As you may or may not know your game still has some glaring issues and I hope this thread will help you to locate some bugs and hopefully fix them. First of all though: The new maps are absolutely fantastic!

Now let´s talk business:

• Having reddit-clothes equipped crashes the game for the host (Credit goes to Dobrein and his friends for finding, testing and confirming this)
• Having a custom game consisting of everyone playing Thelma and having the custom rules set to Instagib, Quick Cooldown, No Items and Kung Fu Bonus crashes the game for players (not the host)
• A rare bug where a player would be perma stunned after being hit with a thrown object (stunning throw mutator enabled)
• A rather annoying bug that plays soundeffects from the new maps even in the lobby and sometimes overlaps them (dual piano, roaring mega-spider)
• Throwing Lord Edmunds flask while sliding on a wall makes the flask explode on you

I hope this will help you improving a truly unique and good game. It would also be nice if players from EU could play together without some people lagging like they´re from Japan. It would also be nice getting actual patches instead of digital hats that cost 5€/$ each.

Kind regards

I had to leave the game and check all around the house. Needless to say, the team I was on lost due to my absence. I checked the bath (the most obvious place), under the bed, the wash basket, all sinks and buckets where one might have fallen, but I couldn't find any spiders.

This was too weird, I swear I could hear one roaring. Every few seconds, one of those obnoxious little bastards was letting out their distinctive spidery roar, as if trapped, but no matter where I looked I could not find one. Then it hit me, these weren't the usual spiders in my house roaring, these were the game's spiders! They even continued to roar once the game was over, prompting another fruitless search for spiders before I noticed.

Please, read my tale of woe and take the spider roaring effects down a notch, it is simply too realistic. ]]> Showdown Effect (The) ftookl http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?688365-Sound-on-Fort-Fiesta http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?687699-Still-missing-Deluxe-Edition-Pre-Order-Please-Help!!&goto=newpost Fri, 10 May 2013 06:50:21 GMT I'm still missing my pre-order stuff and i got the game long time ago when it first came...well before it did can someone please help me with this issue.

A casual glance through the Steam forums will show that many people who have expressed an interest in The Showdown Effect, have also declined from purchasing it, due to a lack of single player support. This hesitation can be attributed to a myriad of factors, namely a jaded fear of an eventual decline in online groups to play with. There are also those who merely desire to be able to play the game offline. In the case of the former, there have been many fun multiplayer games that started strongly with interested players, but consumer attention is fickle, and a heavily saturated game market can easily lead to a drop in the number of people playing online. There are also those who simply dislike online multiplayer games, as many people prefer to enjoy their gaming as a solitary form of entertainment.

Investing the time and effort into adding AI opponents, could also make it so that players could start games without having to wait for other people to show up, or hope to luck into a joinable lobby. I am aware that from its genesis, The Showdown Effect was conceived, and marketed as a multiplayer experience. With that said, it is also a very fun game that would appeal to most gamers, and not merely those with a yen for competitive gaming. Going further, a single player mode would help new players to familiarize themselves with the controls, and the nuances of gameplay. Most people don't enjoy being dropped into an arena with seasoned veterans, and continuous trouncing could easily discourage them from playing. These are issues that can be found in all multiplayer games, but many of these games offer single player modes to keep people interested.

I am certain that none of these points would come across as news to the developers, as I'm sure they made a calculated decision as to where to take their game. I'm also aware that there are budgetary concerns to consider when adding a new mode to an existing product. It is simply my hope to remind the devs that they could garner an even larger fan base if they were to consider adding a single player option. The addition of AI opponents could also significantly benefit those of us who enjoy online multiplay. ]]> Showdown Effect (The) Auslander66 http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?687685-Request-for-Single-Player http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?687454-League-Of-Showdown-Effect&goto=newpost Wed, 08 May 2013 23:38:32 GMT Hi im Hofi and im starting a new league. It will be a double elimination European league, Unless there's enough interest for a North American one then i will run a North American one at a later date. I will be streaming the entire League myself so i wont be participating.
the rules that are set in stone are. You can not have double characters aka you can't have two hank's or double any other character's
in your team. Okay so that's the rules set in stone. Experimental rules will be you can only have 2 of each weapon so max 2 swords max 2 rifles etc. That however is not set in stone, But a team of only rifles and swords would be quite boring for the audience.

To sign up for the league post your interest here.

And if you have any questions ask away in this thread ]]> Showdown Effect (The) Hofi http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?687454-League-Of-Showdown-Effect http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?687394-Twitch-Error-Intel-failed-encoder-init&goto=newpost Wed, 08 May 2013 17:19:12 GMT Since the searchfunction didn't give me any results on my problem I'll create a topic myself:

I bought this yesterday and instantly tried broadcasting. It works fine for about 10 seconds but stops after that. If I check the Twitch-menu it says 'starting' and then 'Error: Intel failed encoder init'.
I tried verifying the integrity of game cache using steam, nothing happened. I also tried streaming in all quality-settings but the same error occurs over and over. Reinstalling the game completely didn't help either.

Streaming on twitch using XSplit has worked fine before so I'm wondering what's wrong.

Thanks in advance. ]]> Showdown Effect (The) LunaticOnMeth http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?687394-Twitch-Error-Intel-failed-encoder-init http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?687390-To-Paradox-Steam-CD-Key-not-working-and-Deluxe-stuff-not-available&goto=newpost Wed, 08 May 2013 16:58:30 GMT I bought the game The Showdown Effect Digital Deluxe, but the when I try to enter the CD-Key, it says it's invalid and 2 of the extra things, which I should have are missing :

NEW YORK — May 7th 2013 — Paradox Interactive, a publisher of games and writer of checks their bodies can’t cash, today unleashed a monstrous content update for The Showdown Effect, the ridiculously explosive multiplayer action title from Arrowhead Game Studios. Featuring new stages, characters, and costumes, the update is available today for free to all players of The Showdown Effect.

For gamers who are not players of The Showdown Effect, Paradox offers two suggestions on how to become players of The Showdown Effect: defeat a current player in a sword duel and absorb their immortality and game collection, or purchase The Showdown Effect in today’s Daily Deal on Steam at a hefty discount.

Witness the Western Sci-fi Espionage Explosion Chaos Action Insanity in a new trailer:


In today’s update players receive two new levels, South Eastwood and Fort Fiesta, inspired by classic ‘spaghetti Western’ films – with an unhealthy dose of 1980s monster movies mashed into the mix. The levels are available for free and will be immediately available to pick in both ranked and custom matches. Players will also meet two new characters: Thelma Vaine, British super-spy with a cloaking device and a sharp tongue – and Dr. Johnny Bionic, a cyborg who must fight every day to keep his drill-saw-arm from murdering all humans. These characters, plus a series of Reddit costume pieces, can be redeemed for free using in-game AC. An additional set of Western costume pieces can be purchased for a fistful of dollars.

A streamdown effect will occur on Paradox’s TwitchTV channel on May 7th at 8 p.m. CEST (11 a.m. PDT, 7 p.m. BST, 6 p.m. GMT) to show off the new stars, stuff, and strangeness.
