It’s clearly not due to obsolete hardware. Not getting 60fps in New Atlantis while playing on a beast with 50-70% usage max points to optimization issues. I honestly don’t know why those people think it’s hardware
Are you playing on PC/Steam? Something weird happened to me yesterday where an exit save wouldn’t load. Upon trying an earlier save, I found none would load (game crashed to desktop when selecting). I could not figure it out.
On a whim I verified files in Steam, which triggered a 30 MB update. After verification, my exit save worked fine. I’m at a loss for why core files would change.
The important shit is getting done already. The community isn’t going to wait for a toolkit.
And the things that toolkit likely allow aren’t really what modders want to change, anyway. I don’t think anyone wants to add quests, but fixing broken things seems to be the goal of the current mods.
I feel you. The first 10-15 hours did feel like kind of a slog. I will say, I hit a point where I’m legitimately enjoying the game and things seem to have coalesced in a way they just don’t in earlier game. I’m 20 hours in though. That’s a slow starter if there ever was one.
This is a great point. Gamers as a whole should not really want every game ever to be on UE, not because it’s a bad engine, but a) it’s owned by Epic, and b) that’s fucking boring.
I’m doing one more playthrough once PL comes out. I may not even get the DLC, but the enhanced mechanics that come in the update to the base game should be interesting. Perhaps closer to what was in my mind at launch (and yes, I enjoyed the game then anyway).
