Agreed. Patch pleeeeease.
On switch, it's inaudible without headphones. With headphones, and switch at max volume, everything is still very quiet.

I think it's been reported several times already. And we know a patch is coming, all we have to do is wait to see what is getting fixed.
Yeah, Blood deserves better. One of the best shooters to come out of the 90's and that's saying something.
I've been playing a lot of Blood: Fresh Supply on Steam. Having a great time. This version has issues/needs fixes?
Speaking of more Nightdivin', looking forward to their Sin and Kingpin releases.
Blood: Fresh Supply has the "Made to Order" customizable difficulty, which is pretty dang nice.
Kingpin is 3D Realms, we aren't related to that by any means.
Sorry, not sure why I had that on my mind. I had been playing Sin: Gold a few weeks back and didn't know about Sin: Reloaded until I was searching up Sin on the Steam store for the discussion board. Looking forward to that. Been playing a lot of Blood: FS and Quake lately, great work!
No that version is mostly fine, I meant it more in terms of the source code not being available and that the IP is languishing. It deserves a much better sequel than it got back then. Either that or a full on remake of the original game.
Speaking of Blood they're still selling Blood 2 on gog and the game needs like 600 hours of troubleshooting to make it run on some computers. I could not get it to run on mine, no matter how many guides I followed and how many fixes I tried.
You should be glad. Blood 2 is a catastrophe from start to finish and just a waste of time at this point, even if you get it to run "properly". I savescummed my way through it a couple years ago and it was a completely miserable experience all the way through. Watch this video instead, at least it's funny watching someone else suffer through it:
For me, Blood is like RE4.
Two excellent examples of well-thought game design.
p.s.
And yes, i know, like , 2 or 3 people who prefer sequel...
Fun fact, the director of Diablo 3, who insulted the creator of Diablo 2 over Hellgate: London, has this piece of shit on his resume.
For anyone playing on a Mac or PC and looking for more good Quakin', make sure you check out the Alkaline mod. It's a collaboration between different mappers that just released this past June and it's right up there with MachineGames new expansion. Hopefully it gets an official release so people on consoles can play...

Not really other than don't pickup ammo/armor unless you need one.
But without knowing what lies ahead and where secrets are, Nightmare is well.. nightmare.
Never stop moving. 😂 It's not nearly as bad as it might seem at first, and a 50 HP limit is actually really fucking refreshing.
I guess yeah, keep periodic saves so as not to become super frustrated or to force fun limits on yourself!

Perhaps we can get our own unofficial mod list of forum goer's favorites, since mods are so delicious?
1. Arcane Dimensions
2. Alkaline
Absolutely. I'd love to get a ResetEra mod recommendations list going. Personally the only other one I've played besides these two is Punishment Due which is a smaller, more traditional mod of five maps, but the level and encounter design is wonderful! It was also released just this year!
Coinciding with the re-release, Robert Yang created a very comprehensive list of his favorite mods on Rock Paper Shotgun last month. That's where I initially heard of these.
For logistical reasons, there's no timeline that could ever be given. Any possible candidate needs to be QA tested and have all its resources verified to ensure they do all belong to the authors. Arcane Dimensions for example is filled with Hexen 2 textures and couldn't be used, so stuff like that would need to carefully checked in any possible map.
I mean that's pretty disingenuous considering he has Blood 1 on his resume too.
And Company of Heroes, which is also great. And Brievik has Diablo 2 on his.
Nightmare is a lot of fun, it's hard but fair, only bs thing about it is the spawns and spike mines (from SoA expansion) are basically one hit kill enemies, thankfully on both cases they're pretty uncommon imo.
Interesting. But isn't Hexen 2 published by id Software/Bethesda themselves? Would it really not be possible to clear those assets in that case?
Published, sure, but they don't own the IP. It was also an example, it's not only going to be Hexen textures.
Ah, that makes sense. Real pity it won't work out, but thanks for the info.
Developed by Raven Software, which means it's tied up with Activision.
According to SteamDB ND is pushing changes almost daily, but according to Edward it's up to Bethesda to green light the patch. I'm assuming when it will finally drop they will address this somehow since it's probably the most common criticism regarding this port, but for me the weapon wheel bug is game breaking, so I'm waiting for this to be fixed to continue playing.
If you're seeing what I think you're seeing, pay absolutely no heed to that. We have a Jenkins server that automatically compiles and uploads builds to a specific "hot branch" as it were and is triggered by absolutely anything including changes to the Kex Engine on completely different games.
As for the potential patch front, I can't get into details but things are far more complex than what they would first seem. Don't go pointing at the usual suspects.

Aww, man. So there's no hope that you guys could be working on a Heretic/Hexen remaster? (not that I would expect you to announce it here to a nobody like myself.)
Wondering if anyone else is experiencing framerate slowdown in local multiplayer deathmatch (2-player is what I tried) on Episode: Dimension of the Machine, MGDM3: The Mustard Factory, Nintendo Switch version.
All other maps I've played seem to be running smooth, but unless my eyes are playing tricks, the game loses noticeable frames on just this map (but maybe there are others).

Ah, well, I'm doing it a bit of a disservice: armor limits are unaffected- though they reset between levels- and a certain item will let the player earn over 50HP but it degrades back to 50.
Certainly the best way to play vanilla nowadays imho
Really interesting interview with Andrew Yoder and Christian 'CZG' Grawert from Machine Games who worked on Dimension of the Machine. They talk about working on the most recent official expansion, their 'Quake Club' and their thoughts and approaches to mapping.

Lil' bits of interest:
- The 6th unused portal in DotM was originally going to contain 2 additional levels, but due to people falling off from the project they had to consolidate some of the WIP's and scale down to 5 portals.
- Mappers on the project were essentially free to do whatever they want without having to worry about fitting into a comprehensive theme for the expansion.
- When asked if they're working on more levels, they give 'no comment' and say they are still mapping and to keep an eye on the add-ons tab... :->

More than likely a hacked executable. While you can do more players via direct IP, we ran into various performance issues with more than 8 players so the playfab networking was limited to 8, and thus if you see a 16 player game in the list, that means the person has changed their executable in such a way to change the lobby limit. Approach with caution.

Update's out on Steam, no patch notes but this is what's shown on the in-game news section:
I tried controller out and it seems fine to me now, the aim-assist is kinda weird as it'll snap to targets unpredictably but otherwise seems perfectly playable in a way it definitely wasn't before.
You can set binds for specific weapons in the input options now too, so that's nice.
The low-res option seems unchanged though, so it still doesn't look right.

OMG please have mouse support on console now.
Edit: It's in (PS4 tested)! Menu navigation is weird if you click the mouse though. You have to back up once or twice and then hit a key on the keyboard or button on the controller to get the cursor and navigation back.
