These Smaa settings are not correct, your not actualy getting smaa with those values, you have 0.5 and it should be at least 0.05 to take effect at all.
Btw i updated from the bat torrent, and i was using the gog version, now my saves arent recognized, anyone knows where is the new location?
Thanks

the update works on gog, you simply have to rename nosteam.exe to soma.exe, you don't need to give up on your saves.

Sorry Yurina for the late reply, had people for dinner and they wouldn't leave 
3E74 has already upped everything that you need since it's from the same preset, should work just fine
@3E74: yup! I wanted to try that too, but then decided that using some DSR was the better choice and went for it (only 2x) instead. Will experiment more later

DSR is wonderful indeed for this game. i'm doing 3x, mostly 60 fps, but some scenes it does dip to 50.
the game seems to have no culling/or bad culling tech in place. everything offscreen is rendered it seems.

I wasted 40 minutes in a single room because I couldn't see how to proceed.. I caved in and searched for walkthrough videos.. There was a fucking cable I couldn't see that needed to be connected! OMG 
This gave me the opportunity to see how far into the game I am. Going by that video I have completed around half of it.
The game is at its best when you are "interactively" following the story. Meaning exploring, making choices, solving puzzles.
The enemy encounters.. I am not fond of them. They are not like the Xeno in AI, a constant threat you have to have in mind in every new chapter. In Soma they are local to a (small) area and once you move from there the threat is gone.. They just break the flow of the story going. And I miss how the Xeno behaved, eg it would get bored and leave the room via the ceiling and I would be brave again and move freely butttt it could be back at any point and I would try to move quickly to a locker. Here it is more or less just be quiet and don't get close.
Lastly the underwater BioShock 2 like sequences are a bit boring.
Oh and.. I stil think the game is wonderful.

Thanks!
What a great game...a must play for any sci fi love, its got a few vibes of the best of dead space, half life (train traveling and other stuff) visualy its a mix of prey(the machinary) with doom and alien isolation, its really good. the story is a different version of what we know (will not say what it is ofc) but theres a little twist to it, and the way the premise works is great, havent finished yet, so we will see how this pans out, but im enjoying this more than ethan carter atm.
8/10

SSD does miracles for this game. It was basically unplayable on my HDD, copied to SSD and stuttering disappears.
Don't know why it is coded like this, but I noticed the game engine doesn't use containers, but rather it's made of 43k+ separate files. Which is what causes the stuttering I think, as using file system handles to load single files this way generates way more overhead than using indexed containers. Weird decision, using containers has been standard practice for years now...

Maybe the decision was modding (easiness) related.

Does the patch SOMA.Update.v20150923-BAT give problems. I heard it will crash the game at some point. Is it better to play the game without that patch?

Great atmosphere, interesting story, shitty enemy encounters.
It's not tense, it's not hard, it's tedious.

Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty

The patched files were taken back by the developers so perhaps it would be best to remove it. I haven't though and haven't had any crash either

I just finished this,
For me personally it's one of the best adventure type games i've played in a long time. It was just dripping atmosphere in both sound and environment. The story wasn't throw away like I was expecting.
The monsters or whatever they are where the only thing I thought was a bit weak. I could of quite easily have played through the whole game without them and still enjoyed it. It's definitely going to be a hard game to recommend though, although I thought it was ace I can see the gameplay style and story being very subjective.

Question about the ARK simulation section of the game:
 Spoiler: |
What happens if you load a real scan into the simulation instead of the dummy? I went with the dummy first and couldn't do another. |

You can't. The characters say "better not.." or something like that.

Modified files:
282140.rar
http://www70.zippyshare.com/v/qM6oB31p/file.html
(Seems to include all the files altered by the "leaked" patch, along with some new ones, anyways it should fully replace the previous patch and those files.)

Concept art, old music, old screenshots, 2013 vertical slice video, etc. I am not looking too closely until I finish the game.
edit The game seems it was originally called "Depth".
