Haha, so I'm not the only one with unreleased and incomplete fixes. No one can blame you.
Real life work is the biggest hurdle. After arriving home late and tired, and with a huge backlog to play... I usually fix a game when I want to play that game and it's broken in 3D. Or when I feel motivated.
Getting stuck with some effects is also discouraging. For example, I'm stuck with a green mist effect in DS2, lighting, water (only in some places) and shadows in Shadow Complex, some lighting in Van Helsing, lighting and shadows in Giana Sisters DX11...
I think I'll be more motivated after I get a new GPU. I don't like playing/fixing something I can't run properly.

[quote="DJ-RK"]What DSS said, and also I've personally been taking some time to scratch completing a few games off my bucket list (GTAV and original Dark Souls, most recently).
I've technically got 2 WIP's: Ryse and X-Com 2.
Ryse is one hell of a PITA. I got to working on that one again last week. Ironed out a couple more issues, but ran into quite a few more (eg. the lighting shaders that I fixed in the first level break shadows in the 2nd level, which seem to require no fix at all *confused face*). Also, there's a ton of broken lighting effects that 1 single compute shader is responsible for, which has somewhere in the ballpark of, oh, like 3000 lines of code in it. Kinda makes it hard to track down anything meaningful and fix in that one. I'd hate to abandon the project, especially considering the time I've invested in it, but anything I release on that one might not be the smoothest experience.
X-Com 2 I just need to play through the rest of the game to make sure there aren't any additional broken shaders (past few missions I played had no issues, so I think it's probably ok), but for some reason I haven't had the drive to continue on with that one, so I might end up just wrapping that one up and putting it out into the wild and see if anyone reports issues and then I'll fix them.
I've also recently fixed S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat entirely in DX11 and fixed up the few issues that do exist in Metro: Last Light, but haven't posted those up on the blog either. When I stop being lazy, you'll see a whole whack of posts on the blog from me.[/quote]
Some really nice games you're working on DJ-RK :)
I'm not surprised that Ryse is a pain..
But right now I'm actually more interested in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fix, it would be totally awesome to play it 3D.
Please post it, I would voluntarily try it with the Misery mod in DX11 :)

[quote="eqzitara"]Good on him. Im ussually like "ugh" whenever someone tries to commission a game cause its ussually like a train wreck and you have no idea what its like till its done.[/quote]
Yeah, I made sure to enter the arrangement with 0 expectations on both sides to avoid any ugliness. I let him know that I would be happy to give both games a shot but couldn't make any promises, and similarly even though he put up specific "bounties" on each of them, I let him know I was simply glad to help and expected no compensation, but anything provided would be greatly appreciated. Just so happened he was good on his offer, so both parties were happy in that regard.
[quote="necropants"]I have actually been anticipating That X-com 2 fix of yours. If you flick me what you have got, I would be happy to start playing it through and forward you saves of anything I find broke.
I am in russia at the moment for a few weeks but would be keen to do this when I get back.
I'm still playing your beta fix of the hud depth SFV as well which I don't see on the blog. IMO it's more than good enough for release, or at least an alt version for the site.

Ahhh crap, sorry there bud, didn't realize you were waiting on baited breath, hehe. (I'm sure you weren't actually jonesing, though, just making a humorous response) I'll make sure that I get that up on the blog before the weekend (even though you won't get to it for a bit), and thanks for reminding me of the SFV fix, I'll put that one up as an alt download as well. A damn shame I can't even enjoy that game, after all these patches and a complete computer hardware upgrade, I still get reduced to slow motion after 5 minutes of gameplay, which is why I never got around to letting you kick my ass online yet. :( Game sure looks pretty though, even moreso in slow motion, lol.

Tells ya what: I still need to confirm if the fix is properly working outside of my own rig, so before I post it to the blog, would you mind testing it out for me? I'll send you a PM with a link to the fix after I finish this post. I didn't try the Misery mod, because I heard that with this being my first time playing a STALKER game, that mod literally would be a misery for me, lol. But I did ensure that Atmosphear and Absolute Nature/Structures were working, which didn't require any additional fixes over vanilla, so I imagine that mod should be fine as well.
[quote="lohan"]Thanks for the all feedback guys. Exactly what I hoped to get out of this thread![/quote]
And thank you for posting this thread, didn't realize how far behind and complacent I was being, and how I'm preventing some individuals from enjoying some fine games, which I've certainly put some hard work into, so it's almost a crime for me to be hoarding out of laziness! lol.
