DARIUS BURST CHRONICLE SAVIOURS (STEAM/PS4/Vita)

[Glick]

A friend has his running at 2560x1440, so.

That's what I'm running it at as well:

[Obscura]

Can anyone explain the detached unit burst? Sometimes, it just won't rotate, and there's absolutely no indication given as to why.

Likewise, sometimes right after I've done the Border Down style burst, I can't burst again until I've shot something, even though I've got plenty of energy.

Really wish I had a dual monitor setup. Arcade mode is nearly unplayable on my setup, and CS's level design seems really half-assed.

[bulbousbeard]

I only see 2560x1440 if I enable DSR in the Nvidia settings, which is really strange, because my monitor's native resolution is 1440p.

With Legend it turns to face away from your position, and with another whose name I can't remember it turns to face your position, so the "sensitivity" per se depends on your distance from the burst unit. Just imagine a line going through your ship and the burst unit and that's the direction it'll try to turn to face. Also it doesn't rotate while you're firing, and there seems to be a short cooldown after your previous burst before you can use the burst again.

[Obscura]

Also it doesn't rotate while you're firing.

THAT'S the key I was missing! Thanks!

Found some images of the Vita version.



I regret preordering the Vita limited edition. I'll probably just straight up sell it once it arrives.

You regret it because...why, exactly?

[The Coop]

Nice. They either fixed the slowdown and brought back the resolutions that vanished, or they reverted to an earlier build before those issues cropped up. In either case, it's nice to see the game running smoothly on my 1600x900 laptop again. Happy shmup-times ahead.

Game runs great at 1440p here on an SLI GTX780 setup, Win10. I think GSYNC is turned on too, but I did have to go into NVIDIA drivers to limit refresh to slow it down. I hooked up 2 x 1080p 32" TVs to each video card and disabled SLI so I could run 2 monitors, and the game is pretty choppy on dual screen. Went back to one TV and it works fine. It's amazing with 2 screens, and the buttkicker on my chair is going crazy (dat bass!). Not sure how to fix the stuttering, but I'm not going to keep 2 monitors connected (especially since my 34" 1440p 21:9 monitor is coming next week!) beyond this weekend. Just want to see if anyone has any tips.

I also have to disconnect my Razer Orbweaver to play, as it pushes my arcade stick to player 2. Miner annoyance, but I have similar issues with Crimson Clover on Steam as well. Tomorrow, I'm going to try playing this on my 55" main TV through the Steam Link device and see how that goes.

I'm sad because AC mode actually lags occasionally on my computer ):
ADH route ruined )):

You can't even map all 4 players to unique keys on the keyboard.

Wait, is it even possible to play with 4 people at a time on one keyboard?

[spmbx]

The only way, apart from the arcade cab setup, to properly play it dual-screen would be with a dual projector gapless setup. A monitor's bezel splitting the game just looks lame

Eh, it's not terrible really. I've got about an inch and a half or so of space between the actualy screens of my two monitors and it still works great.

Not had the chance to play yet (came out 3.30am over here in blighty and I have work in 15 mins) but I would like to say thanks to Degica for not screwing us UK people over with the currency conversion.

Requires a controller with no ghosting at least.

[Shepardus]

Played this for much longer than I should have today. Mostly worked on A-D-H to practice counterbursting until I got the clear but also played a little bit of Chronicles mode and CS mode. The game runs very smoothly on my laptop, except for framerate drops during the boss warning and boss explosions in CS mode (not in AC mode, though, since it's rendering at a lower resolution there to fit on the screen). I guess this doesn't need to be said considering this is Darius we're talking about, but I'm really impressed by the music, especially in the AC mode stages I've played where the tracks flow into and complement each other really well.

On 3 screens

[Blackbird]

O_O it works on three screens!

I'm still stoked I managed to get some counterbursts off during the livesteam, haha.

[mamboFoxtrot]

Do the green laser attacks some bosses have ignore shields? I almost cleared ADH route, but I got hit by one of those with a shield on and asploded. Or, at least I think that's what I got hit by. Screen gets pretty busy sometimes.

Mac folks: works great under Wineskin, you'll need to winetricks d3d9_43, d3dcompiler, xact_jun2010


That'll get you up with one monitor. Want glorious dual monitor DBCS? Download a wine-staging build from here:
https://mega.nz/#F!2sI3xZha!A9IikQlMAOAcX8r4l4l7rg

Put it in ~/Library/Application Support/Wineskin/Engines

Change your wrapper's engine (or create a wrapper with) to the wine-staging engine you downloaded.

Now the important part: Make sure in the OSX system preferences, under Mission Control you have "Displays have separate Spaces" UNCHECKED. If it was previously checked before you'll have to logout and re-login to get it to work.

Enjoy huge fish.

Wait, is it even possible to play with 4 people at a time on one keyboard?

Requires a controller with no ghosting at least.

And a Non-USB keyboard.

Even if you use a mechanical keyboard with an infinite key rollover, the USB protocol limits 7 simultaneous key presses I believe.

Complaining that you can't play 4 players on 1 keyboard is absolutely ridiculous.

[pixelcorps]

goddamit, JP version is delayed so I can`t even buy the english version until january unless I get it gifted.

Its a fucking STG, how much text info do you need?

Mac, it's just works!

Fantastic game, I really get a good feeling inside me when I manage to counter-burst.

Now we need a physical release and merc I would kill for a king fossil t-shirt.

Maybe games-glorious can be persuaded ? http://gamesglorious-international.com/

I want this so bad but have no idea where to buy it?

[x91]

Ugh, there's a duplicate up. The builds have the exact same content, but one has artifact pricing. You want the one on top @ 40 USD.

In any case, DariusBurst CS is now live! Please enjoy playing.

Looks like I'm the only one that stupid enough to buy the expensive duplicate, and I can't get my money back now because I played a whole afternoon.

I'm sure they'll refund you the difference, or just refund you period and so you can repurchase it. It was their mistake, so contact Steam support and get them started on fixing it.

I think you missed the boat on those, they were available at HEY in Akiba for a limited time, think they sold out within a week.

Anybody having issues with high scores showing up under ranking? When I load up ACEX my score shows on the attract mode but it doesn't appear under the ranking front end. Also, is there some particular mode you need to be in for the 30,000,000 and 50,000,000 point achievements to pop? I've done these both in AC and neither of them have popped.

[qmish]

Though YES, i also had a problem of "40 fps unless u switch display to 60 hz" with Ether Vapor, Alltynex 2nd, Astebreed and others.

[RecklessRave]

I play the PS4 version using an X360 Hori VLX and a CronusMAX Plus adapter. Aside from requiring a USB hub to implement Cross-Over Authentication, it works a treat.

I've been unlocking some of the new planets in Chronicle Mode on Cabinet 0011. If you want to assist, aim straight for the red map nodes, which will unlock further planets when cleared - unless they have a "One Credit Clear" restriction, you can continue in them to clear them, but it only registers your score from the first credit.

That's how I hope to be playing soon too...I am awaiting arrival of a USB hub currently. I am also on the PS4 version, on cab 0011, and I unlocked one new planet yesterday, and one the day before that. My scores are total crap though and I can't even complete the 1CC missions yet. But it was nice to start up Chronicle mode yesterday and see that some progress had been made since I played the day before!
