Check how often his status switches from WL2 to Not-playing, so we know how often the game CTD's

I saw the same thing and thought, "How the fuck did he get the game?"

Then I remembered he works at inXile now. Ah well, I'm happy to let him hoover up the bugs.

Actually.. It's not that hard for non-steam games. You can just set the shortcut name yourself, and presto chango:

I think people know that, Jack, but it seems kinda unlikely I would fake it. I was kinda curious to see if the Build version (rather than in-Unity) would work with the overlay. It does! Now I'll probably leave the overlay off, it probably doesn't help anything.

so is the game any fun to play, or..?

Hahah! I thought you were just trying to pull your steambuddy's legs.

I guess you didn't, so I'll join Zed. Give details, is it any good?

New update shows a UI that looks clearly better than anything else so far.

New Update:

Much better LOD in these screenshots than any previous ones. Cheers inXile for listening (y)

imgur does appear to compress things though I'm admittedly bad at spotting that. Can you guys tell the difference between that imgur shot and the original uploaded to minus (which doesn't compress)?

Well saving the screenshot as a PNG file would have been better, then you don't get any loss

Is that max graphics Brother None ?

That difference is pretty negligible (though I personally use PNG for pretty much everything), but we do have them as TIFs, naturally. TIF is just not a good sharing format. JPG is fine, and even imgur compression is not that bad.

Dunno, I don't take em. I generally run the game on max settings myself, and I think it's starting to look p damn good.

 

[S2ensuki]

Looks fine to me, all my criticisms to the past screenshots have been addressed. Less distance fog, lower depth of field and higher level of detail

This shit looks nice. If you achieve that level of graphic quality on every map (the prison level was disgusting looking) I think that everyone is going to be satisfied. Well, at least I am.

But the ass names are funny, also, is it too late to sign up for the beta? idk if it said it in the update as I closed it after looking at the pretty pictures.

I don't see how anyone could dislike this, other than to be a nitpicky contrarian.

It's like gory purple prose.

Holy crap! It is a clear improvement in relation to the previous screenshots. My graphics whore instincts are almost pleased.

 

[Excidium]

P. cool.

Where's the ap counter now?

Finally an update which doesn't make me despair.

 

[Whisky]

I approve. I like the sounds of the skills listed, nice variety of them, some perhaps redundant, but whatever, I can dig it.
