WTF Hello Games - Synthesis Sucks!

Recommended Posts

I try to get away from Visions i really do, Beyond was okay but Synthesis to me is just going backwards. They're trying to run before they can walk and the game suffers for it, i fired it up and flew my ship but before that it stuttered like f@#k and the texture pop was dreadful.

 

In the screenshot below you'd think i was on a barren planet but i'm not, in Visions you can see at greater distances but this trash it pops up right in front of you and i'm not even going that fast. Just dreadful, how can they release this sh*t? And don't get me started on the other issues, and these aren't knew issues either! Take away the fancy clothes and underneath it's nothing more than a tramp! :mad:

The top image is Synthesis using Vulkan and the bottom is Visions using the old Opengl. Yes it looks prettier but what's the point of that if it plays like a turd and the terrain objects aren't even in view until they smack you in the face? And yes the fps is 90+ in Vulkan above and 60+ in Opengl but there's eff all on screen in Synthesis! The middle one is Beyond 2.16, while better than Synthesis those plants just popped right in front of me, so again pretty poor. Probably suffering from CONSOLE-ITUS!

HG are obviously clueless, i made a base that took a while to get a nice layout to the point i put lights on my landing pads in each corner nice and neat. Now the idiots slap a f@#king electrical socket on the back which means i now have to run more f@#king wires to my landing pad. All i need now is a giant spider to make a nest in my base.

 

They stick the socket on the light but don't bother putting one on the gas extractor, apologies if i got the extractor name wrong. Jeez i could fill this forum with issues and i've sent HG numerous zendesk screenshots and here we are with many of the same issues and new ones to boot! Piece of sh*t, so back to Visions!!

 

And how many asteroids do we need in space, jeez! Thanks to monkeyman192 for at least giving modders the tool to make this game at least playable. If it wasn't for monkeyman192 i wouldn't be playing this game at all, i really wouldn't!

 

Rant over, unless i get a fanboy crying tears all over this rant! :laugh:

 

I watched a video of some guy scrapping his ship and buying extra slots, and he got to a point where it was costing 50 million for a slot, it's cheaper to buy a 48 slot hauler. Again this is all window dressing to hide the mess underneath! :ermm: :confused:

Heh yeah experiencing a lot of FPS loss aswell. Or whatever it is, patches of the surface looking like crap for a few seconds till it renders into what it is supposed to look like. Doesn't bother me that much though. It's much more annoying I was kinda happy I could buy extra inventory slots for my ship untill I found out that buying a single slot will cost me around 20 million. .... what's the point. xD

Yeah exactly, what's the point? But this is one of numerous issues with this game that has continued since release but covered up with a sticking plaster to distract the player from the problems this game has. :ermm: :ohmy: :confused:

Well i've already done ship resizes in Visions but you'll love this screenshot! What were they thinking, obviously devoid of thought! :ermm: :confused:

 

Yeah let's increase the ship sizes but not the main station! Obviously i reported this back when Beyond was released but guess what, it's still here! :mad:

My point is they're too busy trying to please everyone by releasing these free but broken updates. You only have to trawl the various forums to see how much is broken. I don't have the time to post all the one's i know about, thankfully a modder has made a station mod redesign that fixes that stupid oversight above as i've already got the mod in my mods list to try out (bribed him with candy). Another reason they need to release an official mod tool so us modders can fix their friggin game! :ohmy:

You take away all the eye candy from Beyond/Synthesis and it's still the same game underneath as Visions/Next and so on. You start on a planet, repair your ship, fly to new worlds, find multi-tools, ships, freighters, missions, build bases. farming and make a ton of money trading or killing pirates or raiding and that's pretty much it. It's all bells and whistles, it's still the same game with it's misdirection of hey look what we've added, yeah we've ruined your bases now by adding f@#king wires and s***........enjoy! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

 

I love and hate this game at the same time, i just wish they'd focus on fixing it, that's all i've asked them in zendesk but they don't seem to care! They said 297 fixes when Synthesis was released if i recall and that's not all of them, and this is 3 years since the game was released, maybe i should count all the bug fixes this game has had, it's easy enough as i have all the bug fixes listed in numerous text files and just need to average the lines in the text. I'm too scared to look. :ohmy: :laugh:

I can see us both tues night sitting in the pub drinking our sorrows ... you over how bad things are and me over how much stuff i got to try and mod lol

 

I've gone past the sorrows but when you think i have about 100 mods/tweaks running on Visions it doesn't bode well for Beyond/Synthesis. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

 

I've separated Beyond 2.16 from my Synthesis install and will start modding Beyond now as i always play and edit one game behind HG because they can't f@#k it up with patches etc! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

 

And i'll hold you to that beer young man, even though you never actually offered. :happy:

 

My landing pad anim' removal and ships facing outwards mod is already moved over and even works on Synthesis and i'm going to move my Visions RaYRoD Dynamic Space mod over to Beyond, that's quite a bit of work. And hopefully my fellow modder will release his station mod to the general public, although i have a beta already. :cool:

Modders fixing the game HG can't be *ssed to do themselves and thanks again to monkeyman192.....LEGEND! There wouldn't be mods without him.

 

A link to hosting site I thought I should leave in. Fairs fair as they say.
