General / Reasons to raise a lowered base ability

« Last post by FlyingKites on January 21, 2026, 09:22:08 pm »

For example, lowering strength at character creation but raising it at level four or later.

Does anybody do this? I can only think it could be done to have earlier access to some feats and then choosing feats later on after raising those abilities. I take the approach that I am going to ignore those abilities that are lowered.

Bugs / Re: Graphical Glitch With Advanced Shaders Proton/linux version of Underrail

Unfortunately I'm going to have to shelve Underrail until I can save enough for one of these 'mini pcs' that are a few hundred bucks. I ran into the post-Junkyard cinematic and the Depot B turf war, and the game crashes presumably from not enough ram.

The sprite composition button in video settings says "Allows to displaying"
it should just be "Allows displaying"

I think your PC has turned into a monolith and is attempting to communicate with you psionically.
Don't resist. Absorb the truth.

I *almost* said that flottsurmir was trying to come through my computer.

Bugs / Very strange and worrisome bug

« Last post by harperfan7 on January 20, 2026, 03:15:52 am »

I've been having some scary bugs this past week.  The game will start having strange visual bugs, like a huge square around my character fading in and out while I'm stealthing instead of just my characters silhouette, and this happens while I'm pressing tab.  Then visual assets on the screen will start to disappear, like decorations or ladders.  Then if I go to save the game, my existing save files won't have pics, just black windows.  The save will fail, then when it brings me back, I have the exit menu floating over some random shit on the screen.  This has happened twice so far.

Since the last update, any time I close the game, it freezes my screen so I have to restart my computer.  These two instances of the bug I'm talking about have both deleted the current save when my computer gets back up.  THIS time I have been making two saves every time I save so I was fine, but still this is a serious bug and I've never heard of anything like it.

The first screen showed thumbnails or something from youtube videos I had watched that day.  The second one showed some of your spritesheets.

Builds / Re: Never tried a Trapper Build Before

I think you may be trying to do to much with the talents. Skill points look good. However, I think both could be further optimized by picking either a throwing knife traps build or a crossbow and traps build. Right now you have two primary weapons and you are investing in a psi build with only one talent to support it. I would pick either crossbows and traps with Temporal manipulation to support or go with throwing knives with traps supported by temporal manipulation. Would allow you better point spread. If you go crossbows get to at least 16+ perception. if you go throwing knives go with 16+ dex.

Here is an example of a throwing build ://underrail.info/build/?HgMQCgMDBQYyAMKgACgAGm5mKCM3ZHhGRnMAAABuAABNOSYrPxZRw5NcXljCh8KINyovwrN2EuKougHiqLsD4qq8Ct-8

Bugs / Re: Razor still has no knife at one specific point in the game

Its for the best that he doesnt use his shotgun in the cabin fight; he'd hit his allies.  Shotgun AI is really bad about that.

Cruzer is smart enough to only ever AR burst when he's the only left alive, the same should - might? - technically apply to shotgun AI. Besides, there are also ways to wind up relatively isolated in the cabin, such as by killing Grimm and Cruzer first (which is exactly how I once ended up dying to an EMP nade tossed by Razor, as well as to Cruzer tossing a flashbang another time).
