There's even an achievement for that, if a feign death badguy kills you.

Spoiler

your crosshairs are red if an enemy is alive

And true to form for this game, this achievement is glitched. I managed to get this achievement without dying. I inadvertently left someone alive after they feigned death, came back, killed the enemy and then got the achievement. Weird.

Also, I now have this issue where on startup, the game doesn't render anything. It runs fine and you can hear everything, but it's just a black screen. Alt-tabbing back in and out of the game fixes it and the game runs fine from there, but it's annoying.

To those using a controller, I made an Xpadder Profile to add rumble to shooting and melee.

Have this game cranked up to ludicrous settings and the game moves really goddamn FAST. (I have i7 2.66 ghz, 8 gigs of RAM, GTX 660 2GB). Love the Duke Nukemish one liners. The gbbing is ridiculous though. I chopped a guy in half with a handgun.

Is there a specific setting that helps boost FPS? Or is my rig just not enough for Ludicrous settings?

Seems like most people are not getting great MP performance. I did get a boost from dropping down to High and Medium presets, and Wario said that turning off Ambient Occlusion and DOF made a noticable difference.

Turn off motion blur, radial blur and DOF. Those effects both look awful and impact performance.

Thanks guys, these comments mean the world to the team. I BRING THEM FROM BASED GAF USERS.

Can you let them know that for many of us the great game is held back by significant technical issues? The multiplayer is actually not even worth touching for me at this framerate.

 

[SneakyStephan]

Hey cm guy, can you ask one of the devs why mouse smoothing is on by default, it seems to be on by default in all ue3 games no matter what dev.
I've always wondered what on earth possesses them to think it's okay to have this shit on, now is a chance to finally ask.

edit: I see there is also mouse acceleration.

I genuinly can't comprehend why any fps dev would have this shit on on the pc, did none of the people working there actually play your own game? Or play shooters in general and mention that noone wants this crap ? (and plenty of computer illiterates will not know how to get rid of it)
Not a single one? How can you make an oldschool fast paced pc shooter and not understand that these things should be disabled?

It boggles my mind, really.

Having bought a DRM free copy from GoG, I'm somewhat confused as to why the 'Mods' entry is greyed out in the menu. Does this mean I'm unable to use mods without using the CD Key? (I've only played offline so far)

It's greyed out for everyone for now. Mods should be coming very soon hopefully (after they've patched the game up)

 

[Silky]

Having played a couple of hours of the game....holy FUCK this game has a learning curve.

There's now a SUPER OFFICIAL BUG THREAD over at Steam Community where you can post bugs you've found!

I've got so many games to play, I'll wait for the patch before I'll dive in to the. Have completed 3 levels and played some multiplayer and the game is really really fun. Though, I wish it had quick saves and loads.

 

[dark10x]

For all the issues the game has it's so much damn fun to play. It made me realize how much I missed this kind of experience. In particular, the inclusion of fast paced, driving music mixed with high speed gameplay really puts a smile on my face. It's just so ridiculous and awesome.

I love mouse smoothing and won't play without it. Disabling it looks nasty to my eyes and I prefer the feel of smooth mouse to raw input.

I hate acceleration, though.

 

[Shadow Hog]

So what exactly do you have to do to get a Ludicrous Gibs, anyway? Just gib a lot of people in a row or something? I've done that here and there and not gotten it, whereas I can shoot a single guy with a rocket point-blank and get it.

I think it's the latter. Ludicrous gibs have the gibs splatter all over your screen, so yeah it would make sense that you would need to be close.

 

[Big_Al]

Haha E2L2 is going to piss sooooo many people off. Loved it.

It wasn't that bad! It had the fewest number of enemies of all of the levels up to that point. </kappa>

It's understandable, mouse smoothing and mouse acceleration are godawful.

True, but if those things can be disabled, then it's a good thing! If they can't be then it's an issue in my opinion.

 

[FYC]

Haha, I love the post-credit stuff. Game crashed during the credits last night so I revisited it, glad I stuck around.

Want to mention that I really like the boss fights. I think the third one is my favorite. Fantastic stuff. I miss boss fights in shooters these days

Yeah the achievements are glitched, people beating the game on the higher difficulties only get the Easy achievement, and I got one for playing with a mod installed... Don't think I got no mods. I believe the team's aware of it though.

 

[Shadow Hog]

I see there's a "bad ending". Let me guess: just like in RotT '95,

Spoiler

if you don't kill all of Oscuro's spawn in the final level, the Earth explodes

.

Nah,

Spoiler

There's a computer in his lair during the final fight. If you go up to it and press use, you set off a nuke and everyone in L.A dies. Caught me off guard, funny stuff.

 

[Moff]

this is probably one of the best remakes/relaunches I ever played.

mainly because the original ROTT was a pretty mediocre game and always a few leagues below its competition.

but the new is actually a pretty fun game, the whole jumping concept works much better today woth better graphisc, physics and smoother controls.

the gunplay is certainly not among the best, but good enough.

I'll keep playing

 

[TheOnlyMook]

The campaign is so ridiculously frustrating. I need to unlearn so many years of modern FPS habits. Multiplayer is still so fun though, this game will be unreal once the community starts to run servers with all sorts of crazy mods and game modes

 

[Sinatar]

Dare I ask what Inteceptors obsession with King Jung Un is about?

 

[FYC]

Hahaha, I found that too. Hilarious.

 

[mrgone]

Has anything been mentioned officially about the damage indicator? I can't tell if it's broken, there's some kind of ricochet lunacy happening, or if it's another goof on modern shooters and points in random directions when you get hit

 

[NameGenerated]

lol I beat the egads part of e2l2 like instantly on my first try when I went back in. Still hated that level though.

And MP just does not seem very good to me. 16 players feels like way too many and you basically just pray you can get to an explosive weapon before you get destroyed like 3 seconds after you spawn.

 

[KittenMaster]

Yeah. It's definitely a multiplayer mode that can't have many people. Either that or the maps should have been much larger with more spawn points.

 

[Shadow Hog]

I've had a similar issue in Far Cry 3.

I just turned up the fan speed on my graphics card to like 80%+.
That pretty much fixed it. I guess it was over heating. Worth a try if you haven't already.

That got me curious, so, after getting the graphics card crash two times in a row while staring at a bulletin board in E1L3, I downloaded MSI Afterburner and checked it out. Seems my fan speed was maxing out around 42%, and GPU temps around 65°C or so. Not sure if that's good or bad, but considering this was during a moment where I was getting four or five back-to-back crashes on the title screen... ehm, yeah.

It's a reference to this:

Fun fact: this is actually a fake by Doomworld co-founder Linguica. (You can tell by the rocket blast decals on the walls; vanilla Doom doesn't have those.)

I played this for about 10 minutes but thought it was pretty shit...

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be able to mod in models from other games and ENB it to death soon.

[Xbudz]

I figured out how to change controller bindings in the .ini files.

I set it up like Halo, lol. X needs to be reload for me. B button is now duck.
You can even slow down movement speed if you want (I didn't)

I love wandering around trying to figure out how to proceed.

That said, it's actually more difficult here than in older shooters simply due to the more detailed visuals. In something like Doom where everything was simple and flat, it was quite easy to see what may or may not be useful.

It was pretty hard to see enemies in the original RotT as well (any jokes you can make about everything being grey & brown, well, RotT was seriously grey & brown), so there's that.

The major differences I see so far, as of E2M4 from the original RotT are:

- Checkpoint system instead of manual saving
- Levels are built with modelling instead of tiling square walls (RotT came out later than DOOM, but had much more primitive map engine underneath superior sprite and effects work).
- The addition of a jump button, and therefore platforming challenges that are absent from the original
- Enemy barrel rolls work as they should (in original they just get stunlocked)
- Rocket jumping is a thing
- Drunk missile became the secondary fire for the rocket chain gun
- Blades and spikes have much larger hitboxes relative to their ancestors

I'd say the new RotT is actually harder than the original so far.

Soundtrack is god tier.

If you find the main menu theme...let me know =/

 

[Aerocrane]

The player limit in multiplayer should be smaller than 16, the maps feel too small for that many players. There is a noticeable performance hit in multiplayer (for me at least), and a lower playercount could really help with that.

can you create a game with a limit of 8?

 

[Volcynika]

Yep. When I got to the second level in the game, I was very :O about the music. So good.

 

[SparkTR]

Is there a way to keybind the side mouse buttons? I desperately need that to jump effectively.

 

[Aerocrane]

I have not attempted hosting a match myself, but I think there is an option for it.

EDIT: Checked the Giant Bomb quick look, there are no options for playercount at least when attempting to host from the game client itself.

there is a ldkdedicated server exe in the main folder of rott that allows player counts
