Some examples would be third person shooters, Dead Space and the Souls series. The problem with this camera system is that they tend to get stuck on environmental objects, either a wall blocking vision of the character or being unable to view large enemies within the frame.
I thought it's a bug on disk (because FCP saves every action that we made), so I moved footage and library to second external SSD, and the problem disapeared, but only for a while. After few hours, FPC freezes again on second disk.

None of these trouble shooting ideas actually worked for me. So I figured the adjuster got stuck, so I tapped the phone on a hard surface on both sides and the camera adjuster came unstuck and it focuses perfectly now... one last idea before you pay to have it "fixed"
Unfortunately, Gears Tactics doesn't exist in a vacuum. It is entering the world at a moment when most people are stuck at home, clamoring for things to hold their attention as each day melds into the next and boredom skulks, waiting to pounce at any moment and consume our minds with malaise. The world has shifted. While some people have lost their jobs and income, others are getting sick and dying. It changes the way we look at things.
Gears Tactics takes place 12 years before the events of Gears of War, closer to the beginning the war between humans and the brutish subterranean race of Locusts. While the Gears of War series has mostly stuck to third-person action where cover awareness, speed, and accuracy are paramount to victory, Gears Tactics slows things way down for an overhead tactics approach to this battle for humanity.
In Gears Tactics, characters move one at a time and can take three actions per turn, which includes things like moving, shooting at enemies when they're in range and in sight, throwing the occasional grenade to turn Locusts into meat piles, or setting sights on a specific location to shoot at any enemy that moves through it on their turn (an action called overwatch). While the main Gears of War games are fast and flashy, Tactics requires you to slow down, assess your own positions and enemy positions, and figure out what to do so you can tear through enemies as quickly and efficiently as possible without getting overwhelmed yourself.
At the beginning, the gameplay is mind-numbing with its deliberate pace and lack of variety. As the game goes on and you collect more gear to make your fighters more powerful and level them up with new abilities, it starts to come together. No, there isn't a ton of enemy variety throughout the game, and almost all the levels blend together in my brain. But the action gets more exciting as you chain together more and more abilities to keep the pain train rolling longer and longer.
The world feels stuck and gloomy and I don't want to lean into that. I want to be transported somewhere fun and exhilarating. I want to drive fast cars or pilot planes at top speed, or adventure across huge landscapes with swords and magic and mythical monsters, or run and jump through engaging platformers.
It's another title to use Feral Interactive's new launcher system and it's quite nice. I love any game that allows me to pick resolution, and what monitor before it launches and tries deciding it all for me and screwing itself up. Although, that's not really an issue for me now I'm on a single monitor, but for people using more than one monitor it's going to help a lot.The auto detect graphical settings sets everything to the lowest it can, even with my 980ti so I had to fiddle about with all that at the start. That was slightly annoying, but not a major issue as they do have a "preset" option, so I cranked it up to High.We seem to only have either disabled, or FXAA for anti aliasing options. FXAA looks pretty bad, so I'm not too happy about it. I know Windows has MSAA, so I would have liked that option on Linux even if it hit performance more, it would still look a lot better. See how it looks on High at 1920x1080 below:You can clearly see jagged edges all over my soldier, not looking good at all.2560x1440This has been giving me between 35-55FPS which isn't too bad, but quite a bit lower than I expected for my card.The first time I fired a weapon the game stuttered so badly it basically skipped the entire firing sequence, and jumped to a dead Advent soldier on the floor. I heard it all happen, but didn't get to see it which was disappointing for sure. It seems to happen each time a new type of weapon is fired, this is a common issue with Unreal Engine games (Storm United and Borderlands 2 both suffer from it). I really do hope Feral manage to nail this issue down, as it's quite concerning as you miss a fair bit of action. I won't spoil it (yet), but there's an incident with a grenade, and it became a three part slideshow.An issue that the Linux version seems to share with Windows is how long it takes for each turn to start, sometimes there are random pauses before anything happens, as if the game is loading and trying to catch up with itself. I've seen it happen for other reviews videos, so it's not a Linux issue. The game just doesn't seem to be optimised.Another issue (which is a game issue, and not Linux related) is the camera, and how terrible it is at times, here's a perfect example:Do you know what's going on? I don't. I mean I know someone died, but I didn't see shit. They really need auto rotation. They needed it in XCOM, and they need it here too.There is a bit of stutter when you're scrolling around, it's not too bad, but hopefully something that can be worked on.When you get back to your base, the performance goes down even more. I was getting 30FPS and below while viewing my base.1920x1080I decided to tone it down to 1920x1080 resolution to see what the difference was. There was zero difference on the base view, with it still struggling to hit 30FPS on High.During a mission the FPS at this resolution was a bit more acceptable between 40-70, but it does dip right down to 40 quite often. It's a little more acceptable, but still quite bad.I would definitely turn off the action camera, it's distracting and slows things down even more. This is also true on Windows, and I hated it in the first XCOM too.I turned the game down even further to Medium settings, but still keeping it at 1920x1080 (I refuse to game at lower than that on a 980ti). It's now properly acceptable hovering between 70-90+ FPS. If the AA options weren't so terrible, it would be slightly more enjoyable on Medium.I failed the first proper mission (the one after the tutorial) twice, so it's exactly what I expected. It's good to be back, it's damn good, but wow is the difficulty higher.Once you have played it for a while, if you quit the game entirely to the desktop and then re-load it, the stuttering is somewhat improved. This is usually down to cache issues (reloading it with stuff already loaded and ready), but I honestly don't care what's causing it and why it can't be done before the actual gameplay. The problem is, it just should be done before you play it as it gives a terrible impression.If you do come across this issue below, load a saved game from before you entered the mission and it fixed it for me.There's also the issue of the colour of the game, compare these images to the image at the top of the article. The shadows here are purple and surfaces are bright blue. Feral are aware and say it happens on Windows too, but they are waiting to hear from Firaxis if it's intentional or not. I really don't think it is (as it looks terrible and it's a completely different colour palette), but I will wait and see.The game also seems to pause when it doesn't have focus, which can be annoying at times.Ending thoughts: Performance really is a let down, as is the missing MSAA option. The time it takes parts of the turns to complete is frustratingly slow, as you wait for the game to realize something has happened. I will take another proper look at it after some patches, and when I have put more time into it. Honestly, for the moment I really would hold off and wait for some performance patches.The actual gameplay is good though, the performance is just all over the place.About the game (Official)
Would it be worth having one final conversation with Ben where you say that you are about to leave over this and so if he was serious about pursuing legal action against his kids, now is the time to do it if he wants you to be able to stay?
Something weird happened with my cursor. It's colored red and yellow, which I could care less about. But I can't move it sideways, when I try to, the view spins, I also can't zoom in or zoom out. I'm stuck in a close up position. The only other thing I can...
Most games that wear the Transformers moniker tend to either reside in the third-person shooter or hack and slash genre, however, developers Coatsink have taken influence from great tactic games such as XCOM and Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle to bring a different style of action to the franchise. Those familiar with the aforementioned games will instantly feel at home. Missions follow a similar pattern where you are required to either rid the area of enemies or reach a specified area. 2ff7e9595c
