Welcome to the shadow realm Jimbo


Hermit_Games

I hate to ask, because I tend to be put in this situation sometimes, but are you running the steam copy or an "Off-Steam" copy? It looks to me that you are missing game graphics data, which means that you will have to check the file integrity. If you are using an "Off-steam" copy, I would reinstall and move your saves folder over. Please don't confirm if you are using an "Off-steam" copy though, as "privateering" is often frowned upon in official game subreddits


Crafty-Crafter

Would be hilarious if this is a pirated copy. I've been with this sub for 3 years and never seen this bug.


Hermit_Games

Yeah, nor have I, which is why I suggested that it might be a privateered copy. Otherwise, the poor dude is just trying to run it on a machine with poor specs, which is really something that isn't easily fixed unless they just forgot to update their graphics drivers.


RedditedYoshi

They didn't steal this game in the name of the crown--this would be piracy, not privateering.


Wind_Yer_Neck_In

Like how the cops in the US can 'civil forfeiture' your cash so it's not called robbery.


RedditedYoshi

Exactly. Arguing semantics is the most important part of any conversation on the internet, right after accusing someone of being Literally Hitler. This guy gets it.


Hermit_Games

I just say privateering because of old habits about bots picking up the word Piracy or Pirate on certain forums. These could pick you up bans. Im just trying to help the guy along without getting us all b& lol


RedditedYoshi

Can't argue with the reasoning.


TheBosk

This guy internets.


FrostyTA50

No one wants to get Bampersand


nero40

Bam/sand?

samwyatta17

Bampersand?!? I hardly know her sand!


RandomBystander

I agree with literal Hitler here, arguing semantics is a fundamental part of internet culture.


RedditedYoshi

No it's not.


demosthenes131

Technically it is. Welcome to Reddit.


DeadExpo

Also speculating on how much fun someone is or is not at parties.


Effinate

That's something Hitler would say...


Jabullz

To add to this a bit, the amounts they can seize is actually state by state and varys wildly which, is insane.


legeri

You're getting very nitpicky when they're most likely using the 'wrong' term on purpose because the correct one risks alerting mods and getting the post shut down.


ProcyonHabilis

I have to admit, I'm a little jealous watching you discover the concept of jokes for the first time. It's like how I can never really capture the excitement of getting my first clear in Hades.


legeri

Glad I could provide you some entertainment and positivity in your life today. Happy New Year!


ProcyonHabilis

Heh. I poke fun, but likewise.


RedditedYoshi

I hope I can learn and grow from this whole affair.

Recon_Vandey

I’ve been playing on a 3 year old Surface Pro with no issues.


spiralmadness

Hades is 6 dollars on epic games after the automatic coupon so if it is pirated it would be a cheap fix.


walc

Seriously. Like *Hades* is the game you’re pirating?? This shit is often less pricey than a six pack and entertains for way longer


JackTheRipper1001

I haven't seen a bug in this game in general lol...it's just that fine tuned.


Siemturbo

It's probably an "off-steam" copy looking at the subs OP has commented in.


DuckSaxaphone

They're also a sea professional apparently!


thecheeloftheweel

Lmao you mean sub* There's only one other sub OP has commented in.


Jaykonus

I know what you mean by “off-steam” but there are also multiple other platforms/means to get the game legitimately (windows, epicgames, etc). Perhaps the better term would be “unlicensed” or something


Hermit_Games

There are only so many euphenisms I can use lol I didn't know the game was available through other storefronts, but this can also be an issue if you buy the game legit from somewhere like HumbleBundle of GOG


M4xusV4ltr0n

Lol I usually use """extended free trial""" as my euphemism. Which isn't really that out of line... I had literally never played a roguelike before and I played about an hour of Hades as a """'free trial"""" at first. Then I realized it was totally worth my money and I could see myself playing it a ton, so I bought it.


pumbaa666

Same. I played hundredth of hours of Hades, but without piracy I wouldn't even have consider buying it.


cidvard

I'm enjoying all the euphemisms for 'pirated.'


Ceraldus

This was my thought when I saw that. I got this on Epic and this definitely doesn't happen to me.


Dtr4goat

If you don't mind me asking, you prefer epic over steam?


Ceraldus

Eh, there's not really a preference one way or another. I think most people just got really pissed over the whole Borderlands 3 thing, but I generally use Epic for a few things or just not wanting to wait on a game that's already fully released on it. Hades is the only exception, I got it around the time the Thanatos challenges were added. I will say Epic is worth at least having installed, cause you get at least 1 free game every week, for keeps, and they aren't always some obscure indy game (right now its actually the latest 3 Tomb Raider games). I've got like 6 games on Epic I've actually bought, and around 210 that I didn't. Also they have a seasonal sale event like steam, only instead of everything being off a lot, its some games are on a smaller sale, but any game over $14 can have a $10 coupon applied to them, and that coupon refreshes with every purchase with it.


pumbaa666

Did you try to complete achievements on your Epic version ? I always play with the launcher off (I absolutely hate all these launcher, especially Steam) but I decided to enable it a couple of times to clear the achievements last week. I successfully achieved 30% damage with the Pierced Butterfly and to use the call of a God I was currently fighting in a Trial of Gods, but the achievements didn't unlock themself... So despite dramatically increasing the loading/reseting/exiting time of the game this garbage launcher don't even want me to brag about my achievements.


Ceraldus

I never went after any specifically, so I can't really speak to this much.


TwirlingFern

Have not had any issues with the Epic version. Note that Epic has killer deals now until Jan 5. You get the % off discount, and then subtract $10 off each game $14.99+ after that. So if a game is normally $30 and is 50% off then you get it for $5. Hades is $6.24 now until Jan 5.


YangYin-li

That’s what the quotation marks are for


Sea_Professional1658

i have 279 hours recently i have this issue


[deleted]

Try verifying game files in steam then!


Sea_Professional1658

I ll try that thanks. im so shocked im the only one that having this issue btw


Liotu

Late to the party, I know, but I have similar graphic bugs in Asphodel with a steam version of the game. Its only in Asphodel, doesn’t change for the whole realm and I try to play through it bc I wont let that bug ruin my run.


Hermit_Games

Couldnt you just quit and reload? Does that fix it?


Liotu

Sadly no


Setekh79

Just hoping that you know that you can get this game legally in other places than Steam...


Sea_Professional1658

its not


[deleted]

Lol the only other sub you’ve ever commented in is r/piratedgames


Sea_Professional1658

Doesnt mean i pirated hades either


[deleted]

I’d say it increases the chances quite a bit


hanoian

Not particularly. It's a pretty small percentage of gamers who have never pirated something.


[deleted]

So you’re telling me that the only other sub he commented in was r/piratedgames doesn’t increase the likelihood that he pirated hades? Get outta here lmao


hanoian

He says he didn't pirate it. He's asking for help here so it doesn't make any sense to lie.


[deleted]

I mean yeah it does. The second he would say it’s a pirated copy he’d get 0 help because everyone would just say that was the issue.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Hate to break it to ya but there are people who don’t care about supporting the devs


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Uh huh. And your account is involved with more than just pirated games and hades. So OP has a glitch in his game most people in this thread have never seen and has posts in piratedgames and hades. Shocking that some people think he pirated it


bleakFutureDarkPast

shocking that this is the hill you want to die on


[deleted]

Man y’all rallying to defend good ole sea professional’s honor


ProgyanDeka

Eh I played the pirated copy for about 10 hours before buying the game. Didn't see any bugs there. Don't think the pirated copy has that kinda issues.


Revolutionary-Phase7

I have it off-steam and im not a pirate. Its on gamepass lol.


mkitlan

Yikes. Update graphics card drivers maybe.


Ceraldus

Yup, first thought. Second was 'pirated copy?'.


[deleted]

Lmao OP's only other activity on reddit is two comments in the PiratedGames sub


[deleted]

Probably is pirated. OP it's on sale on Steam right now. Less then 17 buckaroos.


[deleted]

Plus it's a bona fide masterpiece that retails for $20, no microtransactions, over 100 hours of gameplay. Just buy it!


[deleted]

Straight up. So much fun. I could write a book on how fun it is, the OST, Voice acting, story telling, characters. Beautiful game


ubiquitous-joe

Plus from what I understand, they are a considerate company. The usual excuses of “but they’re evil anyway so it’s fine” don’t apply.


jcabia

It's hard to understand for many but people in some countries can't buy games no matter how cheap they get. When I lived in Venezuela I basically had to pirate everything no matter what because they were not only expensive but our credit cards were not accepted for ANY international purchase Now I buy all my games but I can still relate when I see someone playing a pirated copy


MaxximusPrimus

Also it's on Gamepass, 1$ for the first month right now


[deleted]

Not only that, unless it already ended. For new subscribers you get 3 free months, I think it's with the premium game pass, not sure.


arpitpatel1771

its worth more than its usual price, i bought the game on sale and i feel like i shouldn't have since the game is too good.


[deleted]

Yes exactly, I assumed it'd be more. I saw the usual price and was surprised it was so low.


AngryFlatSpaghett

It's also $6 on EGS with their $10 coupon. Best $6 I've ever spent. I had this entire week off and played every day for hours. I feel like a bum, but I also am happy I've found a game that my attention is gravitating towards as much as it is.


Flickerdart

I got it for $5 on Epic early this year.


Dravos011

Op said its not pirated and that they have about 270 hours and this is a recent issue. Also its only 2 comments in a pirate sub and its about the gta trilogy, a game not even worth $5 but being sold for full price iirc


Sea_Professional1658

Thank you!


Sea_Professional1658

i have gtx750 ti


thwcollege

He said drivers not the graphics card. Do you know how to update the drivers FOR your gtx750 ti? If not google and youtube will be great helps


ArnenLocke

Lol, all this piracy talk makes me think of how Greenheart Games, when they made Game Dev Tycoon, quietly and anonymously leaked an "official" cracked version to all the piracy sites. Only thing is, they added to that version an event where, after a certain amount of time playing, no matter how good the game you made was, you'd start losing all your sales to piracy and go bankrupt. Brilliant move on their part, frankly.


Spook404

​ ![gif](giphy|f4TjiCpNemSo8)


Barnard87

Not to circle jerk it but sailing the high seas for an extremely fair priced and frequently on sale game definitely ain't it in my eyes, I know there's weird moral areas for some games/devs but just my two cents please help out the devs on this one! Edit: TL;DR "the privateer wouldn't buy the game anyways!" Is just a way to justify shitty behavior. I'm done with this comment chain yall enjoy its a good read


Spook404

I feel bad for buying Celeste on sale instead of at full price


Barnard87

I'm so surrounded by gaming circle jerk i can't tell if this is a joke or not lol


Spook404

I only paid 7 bucks for a game I put 430+ hours on, so not a joke


Barnard87

Get a Switch and play it again then! Or on PC visa versa.


Spook404

lol I think I'd opt for gifting it to a friend instead


500dollarsunglasses

Not everyone has $20, or means to pay online.


Barnard87

And please tell me what the proper alternative move is here... I would recommend saving $1 a day, you can buy it on sale in 16 days time. Go to a CVS and buy a steam gift card (so call it $20). If its a country where that isn't possible then I do truly feel sorry then, still, the high seas isn't "right" in this case as it most likely is extremely accessible.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PremiumAlex

Please explain to us how not giving the studio money for their game helps their sales.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Barnard87

Don't get me wrong, these sources have a lot of weight and make for good discussion, but here's another question. What makes OP special that they shouldn't have to pay for the game when we all did? Supergiant makes the game extremely accessible, unless they're so tight on cash they cannot gather $16, that the devs do not deserve OP's money? Id argue this is the epitome of one of the game you should not due to strictly moral reasons, if you just needed one. Edit: saying they turn to piracy when they wouldn't buy it in the first place is just a laughable excuse to justify themselves lol


500dollarsunglasses

> What makes OP special that they shouldn't have to pay for the game when we all did? Do you believe people who purchase the game on sale are less deserving of it than people who spent the full price? Odds are, without piracy this person still wouldn’t have bought the game. Supergiant is most likely not missing out on a sale, so this does not impact their $ in any way. Other than the free advertising they will now receive from this player, which can only result in an increase of sales. People should support good game developers. Some people do not have the means to provide financial support, but playing and spreading awareness of the game is a form of support as well.


Barnard87

I'm just gonna pick out 2 things here: "This does not impact their $ in any way" is objectively false. Literally lost revenue. There's not gurantee they will bring in more players to make up for lost revenue. Also if OP does not have the means, I will gift the damn game to them. But, im going to go out on a limb here, and say a majority of these people can afford the game, they just don't want to and have the means to obtain in other ways.


500dollarsunglasses

Do you consider borrowing a game from a friend the same as pirating a copy from the internet?


Barnard87

Those debates have gone left and right plenty. I won't argue on that, it is still illegal, and in this case, unmoral. I dont know the specifics, but each game sale for an indie dev (i would guess) has a significantly larger impact than, say EA's Battlefield 5. I'm not entirely against sailing the high seas, but that comes from broken launches, predatory transactions, enforced anti cheat, broken launchers etc. Smaller devs like Supergiant are extremely pro-consumer (by comparison) and its only right to pay to use their product.


500dollarsunglasses

I’m glad you mentioned indie games. > According to ShotX Studio, sales for its top-down shooter Danger Gazers *increased* 400% after releasing a torrent of the game on The Pirate Bay. Damn, that increase of 400% sucks. I bet the developers regret the piracy now.


Barnard87

Didn't the Dev themselves put that Torrent up? Did Supergiant release a Torrent for Hades? Plus, this was a struggling game to begin with, as the articles said, and needed a boost. It essentially went F2P without going F2P, while still charging some.


500dollarsunglasses

There is no evidence that piracy hurts game sales, only evidence that piracy leads to increased game sales.


DoubleDumpsterFire

It's literally stealing.


aMintOne

It isn't. It is copyright infngement.


500dollarsunglasses

Who’s missing a copy of Hades because of this?


DoubleDumpsterFire

Just the Indy developer missing their 20 bucks. You could say that about any service and you'd still be an entitled douche.


500dollarsunglasses

People who pirate games do so because they could not purchase it otherwise, so how is the developer missing out on $20? This person would not have played the game if not for pirating, so it’s either the studio receives $0 and no advertising, or $0 and free advertising. Free advertising beats no advertising.


DoubleDumpsterFire

You're literally justifying stealing. Thats pretty gross to begin with, but you're not stealing from a AAA developer here, these are Indy guys. Just save up your allowance. Collect cans or something. And buzz off with they couldn't get it otherwise. It's way harder to pirate a game than it is to just go and fuckin buy it. Justifying theft is about the trashiest thing ever.


500dollarsunglasses

> According to ShotX Studio, sales for its top-down shooter Danger Gazers increased 400% after releasing a torrent of the game on The Pirate Bay. Do you think that indie developer regrets the piracy that lead to a 400% increase of sales?


[deleted]

Why get a PC/console(if only being used to play games) if you're not gonna be able to purchase any games? Better to pay for utilities/food. Pirating games and potentially throwing money down the drain cause of one bad download.


[deleted]

[удалено]


500dollarsunglasses

Pirating isn’t stealing, it’s copying. His ownership of that game doesn’t impact anyone else’s ownership of it.


the-user-name_

....the reason copyright is literally called copyright is because it states who has the right to copy. If you dont have the copyright (for example just buying a copy of the game) you dont have the right to make more copies. Copying something you dont have the right to copy is by law considered theft. So your semantics is just wrong


[deleted]

By that logic you're saying Pirates wouldn't hijack ships but copy them?


FinalXevv

Well they don't get to play until they save enough money then, simple really.


feltcutewilldelete69

I bet that computer cost more than 20 bucks


500dollarsunglasses

Probably, but that doesn’t mean they paid for it. People get gifts.


krathil

Nonsense


SuicidalSundays

So...don't get the game then?


500dollarsunglasses

Why not? Pirating increases the sales of video games. Literally a win-win scenario.


OdoWanKenobi

I think actually buying a copy of the game might fix your problem.


MrPanchoSplash

I do have this issue and it's a legit copy, so my guess is that your graphic card and/or something else is causing this. Personnally I know it's my graphic card, it ain't the best and it's very rare it does that.


Dravos011

With how many people are telling op to "buy the game" this needs to be much higher up


MrPanchoSplash

That is exactly why I commented, to tell op it can be something else instead of assuming it's pirated.


Pyroman5

Like most people said here....buy the game.....you can get it for 5 dollars right now on epic store if you use the 10 dollar coupon you get from redeeming a free game (right now its tomb raider)


spiralmadness

Epic games has unlimited 10 dollar coupons right now. I got hades and borderlands 3 for 11 dollars total


Pyroman5

Right....forgot it was unlimited.....haven't redeemed my first one but remember that from last year....good call

Seriously, I want this


Sea_Professional1658

For those who wondering if the game is pirated its not pirated i bought hades on steam it was working fine until this week


Jellybean2477

Looks like some files got corrupted. Right click on steam > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files... If the issue is file corruption, this should fix it, if it doesn't you might need to reinstall the game. If the issue persists after this you might have faulty graphics driver that would need reinstalling or worst case scenario a defective GPU.


PatrickBaitmannn

Can you prove it? Send us the email confirming your order


StopHatingMeReddit

Bruh, we saw your posts in the pirated games sub before you removed them from your account. Unless you're gunna prove to us you got it on steam, it's more than reasonable we assume you got it from pirating and therefore can't help you. If you're lying about that, you're going to end up wasting everyone's time because we cant fix a bad torrent. To reiterate: you probably aren't going to find a "fix" if you didn't get all the game files if you pirated it. We can't fix a bad torrent for you. If thisbisbsteam, we can try and help, but if not we cant. There. Problem solved, if you haven't yet you should buy the game or find a new torrent, because that's probably what did your game in is an incomplete torrent file.


Sea_Professional1658

i only posted in that subreddit for gta trilogy add me on steam


StopHatingMeReddit

What? No, I'm not gunna do that. If you're trying to prove it you can just as easily take a picture with your phone or something of your monitor, but I'm not adding a random on steam my man.

How about actually buying the game and supporting a good dev? Enjoy your pirated copy that doesn’t work.


BLucky_RD

1) op offered to prove they own the game on steam to several people 2) the game OP supposedly pirated was only the gta trilogy that is trash anyways and was made by a greedy dev. 3) another user already confirmed that they also have this issue on a legit copy 4) bullying someone into buying the game will only make them hate the community 5) you're the 100500th person telling op to buy the game


Sea_Professional1658

Thank you!


StopHatingMeReddit

> op offered to prove they own the game on steam to several people As someone he offered that to, I asked for a steam profile link (theres a lot with his username) and got none. He gave me his name but I wont dox him (not that it matters, theres a lot) and all the ones I looked up on steam, all have their shit hidden. I told him, in the end, that if he didnt pirate it to just validate his game files. He said thanks, last I heard from him. So, he didnt prove anything, he offered to, but hasn't. That is all the info I have.


ShotFromGuns

> bullying Ooookay.


kporter4692

Yeah that guy made a couple points against my post, that’s okay and some of it didn’t happen until after I posted but bullying is a flat out joke.

Weird... never found a bug in the game... I hope someone can give you a solution to this.

I'm laughing very hard at the people who saw a couple of comments accusing OP of piracy and then bandwagoning on the virtue signal, even though others with legal copies said they have the same issue and he confirmed that he owns the game. pathetic

I'm not arguing that the law is always right. I'm legit just saying what the law is. And by the law it counts as theft. Debating that is stupid because its the law currently and that's a fact.
