@startrek.websiteI was wondering if anyone could offer some insights.
Bit the bullet and purchased Alan Wake 2 on the Epic Game Store. With the DLC on the way I just can't wait any longer and maybe this one will never come to Steam? (With Epic as publishers, who knows)
I've installed Heroic Game Launcher, downloaded the latest Wine-GE and Proton-GE, downloaded the game and managed to get it running. Tried it with both Wine-GE and Proton-GE. No noticeable difference.
My specs:
I'm running things on Medium/High, with FSR2 on Balanced, in 2560x1440
No raytracing enabled anywhere.
Honestly, it doesn't matter what resolution I choose. Even when running is 720p on Low, the framerate is the same.
I get around 27 fps with regular dips into the lower 15-20 when I spin the camera around quickly.
I've finished the first chapter (just in the morgue) and the framerate got choppier and choppier. I get Bright Falls has a lot more going on than the intro woodsy bit. But at this rate, I'm just not sure what to do.
When I look at other people on YouTube, their framerates are much higher. Even on Linux. And with less powerful hardware. Other games run MUCH faster. I get AW2 is demanding, but I can play CP2077: Phantom Liberty at 140+ fps in Dog Town on High in 1440p with FSR2 enabled, so I don't feel that AW2 should tank my PC that hard.
Is there something I'm overlooking here? I've tried the CyberFSR as well, made no noticeable difference.
Mangohud shows my CPU is consistently around 50% and my GPU is around 40% so there's definitely room to push things more, I feel. So why isn't AW2 using these resources?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love this game and want to play it, but the framerate is stopping me from really enjoying it.
I scoured all the Act 1 areas (probably still missed stuff) but finally decided to jump into Act 2. I'm struggling to feel "connected" to it, to be honest. I went down the ladder into the Underdark and just sailed my way across to some ancient Shar-worshipper place and I feel... lost?
I remember this was exactly the issue I had with D:OS2 as well. Played Fort Joy, loved it, made it off the island and couldn't figure out where to go, what to do, etc. The sense of direction left me.
I feel similar vibes here arriving in Act 2. Anyone have any tips or advice, or is it just a case of "stick with it, you'll be all right"? I'm asking because I've played a lot of Act 1 and barely touched the game since making it into Act 2 a few weeks ago.
Hi everyone, I was hoping someone could help me with the following. I have a button that saves a screenshot PNG to the Downloads folder when you press it.
What I want is for the button to disappear after it is pressed, so the screenshot does not include the two menu buttons called "%SaveReport" and "%BackMainMenu".
The code for the save button is listed below:
`
func _on_SaveReport_pressed():
$"%SaveReport".visible = false
$"%BackMainMenu".visible = false
print("I've disabled the buttons")
print("That means the screenshot SHOULD be button free")
take_screenshot()
$"%SaveReport".visible = true
$"%BackMainMenu".visible = true
`
As you can see, it calls the take_screenshot() function which is listed above:
`
func take_screenshot(): image = get_viewport().get_texture().get_image()
if OS.get_name() == "Web" or OS.has_feature('JavaScript'):
print("We're on the web")
# We're on the web
image.clear_mipmaps()
var buffer = image.save_png_to_buffer()
JavaScriptBridge.download_buffer(buffer, fileName)
if OS.get_name() != "Web" or !OS.has_feature('JavaScript'):
# We're not on the web
print("We're not on the web")
var docs = OS.get_environment("HOME") + "/Documents"
var title = str(docs + "/results",global_ints.observed_person_name, global_ints.observation_minutes,".png")
print(title)
var _saveimage = image.save_png(title)
if OS.get_name() != "OSX":
print("We're not on MacOS")
var _openfolder = OS.shell_open(docs)
if OS.get_name() == "OSX":
print("We're on MacOS")
var _openfolder = OS.shell_open("file://" + docs)
`
The code works. The screenshot is taken and it's saved to the Downloads folder and MacOS/Windows/Linux open up the Downloads folder straight after.
For the life of me, I can't figure out why the Back & Screenshot buttons ( "%SaveReport" and "%BackMainMenu") that I turn invisible BEFORE I call take_screenshot() end up being in the screenshot. Every single time.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you!
Where is Chief Kyle?
I'm aware it could just be an actor-is-unavailable thing, but anyone know what happened?
Curious to see how his character could have been developed, particularly after the whole "Not Chief Kyle, he's so mean!" comment from season one as well as the impact of the crewman sacrificing himself to save Kyle's life.
