Another reason for long-press frob for special action: 2.11 already has one, multiloot. Quick-press frob to loot. Long-press frob to multiloot.

Sure, let's then just add a couple of settings to the menu: Shoulder body: frob/use Extinguish candle: frob/use For some reason we have an "Open Doors on Unlock" setting and surprisingly (for me) it is set to "Yes" by default. I don't quite understand why doors should open automatically and expose me but I guess back in the day there was a similar "Thief does it" discussion that fortunately ended up in truce.

I don’t really see why the best solution for the game should be some approximation of reality, nor do I think the old lean is more successful in this regard. You are not controlling your actual head or torso, you are controlling a video game camera. The slide lean is a more comfortable and meaningful camera position and if you are getting granular with the tap lean it actually gives you more control over how much of your body is actually exposed. With the angle tilt it can be hit or miss to gauge where you need to be in the game world relative to a corner in order to successful lean around it, especially when crouching. This leads to “lean, nudge position, lean” which I think is also not very realistic vs the real world where we have things like full body awareness and necks which allows us to rotate our “cameras” with a lot more flexibility. I find this also improved with the new lean. The result was for me, in conjunction with the new frob behavior, was a game that feels more predictable and responsive to play. This is imo the “main reason to love the change”, not that I perceived the game to be easier (I did not on my recent play through of A Bridge Too Far). In general my opinion is that making the game artificially cumbersome in pursuit of “realism” or less responsive to players inputs is a better way to make an experience more frustrating than it is a way to make it more challenging/rewarding.

I asked myself and my family: how would they lean into the doorway if they don't want to be seen? All of us prefer to only expose head. And this is impossible for a human being to do with such a low rotation angle. Moreover, my family members also suggested leaning horizontally, i.e. with full 90 degree angle. As far as I understand, the main reason to love your change is because it simply makes leaning easier for the player. But I think it is wrong: leaning should only be used to quickly glimpse what is around the corner. If you want to look properly, just go around the corner with your full body. And most definitely, it is wrong to make shooting bow easy while leaning. Of course, we are not some kind of spies/special agents, maybe someone knows better.

Another reason to ditch Winblows!

@nbohr1more to my knowledge they never said it was daft’s feature proposals they were concerned about. I don’t see a reason to make this kind of assumption given they opted to delete the post and not offer any specifics

Thanks, I can also recommend gog galaxy. The idea of the custom tags is really nice, I'll have to try this out too!

Keep in mind also that mission size, and complexity have increased dramatically since the beginning. For a lot of veteran mappers, it can take over a year to get a map made and released. The last dozen missions have for the most part been pretty massive, with new textures, sounds, scripts, models etc. We seem to be long past the point of people loading up the tools, and banging out a mission in a few weeks that's very barebones. We still do see some of those, but I noticed in the beta mapper forums and on Discord, that mappers seem to make these maps, but don't release them, and instead use the knowledge gained to make something even better. Could just be bias on my part scrolling through the forums and discord server though.

Oh! For some reason I thought visportals had to encompass the func_statics in these cases. I don't get it, thought. Why does that little detail make the difference?

YOU TAFFERS! Happy new year! Deadeye is a small/tiny assassination mission recommended for TDM newcomers and veterans alike. Briefing: Download link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JWslTAC3Ai9kkl1VCvJb14ZlVxWMmkUj/view?usp=sharing Enjoy! EDIT: I promised to someone to write something about the design of the map. This is in spoiler tags below. Possibly useful to new mappers or players interested in developer commentary.

Well, I think I found the likely reason. The movable was sunk into the floor by a single grid so I bet that is the reason. Scout's honor that I designed it right at the floor. Must have accidentally shifted it down during all the keyboard/mouse action. Thanks. Clint

i5-6600T here which is virtually identical or slightly slower, same Intel HD 530 graphics, paired with 32 GB dual-channel DDR4-2133, and a M.2 SSD. With my 720p display (which is set to 1360x768 for whatever reason) I was getting around 40 FPS in High Expectations beta testing, with dips to the 20s. But the internal TDM/Doom3 FPS counter seems very erratic. I've ended up getting a much better experience in TDM by locking it to 30 FPS. Dips are less common, the experience is playable. It's clearly faster than the old A6-3400M APU I used to use to play TDM a decade ago, which was not always bad but would sometimes crater down to 4-5 FPS. I'm pretty much always getting around 28-30 FPS when locked. I think I can upgrade the CPU itself to at least an i7-7700T which is slightly better all around (maybe i7-7700 if I have the correct 65W-capable Dell motherboard), but the prices I've seen on ebay suck. If it's significantly more than $30 shipped, I might as well stick with the 6600T and put that cash towards the next mini PC.

Well, for a gamer Windows is the best option. Security is relative in Linux. It is not that Linux cannot be seriously affected by malware, if it can, there is malware that can turn any PC into a paperweight, directly affecting the bootsector. There have been some of these since the 90's. Currently, although it may not seem like it, Windows is the most resistant OS against Viruses and Malware, for the simple reason that it is the majority OS and therefore the most attacked, while Linux is still a minority OS with more than fifty different distros and never for this reason, it has been the main target of attacks, the same goes for Macs. With a difference that for Macs there are AVs available apart from the default one, which does not exist for Linux, there is no AV that deserves this name for Linux. A dedicated RootKit or similar can give a Linux PC the good night, while even the current Windows Defender itself can kill it, apart from an efficient Sandbox system that has W10 and 11 as well, plus dozens of excellent AVs that are available for this OS. Another difference is that the saved passwords, in Linux, once logged in, are accessible in plain text, in Window there is a second Keyring that keeps them encrypted and only visible with the system password. Security is not the problem with Windows today, but privacy which it has by default with all the telemetries, if the user don't change it.

Seems to confirm: https://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=5718 does it happen in the latest dev build: https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/20824-public-access-to-development-versions/

Playing on Expert, TDM v2.11. I used the three runes to make the meteor fall onto the wooden platform and the character has announced "Good, now I can plant the explosives". I have 2 x explosives in my inventory. The meteor highlights but I cannot seem to attach the explosives to it. Am I doing something wrong? Update: it seems another player Mawerick, reported this same problem on page 2 of this thread. I searched on "explosives" before making my post, but for some reason nothing came up. Anyway, like them, I have 2 explosives and cannot drop or use either of them.

I just read@motorsep Discovered that you are able to create a brush, then select it and right click "create light". Now you have a light that ha the radius of the former brush. Just read it on discord and thought it may be of use for some people in the forums here too.

https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/tags <- directx 12 wrapper for dxvk https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/tags <- directx to vulkan wrappers D3D 9 to 11 eg. dxvk if you want to try it with horizon zero dawn you need to copy out dxcompiler.dll from Tools\ShaderCompiler\PC\1.0.2595\x64 and bink2w64.dll from Tools\bin and place them next to HorizonZeroDawn.exe. then copy over dxgi.dll from dxvk and d3d12.dll from vkd3d and place them next to it to. now fire up the game and let the shaders recompile -> profit.
