I was having great fun with the game until PB decided to cockblock me. Pausing my playthrough now while waiting for a Hotfix. The first Patch dropped just when I was about to visit the last faction on my list, namely the Albs. And unfortunately the Patch introduced major (as in can't continue) bugs with the Alb quests.

In the meantime enjoy this comparison between Caja from Trailer vs Caja from in-game, just because:

Literally finished the (supposedly buggy) preview version of the game back in December without encountering any gamebreaking bugs, Albs-related or otherwise. Perhaps they broke something when they "patched" the game pre-release.

First trailer was very obviously not in-game footage, not unlike the cinematic trailer from Dragon Age: Origins and so on.

FoV mod up at Nexus:

Static FOV - Plus No Camera Smoothing. Dampening

https://www.nexusmods.com/elex2/mods/16?tab=description

Camera is pulled back, floaty mouse movement removed. Seems to help.

Great mod, huge improvement. Went with the 70 FOV myself. Absurd that a modder had to do this, rather than PB just fixing the thing they never should have put in their game in the first place. Reeks of stubbornness more than laziness or inability.

I might be crazy, but this FOV mod seems like it might have even positively effected my performance. The snappier camera movement and less floaty feeling in general is such a great improvement, and makes it feel and play much closer to ELEX 1.

Yeah like I wrote in my original post, the bug was introduced with the first patch. Steam Forum is overflowing with people reporting the same issue after patching.

See here for example:

I've still got the ELDEN RING equipped, and haven't installed ELEX 2. Might actually end up doing a 2nd ELDEN RING playthrough before ELEX 2.

Does this mean that my username must be revoked? Technically it only refers to the original game though.

Hopefully I'll dodge the camera issue I hear people bitching about. Surely it'll be patched before I start playing.

There's a mod for it. So that shouldn't be the issue.

It is a cool, very necessary mod btw., and lol @ whoever asked the modder to release a 42 FOV version. :lol:

elex1 had two handed swords right? I havent found single str/dex 2hf weapon so far.

Do you also get better weapons after joining a faction? So far it seems like Im missing upgrade.
Worst case scenario Id have to equip eventually some cool unique 2handed axe. So far only unique weapon with good stats
