Lol, yeah I figured as much. For anyone wondering, it was a mod that removed "they" from the pronoun options at character creation. |
Wow, ain't that some shit. Someone should reach out to those guys at Nexus and ask them for their official reasoning behind that (we got offended!!). Valid mod as far as I'm concerned.
Man this game's kickin my ass. Has anyone figured out how much each little pip on the ground equates to distance wise? Kind of pointless to have a min/optimal/max distance statistic on each weapon if the player has no way of gauging how far that is. They need a ruler tool or something.

@Immunity
If you move you see a visual indication about your weapons range.
Though i don't think you can those that without moving?!

You left click once to select the destination (can also be your current position if you want to remain stationary, like if you have Bulwark), then you can rotate your facing arc and whatever weapons you have active will show range gradients. If you mouseover an enemy while doing this, you will see a preview of your shot percentages from that position. You only move when you click a second time, so you can just cancel out of it if you want to preview from a different location.
It's a bit clunky, and yes, actual numbers would be good. Not just for that, a lot of stuff is very opaque, like mech performance stats. Things like heat management are maddeningly obscured.

Tried this for a bit (first 2 missions) but yeah will wait for a few patches, performance was pretty good at first with locked 60 but it goes to shit often enough to be annoying and lowering the settings doesn't help at all, could probably squeeze out a few more fps in those situations if i oc my 4790k a bit more but it's not worth the hassle, considering how low they set the system requirements something is clearly wrong atm.

I also played the first two story missions (plus the first mercenary contract where you don't get paid). The game tutorial does not really explain the details of the tactical combats: the armor, health, heating jauges, the weapons and their ranges, the concepts for evasion, difficulty, injuries, morale, knockout...
I am now reaching the strategical part and feel lost in front of the UI.
Well the game is maybe not meant to be noob friendly with people not familiar with the battlemech universe.

This made the game go from frustrating, to incredibly enjoyable! Not sure how I didn't notice it before. Or, rather I did notice it, but only passively and within melee range, so yea, I'm an idiot.
The game starts to get a lot better once you have some breathing room in terms of funding and selection available for mechs (salvage rights almost always trump funding - 3 pieces = brand new mech for you!) Also, always check the stores when in planets for + and ++ equipment. It's ALWAYS better than the stock, and has the same tonnage, so use it when possible. Also, do NOT underestimate turrets. They will fuck up your day. And make use of jump jets whenever heat allows it, as they're almost always better for evasion charges than sprinting or walking somewhere.
Rough start to this one, but I'm really enjoying it now. It's choppy as hell after a while though, feels like it's got a memleak or something going on. Shouldn't run this bad for this level of visuals.

Well the game never actually teaches you about it (or a bunch of other stuff), so don't feel too bad.
For anyone else wondering about controls and the UI, maybe have a look at this - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1365402907

The mechbay in particular in the latter half of the game really slows down. Just changing the colour scheme of a mech takes like 10-15 seconds for me now (and this is on an NVMe SSD with 32GB of RAM, so I think I should have its requirements covered). Fucking Unity.

A crit on a location with an ammo bin that is more than half full will cause it to explode, destroying that section. So never put ammo in the CT/RT/LT.
However, because the default loadouts are so shit and do this sort of thing all the time, you can use this to your advantage. A lot of enemy mechs will have ammo in the LT/RT, so if you can cause them to blow you'll instantly get a pilot injury. This is a great way to get the full 3 parts of a mech you are hunting. Blow a LT/RT for one or more injuries. Knock it down via instability through missile attacks for another injury. Take out a leg to knock it over again for another injury. Early on, 3 injuries should be enough to incapacitate most pilots.

Anyone noticing a memory leak or something?
I played yesterday for ~4 hours or so and at the end I had fps of <20.
I'm not far in the game yet, just got the Argo and did the first upgrades to it.

It's just Unity. Performance degrades the longer you play. I assume it is save game related, much like the issue Pillars of Eternity had.

No reason it can't be both. Every Unity game that comes out has people posting the same issues. It's not a coincidence.

It's not a very stable engine, but the developers didn't do their job for sure.

Subnautica is a Unity game and it didn't have similar issues.

But like 80% of the other Unity perform like total shit - this here included.
There is no fucking excuse that it stutters like hell in the fucking menus. Or you have to wait 1sec or longer for something to happen after you click a menu button.
Can't even bruteforce through the crap engine with my setup, because neither CPU or GPU get really used.
It might be an easy to use engine, but optimizing it seems to take quite the effort - and for some might even be an impossible task.

But hope they fix that in patch sometime.

It probably should, but it would make it far too easy to disable most enemies.

Waste of fuckin time  |
You must be getting really unlucky, I can only (maybe) recall this happening once, and I should be at least 3/4 through the game (currently using assault 90T+ level mechs (or was, mostly lost interest now)). I have had plenty of head shots cost 1 health though, but I found a reinforced cockpit early, so my main tank had 2 free health (no recovery time needed). The off tank slot was rotating mechwariors for whomever wasn't hurt.
Also, missiles seem to be over powered once I started maxing them out on 65T+. I set up 2 artillery mechs with 2 or more 10+ LRM combined with the other 2 mechs with 2 - 3 SRM, guns, and/or lasers. This was knocking almost any focus fired enemy mech on its ass. Where I then kill it with free concentrated fire to the mid section. I try to keep the artillery mechs out of any kind of fire, far behind lines, elevated, using indirect fire only, if possible. Trying to down mechs by shooting anywhere that was not center, took too long, and gave me huge repair times, so never seemed worth it.
Usually, the repairs/healing are under 30 days (upgraded ship), which I often use traveling between missions points anyway. At most, its 2 missions between story missions and the story missions are all huge pay.

Fucking shit.
The game doesn't even pause when you access the menus, loading the list of saves takes forever because the battles run on the background. Wth...
