From memory, the xbox and ps4 are both using HD7xxx series gpu's, so neither of the next gen consoles will have dx12 either, unless they release a refresh of the consoles with the newer AMD hardware. The AMD page for the 7800 series says direct x 11.2

To punish you for wanting to remove it, I guess.

The kind of map I would like to see would be the kind that is drawn in by the character as a player conducted action, no automatic map generation. Would also let the map have things like pens and pencils as consumable items that can take up the spawn points in houses currently being occupied by redundant basic wool hats (toque's are so much better) or the 20th pair of basic gloves. I don't think there's an issue with too many spawn points in the maps (mostly Coastal Highway is quite spawn point dense) so much as there could be more things to spread across the spawn points, reducing the amount of spare items being held in an inventory. I've got a closet (40kg) full of spare clothing, that I will likely never use unless somehow, all the wildlife gets removed from the area... those spawn points could have been so many other things.

The map has been on the list of things to do for a long time, in the earlier builds there was a map button on the interface when you pressed Tab that did nothing, there was also a button to begin constructing a make shift shelter that was removed. Agreed with Sotha that Coastal Highway is an absolute loot piñata, I had some spare stuff coming out of Mystery Lake, perhaps 60kg of loot and 30kg of wolf meat, I've since tripled the amount of non-meat loot I have. I'm hoping Desolation Point is relatively sparse, so that I have a chance to use up some of these resources, as taking them all with me is becoming less and less viable. It would certainly help to lower the number of pairs of boots that spawn, I think, between the 3 types of boots, I have more than 10 pairs, and will probably end up scrapping all but 1 of them for leather, and repairing the final pair of boots to full as a backup pair incase a run of bad luck ruins my deerskin boots. I've also been finding a lot of food that has ended up being stockpiled, as the wolf population has been keeping me well fed for a while now. Perhaps the situation isn't so on hard, but so far medium has been a bit too kind to me. I am debating restarting on hard as well. Perhaps seperating "repair skill" into cloth, leather, wood and metal would help, it is currently a little too easy to level up repair skill with clothing, which directly translates into not wasting material on botched metal and wood repair jobs (like the rifle).

I haven't really spent a lot of time in Pleasant Valley, typically I start in Mystery Lake, I know where all the shelters are so there is typically somewhere nearby to shelter if a blizzard comes, or if a wolf is after you and you don't think you can survive it. I really hope the map feature is implemented soon, even if it's just a piece of paper with pencil/crayon drawings on it. Last time I really played it, and got to Pleasant Valley, I spent most of the time either semi lost in the middle, or wandering the far outskirts of the map, that place seems huge.

I've still got most of the interior of Coastal Highway to explore, there are a few isolated huts and shacks I'm going to go looking for. Have you been collecting and drying gut/deer hide? Crafting the pants or boots would give you a large boost in protection from the weather. Or rabbit skins for the mittens, those are good too. I'm working on getting the bear skin bedroll crafted, but the bear I shot... well, it's probably pretty mad at me right now. Should probably go track it down. Maybe find the wolf with the knife wounds too.

Closing in on 100 days survived with a house in Coastal Highway fully stocked with all manner of things, I even found a hacksaw! Think I probably have 200kg of items now, so it seems like now might be the time to establish an outpost, and leave a full kit + spares in it, so the move to Pleasant Valley goes a lot more smoothly. Depending on where the access points for the new area are, it might actually pay to leave most of my kit stashed in Coastal Highway, and bring anything spare back from Pleasant Valley to it.

That's true, but at the same time, you can't strafe guards with a helicopter gunship in Thief, so it's a fine balancing act

If you drag them up to where the tabs go, they should open. Worked for me on firefox.

Loving those clouds. Reminds me, need to check if lost alpha has any updates

From memory in DR, under inheritable properties on an AI, there are lists of things like animations they can perform, and the voice set etc. Likely, he was configured to only really have 1-2 things to say from the 'builder talking to highe ranked builder' vocal set.

I have to disagree there. Having both levels in the same campaign means that anything that should carry over does, and it ensures the missions are played in the right order/people don't download part 2 first and have no idea what they're doing because they aren't interested in part 1 or just picked a mission at random.

But but frame rate doesn't matter At least, according to Microsoft.

What part of it being a campaign doesn't make sense, just out of curiousity?

The same way you could skip Fallout New Vegas I guess...

Don't own this myself, videos like this put me off. Apparently hovercrafts are ancient technology.

I'm a little leery of the takedowns I saw in one of the early videos. Everything looked great until then.

Linux is free, the upgrade to Windows 10 is still free for another 9 or so months. What you want to hear is "We will resume support for a dead operating system". Should Sony start supporting the Playstation 2 again?

Where have we seen that behaviour pattern before...

I'm having the same problem myself, I have 40-50kg or so of wolf and deer meat, if I don't cook and eat a bunch of it pretty soon its going to expire, but I typically don't eat very often (every 2-3 ingame days) so something must be done. I'm trying to store it in a locker in a house atm, hopefully that slows the condition degradation enough to let me eat most of it.

It seems to be at least somewhat distance based, once a wolf decides to attack you it will run up near to you and start jogging along behind you. If you're not encumbered, it is possible to move fast enough that you can eventually lose it over hills or by making it into cover. However if you're moving too slowly, or the wolf gets too close, it will bark and then charge you down. That's just a hunch though, a couple of wolves have charged me very early after beginning pursuit, and some I've just turned around and walked away from.

I haven't found any cars yet (I know where some are, but haven't reached them) so that probably won't affect me. Food goes from white (100-50%) to orange (49-10%) to red (9-expired). I've witnessed cooking adding 50%, so a red item will be just inside the white band for food condition if cooked and eaten straight away. I wonder when we'll be able to use the car batteries for things.

Well basically, if you want it done, you'll have to do it yourself, the team doesn't have the manpower or time to support XP any longer, not even the maker of the OS supports it anymore.

Have you found a hacksaw yet? I want to try out the new basic metalsmithing stuff but haven't been able to turn pans into metal yet. As far as I can tell cooking meat restores quite a lot of condition to it, so even if your meat is getting down to orange/red, cooking it should make it safely edible. The pork and beans I ate going through the new and expanded Ravine, however..

If you're posting in this thread, I think you already know what the answer is.
