The Very Best ME:A Screenshot Thread (with tips)

Hmm, I did swap out a couple Flickr ones because I realized after the fact that I uploaded the wrong version...some shots I have so many versions of. I'll upload it and then be like CRAP! after I realize I uploaded the wrong one. I also realized that my Bandicam shots don't have color profiles assigned to them, so while they looked great on my computer, when viewed on a web browser they looked way different. So I went through and assigned the sRGB color profile to each of them and re-uploaded. I can go through my old posts and check the links. 

I've noticed this too.  I can always see them the first time I view, but when coming back to the thread, some will have changed to the white square.  And then on another viewing, they're usually visable again.

Right now, her last post/screenshot is showing up as a white square for me...

EDIT:  The Cinematic Tools aren't working anymore?   I haven't patched my game yet...

Sadly, I already patched my game. From what folks were saying, the game wouldn't load unless you updated...but it might be avoided if you play off-line. I guess I'll use Ansel for now...hopefully the crashes it was causing me will be better. 

Also, my past posts should be good now. Those were the ones that I had to assign the sRGB color profile to in order to get them to display properly on the web browser. It was driving me nuts figuring out why my stuff online looked so much darker. 

I'll admit, I was so excited over the supposed improvements that I did jump the gun on updating, lol. 

And yeah, with Steam I've had many occasions of shouting and screaming because my game would ninja update...I haven't figured out a way to turn them off short of always staying off-line. As soon as I would go online for any reason, then they'd get me. 

Just opened Origin and clicked "Go Offline" and the big orange button changed from Update to Play - so it looks like we should be good to go. Haven't started the game yet - still eating my tea.

Doubt it will change anything, however I've seen people complain on all the platforms that they can't even start the game because they get an infinite black screen. I patched the game and I've started it without any issues prior to the NVIDIA driver update so I don't think I'll have any issues even after that, but someone mentioned that updating their driver fixed the black screen issue.

There are lots of fixes on reddit for people not being able to open the game after the patch. Anything from deleting the patch folder, deleting the exe, and getting Origin to redownload everything, to keeping the game offline. I expect part of it might have been corrupted patching because of the volume of server traffic as everyone tried to do it at once.

It's worth a shot. I forgot, you'll have to deal with those crashes again now you're back to using Ansel for freecam for a while. I hope it fixes it for you. And I hope hattiwatti has a bit of time on his hands to update the tools. The early stages of a game are the most frustrating for screenshotters, as patches come quite quickly and everything breaks so frequently.

Mods in DA:I were for the most part restricted to skin/hair/makeup and some new eye textures, and then material textures and colours for clothing, porting armour models from unique characters, and adding materials and blueprints to vendors' inventories. There may have been a few more, but those were the main type I saw.

It usually takes a little while to work out the file structure and how to get new files into the game. If it's possible, then I'd expect the first mods to be things that add new textures to the casual outfits, making the default Ryder skin textures available on another preset, maybe some hair options, that sort of thing. Probably edits to NPC makeup too.

You can already use cheat engine to give yourself credits and materials, and probably even augments although I haven't tried that - so that's not something that needs modding.

Keep an eye on hattiwatti's twitter, see if he says anything. I've sent a tweet to let him know, but he's a busy guy so it's not going to be his first priority: twitter.com/Hattiwatt1/with_replies

I also jumped the gun on updating the game, oops   too excited to see some quality eyes.

Shots from a few days ago:

Finally rolling out into Kadara.
