I just realised I own Greedfall. And have it installed. So I am trying that. First impression: yup, definitely a Spiders game.

Steigan is anti establishment media / alternativemedia, its editor-in-chief Pål Steigan is ex leader of Norway's communist party, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workers'_Communist_Party_(Norway) Magazine is owned by company named Mot Dag AS, which is owned by Pål Steigan. Company is registered as political actor that does not seek profit. It mostly writes articles how government, rich people, globalism, Nato, EU, UN etc. are bad/evil. They also have been against supporting Ukraine from start.

When given the choice on siding with what faction to take the archive with i initially did the quests for AC after finishing the last quest "Mysteries of the Mental Modulators" you're give an opportunity to speak to Auntie Cleo not wanting to making a big commitment (as I wanted to negotiate peace between the two factions) i exited dialog and then started the order factions quests after finishing them and speaking to Ruth about having an alliance it say to speak to Auntie but my only option is to speak to the 2 VPs about only siding with Auntie

To break it down, with the previous two hotfixes I had no problem with the game--ray tracing and HDR both worked fine together, and I was enjoying the game. With the 1.0.5.0 patch--well, here are the problems I've run into. First, here's my hardware: Windows11 26200.7171 Adrenalins 25.10.2 XFX 9070 XT SWIFT tri-fan GPU MSI x870 Tomahawk Wi-Fi, 8-layer, 2 oz copper plane Gigabyte 850 Gold PSU AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3D GSkill 2x16GB @ 6400MT/s Boot: Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB NVMe (PCIe4x4) Samsung 980 EVO NVMe 500GB (PCIe 4x4) Kingston SNV3S2000G 2TB (PCIe4x4)--drive where TOW 2 is installed Samsung 960 EVO 250GB (PCIe3x2) 8TB Toshiba x300 HDD ST4000DM004 S3 4TB Sound BlasterX G6 USB Philips 43" Momentum HDR-1000 certified monitor Using Steam I have validated the files in the install, and then when that didn't work, I uninstalled the game and then reinstalled it, but the problem remains. When I turn hardware ray tracing on, the game displays a kaleidoscope of colors throughout the screen, making the game unplayable because the scenes are barely legible. But when I turn raytracing off (even with HDR ON) the screen reverts to normal + HDR. Turning ray tracing ON but turning Ray-traced shadows OFF does not improve the situation, and when I turn HDR off but turn ray tracing on, the kaleidoscope artifacts remain. And then the AMD driver crashes with a timeout. Again, this did not happen until after the 1.0.5.0 patch was applied. I wish there was a convenient way to roll back the Steam patch (like GOG provides), but I don't see one. Game looks really good when I can play it, but something in the patch has caused a game-stopping problem! It seems like the bug is in the additional ray-tracing code changes in the patch, because it added a "ray traced shadows" toggle that was not there when I ran the pre-1.0.5.0 patch. Suggestions welcome...;) EDIT: Wanted to add that running the game from thge "Arkansas" exe or the Normal exe made no difference. Final Edit (I hope): I have no idea what happened, but I watched as the shaders compiled immediately after the patch--and that's when the trouble started. Well, I reinstalled the GPU drivers (same as listed above), and I watched the game recompile the shaders (~60-90 seconds), and then went into the program--fully expecting to see the same problems with raytracing I saw before--but what-do-you-know--it's WORKING FINE NOW...;) Not sure what it was, but a reinstall of the drivers fixed the problem. I hope it stays this way...;) Time to get back into the game!

Not bought it, but looking at that Sacred 2 Remaster that just released... edit: read the one review that says it is terrible...

Installed the Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC version over my existing install from 2019 so I could keep all the programs/games. Color me surprised it worked and there are no nasty issues as of yet. Whenever I get around to buying a m2 drive I will probably run a fresh install. Thanks @Bartimaeus

Expansion of Dr.Tully's Research: Frankenbugs Lab Idea - Ominent dedicated a lab in the park to furthering Dr.Tully's research into grafting bug parts together using Raw Science. Story: Ominent had been shipping bug parts to the lab to graft on bugs found in the park. The two lead researchers over the facility are constantly arguing over the best course of action for this technology. Dr.Lavenza wants to combine the strongest parts of bugs into an Apex Predator frankenbug. While Dr.Walton is obsessed with taking the cutest aspects of bugs and combining them into the most adorable companion frankenbug EVER! (After all, what is the point of eventually embiggening these bugs if we can't cuddle them?) The project is constantly going awry due to the differences in opinion on how to use this technology. World Effect: As the teens work through the lab, they will be faced with a choice of which experiment to let loose in the park. If the teens open the cage containing Dr.Lavenza's Frankenbug, an Apex bug will start roaming the park. I am thinking a Reduviidae (The Assassin Bug) mixed with wolf spider and scorpion parts. The Apex frankenbug will set up "camps" for periods of time in random locations throughout the park, possibly moving every 3ish in-game days. The player can go to this camp and fight the Apex bug to get parts of that bug for special armor or weapons, and discover that the worst has happened... It laid eggs! If the teens decide to release the cage containing Dr.Lavenza's frankenbug, then a new adorable bug, possibly a jumping spider mixed with rose maple moth parts, will now stalker the teens and randomly pop out while they are adventuring. The bug will require pets, and in exchange will provide items to the players such as candy or bandages. Options to create a delicious meal to lure our selected bug back to its cage would be nice. That way, the player can decide to change which bug is free in the park. Gameplay Additions: Class Idea: BugChemist Mutation - A mutation that would put a jar in slot 8 of the player's inventory. As the player loots bug parts, they will be added to the jar. After 3 - 5 parts are added, the player can throw the concoction to apply different damage types or effects depending on the types of looted bugs. Additionally if the player is wearing Alchemist-themed gear (Mantis Armor?) then the jar instead creates a drinkable buff potion that will apply different effects based on the type of bugs looted. - Mount Ideas: FuzzyPoly - A roly-poly that had its underbelly combined with fuzzy parts from bees, moths, or maybe gnats. The player can climb onto the belly of the bug, it will then curl into a ball and roll across the map. While heading in a straight line, the bug will continually increase speed, but if the player turns, that speed will be greatly reduced. -Decoration Ideas: Chemistry Set - Primitives looking glasses and beakers that could have a bug part deposited into them to make different colored liquids in jar to decorate with. Some could glow, some could have patterns in them. Sewing Machine - A sewing machine that could allow for altering the color or maybe minor tweaks in armors for the players. Additional could be use as an interactable item to open up the skins menu, or for customizing the saddles for mounts. Cauldron - A giant cauldron that could be kitchen themed decoration item where the player can deposit bug parts to make different colored soups.

So what are those of us blocked from progressing in the game because of this bug supposed to do? My closest save game is from over 6 levels before. I cannot get out of the room where you pick up the rift device after eliminating the enemies and jumping up the platforms to the second floor. I get the prompt "elevator currently in service". Since the patches are not helping with our savegames, are we just supposed to give up and uninstall, after buying the game?

I'm having the same issue, and unfortunately it means I don't have an alliance for the final mission. This needs fixed. Hopefully they will see this and do something about it soon. I'm putting off finishing the game because of it.

When you have CTD, Right click start button in Windows -> Event Viewer Choose on left side either : Custom Views -> Administrative Events Windows Logs -> Application / System Look for date and time of crash and it should show a red exclamation mark symbol with Error with Source : Application Error If you found it click on it and look below for "Faulting module name" (this is often the cause of the crash) and "Exception code" (this is more like a general code and sometimes vague but you can search online to see what it could mean)

Usually these type of glitches occur when you have your GPU overclocked, overvolted or undervolted, or in worst case your GPU hardware is failing in some way. - Did you ever try Furmark stability or stress test for 10 ~ 30 minutes and do you see the same artifacts there? - Did you check your Nvidia App -> System -> Performance tab -> is it overclocked there or are the performance limits changed? - Try classic Nvidia Control Panel -> Help -> Debug Mode (this will change your card to stock speeds etc for testing) - Do you use any other Video Recording / OSD Monitoring / OSD Overlay / 3rd party Overclocking apps running in the background while you are gaming? Video Recording : OBS Studio etc Overlay : Discord overlay, Game Clients Overlays etc OC or Monitoring Software : MSI Afterburner, ASUS GPU Tweak, Presentmon, EVGA Precision X1, Rivatuner (older), NVIDIA Profile Inspector, AMD Software: Adrenaline Edition etc

Dunno about that. As a comparison going by the name you'd expect The Moscow Times to be, well, pro Russian instead of pro western (Dutch). It isn't, as it has always been aimed at westerners who couldn't be bothered to read Russian and wanted positive reinforcement of their existing views. It infamously didn't even have a Russian language edition for 28 years. I don't know much of anything about Steigan, but a quick web search suggests they've always had some of those sorts of articles, at least. eg, from 2014.

It's not very final fantasy, it's mostly about dodging.

I am stuck on the same issue with my second playthrough. On PS5 so the bug is not Xbox-specific.

Uploading the quest journal as it reads on mine. The 9/5 also seems out of place.

After today's update, I am still unable to complete this quest. Is there a workaround? I don't want to leave the Paradise Island until I finish this which is the last quest here I believe - a bit of a completionism skill on my part

after the last update i the game no longer lets me collect the zeranium gas in the vial to get the shield i tried a old save reset the game started a new game and it no longer gives the x button option on Xbox to collect the gas it worked great before that> I am playing on Xbox series X had no issues with the game till today any thoughts on fixing it?

Similar issue here. After talking to Ruth "An Equitable Arrangement" is active and I need to go talk to Auntie. Speaking to Gertie gives me "Remember what we discussed and act ... equitably". The marker sends me to talk to Ursula Ormsby. The only options I get are "Damn all consequences! I'll take the Archive for you". Patch 1.0.5.0 did not fix it.

Coming to a sci-fi monster movie soon...

It is confusing for me too, but figured I would at least carry on GD's tradition

Same here. I had the bug already last Friday, cleared Preator and almost everything else in the meantime while waiting for a patch. Running Ver 1.0.5.0 right now but he still does not show up, playing on PC Xbox Game Pass.

same issue for me. not fixed after patch

I understand that before the patch, the two were doing more damage than they were supposed to. But now, with a light weapon equipped, I do more damage in combat when I use a helmet other than the Menacing Mask. I'm using the Murder's Best Friend, with the Vital Striker and Sleight of Hand perk at 17 Sneak. My stealth multiplier on the weapon is +1,025%. My melee is at 15, telling me that the knife has a damage of 64. The traditonal sneak attack is working perfectly fine, doing around 700 damage on the first kill. But during combat, a swing will rarely if ever do more than 200 damage. Shouldn't a combined 60% of my sneak attack bonus be more in the 300-400 range? It's quite frustrating that the character I put 50 hours into can now barely kill enemies in combat at level 24 on Normal difficulty.

This still appears broken after the latest patch. I guess I might just be screwed on this one and need to restart and just be more careful I guess.
