You came back after a few years of not playing just to blow a gasket in front of everyone?

Ok....

Cool story. Thanks for letting us know.

Cool story. Thanks for letting us know.

This story lasts for many years already.
- FPS drop from 144 to 30-40 in Dishong tower
- random FPS drops and freezes
- FPS drops and stuttering due to zombie groups
- dumb "find the random book" skills system

P.S. you are welcome. Enjoy.

i really liked the "do a thing get exp" system from back in the gap.
Bert yes game still runs v poopy for being so old and i dont think its going to get much better. Though FPS issues really stop being a problem if you run a solo game from your machine and restrict yourself to 6k or 8k map size and dump some of the more unnecessary settings. just ya know my two cents.

Give Ravenhearst mod a try.

The magazine system is too hard, huh? Put a few points into the skills you want to find magazines for then go find a Crack A Book and loot it. You should be able to get 50+ magazines & perk books from that.

Still not enough? Go find another city and another Crack A Book. Loot some mailboxes and newspaper dispensers along the way.

Doing that 3 times should net you close to 200 magazines & perk books, most of which will be related to whatever skill you put points into, and take maybe 1 hour of game play.

You are correct in that the magazine system is a bit silly, but not because it is difficult rather because it is so easy.

I am playing on high settings with a 13700K, 32GB of RAM and RX6600XT, 1080p and i get more FPS than you in dishong. No issues with groups. Sure 64 at once do cause like 45 FPS but no slideshow or stuttering.

Are you trying to play in 4K with a 4070 and mindlessly put everything on ultra?

@Pain Weasel The magazines suck because it turned the game into a min/max magazine searching simulator. It´s always the same, look for a crack a book and you can´t go past a single mailbox. It sucks. And in MP you can add cloth searching simulator.

Yes because having a 4070 means all your problems will be fixed.

Hold up.

If running around after the world has been destroyed spending your time checking mailboxes was good enough for Kevin Costner its good enough for us.

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night nor zombie apocalypse stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds" - unofficial motto of the USPS.

seriously though, it is a goofy, boring mechanic but it isn't difficult or even totally random.

Well, not anymore...
Those are so ANCIENT and should be Thrown Away Immediately.

Get yourself a NEW RTX 5090 to fix all of your problems (and drain your bank account).
I just wish SLI was still a thing so I could be rockin' TWO $2500 cards...

You can see how many hours I've played, so:
- extremely dumb "find the random book" skills system. That's what made me quit.
- 30FPS in towers with i7-14700+RTX4070? Amazing!
- random slide show and jerking due to zombie groups
- zombie's head hit box ditched and shrinked to one pixel size. Arrows and bullets just flying through heads
- day 8 - 10 armored biker/soldier feral+green T2 and 25 armored biker/soldier feral+green zombies in T3 mission? Cool.

Good job, devs! Keep destroying your game.

Hi, dumbmaster speaking:
- If you play now alone or in a group, you'll never be a killing machine in a few days, for the same result you must visit all POI's you can, but with the issue of daytime, so, game became harder.
- With my potato, i7-4970 + 1070 gtx, lowering specs and didnt have any real issue, maybe the only complain i have is lowering detail of strip zombie and cant watch her with detail.
- Aha, so because the game is more lively with spawning random zed parties and avoiding a dull game is bad? interesting.
- Then hit other body parts, with a tier 6 weapon and full mods, there will be no issue anymore.
- Balance your game, if you had those zeds on T2 and T3 missions at these days, then your minimum gamestage was at least 150-200, why balance? if you put 5 million % of loot chance, is normal your current game scaled outrageous.

Hope next time, you'll find anything suitable for your taste, and try mods if vanilla lack of something.

How can I see how many hours you have played? Your profile is private lol. Since we are comparing time and grade, look at how many hours I have! Whoooeeee. Not counting a grand or two maods which I only started playing after over a decade of vanilla. I win:-) just sayin Cheers

Right. Nobody is arguing that its hard, the concern has always been that its not fun.

11,114 - Very Impressive.
However, I'm not sure "win" means what you think it does.

BTW: I have similar hours in No Man's Sky. To bad we can't teach PhD Level Gaming...

I find it quite playable.

I agree I just wish they would increase the challenge some. The first 4 difficulty levels are like hand-holding story mode. I'd like to see more zeds with high damage ranged attacks, and more variety of attack types. The crouch+leg sweep was a good start.

Honestly I simply wouldn't play a game that I don't think is fun. I've bought AAA titles and stopped playing them after 1 hour, and never looked back. Mistakes happen.
