Can it beat DOS2's 93k peak?

Extremely unlikely, if you ask me, but 70k is still one hell of a peak for this game.

Or as a friend of mine put it:

"Nazi shitlords win again."

 

[Zer0wing]

Source? Wouldn't be surprised, but disappointed.

Wish I still hard the link with exact words. But numerous "pls refund"/"me refund" steam threads are speaking for themselves.

 

[Vexxt]

Regardless, most gaming outlets will ignore the success of this game, because "narrative".

New Colossus was utter shite, yet the gaming media couldn't help but cram it down everyone's throats hailing it as the second coming of jesus.

I'm probably retarded but where the fuck do I find some sort of update history. A patch downloaded today and I wanna see some patch notes. If I click on the "View update history" item on the Steam store page there's nothing there in the update section. No update info on the Steam or Warhorse forums either.

Btw a new peak record now - 70 630.

PSA: the correct amounts of VRAM for the various texture qualities are thus:

Low: 1 GB
Medium: 1.5 GB
High: 2 GB
Very High: 3 GB
Ultra: 6 GB

If your GPU has less VRAM that your texture setting, your visual experience is going to be miserable FWIW. Also, anisotropic filtering is *stupidly* tied to your texture level, and only at Very High and Ultra settings do you get 16x AF. At high it is a laughable 4x. This is a horrible choice, as it makes distant textures look fuzzy, regardless of your LOD and draw distance settings. AF also isn't a resource hog like AA, so this is doubly confusing why Warhorse coupled the settings.

Anyway, if you can't play on Very High/Ultra texture settings, you can still invoke 8x or 16x AF using the console, and permanently set it by placing a user.cfg file in the root KCD directory with the correct commands.

How about anti-alias? There is no setting for it. What is the default anti-alias?

Why is it when I found a bastard looting a corpse on the road I have the option to accuse him of killing the victim but then out of nowhere he counter accuses me and if I fail the the speach skill check, he runs faster than Usain Bolt on a good day ready to rat on me to da police, what the fuck kind of logic is that?

 

[Alienman]

Oops. Tried to shoot a rabbit from my horse. No permanent damage though.

Perhaps you should not accuse people if you're not convincing enough?

 

[Elhoim]

However, Steam takes a flat 20% fee if a copy is sold on the platform.

30%, plus VAT and such, so it's closer to 37,5% if you want to make a guess.

 

[norolim]

Ok, so the information just got officially released (in Czech). Steam sales are currently near 300k

Congrats. You can make it 300001. I'm definitely buying it, but I still didn't decide whether I want a boxed version or a DRM-free one on GOG. I have 2 weeks to think it over.

 

[Blaine]

I don't laugh at people who made an understandable mistake I've made countless times. Also one can get even more easily confused in English since 1400s is also a way to describe the same time period.
But we have set up a new department which would seek typos and other minor mistakes, misconceptions and misunderstandings in KCD reviews and archive them all. That's what we pay most attention to now. We're still hiring.

The diplomatic approach, eh?

I respect that. It doesn't help me shitpost, but you have a game to represent, after all.

look at that thread, I discuss how to toggle AA off and on.

 

[Smejki]

Good to know. I suppose the Talmberg "Baths" area is "invisible" then, because some old lady kept following me and bitching. But then... even if I grab just a nettle from the ground it's still "a crime"? If so it really needs some better feedback. Image you wonder in an invisible crime area and noone happens to be around to let you know. You grab something from the ground or table and at THAT moment someone sees you and boom, you're busted. And jail is a relatively harsh punishment for such an easy-to-make mistake.

Also about the noise - you go inside a house, twiddle the lockpick, it makes a sound. You wait a while, nothing happens. So you loot the crate, go outside, save, walk around the town a few seconds and suddenly BOOM - a guard is on you because he heard it nearby and it took him some time to get to you. I'd prefer an instant feedback whether or not I've been heard or spotted. Sure it'd be gamey but....it's a game.

Certain areas switch between none/invisible trespass modes depending on hour of day. Some maybe even between none/blue (shops, I guess)
What was your time of day in the baths?

Picking herbs should not count as a crime. We will check that.

That guard sounds like the regular frisks I mentioned. Did you have the crime icon (money sack on red ackground) to left of the compass? If not, it was a frisk.
How crimes work:
- a perceptible volume with TTL is created at the crimescene (and angriness is raised, not sure if instantly)
- some crimes produce sound
- NPC sees the volume/hears the sounds. Either goes to check the source or starts running towards nearest guard to report. Then the guard goes to check the source.
- if player is detected at the time of crime volume creation or very shortly after he is associated with it
- the information about the crime is spread naturally


What it means
- killing a witness can prevent you being associated with a crime
- NPC must have more or less direct view of you around the crime time at the crime scene to associate it with you
- you should flee from crime scenes
- no telepathic knowledge

Update regarding freezing issues every few secs: This has indeed stopped after I cleared the prologue, just like the guys on the steam forums said.
Interesting. Can play fine now. FPS varies of course, but oh well.

Hmm, might be related to NPC headcount. Do you have similar issues in other bigger cities?

Similar here. I decided to close my eyes and play a bit further and am now back in the starting village to do SPOILER business with my parents.
And the framerate is at least stable on low settings now, at 30-60fps and was so while I was in the Talberg village, too. Playable, so I'll continue - likely until the next city where 4+ people on screen at the same time will make the FPS drop like crazy again.

What's your CPU?
Sounds like your unit

the simulation.

Okay so understanding Hungarian just saved me from falling into a trap on a sidequest I randomly stumbled upon although you probably could have guessed it was a trap anyway.

Also I just need to point out that the main quest is one hell of a ride, might be one of the best ones in a open world RPG.

Spoiler

I mean, after previously mentioning how fun going hunting with a stuck up nobleboy was, you start going on a Ultima7-esque murder mystery and that makes me get drunk with a goddamn priest and we start beating people up and fucking bitches and ranting in church, what a ride!

Generally, I'm always doing something varied and different so far, be it main quest or side quest.

I think those events are bugged, I pass the check and the dialogue goes back to the same tree where you can choose speech/royalty/strength.

Isn't that metagame? You cheater.

men, pick up all the plants.
5min of picking up nettles made me the richest guy in the village

5 mins? More like 2 years. Seriously all that "immershun" animations are cancer. As if the game isn't clunky enough.

I love the "Leg Day" perk. I'm LARPing Henri as a Medieval Gay Fitness Twitter Personality.

Backpedaling + shooting the bow. This should not be allowed. Yes or no?

Well you have two options, charge sword in hand try to parry, dodge , and attack, pray for combos, most of the time it fails the enemy parry it, really hard combat and if theres numerous enemies its absurdly hard and you are fucked, or one shot guys at pointblank and backpedal . Glad its possible thats the only way to survive.

Smejki I have a question for you. Does Charisma, Intimidate ect. level up on failed attempts or only on successful attempts?

 

[Alienman]

Just a small tip.

When you alt tab (to check Codex for an example) the game reverts to "borderless" if you have it on fullscreen. And it seems it activates vsync also, if you have it disabled in the user.cfg thingy. Just noticed it. The game runs 50% better for me on fullscreen and the vsync disabled.
