Starfield has been cracked

I can hear it

Stars are there...

We're ready to party, we're ready

On Linux, you'll want to install figlet and toilet (both available in the debian repos)

Alternatively you've got this online frontend

If you really want to get weird with it you can also play any video in ascii art through libcaca and mplayer. Looks like this

it's typically just a kind of pixel art with monospaced fonts¹. any characters you see that's not typically shown on your keyboard (e.g a filled square) can be found in a character selection program in your OS. anything else related to texts, templating and line breaks you can probably find a program somewhere on places like crates.io or gitlab or write something of your own without much trouble.

¹ a monospaced font is a font where every letter and character has the same spacing from each other, and are the easiest to do ascii art. (ascii is just one character table, but you can also gather unicode chars all you want)

The music in the installers is the best part about installing cracks

The track included in the Rune installer for Starfield was actually a banger

I bopped to that shit for ages.

Chiptune/tracker/keygen music will all hold a special place in my heart.

It can barely run on a gtx1070 man what kind of black magic do you expect a hacker to cast to make it run on a Switch

And also, the "early access" is just a way to get people to pay more for the game in the first week.

By all reasonable standards, the game has been fully released.

"Pre-ordering piracy"... What does that even mean?

Bethesda the publisher does things differently than Bethesda the developer.

As a dev, they know their modding communities keep their games alive long, long past their expiration dates and will fuck with them as little as they possibly can - this takes them from games to household names to legends that everyone knows.

As a publisher pushing products that aren't intended to be modded, they drink the koolaid.

WTF is/was this comment? It's killing me lol

Yes, that would be terrible for them to be bought by somebody like MS.

You forgot Fallout76 and their own shitty launcher, well and the fact that Microsoft bought them already...

My only beef with them is their complete disregard for QA but, in the end, they're right.

We'll do it for them.

Well, and watering down the social commentary in their Fallouts to an absurd degree.

Can't wait for Fallout 5 to say "AKSHUALLY, it was all China's fault and capitalism is based and Vault Tec was justified. Join the Brotherhood or die, trash."

Triangle For Enthusiastic Yes Square For Nod Silently

As a company, they aren't assholes

It's just locker room sexual assault

Yes. Paid mods never existed.

I think I'd rather play something I enjoy instead.

I found an optimized ini file on nexusmods that has the game running real well and still looking pretty good. Good lord though yeah the performance is awful.

I have to applaud Bethesda for this decision, it is something that is very nice for the end user.

Doom Eternal has Denuvo.

You can just click the checkbox for "Copy crack to install directory" to get the installer to do everything for you.

I'm not sure why that isn't the default.

There is no "play 5 days early". The game launched on 1st of September. But those who can't afford to shell out 100 Euros have to wait 5 more days. Microsoft did the same bullshit with Forza. I didn't like it back then, I won't like it now.

Why would you want to play a Bethesda game 5 days early? The best time is several months after release, when the community has had time to fix the bugs.

Can confirm. Started playing this morning.

Which GPU did you get?

I have gamepass ultimate and it says I can’t play till the 6th

Like have you seen hw prices lately? The prices of these class of card simply crashed through the ground. 1070 are very cheap, the rx470-480 is barely sellable trash. A lot of time had passed since the 10series...

Adults with jobs?

1070Ti

Or it's a consequence of the fact that all earlier windows 10 (non enterprise) versions are end of service.

I highly doubt it's done intentionally. 21H2 probably misses a feature or they just didn't care about 21H2 because why should they.

Yeah, I think it's probably having to do with how Wine/Lutris emulates the Windows version, that makes it think it's an older version. I'll try on a real Windows partition...

No overlays running, still crashes. I'm seeing quite a few people reporting this online, both with AMD and Nvidia, and of course Intel cards don't work at all on this game.

Devs: "it works fine on my machine". At this point games should just come with their own OSes. Or hardware. Hell, ship 'em like arcade boxes.

True. I guess I thought that because "ghost wire Tokyo" and "redfall" do. But makes sense for a game like starfield to not

Not necessairly (well, goodbye to Starfield Script Extender in that case). But I think it's more that Gamebryo can't integrate Denuvo lol

No, Denuvo was first used in Sept. 2014 and Fallout 4 came out Nov. 2015.

What is IPT?

I got nothing to care about. I can nuke my drives at any time and not feel the loss. Plus Dauphong has never let me down.

Imagine cracking a game that's already on gog lmao

Which is DRM free...

As soon as anyone can download a game, all pirates can too (unless Denuvo)!

What if I liked FO3 and New Vegas and hated FO4?

Yeah! You also realize this is a group full of intelligent people right? It's the whole reason why i chose this instance.

Yup.

I was vaguely interested in Dark Souls for years, but every time I tried, I bounced right off it. I went through a cycle where every year or two, I would pirate one of the souls games, try it out, give up on it after an hour or so, and do it all over again the next time I was sufficiently compelled to give the series another shot. This happened until several years ago when I tried Dark Souls II, and for some reason it finally clicked. I played my pirated copy of Dark Souls II for about 10 hours, before a random crash corrupted my save file.

After that happened, I immediately bought the game on Steam and proceeded to play it for the next month and a half, until I eventually beat it. I've since purchased every souls game plus Elden Ring on Steam, and recently imported a copy of Bloodborne GOTY edition after spending $700 on an exploitable PS5, just so I could play it at 60FPS. None of these legitimate purchases would have ever happened if I hadn't been able to repeatedly pirate Dark Souls for about five years.

I don't think piracy is bad lol i do think mega corporate publishers have bad practices for sure. Like cool, the one i worked for is publicly traded. Awesome. Every action is greed motivated. I hate that.

Every time i loose hope in games i just play undertale and ignore the world. >.>

I've thought about this. I think that happened was because of timelines, they released a super early build, fuckin producers.

It's not the worst thing for an early access game to be cracked, honestly. If the game is has more eyes, that's great. I am curious about what is out now however.

I am also curious about if the cracked version can be updated with content once the game goes live. Like i have no idea when that is or if it has already happened.

Did you run into a case where a RX5700 was detected as unsupported?

Because it's a supported copy that I know is getting the latest patches and I'm already paying for it...? Also, as long as I can transfer save files, I could use them down the line on a sale copy on Steam for Steam Deck or whatever else.

I just readed the rules wtf . no link on a piracy sub . for me there is no interest in it if I have to research my torrent myself .

Name checks out
