I've been playing through a lot but there so many issues. Gamepass version so here we go:
There are more but that's just off the top of my head. But, despite all that I am enjoying it.
- Weapon hud disappears when fast traveling
- Mission enemies dont spawn
- Guns disappearing
- RTX doesnt work
- Waypointing system is straight trash
- Game doesnt tell you, you cant do a mission cause you dont have an area unlocked
- Fov is dog ****, hard to hit enemies because of that and some camera angles
There are more but that's just off the top of my head. But, despite all that I am enjoying it.

I am not able to change RTX settings on my Steam version. But, it sure looks like it is working in game? Am I missing something? (See my screenshot). Is it working or not? If not, it sure looks good anyway…

Needs to be set to DX12. Probably a game restart too after that.
DX12 takes forever to buffer, even on my system. It's too buggy in this game and RTX doesn't really add much to the visuals. Not worth the pain, DX11 is fine.

Its not worth it yet in this game for sure, but the lighting is definitely much prettier. The reflections are ok, and i dont get the point of the ray traced ao, but the lighting is definitely nice.
I had older Nvidia drivers is why I couldn't get ray tracing working. I tried different settings and agree it isn't really worth the hit. The lighting was improved. But sometimes too much as they lights were blinding at times. Realistic, but not so useful in this game. It performs OK until the action starts and then frames dipped. Not what you want in this game. I went back to settings that have a locked 60 FPS again. It still looks great.

These poor devs. I think they're a team of just 11 people... gotta feel for them.
The Ascent's Latest Update May Have Broken The Game Even More
The Ascent's Latest Update May Have Broken The Game Even More
Yeah, I ran into a bug that prevented me from finishing a mission (was one of those "defend an area for 3 minutes"). I defended the area, barely survived, then...nothing. Ran around for 5 minutes looking for a stuck enemy but found nothing. Ended up having to exit the game and try again. Ugh...
12 hours in. This game is the bee's knees. Shame on anyone who says otherwise.

Its a great game but youre playing it now in the best state its probably ever been.
That is a good coping mechanism for your shame.
