How to fix SteamWorld Build brightness issues

by

You can find some of the environments in SteamWorld Build too be too bright or too dark. To see how you can fix the brightness issue in the latest SteamWorld videogame, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first potential fix, you can try using the in-game brightness sliders. You can do so by going to the Options > Graphics menu. From there, you should be able to adjust the brightness in the City section as well as the Mine section.

2. If the brightness still looks off, then you can adjust the brightness level on your PC or console.

On the PS4, you need to go to Settings > Sound and Screen > Video Output Settings > Adjust HDR. On PlayStation 5, head over to Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output > Adjust HDR.

For the Xbox consoles, select Settings > General > TV & display options > Calibrate HDR for gaming.

If you are playing on the Nintendo Switch in handheld mode, you can try adjusting its screen brightness.

3. Of course, you can try adjusting the brightness and contrast levels on your television set or monitor as well.

4. If you are playing Steam World Build in HDR, then you can try disabling HDR to play in SDR. The brightness may end up looking better by doing so.

Make sure you disable HDR from your PC/console as well as your TV/monitor.

How to invert the camera in SteamWorld Build

by

By default, the in-game camera in SteamWorld Build will move in the same direction to where you are tilting the right analog stick. You can check out this tutorial from Seeking Tech to see how you can invert the camera controls in this city building and dungeon exploration title.

1. To start off, you need to make your way to the Options menu. This can be done from the main menu or pause menu.

2. Next, you need to select Accessibility.

3. From the Accessibility tab in the Options menu, move the cursor down to Invert Camera.

4. Make sure that the box next to it has a check mark.

5. Exit the Options menu and return to playing Steam World Build.

The camera controls should now be inverted. To move the camera to the left, you have to push the right analog stick to the right and vice versa. To move the camera upwards, tilt the analog stick down and vice versa.

Skull & Co. Skin, CQC and FPS Thumb Grip Set review

by

If you are looking for a thumb stick and/or analog cover, then you may have found the Skin, CQC and FPS Thumb Grip Set from Skull & Co. during your search. So, is this three-set bundle worth it? You can find out in this review article at Seeking Tech.

Compatibility

The Skin, CQC and FPS Thumb Grip is mainly advertised for the DualShock 4 and DualSense controller although Skull & Co. has stated that these covers should work well with the Nintendo Switch Pro controller as well.

We also tested the grips on the Xbox Series X controller and Nintendo Switch Joy-Con. While not optimal, they are usable.

Installation

Attaching the grips on to the analogs is relatively easy. In order to do so, you have to turn up the edges of the covers all the way outwards, push the middle of the cover down the analog stick making sure you align it correctly and then make sure that the edge wraps around the analog completely when you unfurl it.

It took us a couple of tries to properly install the grips. You should make sure that the edge has been completely set in place at the bottom of the analog: otherwise, the covers will easily fall off.

Grip Types

This bundle come with three grip types:

The Skull & Co. Skin Grip adds 2 mm of additional height to the analog stick. This provides the most natural feel as you should barely notice any difference when it comes to height. We used this for our DualSense analogs as the original top of the left stick started to peel off.

The Skull & Co. FPS Master Grip adds 7 mm of additional height, which the company claims to improve accuracy by increasing the movable radius by 42%.

The Skull & Co. CQC Elite Grip adds 11 mm of additional height, which supposedly increases the movable radius by 60%.

We found that the extra height added by the FPS Master Grip takes a little bit to get used to but ultimately felt comfortable with it. The taller CQC Elite Grip feels more uncomfortable for us, however, and may take even more time to get used.

As for improving the movable radius, we didn’t notice any difference. Most modern videogames already have sensitivity settings for the analog movements anyway; so, this feature seems a little redundant to us.

Summary

The Skull & Co. Skin and CQC Thumb Grips are both good replacements if you happen to damage the analogs of your DualSense, DualShock 4 and/or Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers. The FPS Thumb Grips are more uncomfortable when compared to the other two due to the added height.

We didn’t notice any performance improvements when it comes to the supposed increased moveable radius.

Since you get three pairs of covers in a relatively affordable set, we recommend picking this product up if you are looking for analog covers. Just don’t expect them to improve your gaming performance too much if at all.

If you are interested, you can purchase the Skull & Co. Skin, CQC and FPS Thumb Grip Set on Amazon with this link (#CommissionsEarned).

How to fix UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II Sys:Celes input lag issues

by

You may encounter some input lag while fighting in UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II Sys:Celes. To see how you can potentially fix the latency, you can check out this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first potential fix, you should double check to see if you have Game Mode (or a similarly name mode) enabled as doing so will reduce the input delay.

2. We also recommend that you play the 2D fighting game with a connected controller as it should be faster and more stable when compared to wireless.

On the PS5, make sure you enabled USB communication by going to the console’s Settings menu and then selecting Accessories > Controller (General) > Communication Method > Use USB Cable.

For the PS4, open the console’s Setting menu and then select Devices > Controllers > Communication Method > Use USB Cable.

3. By default, UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II has Vsync enabled. While this prevents screen tearing, it also adds to the input lag.

To disable it, open the Option menu in the game and then select System. From the System Settings screen, make sure that Vertical Sync is set to Off.

4. Return to the Option menu and then head over to the Game section.

From the Game Settings screen, move the cursor down to Input Lag (Network Mode). It should show the following description:

Configures the input lag in Network mode. The lower the value, the more likely screen rollback will occur.

The default value of the Input Lag (Network Mode) setting is 2. You will be able to change it within a range of 1 to 4. After changing the value, test it out during an online match to see if the controls feel more responsive.
