Horizon Forbidden West: Complete Edition Message Board  

Exactly this.

So, Cal, mate, if according to your testing everything is fine and dandy, and everyone else is having an issue with changing shards, there are two options:

1. Your testing was sloppy.
2. The trainer file you use is different from the file we use.

Either way, the trainer does NOT work as intended.

option will be removed thanks for your feedback

best,
Cal

Video of it here working and how I used it to test. I have 1000 other things to do today, so I hope taking time to make this wasn't "sloppy"

Try picking up a shard or using a shard to craft..

I just posted a video of it working, so I have nothing else to add.

And it will be removed since nobody sent any save games that supposedly I could use to repeat this and all I got was a snotty d*ckish post about my sloppy habits from somebody who (I suppose) is too lazy to send a save game with clear instructions on how to reproduce their issue.

So be it.

best,
Cal

Okay, it looks like it's not that it doesn't work at all. It seems to be behaving oddly.

I'm actually going to include a save file, in addition to that I'll give you my observations and steps to recreate the issue I see. Unlike some people.

If you load up my save you'll see that I have 6,429,428 shards. This is from me finding the value in CE and changing it before. I changed the value using the trainer from 6,429,428 to 6,429,828. I then went inside The Base and if you follow the curved room around to your left you'll find a container that can be opened. Inside was 76 shards, for me at least. It might be a different amount when reloaded? I'm not sure how the game sets them and if save scumming is even a viable tactic for this game.

Anyway, I set the shards to 6,429,828 and then picked up the 76 shards giving me a total of 6,429,904. If you open my weapon wheel you will see that all my ammo is full save for one type, should be plasma bolts (bottom center-right of the wheel). They cost 15 shards to make the bolt pack, along with some other stuff. The amount next to my shards in this window is 6,429,504. Less the 400 I added before. My inventory screen will still read 6,429,904. I then crafted a set of plasma bolts, using 15 shards. On the weapon wheel my shards value decreases to 6,429,489. In my inventory my shards value decreased to 6,429,889.

I set my shards to 8 in the trainer and deposited 20 of my 24 Advanced Hunter Arrows into my stash. I then crafted my way back to having a full quiver of 24. Weapon wheel says I have 6,429,459 metal shards. My inventory screen says I have -22 metal shards. It would appear that the trainer is changing the display value in the inventory screen, and not the actual number of shards being carried by the player. Or that's my conclusion, at least, I admittedly do not have a solid background in coding and I struggle with this stuff. I've followed numerous guides and never been able to successfully find the pointer for a value using CE in any game I've played. So I'm not great at this stuff.

Thanks for the hard work though, the trainer is really helping me enjoy the game and I'm happy to have it, regardless of the opinion of some other users.

OK not sure if it is just me but in Aurora it says numberpad 9 for "Invisible" and you get the sound "activated" but that doesn't seem to work all the time. Sometimes it works and others not.

Mate,

I get that you're stressed. Running your own business is anything but easy, and I understand that this issue isn't particularly high on your list of priorities.

That's all well and good, but meeting your customers' concerns about your product with snarky quotation marks is what I was being "snotty" about.

By the way, in your video you were reproducing the issue yourself without noticing. Therefore I'll say it again, the upper number your were pointing to in your video is just cosmetic and didn't match the number in parentheses above the words "Metal Shards" and next to the "25" you were so concerned with. That number indicates the amount of shards the game is actually working with, and when you are at 0 and use the trainer option, you still can't buy anything.

So, I attached a save file with 35 shards. Please, use your trainer option and see if you can buy anything in-game that costs more than 35 shards. Bet you can't.

On that note, good night and good luck.

Smurf, out.

It works as long as the enemy you are killing doesn't die in visual range of another enemy NPC, and enemies can't be on high alert already when you use the option.
