High: finishin a gold solo punching a phantom to death. That b** had a broken sword, but i m pretty sure i was going to be impaled a split second after my killing punch. Broken sword doesnt do any difference ? I dont remember. IIRC they can still impale you after their sword breaks, but only if they were at least once primed for a stab before the sword was broken. Did I? I'm not sure what was going on there, sorry. Maybe I was just looking for full lobbies, but I don't quite remember now. It's been quite a while since I've played so I was using silver to get back up to speed. No worries. I think I may have remembered - was it a lobby full of infiltrators? I remember at least once I bailed a lobby because I was a squishy kit and everyone else had cloak, and I didn't feel like switching kits around to avoid soaking up all the enemy fire.

I wonder if s/he is any relation to revan cat? Whenever I drop into their game it's a race to see who can leave the fastest. I dunno Crash, you were pretty fast dropping from my alt's Silver lobby yesterday!
Was it my Destroyer/CSMG-1 build? Was trying to finish out SMG challenge. Doesn't work too well on him with 5b (15% firing rate) vs. 5a (15% Mag). Blink and it's empty. Next time ...

CageyVet is apparently still around, and still bailing lobbies when they see people/loadouts they don't like. Some things never change. Ha! I bailed his lobby 4 times yesterday. He in turn bailed after joining a GiP I was in, three different games. It is a funny thing... Later I curried his team to extraction after joining in wave 4, ended up outscoring him by 50k (SI/M98 Widow) - that post-match lobby was gone before I got there, lightning exit from the CageyVet (AIU/BW) lmao. I actually ran in him again that same evening. He dropped into my match, burned all his revives, and left. Then, he bailed his own lobby four or five more times when I dropped in. Funny stuff.

Have you tried disabling Synapse and seeing if that changes anything? The reason I ask is that I've heard of Synapse crashing Warframe in the same way you're describing here with ME3.

Even on first launch, before starting the intro mission? If so, then I'm just dumb, but I swear I triple-checked beforehand. I believe so but it was a long time ago for me so I can't be certain. But it is highly unlikely for me to play anything with default keybindings (or other adjusted settings). If I start the game now and then opt to create a new pilot it will let me do so and then start the intro mission and I believe at first launch the pilot option wasn't there (since you don't have one yet) but I think the settings options was there right from the beginning at the launch screen and the game wants you to press 'space' (or go to the settings) before starting anything. But like I said... I can't be 100% certain, somebody totally new would have to check that I guess. Yeah, this is more of a "me" problem, to be honest. It stems from way back in prehistoric times, when I first tried out the original DOOM on a big square-ish rock that had the numbers "386" scraped on the side. Squatting there in my cave, draped in pelts, I played around with key configs to find something comfortable. Instead of the default WASD, I came up with my own custom configuration that I ended up getting used to. Ever since then, it's been impossible for me to comfortably use the default WASD layout.

Regack is right, the Retaliation fix isn't necessary unless you're actually affected by it, but it's something I personally would preemptively apply to any new install. Technically, you can ignore it if it's not affecting you.
Also: I realized that one of my recommendations was redundant, since using the mod manager to install the DLC bypass should also automatically enable the chat.
As for the innate Crusader delay, it's noticeably worse on PC than console when left unpatched, since IIRC it's one of those things that's more noticeable the higher your FPS is. Speaking of, I wonder if they managed to unlink all the FPS-dependent game mechanics in the remastered edition?

If anyone's looking for the newbie's quick and dirty manifest helper: UnlockAllMPCards UnlockAllMPKits GrantMPCredits 1000000000 Buy packs til everything's unlocked, then apply these two after every match and you'll never have to buy packs again: GiveAllMatchConsumables GiveMPConsumables 255 This achieves the same ends, but UnlokAllMPCards and UnlockAllMPKits skips some of the pack-clicking grind by unlocking all kits fully, and all guns/mods/gear at level 1. Edit: Don't forget to enable chat, and apply the Crusader fix. Those + an auto-buy thingy are available on the N7 Squad's QoL page here: www.n7squad.com/quality-of-lifeEdit 2: You may want to preemptively apply the Retaliation fix as well.

Yeah, I got my keybinds all set up once I was in the fort thingy, but as far as I could tell, there was no way to set them up ahead of time before starting the intro mission. Seemed like a weird design choice to me. You should be able to configure your settings right away after launching. At the title screen there is an option in the right lower corner to go into the settings or change the pilot. Even on first launch, before starting the intro mission? If so, then I'm just dumb, but I swear I triple-checked beforehand.

Edit: I ran into some enemies, tried to esc/pause to edit mouse sensitivity, and the enemies kept attacking me while I was in the menus. IDon'tKnowWhatIExpected.gif Edit 2: At least my not-Avenger is deadly on full-auto Hmm, I guess server timeout would be a problem. Yes, the game is aggressive with timeout kicking. Almost as if they knew the limitations of their server coding
And wouldn't same happen in, say, ME3 MP (the getting attacked part)?
But to be serious: You can do keybind settings from the Fort. Or if you want to tune in-game, I suggest starting one of the campaign missions solo, then doing it from there. In fact, I suggest playing the entire campaign solo. Playing with a group there is much faster, but would be frustrating for a new player.
IMO, the actual gameplay is terrific. The story is ... okay (not great, not awful). Your character is a bit of a dud, but some of the NPC's are actually entertaining. They solved most of the games early issues, so most of the complaints (err, reviews) you read are outdated and don't apply. Where it falls down, IMO, is the poor structuring of the grind that is end-game. And you'll find that the variety of missions/javelins/enemies/maps is more limited such that you likely won't be hooked ala ME3 MP.

Update from BroJo: eng59land - fixed Reaper (requires 1 husk point to complete) LesDyxic - fixed Spectre (requires 1 in game medal to complete) caesar233 - fixed combat (requires 1 grenade point to complete) Boatinhovic111 - he says your profile is private, and he's not sure which one is stuck, would you mind telling me so I can pass it on? Whoops sorry, I made it public. My profile is this one, on PC. For some reason I have a PS3 one too, but I never owned the game on that platform. I'll let him know, thanks. Edit: Wait, which challenge needs fixing though?

Follow up post as an FYI - I've passed along the info for caesar233, eng59land, Boatinhovic111, and LesDyxic (from the linked EA Help post) to BroJo. I'll let you all know if/when he says anything. I was waiting to see if anyone else was going to add their info but I'll assume this is it for now.

I'm thinking the problem might be related to the fact that I played a game with someone who was cheating. I threw a few grenades and it completed my grenade requirement of Combat Mastery which at the start of that one mission was very low. I got the same bug on several challenges back in 2019, even now they're still stuck. OK, he says he can help - would anyone affected mind adding your IGN and platform below, and then I'll pass the info on to him. Nice of him to take it on (and you for passing on). I don't need it, but I did see another guy in the EA answers thread who has same(?) issue. Would it be out of line to pass that on to him as well? I m not familiar with fixing stuck challenge, but i would bet it ll help to add what s stuck ? it's Reaper Mastery to be more precise OK, bumping/quoting just to make sure I have the info for everyone present currently affected and interested in getting it fixed. Anyone else? Caeser, Boatin, your platforms and IGNs?

Outriders update: Guess I won't try it out after all. I DLed the demo in Steam, but the whole account thing is super funky. I have an account from before the account transition thing they had, but it won't let me log in or link the old and new ones properly. I also can't create a new one in the new system with the same email, and none of the account recovery stuff is working. Bummer because it looks fun. Maybe I'll bang my head against this particular technical wall some day further down the line when I have more time to kill.

Okay, so, there's apparently no way to customize my keybinds until I'm already into the tutorial mission, and then when I take too long customizing things in the menus, I get kicked out of the mission for inactivity. LOL really? Not a great start but oh well. Edit: I ran into some enemies, tried to esc/pause to edit mouse sensitivity, and the enemies kept attacking me while I was in the menus. IDon'tKnowWhatIExpected.gif Edit 2: At least my not-Avenger is deadly on full-auto So, it's going really well then? If by "going really well" you mean "regretting my purchase", then yes definitely. Everything's set up so weird. It's still early days but it really feels like they had an internal conversation that went more or less like, "Hey, you know Destiny? Let's try to take our thing and try to make it into that thing."

It's kinda funny but I'm actually thinking of throwing 10 bucks or whatever at a copy this weekend to see if it's any fun.
