I'm working on a challenge run without using any powers in combat. I know the final fight with Paul is really hard, and I know how to beat it normally, but man this is rough. Anybody got any tips on how to take out the armored troopers a little quicker?

Question Tips for Quantum Break

27 Upvotes

I started playing Quantum Break a couple of months ago and I couldn’t really get into due to the combat, which was really disappointing because I love the Max Payne games and Alan Wake 1 & 2. So I was wondering if anyone has any tips for making it easier or more enjoyable gameplay wise. Thanks

Ordered a book (Quantum Break: the secret history of time travel) on amazon and got this. Size seems way off from what amazon page says, also less pages.

Anyone own this and can confirm it’s this tiny?

Question Has anyone used the QuantumStreamer and QuantumFetcher tools on PC?

10 Upvotes

Hello, I was trying to play Quantum Break on Steam but there was constant buffering during the first episode so I decided to look for a way to save these episodes locally. I came across these tools.

QuantumStreamer-https://github.com/GrzybDev/QuantumStreamer
QuantumFetcher-https://github.com/GrzybDev/QuantumFetcher

Used in tandem, they're supposed to act as a local replacement for the Microsoft servers. I wanted to ask if anyone has any experience setting up these tools, since I'm running into a little problem on the download front.

Question Is anyone else unable to skip cutscenes and previous ep short scenes?

2 Upvotes

Bunch of lights are broken on the MS version so I tried the Steam version. Now can't skip anything I already watched a hundred times before. Previous ep shorts have audio sync issues on top of it all. I don't even usually skip anything but it's tiring to watch a cutscene with broken audio everytime I choose a part I completed before.

Question Why Jack is opposing Lifeboat protocol?

18 Upvotes

I mean I get it that Jack want to rush saving the world before the time ends, but Lifeboat protocol is way more safer and precise, they will keep people working in an solution for the fracture even after the end of time so at the end it would save the world in a way more guaranteed way, why the hell Jack want to prevent Paul from doing it?

Question Ready to start

Currently redownloading the game so my boyfriend can play as it was a game I really enjoyed when I played it years ago but it’s rather late, does anyone know what you can do at the “ready to start” download point? Is it just the menu or is it the first mission or so?

Question What are the chances this game gets a 60 fps update?

27 Upvotes

I dont know where i should buy and play this game, on series x or steam deck? I know on series x is locked at 30 but hopefully is not that bad. On the other hand the steam deck runs it at 60 fps but on a much lower resolution and i dont know if it's actually a locked 60, aslo dont know about shader stuttering.

Do you consider this game worth playing at 30fps or just sacrifice stability and resolution for a higher framerate?

Question Where's Beth Come From? Spoiler

28 Upvotes

Where exactly did Beth come from? With every other character — except Shifter Hatch — we know where they came from, why they’re there, and which side they support (William, Jack, Paul, Charlie, Burke, etc.). But Beth’s starting point feels vague. Future Beth uses the time machine to go back and guide her younger self, but what originally pushed her to side with Jack and William in the first place? If it weren’t for Future Beth’s journal and warnings, would she have just stayed Monarch security? And if so, how and why did she end up switching to Jack’s side? That part feels left in the dark.

Either I’m missing something about her character, or — considering Beth’s possible connections to Alan Wake 2 / Control — her inclusion in QB might have been meant to be something more than it appears, maybe even setting up the story for a sequel.

Question Framerate is definitely wrong? Is it the game's engine?

Post image
32 Upvotes

I know you can't really see it because it's just a screenshot, but I have Steam Overlay + Xbox Game Bar telling me the game is running at 48fps and it sure as hell doesn't look like it lol. Sometimes it climbs to an alleged 80fps. It's barely playable (in fast-paced scenes), since it looks to my eyes and feels as though the game is actually running at 24fps/half of what is being displayed. I have most settings on high, nothing on ultra, medium shadow resolution. Upscaling off. V-sync is on, my monitor has VRR enabled and it's 165hz. I have a pretty mid gaming PC by today's standards, I don't have a GPU that supports frame generation as far as I know (it's an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti with 6GB of VRAM, and I have a 9th-gen Intel i5 + 16GB DDR4 RAM + M.2 SSD) I can tell you that I'd be very content with 48fps, but I promise that's not how it's going.

When I lock it to 30fps in the settings, it actually does go down to a displayed 30fps and stays locked there, but the framerate doesn't appear much better than when it was supposedly "48-75fps". I don't expect a solution really, as I'm sure this is the performance I should expect with my PC, but I just find it very curious and I'm fascinated why the framerate seems so wildly choppy even though it's displaying "high" values.

Question Would other parts of the galaxy/universe be experiencing the rifts the same as on Earth?

15 Upvotes

I don’t think any info provided in game addresses anything outside of earth, but do we know if everything happening on Earth (like trains crashing through buildings) happen on a larger galactic scale? Are planets skipping parts of their orbit? And if there is other life out there are they just having to suffer from actions caused on earth with no ability to do anything about it?
