Indeed, this tweaking is not done just for the lulz. Yes, in lulz we trust of course. But it also helps people run the game on potato computers.

Sorry, but it seems to work for me. I use the dark theme of the forum and I'm on Mozilla Firefox. What browser do you use?

Though not exactly a remaster, I was struck how just one concept of music journalism from 2005 became the most clever Rap battle series I ever saw. Still not surpassed even by the Honest Government satire from The Juice Media. The original concept: And the epic rap videos themselves: Fun fact, YouTube/Google algorithms never led me to these videos despite me watching every Epic Rap Battle video religiously.

+1

It's not a problem if the solution is easily found here on the forums or on the wiki. A compiled tweaking/troubleshooting guide for old computers. We need to digitally immortalize things that worked. For this: Thank you! Also this: This is also useful for the purpose of optimizing to the depths of the Mariana Trenches.

The issue I think is that the current footstep sounds in TDM are insufficiently beefy compared to the Thief games. Not so much the loudness. Compare the tile sounds from Thief: Deadly Shadows, which were quite silent in some respects. But it was all good.

It popularized and mainstreamed FPS multiplayer. Quake Champions had loot boxes. It's only the logical continuation. Not so fun when some of my friends turned into junkies for another shot of dopamine.

Just for the record, there's also 2 "Assassin's Creed Discovery Tour Egpt" another to Greece and a different game called "Apex" - all for free on Uplay and Origin respectively.

Discussable. Carcmack was too obsessed with the tech. You can argue that if they didn't make Quake 3 a multiplayer game, we wouldn't have an increasing focus on multiplayer games today. Maybe no loot box gambling and battle royale games today. Who knows? Where have we sinned to sink into this mediocrity? Certainly there would have been no Counter Strike, because that was a Half Life mod, which ran on the Gold Source engine, that was written based on Quake 3's code. Beyond that there was never a gothic Quake game since the original one. They really knew how to butcher the series. And wat? No Trent Reznor/Nine Inch Nails in Doom 3? Goes to show where their priorities were. Eye candy graphics is ok if only games actually have something else besides that.

CookieSpy is back!

Yes, yes there is in fact:

Briarwood Cathedral.

Hello world. It's temporarily, free I think: https://store.steampowered.com/app/201270/Total_War_SHOGUN_2/

Partially yes, but for the most part the fact that Daniel has a permanent fear of darkness causes great frustration when the game is about stealth. Might as well ignore lighting anything if it comes to that. AFAIK the Penumbra games also had a subtle light when in darkness without resorting to any sanity meter gimmicks. The point is not to go to the point to strain people's eyes needlessly. There are good horror maps in The Dark Mod. But if it's good horror it can remain so without pitch black darkness and jump scares. After all, that's why Thief's horror stages with The Haunted Cathedral and Shalebridge Cradle are so good. Same for System Shock 2, Silent Hill 2.

Hi, I'm sorry that The Dark Mod doesn't work for you. Try this setting: "set r_useFenceSync to 0" And just in case, try all of this:

Totally agreed with everyone. Lack of a proper tutorial is the worst thing to happen to newcomers. Imagine if this is the first time ever that you play a video game. Of course, "The Dark Mod" already made a leap forward when a tutorial exists in the first place. There are numerous open-source/indie games that have no tutorial whatsoever. "This War of Mine", "Don't Starve" definitely suffered from that. Fallout 2's temple of trials was a horrible tutorial, despite the game getting better after that. In this context, German city builder, management, strategy games are so unpopular IMHO. "Cultures", "Anno", "The Guild", "Patrician" and others. They are timeless. But they are overlooked because there's way too much to learn, the path finding requires so much micromanagement. Their inherent value is endless. Or those Swedish grand strategies such as "Europa Universalis", "Crusader Kings", "Victoria", "Hearts of Iron". At least the old ones - overwhelming for many people. It's like starting with rocket science. To recapitulate. The worst thing a game tutorial can do is: 1. A tutorial that utterly fails to teach you how to play the game, sending you screaming for the nearest Wikia or guide book. 2. A very lengthy, completely unnecessary tutorial that you cannot skip every time you start a new game. I have faith "The Dark Mod" suffers from none of these. Notwithstanding there are many things to improve, even in the existing tutorial. For instance, laconic voice-overs such as in the original Thief games would be welcome. Deus Ex games had decent tutorials, when the player wasn't loaded with reading right away. But neither should the training mission kick you out when you're done. For its scale, maybe even "Papers, Please" had a good tutorial because it introduced each gadget gradually, day by day. Nothing was too sudden. Ideally the tutorial must be closer to something like Portal where it was fused seamlessly into the overall narrative of the introductory campaign. We can't just speculate that everybody who find "The Dark Mod" knows how to play it. Neither that they know the premise.
