Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

I can confirm that the AVX bug that prevented first gen I7 / Xeon's from working and AMD pre Bulldozer was corrected as of last night. I played half the evening on a twin X5690 machine.

It wasn't a bug.
 
Another: legendary set items in your ship storage will not auto-level when you finish the set. You have to be carrying them in your inventory.
 
I hope Ubisoft should fix the bugs in games before releasing the DLC's
 
here is an odd question. So this game doesn't support SLI but whn you are in the game, if you hit F1, it shows both GPUs and it shows that they are both being used at a 95%+ level. ddoes that mean it sort of works or is one GPU doing phyx or something?

even a single 980gtx is at least getting me a solid 50fps. I turned volumetric clouds to low, DoF to off, fog to low, and water to high or medium at 1080p

I'm getting the same thing, both gpus report 99% but I Get the same fps even if I disable sli.

BTW the new patch: Bad news. Now I'm getting bluscreens. Never happened before.
 
LOL, played 4 hours progressed 1%. At least half an hour from that was fighting 2 mercenaries.

Anyone knows if it's possible to turn off user screenshots on the map, permanently? It's really annoying that I Try to fast travel but if there is one nearby that's what gets highlighted every time.

this i would like to know!!!! SUCH A STUPID FEATURE.
 
I have such a short attention span when it comes to the main quest line. I keep jumping in to ship to ship combat, wondering off to other islands for no reason whatsoever. Lets see how your doing:

I excitedly clicked on the Angry Joe review only to discover it's literally just the 3 guys sitting there for 30 minutes complaining about grinding and microtransactions.

What microtransactions?

Im lvl 5 but dont feel lime im grinding anything.
 
If you pause the game and click "Store" there's a pretty extensive shop of gear, cosmetics, and boosts. :p
 
There's a SpecialK mod in the works for AC:OD.
Also the creator blames driver overhead for poor performance.

https://github.com/kaldaien/SpecialK/releases/sk_odyssey

Kaldaien has released the first version of his SpecialK mod for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey that features Alternate Task Scheduling (causes task threads to sleep more often), Re-Balance Interval (works around a Windows scheduler bug for Ryzen CPUs that tries to run 75% of the game’s thread on a single CPU core) and Multimedia Class Scheduling (intelligently raises and lowers the priority of resource management threads as they begin to impact the availability of the CPU for non-resource loading tasks).

Thanks for the heads up!

(wanted some info from a fellow nehalemer)

*buying now*
 
Call me crazy, but I really appreciate the things most people take as no big deal. I was just sitting there soaking in the sea. How a live the sea felt. Whales, sharks, dolphins, jelly fish, etc, etc... And the mechanics/physics behind it all. I have been on a small boat with big waves. This was so awesome how you get that feel with your own ship in game. Big ship climbing big waves. Lightening going off all round you during a storm with said waves. That's why I care so much for the advancement of GPU graphics and not settling for "at least it has good game play and that's what counts, could careless about the graphics." This is why graphics/physics are so important. It makes the game feel "alive". Shadow of the Tomb Raider is beautiful too and love it, but it feels static to me compared to this games environment.

Instead of blowing through this game, I soaking in it. And it is a bath I don't want to get out of for a while.

P.S. For the grind whining, really? Every FPS is grinding too. Destiny 2 is the perfect example of a FPS grind for gear. You aim, shoot, repeat 100 times an hour. So yes Francis, every game can be a "grind". Pick your version of "grind" and leave others to theirs.
 
Dling now....

Question, is the $10 xp boost really worth it for a LAZY man?

Ubi counts on people being lazy and paying their way around the required grind. So, I'd say don't reward their bullshit tactics, but it's you're money so if you want to just get to the good bits (story and some of the side-quests) and not do the grindy "content" (almost everything else) paying for that crap is your only option.

Play the game the way you want to, and if level gating is holding you back, then consider buying it.
Otherwise if you're the type of person to consistently clear at least some side content, you probably won't need it.

Unfortunately the SpecialK mod thread was deleted from the Steam forums and Kaldaien banned from the Assassins Creed Odyssey hub. Reason stated was for "Linking to malicious software", which is complete bullshit.

At least the direct link you supplied still works.

Would this benefit me?

Or is this just for the high-end people..
 
Seems the High preset with clouds to medium and DOF to low yields me a buttery 45 fps.

AND the in-game fps limiter is actually decent, unlike Witcher 3....

*very pleased

The controls are going to take some getting used to though....

(same with Monster Hunter World; I think I'm just rusty with the ole 360 pad)

I'm enjoying the game, mostly. It does seem to have been crafted to be exceptionally grindy, thus the booster stuff. There appears to be a decent solution though. Scoring headshots with a bow nets much more xp per kill. so I have respec'd into bow style skills. It is fairly effective.
 
So far, the sidequests were engaging enough. It ain't grind if I enjoy doing it.

These people who make mod/trainers like to cheat in games because they are bad players, and IMO should be banned for life.

This Mod user has been known of putting game altering files between their software. For example, this person took it on themselves to make their software corrupt a pirated copy save files. You can read more herehttps://steamcommunity.com/app/812140/discussions/0/1728711392739385880/

The hell are you talking about in your first sentence? His mods fix games and improve performance. None of them are trainers or cheat programs. Even if he did why do you care if people use trainers in a SINGLE PLAYER GAME?

As for the other sentence, utter crap. The supposed "proof" is due to a dying hard drive. So that is not remotely the fault of the mod. The other link is to the beginning of a 420+ page thread. Exactly which of the several thousand posts does the poster want people to look at? Kaldien can be an ass and definitely has an ego, but all the things thrown at him are pretty bunk. So many conspiracy theories that seem to stem from pissy pirates.

Edit: I also find it amusing that the poster makes that thread somewhere where the modder is banned and can't defend himself. Almost like the poster doesn't have the balls to make the accusations directly.

I don't have any hard stats but my guess would be that people who use cheats/trainers in single player games are also cheating in multiplayer games...cheaters like to cheat and do not limit themselves to 1 genre

Maybe some do, or maybe people just prefer to have fun in a single-player game and not deal with elements that frustrate them. If people cheat in MP, ban their ass. If they want to do it in SP games, big fucking deal.

Do you have any proof about his mod! come on you're defend him put it on the tablet, if what you're saying it only 'fix games and improve performance' why did he get banned just for a mod? Right.

The burden of proof is on you. You made the claim and provided BS as "proof". Try harder.

FYI, his mod is COMPLETELY open source software, so check out his code or otherwise, STFU.

And yes, the mod isn't a cheat / trainer so I don't know why that was brought up in the first place.

It is simply designed to improve framepacing performance.

He's in the wrong for the blacklist, but his mod is completely open source. Those two specific people can remove the blacklist. As for the SteamID check. Remove a single line of code. This seems more like a witch hunt then anything. There is nothing malware or malicious in his mods. When it's not an attempt at mob justice, it seems like he ends up getting himself banned more often due to his attitude than anything else. Even in the topic you linked to it was stated he was banned from the Nier forums due to being an ass. I don't like the guy's attitude, not going to stop me from using his mods though as he seems to be the only one bothering to work on a lot of these games.

I never used or seen his mods, some modellers builds scripts in their mods that can sometimes break the game save files I think stream didn't like API been changed who knows why about the code!, you ask me why I care people cheat in SP games I don't only MP.

Valve generally doesn't seem to care about people doing some performance tweaks to the API, as long as they're not making mods to completely bypass it or do other things that would violate the TOS. It's up to individual publishers and developers to decide whether or not they want to allow mod discussions on their Steam game forums. SE, for example, is generally okay with it as long as the poster remains civil. He was banned from the Nier forum due to his attitude but he's still allowed on other SE game forums. In this case, Ubisoft (or someone managing the page) doesn't seem to like mods or took the witch hunt seriously and banned him due to a flood of, false, reports. Kaldien's attitude has gained him a lot of enemies, but he keeps going with the attitude and his work.
