The fixed loading time thing from ENB is that he's fixed it but hasn't released the next version yet until he adds/ fixes a few other things, so will be a bit before it's out.

Tinker with your audio settings. I have a Xonar Essence soundcard and setting it to 8 channel instantly fixed the volume woes.

I have an STX, and I have tried every single setting I could with the card. I've also updated the drivers to both the card and my video card, as well as making sure not to install Nvidia's HD sound (which has never been an issue since it's not a factor unless selecting anything other than the STX for sound). I haven't had any volume issues, but I have constant crackling or popping every 6s - 10s or so when moving around. It's driving me nuts. The last time I had an issue like this was in '98, and it was a motherboard issue. That's not the case this time.

Just gotta get a god mode mod and you're all set!

This is actually being done in pursuit of a "no fall damage" mod but I'm having a heck of a time finding the right value to tweak.

SMAA injection with GEDOSATO is clean af.

It does look really, really nice. Some minor downsampling + SMAA gives some great IQ. I recommend using Lanczos scaling if you want to have a really crisp image.

noif you're still using that stuff at 40, you're doing some mad grinding. You should have much better armor by then

I'm like level 35 and I'm only on the Griffin Hunt / Trial section of the main quest and there's not much better than say, the DLC snake arm thing yet. Haven't been grinding but have been doing as many (story) quests as I can and exploring a lot.

I put the pull request in, but if you don't want to wait until then you can pull the raw post.fx file from here, add it to DDDA's config folder in GeDo, enable Deband shader, and enable postprocessing in the GeDo settings.

Alternatively, you can just use Reshade, but Reshade still applys post processing to the HUD.

How do you apply this to Reshade or GeDoSaTo? talk to me like I'm 5.

I'm using Sweetfx right now to get rid of the yellowing and to make the game look better. Do you recommend using GeDoSaTo instead? or stick with what I'm using. (disclaimer: What I got look pretty good right now, but I thought GeDoSaTo might look better?)

I have crackling issues as well, though not as frequently as you. No dedicated sound card in my setup.

Sorta off-topic, but what are you all using to record gameplay? I'm using shadowplay, but all my playback has several moments of stuttering. I've got like 10 videos, and none of them are solid, even though my actual gameplay performance in-game was just fine.

I want to upload some video, but I can't really use anything I've got.

the lion arm I'm still using at lvl 30, but I found a replacement chest piece on a mainline quest that was superior and the store is selling comparable armor now

But yeah, the stuff is hardly overpowered. The early game hurdles (bandit group by the large rock on the way to the witch hunt, ogres) will still wreck you if you're not on top of your game.
 
Whichever Gaffer that gifted me this, thanks. I mean really.

This game is phenomenal.

I'm about level 10 now, got some proper armor and better weapons for my strider. I'm rolling three pawns, two mages, one warrior.

Is there a way to tell an npc you are escorting to stay in one place? This old man keeps running into the middle of battles and dying like an idiot.

Also this game needs a way to load last save instead of just last checkpoint. You either have to die to do it or exit to the menu.
I think I killed over a hundred wolves really starting to get tired of them :/

Man this game is damn good. Can't wait to see what the STEAMSPY numbers are after all the numbers are in.

Still sitting at #1 on Steam. Hope this become a hit. Early numbers on Steampy gives + - 80k.

I'm betting 200k at this point, maybe more :p

Had my first crash heading into the quarry, so people may want to save before going in.

Also had a near crash randomly, fps just dropped to 0 in the middle of a field, had to alt tab out and back in for it to get back to normal.

I was worried maybe it was just nostalgia that made me want this game on PC -- wrong.

I was also a little concerned that the "wolves hunt in packs!" meme was the best. Turns out if you are not on team "human bones that move on their own!" then you lose. Maybe visit Bitterblack more.

Im using Shadowplay without issues.
 
So Steam wants to suddenly mark my game as Uninstalled even though I was playing it a few hours ago.

Edit: wow, was unaware uninstalling steam also got rid of your games too. RIP.

It shouldn't. It just won't know they are there. "Install" one of the games again to the same place as before and it should discover the folder with all your games and they'll be back to playable.
 
I'm using an ENB with Sweetfx and my Sweetfx toggle nor taking screenshots with the effect enabled works. The actual effect is applied (so both are working in conjunction).

Anyone know the fix? I'd like to be able to take screenshots.
 
Need some tips for mystic knight build, which skills should I buy? My Arisen is lv19 but I think I didn't buy many useful skills (I spent way too much for Fighter action skills/core skills)

I checked my Steam folder and everything was gone. I don't understand it as it's never happened but maybe my hard drive is dying or my shitty power supply is ruining things.
 
Can different enchants stack?

No they overwrite the previous one. Exception is the Mystic Knight's Dark Anguish, which is a separate self only enchant that adds Shadow damage on top of whatever you're doing(also adds length on your weapon and creates small shockwaves when you do stuff that stagger at melee range).

Just started playing and really digging it so far. Sad to hear that the berserk equipment was removed for real though so a mod to get it back in will be a lot more complicated than just the one line turning it back on that we all hoped for.

Really depends on what you want to do and the rest of your team. If you have a mage, don't bother with enchants. If you want to play more caster/ranged build, you want Magic Cannon+Compass Slash(and the upgrades obviously) on your sword, with the 3rd skill being one of the 2 sigils(one does damage, the other pulls stuff together for aoes) or a sword skill of your choice. For the shield you want Holy Aid and then counters for the elements you prefer. Might want an enchant if your mage is being derpy about buffing you for the cannon, or if you prefer having the mage buff the rest of the team with a certain element while you do another.

For a more melee oriented build, or less cheesy, you'd drop Cannon and get another sword skill and one of the counters for Dark Anguish(might want it even in a caster build tbh but whatever).

its unbelievably lame

It also makes it waste of time trying to grind that quest out early. Before there was an awesome reward and benefit to unlocking the merchant early because the Berserk sets were really good. Now it's another quest

Please correct me if I'm wrong but do you not allocate stats when you level up in this game? I'm like level 7 and have not found a screen to choose skills or increase stats.

You gain stats based on the class you are when you level up, it's automatic.

Basic stats are gained on level up.

At certain inns and camps you get to spend the points you're earning on skills. Not the first town's one, but most of the ones after that allow you to do so.

The troll or ogre or whatever it was in The Everfall fell to his death for me, Dark Souls style.

"I'll take it" was my reaction... just like in Dark Souls lol
 

LiQuid!

I proudly and openly admit to wishing death upon the mothers of people I don't like
This game is so good. I can't think of another action RPG that feels this good to play. This game needs to set the standard for all RPG combat. I don't think I can go back to another Elder Scrolls game mashing right trigger to kill enemies...

Oh and one last thing, how do I heal mid battle (other than pawns healing me)?

I'm hoping there are some UI mods that make it easier?

I figured that might be the case. Thanks.

Access inventory by pressing I? I think is the default. Then use curatives like the greenwarish.
