Is drag queen also fixed?

welcome to the real world.

What`s up with "duck and drive"?

Does 'Dragon Breath' mean shotgun enemies actually can not only riddle me with bullet storm, but even burn me and my cover to ashes?

A save file. I hope it matters.
Drive.google.com

Would you kindly give me your save file if you already have done the barge mission?

I meant one more mission AFTER the barge. I forgot what this one was about. Also, I forgot who my character was as well, but I remember the first glitch was during an assasination mission when I tried use a fast travel to the city, that`s all I know.
Could it happen because of your changes in buddies-list?

Actually, would it help if I just give you a save file?

My English is terrible so would you kindly explain, you say it happens because some buddies have been changed? Yes, exactly, I saved some girl from plane crash (plantation mission, right?) and I had Frank Bilders in buddies.

Just after one more mission after barge trip (it was hard AF, you need to nerf explosive turrets btw). After that I got a bus station crash. Then I finished it, and an assasination mission from a tower as well. And I got a new update and my save is broken.
The save been made in weaponary.

Aw, yes, a week ago, before it broke, I got crashes when was trying to get to the city by bus in Act 2 (after you saved by Jackal etc.) It was before Brave New World update. I went to the city on my feet and there were no more issues before the update.

Yes. I try to load and it crahes on the loading screen after a a few seconds.

Yes, exatcly. It was complitely fine before a new update. Also, i tried a couple of older versions, and it`s still broken.

I think you don`t get it right. This mod balances the game so NPCs aren`t more just a buddies with guns you can hunt, but mercinaries as you that have guns and skills. You must realise they are a match for you now, and this is a point of this mod. I play the hardest difficulty (it calls Insane, does it) so I can give advices.

Enemies have exatcly same power of destruction as you. Sometimes it looks like that you and an enemy need the same amount of bullets to die. You can`t just rush them with GL-something rifle, you will get riddled. Every time you need to check out if it`s safe up ahead, take a nice position for fight, and only after that engage. Or do not engage and try to sneak. One time, after getting a mission, I was stuck in safe house because avanpost ahead was really hard to clear. I tried to breach it about 6 times, because there were huge reinforcments dragging around killing me even if I broke through. So I decided to crouch in bushes, it really was the safest way.
(Mortar, crossbow or RPG guys are OP, that`s true, but they just do exactly the same you can)

Roads aren`t safe as well, M249 are mounted on every jeep is a thing you need to mind about. It`s a huge weapon so there is nothing wrong it kills you fast. It`s really much more safe to go on your feet away from roads. But it`s not to fast so you can combine walking and driving, but forget about "I`m gotta go from A to B", you won`t reach it. If you want to use cars remember a tip that can save your life: every time you met an enemy vehicle face to face, you must immediatly rotate the right side of your car to enemy (use spacebar), bail out and duck. You can get in the turret yourself but not being under fire. The animation is long and you will probably die. Buy M79 grenade launcher as fast as you can. It has less power than a crossbow so you won`t kill yourself.
Boats are cool, everyone loves it. Anyway, you can just get underwater if something goes wrong.

And yeah, buy a sniper rifle. A long distance is the only AI weak point. Also, you can use your M79 as a mortar. It works very fine with tweaked by mod projectile physics.

Tried the first time to play Brave New World update. Looks like my 50% finished save is broken. I can load other save files and start new game, but not my half-beaten one. My disappointment is unimaginable and my day is ruined.

Found out that my pre-last save been made when I`ve done about 25%. I didn`t save after that. What a terrible mistake...

Please, don`t decrease the difficulty more. I play on insane and won`t mind if it becomes even harder, but not easier. It`s really hard there, but still balanced even on the hardest difficulty. You CAN beat that and if somebody can`t, it just lowers the difficulty, does it?
But crossbow enemy tweak is cool. Every time I find one, it kills me, I load save and, being acknowledged about it, try again.

And a request about vehicles, could you make a feature of ducking while driving? Like you can`t control or shoot but your hitbox gets smaller and bullets can`t hit you. I ask for this because if you going around the corner meet face to face with a machine gunned jeep, you will get riddled with bullets instantly, so the safest way is to go on your feet no matter how far is your objective. Very often you even have no time to tailspin your right side to enemy, bail out and duck behind your car.

The original far cry 2 is just kind of a demoversion for this mod. Features you make are really amazing and fantasticly improve the game. (Now they can kill black women, what a world...)

That happens when I hold B with any weapon or map
Imgur.com
Imgur.com
But it still kinda works.
And I can`t figure, could I move while eating pills? That time, when I pressed B I crouched and stood still. IDK about moving but why did I crouch?

What exactly has been changed with sniper rifles?

Agreed with everything plus some more strange bugs:

When I was here the first time, I saw this
Imgur.com

The second time there were more enemies. Corpses from the first time are still there
Imgur.com
I pointed this place on the map. They are alive and can be killed (and drop me some syringes). There is kinda spawn of these guys or something, because the safe house nearby is everything under threat of intervention. Really, you go out, get bullets (or flamethrower blast, it`s really has the same range with shotgun or even rifle) and go home again.

Btw I have seen this helpless creature. He even can move but no more
Imgur.com

And in Pala, one lad walking around just screamed with literally no reason and died
Imgur.com
There was nothing to kill him.

P.S. There is literally no way to complete the misson without dying when you need to get to Oasis, climb down some ladders, get into a bunker and spot gold. When you try to get up after spotting you will be instantly killed, you can`t even stand on your feet. The only way is to accept your end, then be rescued by buddy and fight. I`ve complete this somehow but really, why is it the only one way?

Lmao
Wait, but you killed yourself properly by explosion, how could this bug happen? Is it like that because of script intervention?

Imagine the straight line from mortar to me. The line crosses the hit radius in some point. Enemy shoots me, can`t hit because I`m too far, but his shells fall exactly in that point every single time. There is no spreading. I can`t say about spreading in action because mortar guy never miss now. The first shell falls on me and I die.

About calling, so, it`s impossible to summon buddy without those animations and stuff? That`s bad.(

Not the same. You need to draw attention of location guards or potential patrols, lose your secondary, one of grenades (to kill yourself?) one syringe and especially, a lot of fun. And you will be evacuated to random point nearby, yeah. Really, that`s the global modification. You have made emergency healing, why don`t add one more cool gameplay feature?

Mortar guys became OP in the last version. They shoot straight at me everytime. Even if they can`t reach me with shell, they will shoot along straight line to me in one point which is on edge of mortar`s range. I tried this many times loading a save back - they hit the closest point to me every single time.

Flamethrower boss is tough but not OP except he can burn me through trees, walls or rocks where I cover.

And sometimes I get this while traveling around:
Imgur.com
Imgur.com
There is no tussle or explosions, they are just JoJoposing there. And these NPC can get into car and stuck. They won`t drive away or bail out and fight, they will just sit and scream something at times.

Isn`t it kind of a script which controls spawn point of you and your buddy after rescuing?

That`s exactly I want to see. It is wonderful buddy can`t rescue you after calling before you re-enable him! There is even no need to balance. That`s the fair price you pay for inviting one more gun in your squad. If that`s the only problem, do it with no doubt.

Why explosive crossbow equips in the secondary slot? It should be like that?

I don't know about boss but I met some flamethrowers and they are very tough but still vulnerable.

Okey we need to talk. The game is actually hard on infamous difficulty. Every avanpost, every vehicle patrol is dangerous and can instantly kill you forcing to load the last save. It is a challenge I was asking for and I don't complain but may be there is no need to make enemies more tough than they actually are because of the reason I'm gonna tell you.
While enemies are calmed, they can walk past you without camouflage and don't give a single you know. But once they are alarmed they get kind of sixth sense. There is literally no way to flank them in ~10 meters, they know where you are even you are camouflaged and crouching. You just sneak in bushes about a minute, then you scope and see they ALL are looking straight at you. But it's easy to fool them when you play as sniper and change your position after every shot. They will rush a point they have seen you last time.
Mortar gay, however, can become more accurate but his reload speed should be decreased. Now he os not like "oh God death is falling from the sky I must retreat" but more like "woah it is not a shotgun guy I'll kill him later maybe". He doesn't make me to stop camping with my sniper rifle and change my position.

Jumping and climbing are improved now but game can just unload the world around you when you try to climb really high. After that game can crush trying to load location, or even load locations back but NPCs will stuck or something else happen. Is there a way to increase the distance of loading? (And distance of view if you could) And if you do this, you can also remove skyboxes. They prevent from using climbing it could be used.

You made a nice feature of healing without syringes by holding H. What if we could call a friend for help like we got injured and revived by him by holding 5 or something without dying? You hold button, see animation of calling, and your buddy spawns nearby and helps you. Of course if you get injured he won't able to save you in action and he still can die.

Crash during tutorial mission (i saved first buddy in cockfights and was driving back to slaughter house). When I was approaching to slaughter house - I got crash. I tried this several times - sometimes it crashes, sometimes it doesn`t.

About phonecalls bug... I uninstalled entire game, 'documents' game folder, install it again and last version of modification and this happend again. Phone call - and silence. FPS was locked on 60 by console command.

That "friendly" guy I was talking about wasn`t friendly. I know about friendly AI but it wasn`t him. He was a white and well equipped enemy I met at avanpost and he tried to kill me. He was trying so hard so I had to retreat quite back and heal. After that I killed other enemies with sniper rifle but not him. He did exactly I said, he began to ignore me and my actions. And I finally killed him with sneaky machete stab. If he really was friendly (but I guess he wasn`t) it means it`s possible to kill friendly NPCs with backstab.

It is not like I`m complaining about everything but I`m just terrible at bug reporting and English but really want to help. Sorry for that.

(How did you change AI? I didn`t spot any complications)

Well, i`ve played more time and got more issues. Idk are all of them modification`s bugs but i have no more mods installed and reshade was disabled during tests. I never save anywhere but safe houses.

1. Sometimes boat driver NPCs aren`t at it`s place but somewhere under boat in T-pose or something like that and you can see only head.

2. Rarely NPCs just ignore sounds around or even bullets hitting them becoming invulnerable, but stealth machete attack actually can kill them. Defolt machete attack - can`t. And they won`t care about that.

3. Often I get calls but when I pick up the phone no one says anything and there are no subs as well. The call never ends so I have to drop the call manually by pressing "5"

4. I can`t choose items in any list correctly. No matter it is main menu or Weapons Dealer`s PC, I CAN click on them and select one but can`t highlight them with down or up arrow because it instantly switches on the first item. In case of PC I can`t scroll the list and pick weapons in bottom.
The same happens with save game feature, I can`t pick any of saved games to overwrite so every time I have to create a new save file.
And when I`m trying to change brightness, contrast or gamma, a slider moves
all the way to the right and there is no way to move it even a bit to the left.
(Not sure it`s your fault or something wrong with my game files)

5. And crashes, yeah.

All of these issues (except 4, it`s permanent) happen randomly time to time and I can`t see any pattern.

Otherwise, i love this mod and i`m very grateful to you. ^^

Upd. AND I JUST FINISHED THIS POST AND THERE IS AN UPDATE! My life is meaningless.

Upd. 2 In one update, IED became a secondary gadget equipping in 5 slot. Would you kindly do the same to flare gun and mortar if it`s possible? They are so situational so it won`t be very OP i guess. Especially with encreased difficulty. I know there are much more important stuff to add and fix but nonetheless... And I suggest to nerf Emergency healing without syringe to only 1/5 health per time. It will be more risky beacuse enemies are agressive so it is no more kinda cheat but useful under supression fire feature. Saying that as a hardest difficulty player who combat at the front with assault rifle or shotgun. Close combats are dangerous and often cover under hard enemy fire.

This is not what called "The Dark Souls of FPS". Actually, AI isn`t a match even at the hardest difficulty and there is infinite healing feature, so it becomes much easier than it was in old versions. And advice "don`t use it" won`t work because when it becomes really hot everybody will use that and I am not an exception.
