I got a scoped hunting rifle from a named marauder just north ish of the starting town. The named is one of the ones you need to collect the fingers from for the bounties.

Unfortunately ini edits can't do anything more than force the game to run ultrawide resolutions in true fullscreen. The actual ultrawide support is broken, just like most UE4 games at release (especially ones by devs making their first game with it). They are using vert- instead of hor+ and setting AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV sort of fixes it but also breaks other stuff, pre-rendered cutscenes are stretched instead of pillarboxed, and to make things even more absurd, normal dialogue screens ARE pillarboxed. It would be hard to mess up ultrawide support more thoroughly if they tried.

After dicking around with the ini files for an hour I ended up deleting all my ini edits except the ones to mitigate some of TAA's fullscreen-vaseline-effect by sharpening everything and completely disabling chromatic aberration. Sharpening is better than just turning TAA off entirely, and the in-game settings don't let you turn off CA without disabling a bunch of other stuff too, contrary to what ACG said. You can also disable the extreme DOF effect in dialogues if you want, but turning it off entirely isn't really an improvement imo.

Fortunately the game itself is pretty great so far, and in between dialogues and cutscenes I can nearly forget about the annoying technical stuff.

Edit: @j00t Crone Crone Go into Settings->UI and uncheck Show Base Item Stats. No idea why that's on by default, it prevents you from seeing what your skills are doing.

Edit 2: Anyone know if companions actually use ammo/durability on the gun they have equipped? Seems like it, but I only did a couple fights after getting my first one.

I don't think so, I know for 100% sure that durability is ignored. I killed the outlaw King guy in the bottom of the first space station and got his named flamer, and one of my companions has been using it constantly without any ammo problems. This is on hard mode, supernova may be different.

Okay I am fucking pissed. Do any of you have issues with the microsoft store downloading? It's only telling me I get 5 mbps but in reality its probably running under a mbps.

To make sure I wasn't going insane I went and installed a similar sized steam game and it took under 45 minutes. At this rate it will take me days to download this garbage.

Pirate bay it is.

Yep installed and playing now. You know the last time I struggled to download something where I I had to spend hours to update my OS just to install it? Then had to troubleshoot the download client which still did nothing? Just so I could fail and then still not be able to download the game client? Oh also the updated windows crashed which seems to by default purge your download progress from the store. So it's got that going for it.

Downloaded and installed in 30 mins from Pirate Bay.

I will never touch the piece of shit Microsoft store again. Ever. Holy fucking shit that was a terrible experience.

I found mods that allowed me to turn my hunters rifle into a plasma sniper rifle and a chain lightning gun into a plasma gun

Yes. In fact, he comes as a pre-built.

I am totally playing on supernova by the way. I had a major hard-on for all the survival mods in New Vegas.

Also playing as a stealthy assassin hacker pussy boy.

Wtf? The Xbox beta PC app for me had it download directly in the client. Why your shit all fucked up? Although given your issues I do agree that Codex was the way to go!!

So after you leave the first planet, you get to choose between two paths, find flight plans basically on a space station, or travel to the planet Monarch and fight your way overland through waves of super hard enemies. Anyone choose that way yet besides me? Ridiculous. My weapons were all plasma and level 12+ by the time I left Terra 2 so these mobs are challenging but not that hard. Tons of loot on them and in the surrounding area.

Supernova difficulty is a ball buster. Lots of deaths and not even off of the first planet. Those ground tunneling prime monkeys can eat a bag of dicks.

I used the MS Store to install. Easy peasy.

Getting the account set up though, was a pain in the ass.
