Widescreen exploit ?

Post by Discreet »

I'm running the game in fullscreen on a wiedscreen monitor, and this only happens in fullscreen mode.
So what I found is that if I see an emeny in the border on the game view and start to ranged attack it. It will not attack back. Nothing will happen, I can simply ranged attack it until it dies, they won't do a thing.

This happens only if the enemy is in the pink area and only if I'm running the game in fullscreen mode.

Thanks discreet. This appears to be fixed in version 1.01.

The 1.01(beta) patch did fix some of the probem. But I was testing the game a bit more and I found this.
What I did. I ran away from my enemy, and ran to another map. While my enemy was standing next to the dark area (the darkness which leads to the next map). Then I went back to the map where my enemy was but from another way, so it can't see me reentering the map. The enemy was facing the "darkness" and I started to ranged attack it while it was in the border. (as on my screenshot) And it did not fight back. But only if it was in the pink highlighted area. This happens in windowed and full screen mode.

Hmm, that one may take a bit more investigation.

Well, at least it looks like the problem is mostly fixed in 1.01, meaning most creatures aren't going to sit on the edge of the screen and take damage from you.

I'll keep messing around with it.
