Hi, I was planning to play the Fusion Co-op mod with my friend, but every time we tried to connect to each other, we encountered the same problem. Some mods started downloading with a message saying that I needed to download the same mods the host had. The issue is that we already had the same mods from the beginning. After the mods finished downloading, I got stuck in a cycle of the game closing and reopening infinitely. I tried deleting the mods, but the next day, other mods started redownloading—mods that I actually need. I don’t know what to do. Maybe one of you knows how to fix this problem?

What’s your take on this?

At this point, the fate of Sam is really uncertain. Croteam has been leaning more towards Unreal Engine 5, there’s been 0 Sam announcements and with all this, I feel like it’s time for a proper conclusion. But how to do it? I feel like the best way would be to make it into a retro shooter. Hear me out! The series has been on an identity crisis since TSE and a lot of fans have been demanding a more classic experience. Since I and a lot of the other fans feel like, that the “realistic” take of Sam 3 and especially Sam 4 doesn’t really fit the series’ vibe and Serious Engine 4 has been a failure on most accounts (I mean, even Siberian Mayhem, which was great, had many complaints and almost all of them were an engine issue), why not finish “The Third Encounter” and give the series a conclusion a lot of fans would crave??!! I mean, there is still a big market for retro shooters and I’ve even seen some made on modified versions of old engines (Wrath: Aeon of Ruin is a good example), and well, since Serious Engine 1 is open source, why not give Timelock the go ahead to do, what Croteam didn’t all those years ago??!! Hell, they could even make 2 versions: one for Serious Engine 1 and one for 3.5. It could be a great opportunity to revive Fusion and finally finish it.

Can anybody please help me to fix this errorr: [Codex.error An internal error has occurred while loading the configuration file!] It is the error text when i open the game from desktop shortcut and when i open the game from game installation folder a dark screen shows up for 1 second and game won’t start and sometimes steam app will open with No License message. My gpu is rx 6600 xt and i did all possible compatibility settings and antivirus exclusion and creating manually scripts file, log file last line is loaded directx 9, and i also played serious sam hd first encounter without any problem in the same system. I tried fitgirl and plaza version but still the same!

I bough the first encounter on steam and got the second encounter and classics revolution for free, is this normal?

I’ve been playing this game on Normal difficulty, and honestly, I got stuck in a few parts that felt borderline impossible. The enemy spawns seem really excessive and chaotic—I couldn’t even track where they were coming from half the time, and I ended up dying a lot. It didn’t feel challenging in a good way, just overwhelming and frustrating , and no im not going to the difficulty below normale .

Did they actually playtest the game before release? Or is it just me struggling with this?

Curious to hear if others had the same experience.
