Yeah, Mack / WAB (YT) remarked in his review how hard it is to see humanoid enemies in particular, because of the colour pallet.

Impossible with Game Pass version. Windows DRM makes Denuvo look like GOG by comparison. (In terms of locking shit down, not fucking up the game itself.) Can't use the WSGF patch or hex edit the exe yourself either, to fix the ultrawide problems.

Ahh shit, completely forgot about that, thanks! I guess this didn't make it into the new Win32 gaming model they've been promising. The Epic Store version should be fine though, and I would definitely need Ultrawide support as well.

What isn't supported for ultra-wide? The UI is in the right spots, just the loading screens are stretched and the cinematic have black bars, but used to the later in particular. Are things stretching at 3440x1440 that I'm just not noticing? I had to adjust the FOV to 85 is all.

UW is broken in practically every way possible, aside from the UI elements. Stretched cinematics, pillarboxed dialogues, the FOV is vert-, and you can't even set the game to real fullscreen mode without ini edits. And when you do that it breaks both vsync and Freesync/GSync; the tearing is unbearably awful. Borderless has pretty nasty input lag, so it's a trade off between that and Freesync.
Edit: BTW, if you want the game to look quite a bit better, add this to the bottom of Engine.ini :
File location for the Game Pass version is at %localappdata%\Packages\PrivateDivision.TheOuterWorldsWindows10_hv3d7yfbgr2rp\LocalCache\Local\Indiana\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
First two lines disable chromatic aberration and DOF, third line is to offset the shitty vaseline filter "antialiasing" (why the fuck people use TAA instead of at least offering the option of MSAA I will never understand), and the rest is to help with the pop in. I don't think there's much of a performance hit, as I'm still running the game at 100+ fps all the time on ultra with a 5700XT, but you can delete those lines if you lose too much fps. First three lines should have no fps impact at all, or a positive effect if anything. Do any in-game setting changes you need to first and make the file read-only after doing the edit or the game will constantly try to overwrite the changes.

Weird, my character was only like 8, and the armor is level 12. I actually rolled back all the crap I did between end of Terra 2 and finding the machine on Scylla because I bought two suits of 22 + 24 that were instantly obsolete and it was the same stuff when I reloaded and went there first. You're not seeing the pink/blue/white armor at Rizzo's machine? The 480 bit suits are medium, but only 14 Armor with Hack+7.
Max looks ridiculous in it, but can't argue with the Armor.
The machine on the right is the one that sells it, unless that's something else they changed for Supernova.

This is the build I wish I had used to start: Sniper build | The Outer Worlds | Nukes & Dragons
Kind of tempted to just start over rather than finish my current playthrough. Not like the game is that long anyway.

Oh for christ sakes drop a SoyBuck on Gamepass, jump in discord and have drunken convo with me. I picked up Makers 46 for the occasion.

The FPS on my PC would drop to zero at unfortunate times, I havea 2070 Super so I chalked it up to my old 3570k CPU. As I was using a GamePass trial I decided to try it on my Xbox One X but its just as bad on the console. To me the perf is bad enough that I'm just going to wait.

How time change... There was a point in my life where i was drowning in quality games that i kept trying to find at discount. Now am gladly paying full price without second thought when said quality title do comes out , and boy, how rare are those moments. So happy they still exist tho...

Only performance problem I've had is the tearing I get if I force it to do exclusive fullscreen instead of borderless. Otherwise it's 100+ fps all the time and loading screens are about 5 seconds tops. The shitshow ultrawide support was very nearly a deal-breaker when I first started playing though.

So loot as a whole changes as you level up. Once you pass a certain threshold you start seeing Mk2 or upgraded versions of weapons and armor with better stats. Can go from a 250 dps assault rifle to 550+ instantly.
Also on Monarch I landed at the pad and fought my way through. Holy fuck XP. If you can kill the initial wave right outside the pad it's worth spending the time to go the whole way, I got a few levels just fighting my way through.
