get the golden rondel with the half sword enhancer mod
just sheathe and unsheathe
duel rondels are OP.
Didn't... Didn't you just slap the absolute living shit out of him
thrusts are so weird now for some reason
Okay touche
lol wtf?
The thrust for Rondel and normal weapons has been flipped somehow
at least thats like 90% of people's working theories
not just the thrusting with one handed swords
Seems like an attempt at a fencing stance
but like with long sword u really cant thrust anymore since they always lean to the right
gun
Is that chromes arquebus?
my game is not saving
how do i fix this bug?
Disable Steam Cloud.
on the game or the settings?
Riots are amazing
In the Steam library click on the game and go to properties and disable it there.
i miss one handed thrusting so much
If I remember right.
okay thanks
They still work fine in the left hand :)
This is also mentioned in the #common-issues-fixes channel, make sure to check it out.
if you grab your sword with two hands it works right
or bladed weapon
The rondel also does a regular thrust in the left hand. The wrist looks broken when you do it
That's a knife though...
i was trying to get the gun mod to work but didnt have a halfsword in my steamapps
bladed weapon
or if i jump and execute a back flip i can wield the knife with my toes and then id win knight of all time
and id get all of the princess kisses and all of the cold beverages
can anyone tell me how to install mods
what are you trying to install?
most mods have a readme in their files or an installation guide in the bio
most modders also hang out in #modders-guild-hall
Beef wellington mod
wtf is a beef wellington mod
Your character is replaced by a huge dude
drop the gamesave.sav file into your C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\HalfSwordUE5\Saved\SaveGames
It's just a huge ass character.
it didnt save
Is there a tutorial or something
find C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\HalfSwordUE5\Saved\SaveGames
drop gamesave.sav file from mod folder into game folder
Did you do what the #common-issues-fixes channel says?
i did
Also, before you do that. Back up your save, if you want to keep it i mean.
im going to talk to you more now
who was playing the game on baby mode
not exclusively a first person player its best to swap between them depending on who you face
i usually go first person for ranged weapons so i can gauge their distance easier
i use FPS mode to aim the crossbow
what
Thanks
baby mode
what the fuck
. . . This makes me want to play online so bad. I want to fight with someone so aggressive.
i could spend a whole minute aiming and id still miss with it.
and i think that's perfectly acceptable. I am not a poacher or a ranger or other sort of miserable wretch who shys away from melee bloodsport, I am a swordsman.
Sparring
if either of us figure out how to get splitscreen or an adjacent mod working id be down to try beat you to death with a mace
gotta love night time forest riots...
does anyone else feel like ea swords are significantly underpowered compared to demo 0.5 swords and other EA weapons?
for me its the opposite
underpowered? no. requiring more precision? definitely
i have reason to believe this is the muscle mass mechanic
like, in the demo. we played as willie. everyone played as willie. it's a static character who remains the same.
and then early access comes out. and our first characters are malnourished wretches who can't even lift their bedsheets.
probably that as well, i really wish we could just pick our muscularity level in free mode
i too thought that physics felt odd, but then i got a bit stronger and realized that at some point, we're all gonna be weaker/stronger than willie
the fact that free mode is so limited by the progression mode is a travesty
you kinda can but it requires a tad bit of modding
its got it's flaws but easily fixable
maybe by 2028 💀
updates take longer the more you want them
the thing that's annoying is that i'm fairly certain that muscularity affects endurance / durability, so blunt weapons basically got a major indirect buff because even mild pressure / force can knock you off
Blunt weapons are insane rn
Swords got buffed too but nothin compared to blunt
heavier weapon = one shot wonder
MY WEAPONS HAVE ABANDONED ME! D:
swords are alright where they are, balance wise.
We just need more options to wield them. Like mordhau mode.
a good pommel strike on a heavier sword would wipe anyone out.
its meant to be versitile
but uh, the war hammer exists.
9 days since the game abandoned
oh please
also this is also probably muscle related but it feels more difficult to aim / angle swords in first person (which was already a bit challenging but acquirable in the demo), like the angle of attack will often be far too high and you just hit the armor / helmet instead of the area you intended to slice, i hope the devs add an option for an angle of attack thing to see from first person
I can only aim the crossbow in first person
that black square is roughly the size of the entire playable area (forest)
why is the skybox so fucking big
you cant even see it
because in real life, even if you aren't able to see your sword most of the time when aiming an attack, you still know what the angle of attack is because of bodily clues and whatnot
you don't get that feeling or those clues in halfsword
also holy shit please nerf blunt shield damage, if you hit your head once lightly you get knocked out instantly on 2x damage
no you ca'nt lol
i'm literlaly using max fov in the SS lol
also devs gotta add separate sliders for first person fov and for third person fov
save file is broken so i had to reinstall it again
i tried everything and it didnt work
yee
i did bro
i mean its not that big of a deal
i really want to try to start from zero
Give bosses
it kinda sucks tho
i dont think the drunk guy made it home this time based on this photo
fkn true
bet
Chat, I need to know how can I beat my (new) friend's ass.
new movie maker edit just dropped...
your game quality is too high
true
play at the absolute worst most abyssmal settings possible
game already looks like it came out in 2012 lol
cap your fps to 25 then listen to linkin park
ngl in some areas no, the forest map on high graphics is genuinely kinda beautiful
yeah the foliage gives it away the most
and reflections
taking note for next time
movie maker is kinda goated
If you want to take it another level you could play on controller
the slow ass camera movements would sell it
Hey guys does someone know how to permanently delete the save file because my is corrupted
lol i could bust out my old 360 controller
also trying to find a video compressor that mimics old youtube videos is hard
cause they are too good now to be honest
the text is too readable!!!!!!
what you wanna do
Is get one of those phone editing apps
Put the video on there
Then just render it in the lowest quality possible
And repeat until your video looks as bad as you want it to
capcut work u think?
I’d use youcut
it’s basically capcut
without all the bloat
runs way better and way quicker
is it normal to launch into the nether realm when you hit a zombiee
👍 will check it out thx
your game ended on a cliffhanger
the gif doesnt show it but there was a frame of ULTRA stretched limb texture and shit across my screen before i flew off into the void
i was 80 kills through 280
once in the abyss I was fighting a zombie with an axe
my sword hit his axe in such a way
that the axe jittered and shot through my leg and dismembered it instantly
my character somehow survived and it was agonisingly slow because he’d get paralysed by pain 50% of the time but I somehow killed the last zombies and escaped
I was crawling on the floor and hitting them with a hammer
Holy shit i played this game for 10 minutes and then it started to perma crash its still crashing im trying since 2 days to fix it 😭
Im going nuts
amd or nividia?
Nvidia
Have you tried running the game in full screen instead of windowed or borderless
it runs way better and crashes less in my experience
Yes i tried running it in fullscreen , borderless windowed i also tried dx11 , dx12
Sometimes it crashes before i reach the main menu
I tried deleting the save file because that’s when the perma crash happend
I killed a guy in a match and then it froze
And then after that it perma crashes
Also tried reinstalling also tried nvidia drivers also resetted my whole windows
But yea nothing seems to work
try this
To reduce settings further in an attempt to conserve more resources:
-
Exit Half Sword then download the attached
engine.ini.txtfile and rename it toengine.ini -
Press
Windows key + Rto bring up a Run box, in the Run box put%LOCALAPPDATA%/HalfSwordUE5/Saved/Config/Windows/and click OK or press enter. -
Once you're in that directory place the
engine.inifile there. Right click>Properties on theengine.inifile and check the Read-Only box, or it will get deleted upon starting the game.
Do you think that the game is too much for my pc?
what's your specs
4080 Gtx 16gb
cpu?
With a i9 14900Kf
no you should be alright. Try the config see how it does. Update bios firmware too
trying the config right now give me 10 minutes
it still crashes on start up
When you deleted the save file, did you turn off steam cloud?
yes i did that
did it crash before this incident?
before that one kill happend no it never crashed
it would be funny if they made the muscle and height editor part of the base game
have you deleted the Half Sword folder entirely from your steamapps directory and reinstalled? Also, not just the GameProgress.sav, delete (or move elsewhere) your entire "Saved" folder in %localappdata%\HalfSwordUE5\
before the kill i played the game on epic graphics without a problem now i have it on low and it insta crashes sometimes i dont make it even to the main menu
When Comes next update
i have deleted the whole game, and then the whole folders from %localappdata% to be save
when's the last time you restarted your pc
do you mean like a normal reset or whole windows reset?
a restart, not shutdown startup
1 hour ago
lol
running windows?
yes
if so, try re-installing windows cuz it's a thing that happens where old installs get slower and slower
do you think its possible that the game corrupted my graphics card ?
I did it a few months ago and it was like night and day
i did that yesterday
games can't corrupt video cards
I doubt it. How long have you had your gpu? Do other games run fine?
i have this pc since 2 years now , everything else is running fine
just half sword and its demo
thats the only thing not running
and one year ago i was playing the demo without any problems
so the crash is also affecting the demo?
yes i tried running the demo yesterday to see if its also effected
it is
cant even play that
crashes before main menu just like the main game
reinstalled the OS?
i MAY of went abit overboard
yep whole windows reinstall i removed every file possible
WHY CANT I SWING????
basically my windows is fresh reinstalled has only steam , nvidia, and the game
witchcraft
i have the error code if you want it guys
''i feel a...sence of dread.....but i just cant seem to land on what it could be.."
LowLevelFatalError [File:C:\Halfsword\Engine\Source\Runtime\Windows\D3D11RHI\Private\D3D11Util.cpp] [Line: 236]

Crash in runnable thread Background Worker #17
are you using KBM or controller?
kbm
mouse dpi?
here @fallen glacier if that helps it
dpi?
dots per inch
alright do this - make sure steam cloud is turned off for half sword and half sword demo both. Goto %localappdata%\HalfSwordUE5\ and delete the entire Saved folder. Then goto steamapps\common and delete both the Half Sword and Half Sword Demo folders. Test it again. If it crashes, open event viewer -
This crash is from eventviewer?
try running in dx12 mode, that's what your card's made for
also putted that in the start option plus settings
well then iunno, upgrade/reinstall your video drivers
it's basically how many times the mouse tells the pc to move the cursor per inch of mouse movement, think of it like a hardware level mouse sensitivity
im not sure. how do i check?
im gonna try that , i got the error code by copying the error box it gave me
if you don't know it it's fine. have you changed the in game sensitivity at all?
whats goin on
mama
Good, but in event viewer, goto Windows Logs> right click Application>Filter Current Log, check Critical, Warning and Error, then send a screenshot of the window
fake
after you test
im eating chocolate rn what do you think
Someone tell mee when te update come
omg no its real
that's what i came here to find out 😭
white+brown chocolate with oreo pieces inside
😭
god i love it
you've tried -force d3d12?
i tried the -dx12 one
okay i cant upload pictures can i send it to you privately @fallen glacier ?
yes, or in #photography📷 whichever is cool
better #game-footage-🎮🎥
is there an end in abyss mode?
yea #photography📷 has a cooldown and stuff use #game-footage-🎮🎥
or does it like go to lord rank
i have sended to you privately
i love when mobile devs use footage from a non mobile game and keep all of the keybinds on the screen

did someone used the player 2 feature?
how to hard reset progress?
your saves folder is in AppData\Local\HalfSwordUE5
mine looks like this
the folder called "saved" is your actual save file
config, crashes, logs, savegames
the entire folder could be deleted

or gameprogress.sav
