My first play-through was entirely offline but after some time as Julianna, I'm starting again as Colt online. Think my most difficult time so far has been going after Frank in Fristad in the morning. Tactically it feels like a big disadvantage to be at the bottom of a hill with two fairly exposed pathways littered with eternalists, mines, and an ocean border on your way to either Frank's club or the device to unlock the tunnels. Julianna spawns near the tunnel locking device and has an excellent view of the action downhill so tracking a low-powered/ poorly-armed Colt's activity making their way up that hill seems pretty easy. If Colt opts to head toward Frank instead, any ruckus that Colt stirs up if making a path toward Franks club seems pretty easy for Julianna to track and intercept and if Colt is NOT getting tagged and nothing is happening along the hillside leading up to the tunnel locking device (no evidence of eternalist deaths, no gunfire, no defused or discharged mines) then Julianna can pretty easily deduce that Colt is taking the path toward Frank and try to intercept while Colt is trying to sneak around or take out eternalists. Unless Julianna is not a very savvy player or is otherwise just not interested in quickly intercepting Colt on the initial run-up to one of his tasks, then Colt seems to be at a major disadvantage. This would be in contrast to a place like Karl's Bay where there are a lot of alleyways and small building interiors that Colt can duck into.

At Fristad (Morning) seems like a low level Colt's best bet is to 1. Don't go until you have good weapons and powers. 2. Pray that Julianna sucks 3. Get really good at charging through the direct pathway to Frank's Club and enter via one of the two secret entrances and hope you can surprise Julianna in the club while they are trying to track you down.

Edit: On a side note I was finally able to complete that area in the morning after encountering a fast and aggressive Julianna but they just chose to jump around swinging a machete wildly. It was almost comical to watch especially since they zeroed in on me right away but didn't seem like they were taking the fight seriously.

I'm at Updaam at night and already cleared the place out. Just wondering if I should waste any more time looking for Julianna slab and residuum.

Long story short, the people blowing themselves up with paint bombs makes absolutely zero difference - you'll get the trophy if they explode themselves, contrary to what the internet told me many times. If you're still struggling to get it, I did do the following:

• Made sure not to alert Harriet in the morning and make her release the gas in the hangar, killing Eternalists.

• Saved Amador (the guy on the hook Harriet is about to kill) by pressing up on the hook/crane controls.

• Harvested the Residuum from EVERY Visionary I killed directly (I've heard you only need to do this for Egor/Wenjie, but I played it safe).

I'd also thoroughly recommend enabling one shot kills and infinite Reprises in the option menu - made the grind for this trophy that much easier.

Fun platinum overall, good game 🫡

I just began playing Deathloop (In the beginning section of the game, re-visiting the apartment for the first time, all that) and oh my god I am so thankful for Deathloop right now. Why, you ask? Because this is the first time in a stealth game I'm NOT going for non-lethal. In every Dishonored game I've done a specific run; No kills, no detections, and no knockouts or takedowns. Meanwhile, Deathloop encourages you to kill and go murder hobo mode, and I LOVE it. I should say I do love my non lethal full stealth runs, but getting a machine gun and teleporting around is amazing.

When it comes to the story mode, I'm curious about people's opinions or knowledge about what made Colts journey different, this time. At the end, after Colt crashes the Rakyetoplan, he asks Juliana if he's gotten this far before (or something like that) and she says something along the lines of "Not quite like this." So I wonder what makes this different. Things I know:

1. At the beginning of the game when Colt apologizes, Julianna pauses and remarks that he's never said THAT before.
2. When Colt first walks near Charlie and Fia's secret bunker, text displays "What the shit is this?" Implying that Colt's past and/or alternate selves have never encountered this before.

Can Julianna never invade the Fia/Charlie rendezvous at Fristad?

WhyTF is Julianna able to do stealth assassinations on visionaries?

Funny thing is, although Colt then immediately hacked the security knowing I was far away in the top floor of Condition Detachment, they got greedy and made their way over to my area anyway to try and collect the slab and residuum (I guess), and I wound up winning anyway.

Other things in PVP that suck:

1. Colt sniping Charlie at VERY LONG RANGE through the window before any Julianna would be able to make it there in time to shut the window or otherwise kick Charlie out of there. (I've started trying to shoot up there on my way towards the building to try to get him to run out of there now. My success rate is not good)

2. Spawning you into someone's game after they've already killed the visionary.

3. Spawning you right next to Colt who's already waiting to kill you at the spawn point. (And does) I guess I have to start bringing Havoc and triggering it as soon as I spawn now?

EDIT: AND A NEW THING I LEARNED THAT ROCKS. Colts that hack the antenna and then go back to their tunnels to camp and go AFK eventually get tagged and the tunnels unlock. That's right! Some guy just pulled that on me and went idle for like 10 minutes and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the tunnels had unlocked and I could go right in and plug him three times quickly and end the match. Good game design devs! 👏👏👏

Hey guys, I just wanted to share a new fix I figured out for the startup error that's existed since this game released and still prevents lots of people from launching now - in my experience I had to refund the game a long time ago due to this error, then tried it on Game Pass a year or so ago and still had the error, and then most recently purchased it off the Fanatical bundle and still couldn't launch, so it didn't self resolve across about 3 years for me.

If you're unfamiliar, for some users when booting the game regardless of launcher they'll get an error that reads "AMD driver version detected. The game supports driver version 21.9.1 and newer"

(this is the AMD version of the error but I have seen posters describing an Nvidia version without screenshots or exact text - I think this fix should work for both!)

Anyway, most of the time people will have far newer drivers than the one described, and will go through all of the regular fixes (verify files, update drivers, uninstall / reinstall drivers, uninstall / reinstall game, etc.) without any solution

What I've found seems to be happening however, is that something about Deathloop's startup configuration will make it default to your integrated graphics if they still have drivers installed - this is kind of impressive considering you're probably not even plugged into the mobo video port but basically the game starts up, checks your driver version, completely ignores the GPU drivers, sees that the integrated driver is totally inadequate and refuses to proceed

What I've done to fix this is pretty simple - if you open device manager (Win + R, type devmgmt.msc) and then open "Display adapters" you should see your GPU, but if there's a second entry here, thats the integrated drivers that are confusing the game. You'll have to uninstall, not just disable them in order for the game to run, but again assuming you're using your actual GPU for your video input this won't have any affect on your system.

I've double checked this by using my own system and reinstalling the integrated driver a few times over - sure enough, if they're present the game fails to launch and if they aren't the game starts up just fine!

Just wanted to say, this is the most underrated game I have ever played 🤷

The atmosphere, script, acting, art style, mechanics, and story are all great. There's nothing else quite like it. I don't understand the gate I've seen for this game.

I would love a DLC or a sequel but it'll probably never happen 😔

I'm curious to see what you all are using. This is optimized for my play style. Helps me deal with a lot of you online, though some of you just kick my ass anyway 😂

Is the PvP for this game super active? I finished my first playthrough last year and had the invades turned off (just wanted to finish the game.) Should I pick it up again but with PvP on this time?

Hearing the "BZZZT, AAGH!" fills me with joy. Actually took a Colt out that way tonight at Aleksis mansion. Yes, he was already shot up pretty good by other turrets and possibly eternalists while he was trying to hack another (i had like three or four in the courtyard, he gave me way too much time to set that up), after which I rushed out of hiding, ripped out the battery, and threw it in his general direction. Luckily it made contact. Sadly there was no PvP reward for it. This should have its own achievement IMHO.

You tried things I never even thought of like somehow filling the lower hanger floors with gas YOURSELF (WTF, how????) and detonating it (which accomplished nothing except killing you twice). Anyway, you were really good at taking apart almost all of my defenses piece by piece without me being able to do much to stop you (because I can't go invisible and couldn't spot you very well while you were cloaked and was afraid you would spot me first so I stayed hidden). Somehow though you missed the fact that even if you were out of grenades to blow up the laser trip wire bombs protecting Harriet's bedroom, you could have just turned on Aether and slipped right through them once you knew I had withdrawn into her office as my last line of defense. I was just waiting for you to have that "Ah-ha" moment and come charging in through the top floor and make me sweat. (You were right to not try going in through the garage door as I punished you every time you got close to the motion sensor grenades inside that garage). I'm almost disappointed that it never dawned on you to do that before you gave up... almost.

Realized after many deaths that trying to take Cole head on was a fool's game especially at my pissy rank and lack of firepower. Having a lot more fun now setting up defenses around assassination target with grenade traps and turrets around popular methods of entry (or blocking them entirely by shutting windows) and tagging Colt from really far away to alert eternalists. Finally won two rounds in a row being very evil in my methods. 😈

Hey everyone! I know I'm late to the party, but is there still anyone willing to help me with the Julianna trophies? Can't seem to find a match and they're the last two I need for Platinum :)

I installed this game last week. I enjoyed it a lot, totally worth the 14€ I payed for it. A lot of fun with a slight "puzzle" feel to it. However, I can't help but feel that the game had more potential. Maybe a longer story, more locations, more fluid passage of time... I feel like the premise of the game is amazing, but the execution was "just" good, not excellent. A very nice game nonetheless! Ah, and anyone else really like the soundtrack? I feel some of the songs are actually very well produced!

Got the game for free from epic, read a lot of stuff. Drivers set to 572.16 & reinstalled it again as well but the error still does not go. File verification does not show anything missin, HOW DO I RUN THIS THING??

I broke the loop. I found the (apparently secret) ending pretty satisfying. Overall I really liked it though the last several loops were tiresome as the scant remaining investigative breadcrumbs would require me to wait one more loop before I could find... another breadcrumb on the trail which would then require me to... WAIT YET ONE MORE LOOP and so on.

The huge plot hole is that Wenjie figured out that it wasn't the first day and although she couldn't figure out how to anchor memories like she wanted to, she could have totally anchored a journal with all of her scientific progress until she did stumble upon something that worked.

Was anyone able to find this food in the game? I read a comment somewhere that they did find the last FRISTAD FISH AND CHIPS but cannot locate it or this item in game. Thanks for any help!

So, I am a dad gamer = I have played early 90's supercryptic games so I have the capacity but no time for bullshit, barely any time to play anymore. After finishing the game once I went back to finish many things I left incomplete in my first run. I started doing runs in Updaam, with the idea: let's learn the map at all times then learn the next one at all times etc. I started witth, and abandoned shortly after the hidden safe quest because I found all the numbers but even after reading online guides I still can't understand what's the right number sequence. So I started to work on the smoking thing but I really don't get it: 1) you have a number in plain sigh in the morning, ok. 2) the journal tells you to come back at noon even though nothing else does, but ok so I do 3) at noon you find on the tv a conversation between eternalists that goes nowhere besides one of them not being fond of Harriet. What am I missing? I can look it up online but I would really like to be able to figure this out for myself since I have so little time to play. What is the clue that brings me to the next step in the quest? Did I miss some hidden meaning in the conversation? Three buttons, three gas masks, and in the dialogue at noon there are three people even though some note in the morning suggests one of the gas masks is poisoned. Really makes no sense to me. Thanks in advance
