Hi guys,

i've just bought this game and everything was fine (excepted micro freeze during the first cinematic) but when it was time for me to play, the game seemed to be running at 25fps.

I play on a ultrawide monitor (3440x1440) with v-sync activated and recent drivers.
CPU : i7 8700k not overlocked
GPU : MSI 2080 RTX Gaming Trio
Ram : 16Go 3200mhz

Installed on a SSD.

The only improvement I had was when I turned shadows from very high to off.
But I just want to play it at max spec.

Can you tell me what is happening with this game seriously ?
Thank you !

Yes ! I found a solution for my problem. Disable the core 0 affinity in windows task manager... but it has to be done every time the game is launched :(

[3:46 AM] steffire: @RevReborN
I just had a discussion with Synergies Mod Author 'Salan' directly on your question: Mythics were disabled from having Sockets for balance reasons. Soul Crafting is the replacement:

You need to soul craft each piece instead.. that was meant to replace the extra sockets. If I remember right the sockets made it more difficult for the soul crafting equation
[1:38 AM] salan: I just looked thru the files for the soulcrafting.. that was a soul stone an angelic soul and the item itself in the ember steps to soul craft it with specific attributes.
[1:41 AM] salan: Once you get your gear maxed out the content can still offer some challenge. I remember there was a time when you could have 5 sockets on a mythic as I hadn't restricted it. And the general feel and feedback was it broke the balance pretty bad.
[1:43 AM] salan: It also makes it more of a content drive advancement to a degree. Derinkuyu use to be a lot harder as well.. until the darkness falls got finished then that was made a lot easier to facilitate the farming.

[1:44 AM] salan: If they try to do darkness falls without soul crafted gear its designed to be extremely difficult to succeed. It forces you to use the DK and troll gear and upgrade it to truly get to the end of tier 1
[1:45 AM] salan: Basically your character stops leveling but your gear is just starting.
[1:46 AM] salan: You can also collect the DF commander gear from the over map but that is like the troll gear. Half sets. Although they do look pretty cool.

[3:47 AM] RevReborN: I see, Thanks in forefront.
So it was meant to balance those concrete items just to avoid being OP?
[3:49 AM] steffire: This info must've been on the deleted Synergies Forums as to the exact details of Players Feedback on this feature:

If used then give these types of mods top load order priority.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/200710/discussions/0/3428846977636554688/

As long as all data is "Unmodded" then this should be possible both ways otherwise just make characters in "Vanilla / Unmodded" then move their saves over to the Mod-Save Folder.

I even recommend creating new folders outside and moving copies of saves into them in case something goes wrong with the loaded saves in either modded or vanilla.

Is there a better likelihood of item drops suited to one's current class or is it totally random? Like as a berserker am I more likely to have shields and melee weapons drop and as an Outlander I'm more likely to have guns drop?

steffire at 10:48 AM
@MagenZion The Class affects Item Rewards from Quests otherwise I've gotten plenty of other Class Items despite playing as another.
When that happens just throw them into the Shared Stash and even create "Bank" characters (use their personal Stash) if the Shared Stash fills up.
That will save on farming with other classes since the items would have dropped already, building up a useful collection of items.

MagenZion at 10:49 AM
@steffire Thanks for the info. I kinda wish it was like Anthem (I know I know) where it does mostly give you items for your class. The one thing I felt was really nice in Anthem.
I mean for Frontiers of course.

steffire at 10:52 AM
@MagenZion That is a reasonable request. TL2 and 1 were created under a development time crunch so it's amazing we even got the quality we see in them. As a result they are lacking in a few useful features such as "Class specific Drops". Fortunately Frontiers will continue development even after it's official release and hopefully quality of life features will become more prevalent in the future.

From Discord:

@Nullend💤
Your best bet is to use the (guaranteed to appear at the exit of the dungeon) Enchanter from the Act 3 Oasis (Hidden Dungeon: Collect 4 big map embers and place them into their map sockets which will unlock the oasis dungeon in the Sundered Battlefield).
Unlike other Enchanters, the oasis vendor does not disappear after buying his enchants and his max of 2 enchants are always guaranteed to be "maximum dice roll" which appears as a bright flash of light (when an enchant is considered "powerful" it's normally a random mid-low uneven result chance from other enchanters).

@steffire
renew world and farm gorge in act 3 - 2nd part of quest line, for the enchanters. it's a very small map that you can go fast trough and has a higer chance of having a enchanter there.

May have to restart Steam, start game in Admin mode, make exceptions in security apps or reinstall the game.

RandallLinux at 7:46 PM
should still be moddable

shacrosis at 7:46 PM
how

RandallLinux at 7:47 PM
when you launch it does the mod launcher come up? if not look in the game folder for the modlauncher executable
the drm-free version of tl2 installs with both versions of the executable in the menu, the steam version just defaults to the modlauncher version

shacrosis at 7:49 PM
:open_mouth: found the mod launcher thanks

RandallLinux at 7:50 PM
yep

steffire at 7:58 PM
@RandallLinux Big Thanks! @shacrosis Is there a mod folder appearing now?

shacrosis at 8:14 PM
yea once i launched the modlauncher it created one
and can use mods from there
