no patch notes so far...
as far as we know it adds a difficulty setting, fixes some (not many/all) bugs but does NOT add/fix DLSS and/or RT
Alright, I'm done. The spider boss is a definite difficulty spike compared to everything up to that point, I'm not having fun bashing my head against it, especially when it bugs out and there's two of them.
Rage quit and uninstalled. Still, it's a Gamepass game, I got some hours of solid fun out of it, and the visuals were pretty. No regrets.

So I have seen a little of GiantBomb and Nextlander playing this and I have a question. I have been looking for a game that scratches the itch that Gauntlet Dark Legacy did, could that be this game? I dont like the rougelikes of that style of game that have been coming out as Gauntlet DL's designed stages felt connected in a way you cant get with random generation.
Y'all were not kidding about the side quest level issue.
Side Quest recommended level: 3
All the mobs up to the building: 3-6
All the mobs right outside the building you just need to walk into to complete the quest: 17
WTF?
At least once I'm roaming around literally steps outside the starting hub area that has level 3-6 dudes and like out of no where in an area I had previously cleared the game tosses out some level 20's… and I'm level 6. 😐
And then you die and reload and POOF… the bad guys that were there aren't there no more.
I guess they decided that since the world was too dense to be randomly generated, they'd randomly generate enemy encounters… but damn, the AI director has no chill.

That Onyx Operative mission was a pain in the ass with that boss fight. You immediately come out of the cutscene with no cover and a bunch of invisible dudes with katanas sprinting at you. Took me about 10 tries before I finally beat it. The augmentation that slows down enemy fire within the AoE was really what helped me in the end.
Now I'm having trouble getting kills to count in the Sweet Justice side-mission that has you use stasis overcharge on 10 folks. I spent 39k for the grenade and while it has a really cool effect, enemies killed by it aren't counting. Anyone else run into this issue?

Steam version always had difficulty setting. Seems this was the version to get and not gamepass on PC.
I completed this on my second attempt not too long ago. I found it easier with one of the autorifes some trash mob dropped not too far from the elevator up. That and my secondary rocket launcher eventually did the work but I focused on the invis guys first, before the strongest one.
Yup, I did. I can't kill two bosses at once, even on easy.
Two copies of the same boss spawning, that's a bug. But it's apparently quite a frequent one, sadly.
That sucks. I totally get your position though. The moment something stops clicking with me, or I hit a wall, I just move on. Theres's too much to play to just bash my head against something. That's why I typically play games on easy these days. Not enough time.
So I apparently was sorely mistaken about the part everyone was having trouble with. I *thought* it was the imprint on the AGI mission, which is the first time you encounter the count down time mechanic. But no, it is clearly the *reboot* the AGI countdown timer mission - which is a significant jump in difficulty. Enemies come from all directions and in greater numbers and are a lot more aggressive at getting you to move out of cover. I tried it a couple of times, made it almost to the end of the timer once the first, and then got immediately demolished on the second run. I felt like I *could* have eventually beat it, if I swapped around augs and found a good balance between offense and defense - but honestly, I didn't want to beat my head against the encounter for an hour. I dropped the difficulty down to easy and even then it still required pretty clean play and judicious use of augs and such to win.
Consider this me officially eating crow about down playing earlier complaints about this mission. It's definitely a weird spike in difficulty and I'm glad I got to it when dropping the difficulty was an option.

I think these are my 2 biggest issues with the game.
The side-quest "gates" with either the map locked off or enemies over-leveled. Why make them available if you can't even reach it at the time?
The ability to explore but getting 1HK by over-leveled enemies you barely have time to react to or were off-screen and had no time-to react.
I wish they used the radar to more obviously warn players (in advance) when they're moving toward mobs that are WAY above their level. Like, a red flashing and/or beep or feedback sound that increases as you approach those groups would be better than just getting immediately murdered and respawning.
It's both hilarious and annoying.
Achievements in general were working fine for me, unless you're talking about more specific bugged-out cheevos.

So, its the game SDR-only in Xbox Series X - Gamepass?
Its not triggering HDR or Auto HDR for me.

I'm downloading it now. Do you know if it at least lets me play in DX11?
Which apparantly runs way better.
Oh jesus lol, that would definitely make me question my sanity
So, I have a couple questions!
1. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to put skills?
2. What is this I hear about Xbox Achievement bug(s)?
3. How are you all enjoying Co-op?
4. Does a Discord exist for this game?

Honestly, I think that's a good call. The game is good fun as is - but there are a few issues. The good news is that the Devs, as you can see from this thread, are pretty actively stomping them out. Definitely recommend checking it out though!
I'm disappointed by Gamespot's score of 6....their main gripe seemed to be difficulty imbalance. Is this something that can be patched?
I had 11 of the spider boss spawn LOL!! It was insanity because they each spawn adds 😂
I sure hope it will be.
Well, add me to the .75% who have finished the game.
I think this is one of the achievements that's bugged. I have the game finished and it didn't unlock for me.
to be honest, I have zero issues on PC playing this in either DX12 or DX11, no micro stutters or anything so I cannot say if performance has been fixed or not
only thing that still bothers me is missing DLSS on the gamepass version
1. --> see here, great build writeup, can recommend to everyone!
2. no idea, playing on PC
3. enjoying coop PC <-> Series X with 2 friends, few issues so far except for 1 quick crash, only host "saves" the progress so you better have 1 coop character and 1 solo character to not lose any progress
4. no idea, ERA has a discord, right? we're using built-in xbox party voice chat (works PC <-> Xbox)

I've had a few issues with the achievements.
- Completed the game and 100G achievement for finishing didn't unlock.
- The achievement for finishing all the side missions is stuck on 78% and won't move past it.
- The achievement for filling the codex is stuck on 86% and won't move past it (says 0.00% of gamers have unlocked this - so it's definitely bugged)
- The "Suicidal" achievement for being dying more than 100 times is stuck on 35% for me. I've intentionally tried getting this and no matter how many times I die it still says at 35%
Hopefully all will be fixed soon :)
I agree with you, a disparity of features on a game that depends on where you get it is not something that should be, I wonder what happened there..
- Same. It's clearly bugged for some people because there's another achievement to complete the last mission, and both of these should unlock at the same time. More people have unlocked the last mission achievement than the "complete the game" achievement -- therefore, it's a buggy achievement even though it works for some people.
- Also bugged for me. I'm stuck at 85% after completing all 28 side missions (Yes, I did do all 5 casino side missions)
- Bugged for everyone. Literally no one in the world has this achievement. There is a second codex achievement to find all enemy codex entries. Also bugged for everyone, as no one has unlocked this achievement. These two are now flagged as impossible on trueachievements.
- Definitely buggy. Try making a new character. I experienced the same issue but I made a new character and died ~25 times on it before the tracker began updating again and I eventually got it to unlock.
Achievements are obviously low on the totem pole for fixing but one would hope these issues get fixed in the next few months. I think that's a reasonable timeframe to expect.
I've seen a few bugs so far but the only thing I REALLY have an issue with is the side quests being locked behind story progression but they don't tell you. Like, I think I'm doing something wrong or the game bugged out and the NPC isn't there so I do a reload... nope.. just need to get further in the story.
Don't give up. Redo your build and weapons and keep going. It's a skill check but worth getting through as the game really gets going soon after.
After all the WOM, definitely going to wait until they add difficulty levels. Hopefully it won't take months.
That sucks. It doesn't seem universal for some of them.
1. As noted, the 100g complete all main missions popped for me. Not sure it matters but I had completed all side missions before moving to complete the game.
2. I did not experience this one, thankfully. It popped fine for me.
3. I'm at 85% there and yeah, its stuck at 0.0%
4. On this one, I'm at 72% and its counting for me when I intentionally die but I haven't gone out of my way to get it.
I'm not in any way invalidating the issues you're having. Those are obviously getting bugged for folks. Some of them aren't entirely universal it seems. The codex one seems to definitely be borked at the moment.
Oh thanks, lol, I asked somebody else and they said no, guess they were spreading disinformation.
Yeah this got me a few times as well. Those side quests shouldn't be available or you shouldn't be able to speak to the quest giver until you have unlocked the area.
Quick question, does anyone know which ICE upgrade increases the skill to open level 2 chests?

I finished it last night and found it a good experience overall. Very buggy (3 spider bosses!), terrible map navigation, poor checkpoints, and pretty unbalanced difficulty-wise. However, the gameplay, graphics, and music were top-notch and really elevated my experience. I'll definitely give it another go after a few patches. 7/10
Ugh, this is like the 5th time today I have had to restart the game because for whatever reason, none of weapons fire when I pull the trigger. Really annoying and random when it happens.

Gotcha, thanks
