Not really new but I just started playing Crysis (the original) in 64 bit DX10 with everything set to max quality with my new rig and an AH IPS 1920 x 1080 screen and the picture quality is absolutely amazing even if the AI is rather rubbish
To add the fps seems to sit above 75fps all the time
-
I see that Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus is now out but I won't be touching it at that price - give it a year or so then perhaps
Or then again perhaps not as it doesn't really appeal
-
If you want a challenge - try no powers mode - that makes you think and is a really thiefy challenge to do it and ghost at the same time
-
I already have two of them and so the Seasons Pass isn't worth it
In any case the first two - Desperate Measures and System Rift are woefully short and not worth buying (I got them as a Pre Order Bonus)
-
unfortunately the DLC A Criminal Past isn't
-
Interesting I am still on the 32bit version
-
Yes and no problems with Win 10 and Win 7
-
A generic question - why don't the automatic quality setting work properly with modern CPU and GPU
I ask because Death of the Outsider just used Medium on Auto yet on Ultra it never drops below 60fps
-
That point is a bit of a nuisance but there are two stealth options
The one I did first was to use semblance to sneak to the right side behind the barriers avoiding the hounds but an option would probably be to use displace marker and then jump up to the balcony above then blink onto the bank front area when the guard is at the end by the hound
The second one - used first in Old Game Plus where most of the powers aren't available
was to jump onto the longer balcony on the left hand side then move to the end crouched and then arm with the fire arrow which droops at the end. Once the guard has moved away from the hound jump onto the balcony rail and then stand up - you still won't be seen - then fire the arrow at a point above the hound so that it misses the rails in between and drops onto it. You are then clear to move to the small balcony and blink onto the bank front area from where you can hide the hound and then knock out the guard when he returns and you are clear
Of course there is always the nuclear option with multiple spring razor traps at the entrance to the bank forecourt
-
Same locations just different powers so the interest was maintained for me
-
You get Domino in Original Game Plus after completing the mission and it replaces her current powers with fully upgraded versions of Dark Vision, Blink, and Domino which makes the method of approach somewhat different
-
To finalise
Completed Death of the Outsider with all achievements completed including Game Plus which was interesting using Domino to get past bunches of enemies
-
Death of the Outsider
I needed to watch a video playthrough of getting into Shan Yun's House because I found the note about the secret knock before I should have and the marker to the door wasn't there when I tried to find it - more beta testing needed
I don't know if it gets any more difficult but the safe opening problem was quite easy providing you read the various notes
All I need now is to complete the two last contracts before I leave the area as I am going for all Contracts including the ones from the Black Market Shop

I can't speak for the monitor I linked to but my monitor https://www.amazon.co.uk/iiyama-XUB2790HS-B1-ProLite-Adjustable-Monitor/dp/B00HY77VPO/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1505819804&sr=1-1&keywords=iiyama+XUB2790HS doesn't have a light bleed problem and I assume it is a similar screen - just bigger
I have played most of the Dark Mod Games on it as well as Thief 4
-
thought so - one for the ghost playthrough
-
I assume you paid to get into the club in the first part as I sneaked in and although there were no alerts I still massively failed
-
This 25" monitor is excellent and is heavily discounted to be cheaper than the 24" model - it has an IPS screen which is a snip for just under £150 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00Z1OIMCS/ref=pe_3187911_189395841_TE_dp_1
Just to add - I bought this for my better half as part of the major computer rebuild (read that as start from scratch) as she needed excellent colour/contrast reproducibility for her art work
I see that you are using Amazon de so this is the link https://www.amazon.de/iiyama-XU2590HS-B1-Zoll-LED-Monitor-schwarz/dp/B00Z1OIMCS/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1505746502&sr=1-1&keywords=XU2590HS-B1

Now playing Dishonored Death of the Outsider on the hardest setting and it is interesting but I haven't worked out how to ghost the first episode (but then again I didn't try)
-
me - getting free TV license this year
-
regarding water arrows - the quantity is difficulty dependent and on the hardest setting it seemed to be about the minimum to get the loot near the front door (assuming that it didn't change from the last version I beta tested)
note the mission is unplayable for me - as are virtually all the missions - as at present I am stuck with an i3 laptop with integral graphics
-
As has been mentioned earlier the one real drawback with Thief 4 is the amount of loot hunting you need to do specially on the Master level as things cost a lot more in the shops
Having played through on Thief difficulty then Master I doubt that I will play it again for some considerable time
As a comparison Dishonored 2 has many game play options including "no powers" which introduces another level of difficulty
-
When beta testing I was getting just over 50fps with a 1060 GPU and an i5 4690K CPU 8GB ram with a resolution of 1920 x 1080

absolutely - and just what I wanted
thanks very much

Indeed and it just shows the leap it made at the time
Of course to get the full effects at that time you needed two top flight and very expensive graphics cards in SLI configuration now a single mid range card does it (GTX 1060)
