tried running jokers that give me 1 hp per joker and 1 (2) hp per 20 gold (+ found 1 giant)

I've locked fps to 120 via rtss/msi ab, and it stays at 120 fps almost all the time
(it can even keep steady 150 fps most of time) but during big fights on nightmare when there's
lots of enemies and explosions and particles and ppl castin spells and stuff my fps drops to 60-90 and fluctuates wildly like slowdowns or stutters.

I've tried both maximum and minimal graphics options but it doesn't really change much.
It's still sluggish 70-80 fps during any big fight on nightmare.

It gets me killed more than snipers or bomb guys cuz it feels like game slows down
every other second and throws my aim off and makes it harder to see stuff.

I don't know what to do. I only play nightmare cuz other difficulties feel too easy.
I'm addicted to the game and it's combat but it gets tiring with the fps drops.

Anyone have same issue? Anything else I can do?

1 - I really like HP bars above enemies but I dislike the damage numbers pop ups. I'd really like if we could choose to have only one of those two. So I can have hp bars above dangerous enemies but no damage numbers when I shoot things.

2 - Hp bars above allies. For people who like to heal via voodoo tree and play medic it would really help to have small hp bars above friends so we don't have to check top left corner of screen all the time.

3 - Option to reduce sharpening. Sharpening in this game is quite aggressive and I would love to be able to reduce it a bit without need to use mods or such.

4 - Tooltip for new players to let them know you can pick up stuff by holding interact button. This would help a lot of new players who keep dropping an hp bottle because they're mashing the interact button instead of holding it.

5 - Tooltip letting new players know you can shoot the bell at extraction to activate train arrival instead of going up to the bell and holding interact button. Small thing but it would be nice for more players to know about it.

6 - Info in game explaining that shotgun does not lose damage the further away the enemy it's shot at is. I at first didn't use shotgun much because I thought it would deal less damage at longer ranges but it seems it always deals full damage as long as it hits.

7 - Info saying aiming down sights reduces spread a little bit and slows you down a little bit. At least it seems to reduce spread a tiny bit.

8 - Implementation of actual aiming down sights/ADS. Where the iron sights of model of a gun are actually in middle of screen. It would feel really nice and make me want to use ads more.

9 - Have a chance for Elite Enemies to spawn on very hard difficulty or have difficulty between very hard and nightmare where it's just like very hard but with elites also spawning.

10 - Being able to destroy gold ore vein via more spells than just fireball. We already get some less gold by not mining it with pickaxe so I feel like it'd be nice if most spells would be able to destroy gold ore.

11 - (Edit: I overlooked it; this does exist) Option to ban players. If at least temporarily. I myself have good luck getting friendly team8s as I was hosting but I read and heard of people getting players who grief and intentionally team kill. Having just the kick option allows these griefers to join back and resume griefing.

11 (2) - When using fire fingers; option to use other two spells and then resume to use fire fingers.

12 - Separate audio options for voice chat. One for volume of players and one for volume of your own microphone.

13 - Fix for enemies' pathing when far in water or up high. On nightmare it's really easy to cheese the difficulty by having players go far into the water at edges of map or up high where enemies just can't track to you.

14 - Cheap joker to reduce outcoming and incoming friendly fire damage.

15 - Simple voice comms shoutout wheel with "Thank You", "Sorry", "Need Ammo" and "Need Heals" options.

etc... I had many more on my mind but can't think of them right now...

p.s. I have to share this awesome suggestion from a fellow cowboy:

" infidel11990

These are all great points. I agree wholeheartedly.

I would add maybe making players immune from all damage when they are on the extraction train. Or reduce all damage by a significant amount.

I have lost so many missions because of one player deciding to go on a walkabout,instead of jumping on the train. While the reat of us are waiting. And in that rush, it's not always easily to comprehend what is happening. Whether you need to wait, or jump off to save yourself as you can die in seconds on Nightmare. And lose the entire mission if the last person also then dies. "

Has anyone seen online any guides for optimizing performance of the game by tweaking graphics options?
Like, which ones affect fps and how much and maybe even visual comparisons of image quality for each option?

I can get 120+ fps with everything maxed at most times but when playing nightmare and there's like a million enemies my fps drops to 45ish.

Do devs know about it and are they planning to fix it?

So, basically, if you go to edge of map far out into the water enemies path finding get broken and they just stay in one place at the shore.

It a cheese strat but seen a lot of people use it.

Not a big thing really but thought it would be nice if they made it so enemies can track you into the water properly.

So I was in a full lobby in saloon and I went to use 5 XP tickets on my character.

I spammed the buttons and used them really fast.

But I noticed a ticket or two seemed to not increase my level at all and one or two tickets didn't looks like they gave me 5 levels but less instead.

After I used up all 5 tickets I was pretty sure I did not gain 25 levels on my character as I should have.

Now this might be just me being wrong, I can't confirm it. But I wanted to hear if anybody else seemed to have noticed a similar thing.

Maybe cuz I was in multiplayer and spammed buttons really fast to use tickets the server didn't register a ticket or two or some de-sync issue happened due to internet connection or just a bug, idk

So far I have been using this loadout and getting 1k+ kills with it. Managed to beat nightmare with it for first time and didn't die once.

What sort of builds do you guys use for Nightmare. I am still quite scared if playing nightmare difficulty but would really like to play it more.

So I am at stable 120 fps with everything maxed except Lumen being turned off.

I was wondering if anyone who has played with lumen on and off can give their opinion if it's worth having it turned on.

Does better looking image over weight the loss of some fps?

Dwarf and Giant Jokers are such clever, creative and fun thing the game has. Wish more games would do this kinda goofy stuff. Funny but also well implemented.

(on PC) If you use toggle sprint you can sprint while inputing stratagem codes.

But if you use hold to sprint you can only walk and input codes.

This is a pretty big disadvantage. I contacted customer support year ago and they said it's a know issue.

I just can't use toggle to sprint; I mess up somehow and die, plus it doesn't feel right.
So now I have to walk to input codes cuz I'm using hold to sprint.

I don't know why more people don't talk about this.
Is it that hard to fix this?
Will it ever get fixed?
Man I just want to sprint while typing codes.
Sad

1 - If you lose what do you miss out on? Do you get weapon, spell, character XP or do you just not get gold and souls?

2 - If you already did a Quest is there any point to doing it again? I noticed it says at end of match summary screen "Quest Completed" but does it award any XP or just nothing?

3 - Does Aiming Down Sights do anything like decrease bullet spread or something?

4 - Where do you look up non-expired rewards codes?

5 - In Jungle map there are two items called map plans or something like that and when you pick each of them up it says quest complete. Is this some unfinished thing they forgot to build up and left it in game?
Because I didn't find any other info on it in-game or online.

6 - Is there a way to decrease the game's sharpening without using mods?

7 - Do you get any rewards for doing the mini quest things like shooting bells, cactus reunion, lighting up mushrooms, building snowman, etc after you've done them once already for the joker?
Or is it just the in game help that you get from randomly spawned bells, cactus bombs, new heal mushroom spawns, glowing snowman?

8 - Is there a way to enable HP bars above enemies and teammates somehow?

9 - Is it true weapon XP comes from damage dealt and spell xp from how many times you've used it?

10 - Can any other spell destroy the gold rocks besides the fireball?

Switched from Hard to Very Hard recently. And I die a bunch of time.

I love using slow firing western type guns like Leveredge and Revolver.
But now I'm eyeing Long Ranger sniper and wondering if it might perform better on Very Hard difficulty compared to Leveredge.

Should I just keep using Leveredge to gain prestiges on it or should I try out and level up Long Ranger sniper in case it performs better on Very Hard difficulty compared to Leveredge?

Hi. New to the game. Love it.

I am looking for some players from Europe that like to fully clear each meter of the map before extracting.

I already did all the quests and collectibles so I am fine with skipping those if someone wants to.

I just really like to play in a way where I fully explore each part of map and complete everything.

So far I am playing on hard until I get a bit more used to the game.

I love running all voodoo spells to have heal/resurrect spell on low cooldown to help out teammates.

Loving leveredge and revolver so far.

TLDR: Looking for some chill EU teammates that like to fully clear the map when playing.
partially cuz I can't do otherwise due to pretty bad ocd.

I found two Map Plans in Jungle map and it said Quest Completed when I picked them up.
There were two right next to each other and Quest Completed notification popped up after I picked one each of them.

Are there more of these scattered around? Is this part of an unfinished content or something.
I'm confused.

One of most fun and addictive games I've played.

Incredibly fun combat, guns, upgrades system, enemies, maps and music.

Great solo and even better coop.

Good optimization and not too many bugs.

And yet it only has like 5k to 7.5k players daily.
I was worried to buy it cuz of player count but I'm glad I did.
And I hope it rises up in the future so more can experience this great joy of a title.

Edit: Worked when I tried it via phone instead.

Every time I try using the link here from reddit I click join and click "I'm Human" but then shortly after get a message saying "Unable To Accept Invite".

Am I doing something wrong? Anyone else have this issue? I'd really like to join to take advantage of LFG channels.

First time playing. Doing Far West map on Easy. Seems I've done everything on map atm.
But I can't accept railroad worker's quest. The NPC near broken down train.

I can click on accept quest and it makes a sound but doesn't actually accept the quest.
i didn't have a problem with doing the quest for other NPC on the map.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Edit: Happened again when trying to do the quest for Otto in Canyon.

Just bought the game. Seems like just up my alley. I was wondering if yall got any useful need to know tips for a newcomer. Thanks!

I love playing with western guns and helldivers/drg style of game so this feels very appealing.
Got some questions.

1 - Will I be at big disadvantage if I mostly/only use slow firing western revolvers and rifles?

2 - How is optimization overall?

3 - I see it only has 5k to 7.5k players daily now. Should I buy? Does it take long to find players to play with? Should I worry the playerbase will be too small in the future?

4 - How big of a part does audio play? Often when I have heard the ingame music long enough I mute it and lower sfx audio and listen to my own music with sound effects very quiet.
How much harder is the game when you don't hear enemies and such?

5 - Is there any good optimization guide yall would suggest having a look at?

So after the latest update I am sometimes dipping to 50-ish fps during bot drops and lots of explosions and spinning around at a high view point. Before the update it's been similar but still a good bit better.

I am using native and DLAA so I figured I'd lose a few frames over using blurry ass TAA but I have a feel something changed via last update that made game Overall less optimized.

I have been using BenchmarKing's guide as reference as to how to optimize the game and still even if I lower settings the fps drops to 60 and 55 or 50 fps still happen on high difficulty bot missions often enough to make game feel sluggish.

Was wondering if anyone found any good up to date optimization tips.
