A very nice-looking mission, IMHO up there with the best in terms of visuals. I particularly enjoyed exploring the atmospheric indoor/semi-outdoor spaces around the port and the interior of the ship. Some touches of "decadent luxury" were also well made and added to the character of the mission. The custom assets really look magnificent, and I also liked the additional characters and outfits. In terms of gameplay, I think it hits the right mix of linearity with enough side goals, potential for exploration and secrets to keep the interest and provide some replay value. The verticality was also excellent. I would personally prefer a difficulty setting that would actively prevent me from indulging in serial blackjacking, but that's just my lack of discipline there... On a technical note, I was also hit by the progressive stuttering that was mentioned by others --not uniformly reduced fps, just alternating periods of smoothness and short freezes. Sometimes it gets better after quickloading, but it tends to come back again. I also got consistent hard crashes during and had to reload from a proper save.

Ulysses: Genesis?

Sure, please see below.

Just to confirm that I've also hit the window squeeze-in bug, it happened both in the restaurant and also

Thank you @Frost_Salamander, the lever and the lids are working as they should now!

I really liked this mission, the variety, the architecture, the verticality, the soundscapes, the nice little touches like In some ways I think it expands the TDM universe in a totally new direction, like few other missions do.

Seems to be fixed in the latest update, all the objectives check correctly now

I really liked this mission, the atmosphere was spot on and there were lots of little nice touches and things to discover. Great job!

Just went out and re-played this very nice and unique mission on the latest 2.12 dev snapshot. Unfortunately, near the end I ran into the same problem that @Joachim_Otahal reported: the wrench is not working on the mechanism, which does not light up anyway, and soon afterwards everything became unfrobbable.

Thanks @cugzkani for the new build and for a very enjoyable mission overall! The update does play more smoothly for me, though I still got a hard freeze

Not directly related to the particular mission, but the existence of large outdoor areas made me realise that my constant inability to hit moving targets with projectiles (when shooting along specific directions) was not due to bad aim but to a 2.11 bug: https://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=6292

Thanks for this mission! I really enjoyed the atmosphere and architecture, and all the nice original elements that certainly deserve a thorough exploration. Seeing my fps drop significantly in outdoor areas, even at low settings with an RTX3060, I would also hope that some further optimisation is possible. I also encountered

I have played through this mission twice now, and despite the few frustrating spots noted by others, I found it enjoyable with many interesting ideas, visuals and gameplay mechanics. I can understand why some unconventional elements like the guard change, some unpickable locks/doors or seemingly impossible-to-ghost areas can break specific kinds of play style. In my opinion however the philosophy of TDM leaves a lot of room for missions to vary and even deviate from the "canon" so not to let us get bored I also think it lies on the mission author, how much of such information they put in the mission description as a warning, e.g. geegee already has included warnings about heavy GPU demands and hints at some nonlinear aspects of gameplay. All in all an enjoyable *and* challenging mission for me. I have also experienced framerate drops in some areas, even with my new RTX 3060 with maxed-out settings. Strangely, this also happens in areas with "smoke" effects, e.g. It also appears to get worse when the lantern is on, so maybe it is an interaction of light sources with volumetric stuff or shadow maps? I encountered a few other bugs here and there, like items frobbable from inside closed drawers/containers and the stuck dungeons door, and I also managed to break the game once by The lighting could also use some tuning in a few areas. One thing I was not able to figure out is, Will certainly play v2, whenever @geegee decides to make it!
