i dunno what's what anymore.

Well, I pretty much thought to myself "if this game was called Half-Life 3, I wouldn't be disappointed" But now it's seriously fucking with my brain.

I have looked and looked but can't find a fix to two problems any where so maybe one of you can help me.

First problem is that the menus are all black. I have tried adjusting the brightness slider in the game but it doesn't help.

Second problem is my mouse cursor doesn't appear. Tried doing the config change to setting joysticks to 0 but it didn't help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First problem is very likely texture pack corruption on install. I had the same problem with faces. No faces anywhere, just black. Reinstalled and went away.

Obvious question is obvious -- got the latest video drivers right?

What is 1999 mode? Is that a harder difficulty than Hard? Only playable in a NewGame+?

Loving the game so far.

Yes and no such thing as new game+ yet.

Dandai · Apr 1, 2013

You can unlock 1999 mode without beating it, but if you're looking for a more casual experience, I don't suggest it. AFAIK the actual difficulty of NPCs doesn't change from hard (hp/damage) but the availability of resources and cost of death does change. This adds a layer of frustration, not fun, for people who would otherwise rather go through the game only visiting the optimal path.

Saladus · Apr 1, 2013

Just finished the game... wow. Probably as close to perfect as you can get for a single player FPS. My mind is blown. Now I have to go back through this whole thread and read everyone's spoiler tags. What an amazing game.

Try turning off steam overlay, then reinstall steam if that doesnt work. That is what fixed my issues.

Finished and really liked the game overall, but the ghost boss fight was absolutely awful. Spawning infinite numbers of mobs when you have very limited ammo is dumb as fuck and favors a brute force approach(kill the ghost before I run out of ammo/salts). I guess there might have been some gears that could have helped with the problem but didn't find them(random drops yay). Overall I hated it. It's even more annoying if you happen to die and the boss regens like 25% life while you don't get any ammo back so you're fucked the more you die, which again favors the brute force approach.

Yea, the ghost fights, specifically the first one was absurd. It made me have to change from Hard down to Medium just for that fight. I'm sure there's some gear/vigor combo that cheeses the fight but I could simply not keep up with keeping enough ghosts down to stay alive while damaging lady ghost enough.

Anyone on my question from my last post?

Was it just me, or was Dewitt a little too carefree about jumping through the tears at the beginning. First when Chen was dead and again when they need to move chen's tools out of the police headquarters. The second time seems more out of place. It's like "turns out machines used to make weapons are indeed large. Well f it, lets just jump to an alternate reality instead of figuring out how to move them." Then after that tear the vox have risen, etc and Dewitt is like "let's get back to Fitzroy so we can get our ship back". I mean for all he knows Fitzroy could have died in the uprising and not even exist in this reality. Or, why would Dewitt expect Fitzroy to even know or remember a deal they made 2 realities ago?
