Levels mean a fucking ton in this game, could be that. If you're even -1 level on the enemies you're fighting it'll feel nearly impossible. -2 levels might actually be impossible. And that's just raw character level, not even accounting for potential gear slots that are many, many levels out of date due to the rng nature of loot.
Game is pretty cool, but I can't get it to actually function properly right now. DX10 mode makes it crash 100% of the time about 10 minutes in, regardless of where I am or what I'm doing in game. DX9 mode doesn't crash, but every exploration map/dungeon is blurry/out of focus, like the camera is zoomed is focused on some random part of the map and everything else is just a complete haze. Can't even really tell what objects on the ground are.
Can't figure out what the issue is either. No combination of compatibility mode settings change anything, and I'm already on latest video drivers. I can't find a single random internet nerd complaining about this problem either, so so far it seems to be just me?
