Don't know how it's gonna be later but at the start you can't take any hits

got victory royale on second game

#

because you play with bots

is made on purpose

proud jay

first game definetely seemed like bots

#

second game though

#

also this is not my first time playing

median wraith
#

mixed usually

#

no but it takes the time you played recently etc

#

say rank too and skills

#

so you keep playing and buy something

#

cars game mode is really cool

proud jay
#

well I already have 240 hours played

#

one win is not gonna change my mind

#

I've won plenty

cursive crypt

also you don't get a victory crown in a bot lobby

and I did get one just now

anyway, time for some coffee

proud jay

just don't play skyrim

#

I suggest testing the start of the game each batch of mods.
Many mods also require you to build a merged patch yourself at the end.

#

An option is also to just install a Collection, but I haven't seen one which I like. There are some which covers partially my ideas, but if you install more than one - again merged patch.

#

True.

#

I got used to Alternate Starts tho (+ extension).

#

That scene reminded me of something I read about it.
At some point they found out that the cart just launches in space down the road.
Turns out somebody forgot to remove the collision of some flying bug, the horse was colliding, but the bug was invisible. Physics computes gave up at some point and the result was launch in space.

#

btw, the 0,0 coordinate is next to Whiterun. There is a camp of Giants in the near west and a fireplace. Just above the fireplace.

summer cedar
#

I took almost eight hours (with abundant pauses in between because of work) to finish off the bloody Old Sarkorian Undead Spectre. To be fair, said spectre was many levels higher than my entire party, but I was too bloody obstinate to retreat and return stronger.

cursive crypt
#

wait, why the cart is in the air?

#

lol

#

So, it must be a mashup of mods touching the objects collisions.

#

These uuh, I forgot their names. Some of them touch the textures only, other the mesh itself.

#

Never launched that game unmodded 🤔

#

At least the comunity patch.

#

USSEP

summer cedar
#

I've never achieved cart telekinesis. You have achieved a new height in Dovahkin mastery.

fathom wadi
#

I played Skyrim unmodded and it was one of the worst game experiences I ever had. Only beaten by the release of Fallout New Vegas. 😄

cursive crypt
#

Bethesda are like this.

summer cedar
#

Especially these days, what with all the cool improvements and enhancements available for it.

cursive crypt
#

Always mod their games.

fathom wadi
#

To be fair, I found Starfield worked out ok. Although I did mod the menu system to add more information because the UI was poorly designed

cursive crypt
#

Nah, waiting at least for 50% discount and 2 years of mods there.
I tried it for 2-3 hours and started to hate it.

fathom wadi
#

the first two hours are a bit dull tbh. Mostly go here, talk, go there, talk more. But once you get into the faction quests it gets really fun

cursive crypt
#

Told ya, try to remove mesh mods or do a bisect uncheck of your mod list, untill you find the culprit.

fathom wadi
#

I heard they are doing a remaster of Oblivion, which I don't understand at all. Graphically for it's time it was great, but the real issue with the game was in the gameplay and auto-levelling of mobs. If they can improve those I might play it again.

cursive crypt
#

They - Bethesda?

fathom wadi
#

yeah

cursive crypt
#

They definitely need to patch the gameplay as you said tho.

#

I kinda jumped over Oblivion, Morrowind was pretty good.

summer cedar
#

Starfield's problem was that it turned out to be a 'good' game, instead of a great game that it could've been Bethesda had included all the QoL that modders included WITHOUT modding tools.

fathom wadi
#

Oblivion was one of the first tiple A attempts at first person RPGs. So it had things going for it at the time but today it wouldn't hold up

summer cedar
#

Now Beth is basically including the mods in the original game.

#

Exemplar Gratia, custom power settings.

fathom wadi
#

Yeah Bethesda always expect their community to fix their bullshit

cursive crypt
fathom wadi
#

free game dev as far as they are concerned

summer cedar
#

Hey, at least they didn't charge money for fast travel. 😛

#

Yeah.

#

It looks good, too.

#

I just worry that by the time they finish and release it, it won't be 'cool' enough for anyone except hardcore ES fans.

fathom wadi
#

Cyberpunk 2077 included some modders work in the game which was nice. Someone fixed up the romance options and they added it. I just wish they would add the nudey sex pack too so I can get the horn whilst I play :p

summer cedar
#

But, that other mod for Skyrim is absolutely amazing. Endrian something.

#

Total overhaul with a great story.

#

Sorry. It's called Enderal

#

And now, there're two of them. Enderal: Forgotten Stories and Enderal: The Shards of Order.

fathom wadi
#

Enderhole : The sharts of order. The smelliest mod around

summer cedar
#

Well, that probably has a sequel, Endeodrant: The Smell of Honey, or some such.

fathom wadi
#

yeah if it's above 10fps it's not what Bethesda intended according to the release performance :p

#

it's likely physx so that would tell me it needs capping

summer cedar
#

Hey, let the cart go flying.
If it hits Alduin by accident, you'll finish the game before you even start.

fathom wadi
#

yeah not back in them days

#

I only play games at 60fps by default thanks to my 60hz monitor telling me to.

cursive crypt
#

Never had that problem, on other hand I can't boot more than 40-50 fps due to the amount of mods anyway 🙂

#

Damn, I sneezed and farted at the same time.

right.. just watched a 11 minutes video of some immigrant talking how the US is the pinnacle of crimes, trash food, trash health care system, how she suffered panic, depression, gained weight, blablabla... And the video's title is clickbait "The truth that they want to hide from you!".

soft night
slim atlas
#

The us does indeed have very very big problems in crime

#

and a giant portion of that is caused not by the immigrant population

#

only 5% of the fentanyl in the US came from the mexican border

I used most of the time the first three too. As my PC was uugh... kinda mage, the fox was not needed (most annoying companion quest she has btw).

#

Are you conquering the big city north? Looks like the tavern in it.

#

Memories are still in the RAM.

summer cedar
#

Yeah, it's the Drezen siege. Right now, I've cleared the city (the tavern too) and am roaming the rooftops in search of giants.

#

You'd imagine those are easy to see, considering how tall they are, but noooo! I must scourge the map.

#

I can't wait to murder that traitorous hafling. The baphomet mage minotaur cultist she made me go up against, was tough.

cursive crypt
#

Regill and the paladin are good combo, were for me. The archer did some help with his true shots too.

summer cedar
#

Yep. Regill is great. I didn't know his gnome hook hammer is a dual-wielding weapon.

#

He is Lawful Evil, sadly and my player character is Lawful Good soon-to-be-great-dragon.

cursive crypt
#

Ye, I was surprised too. It looks more like two handed.

summer cedar
#

Apparently, the only way to find out is to see the attack illustration in the character screen. You get dual-wielding calculations with gnome hammers. PITA, I tell you. Pure PITA.

cursive crypt
#

He can turn in more good person, kinda. Still pretty punctual and conservative, but he played well with my neutral good.

summer cedar
#

I think he should've been Lawful Neutral, honestly.

#

🤷

#

Ember is turning into a deadly fire blaster, but my custom Fox mage is better than her. 😄

#

My PC is a Sohei, spamming 5 attacks with the longbow at level 8. 😄

cursive crypt
#

I was unable to stand Ender. Such a cliche I felt cringe.

#

Aa fighter, I played only once.

summer cedar
#

Sohei - monk sub-class. Close, but no cigar. 😛

#

I multi-classed into Dragon Disciple and I think I'll take Bloodline Ascendant myth perk next. That gives you Level 20 dragon immunities.

#

Unless Woljiff comes back, that tiefling is going to be replaced by Arushael VERY soon. Demonic good succubus FTW.

cursive crypt
#

oof, I'm not into power gaming, tho I did spent good time choosing.

#

Woljif and the annoying Oracle were my other two companions

summer cedar
#

I spent FOUR hours just reading all the character creation choices... FOR THE THIRD TIME!!!!

#

😰

cursive crypt
#

If you scroll back several weeks ago you will see me creating a char for few days. I swear, I had power outage 2/3 of the times. And each time I was rereading the same stuff basically. Too much info.

summer cedar
#

Yep. I wish I had studied D&D rules and Pathfinder Lore in school, instead of all that Civics, Geography, Science crap.

#

I'd have actually enjoyed school then.

cursive crypt
#

My dnd memories are still in 3.5

#

I was trying to understand for Pathfinder how are the spheres/dimensions/world layered, but I don't anyone knows actually.

#

All maps were so different.

summer cedar
#

Spheres are the exclusive domains of Gods and Powers that grant you buffs, I think.
Dimensions are where the different creatures - demons, fey, elementals, etc. - reside.

soft night
summer cedar
#

Worlds are places created by Gods - I think - and contract serious issues if anything happens to said Gods.

cursive crypt
#

haha, well that was the level of explanation I got too

summer cedar
#

Which is how the Golareon - something - gets screwed up, because the Queen's hubby / immortal boyfriend God gets killed somehow.

#

I assume he's dead, since the game says that his returning ritual was ruined somehow.

#

Either way, Gods screw up our worlds and leave us to fix it all.

#

Just Metamagic Quickened Snowball.

#

Now, I can fire it off as a Swift Action spell. But, it's level 5 now.

cursive crypt
#

Ah, I remembered, I played Magus.

#

And you know their special ability? Mana pool for recycling into magic? I never used it.

summer cedar
#

I didn't go for that sub-class, but I was intrigued.

#

I multi-classed into Loremaster.

#

It's insane. You get to pick ANY feat as part of the Loremaster's SECRETS.

#

You can skip the pre-requisites of the highest level feats, too.

#

Going straight to Greater Spell Penetration, for example.

cursive crypt
#

I always power up the penetration too.

#

It is kinda bad the caster levels are screwed on the Epic Hero path.

@trail ore am Istupid or does shit like grass, saplings, seeds, stumps, and rocks randomly generate on your farm everytime you sleep?

One of the first feats I took was to ignore the elemental resistance & immunities toward that element. Instanely good feat.

summer cedar

My fox is a Cold specialist.

#

Ember is a Fire specialist, naturally.

#

I am happy I didn't take electricity.

So many bosses are electric-immune.

#

Trees give materials to make an energy bar, and they're very common

They restore 45 energy, that's 3 trees. And you get will get acorns and pine cones from them

When making an archer, make sure to get the Precise Shot feat a.s.a.p.

Oooh! Just learned something. Remember in Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind that at one point in the main story your character has to become the "Hortator", or war leader, of the 3 great houses? In Latin, "hortātor" is the verb for "will cheer or encourage.

The Hortator is the one who encourages the great houses to go to war!

That's pretty much his role. They needed someone to unite them against Dagoth Ur and although the three heroes - Vivec, Sotha Sil, and the other lady - are powerful to face Dagoth, they have their own agendas and foibles. Someone on the top of the food chain, namely Nerevar under Moon and Star could force them together, by hook or crook, and then end up facing Dagoth by himself anyway. 🤣

Hi

median wraith
#

I had other plugin from the marketplace that they gave form free, tbh aside from the effect iself seems kinda limited, reminds me more of the one in star wars

#

Wondering mayself if they finally ported the tessellation in runtime as 4.27 used to have for water

median wraith
#

Yeah but for custom shaders as you point isn't the case

timber viper
#

Hm?

#

@median wraith how do we debug what unaccounted is in gpu profiller burn

median wraith
#

what?

timber viper
#

[unaccounted] in profilegpu/insights

#

I cant find whats causing its to become too high

median wraith
#

I didn't used the profiler on 5.x yet

#

and there are new sub profilers for 5.4

timber viper
#

Interesting

median wraith
#

should be listed ? idk

timber viper
#

Its same in 4.27 btw

#

profilegpu command

#

It shows [unaccounted] too

median wraith
#

you are using some custom shaders or so ?

timber viper
#

Yes

#

Its a bit blurry screenshot but thats what I have currently

median wraith
#

use the other profiler, what it display

#

the gpu one

#

maybe is other elements of the editor you have open

#

use the other one

timber viper
median wraith
#

oh wait

timber viper
#

I profiled in shipping too, its roughly close

median wraith
timber viper
#

thats insights, but practically same with profilegpu

median wraith
#

oh okay

#

make sure you set the game viewport full screen

#

and close all the subwindows

#

then profile with the profilegpu

#

Some times tou can use external tools but the ones include with ue are pretty good

timber viper
#

loading map to profile brb

median wraith
#

Once the shaders are create you can set categories, I mean plugin or core ones, no node graph ones for the debug display and other use cases, so that's why asking at the first, some times those aren't set, but should count in different place

timber viper
#

how can I enter profilegpu command on fullscreen though Thonk

#

console wont open without PIE

#

(I'm optimizing editor usage intentionally)

timber viper
timber viper
median wraith
#

I have said shaders, no materials

timber viper
#

doesnt materials produce shaders though 😅

median wraith
#

materials are shaders too yeah, but aren't core shaders as is

#

shader mechanics

#

call it x

#

same way volumetric fog have their logic in a category

timber viper
#

i see

median wraith
#

damm son 28ms

timber viper
#

in editor when whole WP is loaded*

#

this cause issues for designers so I'm optimizing editor time to reach 30fps at least

#

currently its around 15-20fps for some people

median wraith
#

wait you aren't using Lumen ?

timber viper
#

I do

median wraith
#

lumen is accounted as IndirectAO ?

#

wtf

#

also what occlusion method are you using here ?

#

idk how the level looks but is a open world thing maybe due that numbs

timber viper
#

a lot of foliages

#

and many individual (meged) SMs

#

probably solve majority of the issue

#

but I still have 22ms of unaccounted other than this

#

so I'm trying to understand what it is

median wraith
#

you were using Nanite or

timber viper
#

nanite

median wraith
#

idk yet about new techs on UE5 for nanite and such but technically don't it automatically create them ?

#

with one of my last clients for mobile I had to create a custom HLODs system

timber viper
median wraith
#

due the issues with the UE4 one

timber viper
#

you need to build HLODs with an asset that describes what kind of a thing you want

#

and it usually takes 1hours

#

on a scale of 100k actors

#

then fails because of a random error that isnt logged

median wraith
#

we had issues with HLODs and baked light

#

nightmares

#

back in 4.x the best version to move on was the 4.6

#

maybe with 5.x happen the same, but should be technically more advanced from start

timber viper
#

HLODs are for distant objects though, no? Thonk

median wraith
#

Yeah

#

well you can use for indoors too, don't need to be "distant"

#

split an area in rooms you don't see directly, once you reach an area load it

slim atlas
#

Even the hevedy couldnt help 😦

timber viper
#

someone from the team found a rendering engineer to look at to the issue

#

we'll have a meeting on wednesday with him

#

i have a rough idea whats going on already but its just lack of options to debug wtf is [unaccounted] remains as a question

oblique cloak
#

jesus it works 😮

timber viper
#

We dont have custom GPU code though Thonk

#

how do they even profile fortnite

#

this sucks

median wraith
#

So basically what I pointed out

timber viper
#

yes but its out of any developer's scope

#

its not like anyone can deep dive into renderer code and add custom scopes

median wraith
#

Maybe you guys are using external plugins code or something

#

or early access features

#

or god knows

timber viper
#

maybe dlss, but we disabled it

#

there is also groom but thats not within [unaccounted]

median wraith
#

maybe could be a specific part of groom or anything you guys are using under dev status

timber viper
#

groom takes 22ms on runtime

#

rest of the 50ms is unknown CB_kek

median wraith
#

RenderDoc or GPU PerfStudio to check those

timber viper
#

hmmmm wait

#

renderdoc

#

why didnt I think of this

#

its like external profiler right?

#

similar to insights

median wraith
#

you are technical artist or programmer or what ? @timber viper just asking

timber viper
#

I'm a programmer

#

with no GPU familiarity

cursive crypt
#

What kind of animal...

median wraith
#

Well then should be the technical artist or the render engineer as you pointed out the ones checking

#

but feels like that, someone is using things shouldn't

timber viper
median wraith
#

oh okay

timber viper
#

because no one else is the team knows how to

#

the rendering engineer we'll talk to next week probably going to ask renderdoc anyway

#

so its better to check it upfront

median wraith
#

you get the money faster right

#

lmao

timber viper
#

i would prefer to not waste my time on this

#

but it causes demotivation and issues across the team

slim atlas
#

i would prefer to make money!

timber viper
#

so I'm rather taking initiative

median wraith
#

One day my brain will explode by all the different task I end doing related with this things

at worst you get a terrible burnout that lasts months

which happened to me with bp2cpp at the beginning of this year

slim atlas
#

i hope you get your issues fixed

median wraith
#

then spend 3 months doing core tools for rendering, someone comes and ask you if you are even artist, then come back to art team todo the illumination, particles and shaders and then ask you if you know to do C++

#

it's like the never ending cycle of life

median wraith
#

or a no supportive/good members in the team

#

unsure yet whats worst

timber viper
#

best way to cure burnout is touching grass

#

for at least 5 days

median wraith
#

yeah on those cases you need a whole month for you

#

and drop this thing

slim atlas

#

i want to know the answer

#

why does the project have such bad fps

timber viper
#

my burnout is from bp2cpp not the project you saw

#

the worst issue I dealt on that project is just my regular day of work

slim atlas
#

yee but that other project

#

needs to be fixed

#

i want to know what the problem is

#

😦

median wraith
#

I cannot mix clients and self projects

#

is a burnout

when I first joined they werent able to open many things in the editor

crashes each 10 mins or so

#

it was like slipspace engine

#

any action has 75% chance of crashing editor without saving

#

tbf 75% of the issues were engine bugs induced by 5.3

#

its just they didnt have a programmer to deep dive into Blueprint internals and debug the VM or resolve corrupted references across GC

slim atlas
#

its alot of money you are milking this

#

i am happy for you

#

but i dont make money from it

#

so i am sad.

timber viper
#

I offered them something lower than my lowest hourly rate

#

I'm not getting enough to justify the low-level efforts I do in the programming side but I'm still consent

because I dont have any specific workhours

I can stop working for 6 months and randomly come back

Just a reminder to always do research and reverse image search/any search references given before hiring someone.

Some artist just tried to give me literally the first result on google for a logo reference he "drew himself for a client."

slim atlas

well

just look 1 channel below us

that is the new reality of fake artists and scammers

They are openly endorsing theft

Yeah it's pretty awful. The worst part is, this person is a moderator for an artist commission FB group

#

So I'm not even sure how to report it without them finding the report first and deleting the request

slim atlas
#

fuck facebook

upper oracle
#

The weird thing is that the rest of their examples, I can't find. So I am inclined to believe they did do those ones themself. But when I asked if they specifically had done anything with wings (Because I wanted a crow logo) they sent me the most generic eagle symbol from vector art royalty free websites that's all over google.

slim atlas
#

what happened when you showed this evidence?

upper oracle
#

I didn't. I just told them that sorry, I'm dealing with another artist issue atm and will get back to them. Because I want to try and report to other admins without them trying to backpedal or find an excuse/way out in time.

slim atlas

mh ok

good on you

upper oracle
#

Yeah it was this here

2f7f291d5eece66925f3183073ac8456.png
#

It's on a couple websites for royalty free art. And maybe these websites steal artist work and he's a victim? But other than that I doubt it.

Also because it doesn't look anything like the other references they had.

#

It's also weird because in my initial post I stated I wanted someone who can do wings for a crow logo, yet they left it out of their initial comment response and didn't give me this until I asked a second time in DMs if they had one.

You know, there's this funny thing I've noticed in mobile games. Every single mobile game that features flying (a starship could be considered to fly in a sense) always has the roll locked. You cannot change your craft roll axis beyond a tiny amount, so the only two ways you have to control is pitch and yaw, which conveniently is very easy to map to a XY input system.

I first thought this was a problem in the smartphone chipsets and you couldn't compute roll changes quickly and efficiently for an actual game. Turns out, that it's just developers being lazy. I tested my game on my phone and it's doing the roll maneuvers perfectly fine. It is a bit uncomfortable to use because of the limited screenspace and input modes on a phone, but that's a UI/UX issue

The benefits of pc are too little if you factor in your personal comfort

do you play with controller

or you just spam the nuke with arrow keys, or how do the strategems work

empty dune

Oh is that what you're worried about? Okay so, till now I've never heard anyone complain about aiming on the ps, the game seems to have just the right auto aim to help you but not carry you

Strategems work via the D-pad on the controller

and on kb?

WASD

Or arrow if you rebind

#

yea that's more like central

#

considering how far up finland, etc. are

but i would say anywhere from 10 - 20 euro (you can spend more ofc...)

#

but they kind of all doubled their prices since 5 years ago

median wraith
#

but yeah taking Finland in account etc...

median wraith
proud jay
#

I think for just like one meal at lunch or whatever it's like aruond 20 ish euros

uh, here is too 20€

celest musk

well, we have an italien place here which still sells a good pizza for <10 euro

that's crazy

but idk the prices of their drinks, so maybe they make it up with that

I'm wondering if we have the prices of north europe already on everything, why the income didn't rise

proud jay
#

we only get that on crazy tuesday at pizza hut, then it's 6.95 for a pizza

but pizza hut is not all that

otherwise pizza is like 13 - 20 euros depending on which one you get

you can just choose between two foods (usually)

I don't think I've ever seen a fully fixed menu

I mean, of course ala carte is

but lunch menus are different each day, maybe on a few week rotation

here is like an economic method lets say

#

rather than choose youself each plate and end paying 25€

you can choose this and pay 19€

does that at least include some drink?

I can get a 45cm pizza for $32
