I hope y'all are doing well.
Rockstar updated GTA5 and it quit working. I'm sure it needs a new scripthook for the mods i've installed. Why can't they just leave the single player people alone if they ain't gonna add nothing new to that mode?
Same thing happens with Bethesda's paid mod updates. Or it used to, these days I don't know. Most of your foundational, non-texture mods require script extensions that allow them to work on an engine level. Technically this can get you all the way down to the core. But every single game update shuffles memory entries that break the whole thing. Simple fix, just a few lines adapted after peeping the new data. But then all of the mods relying on the old version ALSO have to be updated to work with the new script extender.
It's a mess, and really doesn't have to be that way. It just requires some changes with how updates are compiled AFAICS. Fixes have been attempted with varying degrees of success. I think they squashed it with Skyrim SE. Stuff that acts a go-between for different stuff that has or hasn't been updated. Basically automatically fudging it. There's no reason it can't actually work, other than a small code mismatch. But personally I just keep the exe backed up and tell steam not to update unless run from the launcher, which bypasses the script addons anyway, so it's never happening. So many mods break every time I let an update through. It takes a couple of hours to fix. And that's assuming all of the authors have caught on and updated... if the author isn't around anymore that may just be the death of that mod.
Pisses me right off, because I don't care about paid mods and the whole thing really just says more than I wish I knew about the direction they're headed in. You can't say you support the modding community when your update scheme discourages it on a base level... especially when it's pretty much exclusively so you can sell paywalled mods. But I digress.
I'm just glad that the Metro spiders look different enough from actual spiders.
I have a mild-ish
'well depends,sometimes its worse' arachnophobia and if they are realistic enough in games it makes me feel uncomfortable.
Not that I liked that part in Metro but at least it did not trigger my issue.
For example those black Arachnomorphs in Witcher 3 Blood&Wine did bother me so I tried to avoid them if possible.
Ahaha, I'm the opposite. Giant fictional spiders are hard nope for me. Hate em. Reptile brain kicks on and says it's gotta go. Real spiders apparently don't concern me enough. I've been bitten by so many spiders in my life, and totally avoided by countless more that I tend to leave them be. Palmetto bugs are a different story. Those things are flying 2-3" long abominations of chitin and flesh. Actually that reminds me... Radroaches actually make me pretty jumpy compared to most real-life bugs
Yet Ubisoft and Steam work fine at this resolution and will actually detect installed games............
