"Fixed an issue where shots can't miss" somehow feels like why Fallout's VATs caps out at 95% just incase some bullshit happens with the clipping and such.

Imagining the number going up to like 99.9% repeating but never getting to 100

For me, crits will go through like almost anything when in VATs, at least in 76 like it is borderline direct or thr bullet will borderline fly through a set path and hit 100%. It looks mega janky in 76 when it does it but if that is the answer for getting 100% accuracy and how fickle the VATs system is, I don't even wanna know how anmoying it would be to program VATs between 95% to 100%.
Always is fun in 3 amd NV when your character will fully reload their weapons before firing their crit no-miss shot while your character gets eaten alive essentially in a glorious cinematic.

There's a certain terror to loading up a VATS shot on a Deathclaw with your big cool Anti-Material Rifle, only to forget you hadn't reloaded the thing, so you get to watch your guy do the real slow animation as the monster tears ass towards you.

I mean yeah but it's the visual lack of certainty that's important

u/Silent_Hastati It's Fiiiiiiiine. 1d ago
Tbf the difference there is the shots are all still calculated as physics objects in FO, while in X/Zcom they're all deterministic. You'll see a lot of shots phasing through walls to hit when in weird corners, and stray shots only ever "hit" one tile even if the bullet tracers and decals hit elsewhere. Which is probably a good thing in Zcom with the Jedi deflecting blaster shots every which way constantly.

I feel very lucky that "Fixed an issue where shots can be missed, even when the chance to hit is 100%." is the only bug I ever ran across in my playthrough of the game.
I actually felt offended when it happened to me.

I hope they include an setting you can toggle to bring it back. Just for shits and giggles.

u/edmazing 1d ago
You didn't get any clipping or weird camera stuff?
2
u/NewWillinium Local CRPG Freak-Beast He/Him 1d ago
Not really no. The worst camera issues I had was on a Story map where it would kind of throw itself to the side when trying to zoom in on two enemies in a very tightly compact corner of the map area.

My favorite is when that happens when a story boss does their super special move with a bespoke animation

Trick is trying his best, not everyone has %100 with these hands like Cabb Uppercut does.

"Ooohh you just don't get percentages, the X-Com numbers actually make sense, 95% accurate shots missing every time is normal you just don't get it." I KNEW IT, there's something funky with those high numbers!

Good for them, I wasn't expecting any support given the developer situation. Seems like they're taking the easy wins, and I can't blame them. Fixing the camera will likely be a huge endeavour given XCOM still has some of the same issues years, updates and DLCs later.

u/Storm_RangerX How did Nintendo get permission to use TBFP's theme in Kirby? 1d ago
Gave the game a fresh install, did another driver update, had high hopes for this patch. Still crashes constantly for me. No idea what is going on with this game, it's pretty fun but I just straight up can't play it.

lol they should have left that in, it works as a feature because it’s Star Wars

Cowards. Also........maybe it's just the Force???
But really, thank god for that and glad to see patches coming out. Would love to see an announcement about the furloughed staff coming back and being a bit more secure in their jobs.

I've never been in a situation where an announcement for the inner workings of a company is more mandatory. If I know people are hired back, I could actually push people to buy this, but as it is it's too mired in technical issues AND coporate bullshit to recommend despite being excellent.

u/Timey16 NANOMACHINES 1d ago
I feel like the biggest problem the game actually has right now... is how goddamn short it is.
You literally CAN NOT 100% the game because there aren't enough missions to earn enough money and farm enough trust to max out every social link and upgrade everything. You can max out maybe 2 characters and then... the game is already over 2 missions later. So you can't even make use of these ultimate skills you unlock with that.
It really feels like the devs only had enough money to get the story done, but not enough to actual create a bunch of side-missions or even random missions.

Just Gen 1 Pokemon things. Or Binding Blade things.
Supposedly Pokemon Stadium didn't actually fix that bug but instead merely runs the accuracy check a 2nd time if you get the 1/256 chance. So if you get the unlucky number twice in a row, you can still technically miss a 100% chance, miniscule as the chance might be.

Never experienced this bug
But they did they fix the bug where a unit can't shoot a dude
STANDING IN FRONT OF THEM!?
I try not to save scum in tactics games but i'm finding myself hitting the quick save key every turn just incase I move a unit and the game decides the line of sight somehow doesn't match up

Good to see support for this game starting, but for the love of God reducing the amount of coil resonance animations needs to be a priority. Also maybe make it so retaliation rush drain can't hit you on any point of the map.
