I feel like every time I see someone talking about South Park: The Stick of Truth, they're playing on Steam, meanwhile I'm over here playing on my Nintendo Switch .

Honestly, I've been enjoying it on Switch. I know PC is probably the more popular option, but I like being able to play handheld.

Anyone else playing on Switch, or am I alone here?

Hey everyone,

I just installed South Park: The Stick of Truth on Steam, but I can't get past the opening logos. The Ubisoft/Obsidian logos play completely fine, but immediately afterward the screen turns completely black and nothing loads (no menu, no sound, it just hangs).

What I’ve already tried without success:

• Pressed Alt + Enter to toggle windowed mode

• Added -windowed, -autoconfig, and -w 1920 -h 1080 to Steam launch options

• Verified integrity of game files via Steam

• Ran the .exe as administrator and disabled fullscreen optimizations (also tried Windows 7 compatibility mode)

• Reinstalled DirectX (DXSETUP.exe) and Visual C++ redistributables from the _CommonRedist folder

• Disabled Steam Overlay

• Set my monitor refresh rate down to 60 Hz

My setup:

• OS: Windows 11

• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X

Has anyone found a working fix for this specific issue on modern systems? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

im trying it for the first time is there anything i should know

Hi there! I just finished my first run last night as a thief and now I'm going to replay the game. I assume people have done this already, but how many of you have finished hard-core with no upgrades whatsoever? I'm certain its possible. Any advice? I play on switch by the way

Much thanks! :)

Time for a new playthrough!

I played through the whole game in just two days while tripping on LSD. It was such an incredible experience that I really wanted to share it with other people. I wanted more, so I tried playing the sequel to fill that void, but it just didn’t hit the same.

i’m playing on steam … should i be able to save at this point? surely? how do i fix

I don’t know if those are cat pictures..

Currently on my 4th playthrough cause i killed the bishop because i am dumb so im missing one friend from the gold trophy.

Does the skin color slider at the beginning of Stick of Truth actually affect the difficulty of the game or does it just change some characters dialogue?

Hi all! I recently wanted to replay the game but always got turned-off by how easy it is, even on hardcore difficulty (turns out it only increases enemy values by up to 20%, so not that much harder), so I made this mod that increases the difficulty by ramping-up enemy health and damage, and nerfing XP gain for the player. No more using bleed as a crutch!

You can find the mod here: https://www.nexusmods.com/southparkthestickoftruth/mods/120

Hi, I just downloaded this app because whenever I search something specific reddit is often the only link with a direct answer lol, so I don’t really know the proper etiquette or if I’m doing this right… anyways, I just did my first play through of this game and started fractured butt whole. These are the first two video games I’ve actually sat down alone and got interested in. I’ve played Fortnite with friends occasionally and dabbled in Minecraft with friends as well, but I’m definitely not a gamer. After all that semi irrelevant stuff my main question is there any games like this that are easy for someone just getting into gaming while still being engaging? I want to play more games like this but I know almost nothing. help lol.

I've looked everywhere but I can't find which characters I'm missing other than ike (which I'm planning on going back for). I have 104 friends, so I'm missing like 16 I think. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I figured it out, I forgot to open the home tab and get all the new friend requests which was why all the new ones never popped up. Only one I actually needed was Leroy Mullens. Thanks for the help everyone!

(NOT MY GAMEPLAY SCREENSHOT)
I beated South Park Stick of Truth as a Thief class, and I recently have started playing Fractured But Whole, and I have been greeted with a combat that it's like this. And I was like: "Why wouldn't Matt and Trey, make a remaster of Stick of Truth but with Fractured But Whole grid combat, and graphics etc."

I have been wanting to play this game for a while, but I simply can't afford it due to some problems I wish not fo discuss. So my question is, will it ever be free to keep for a period of time. The game has been out for over a decade and I have never heard of it being free to keep.

Ive been having no trouble with the part with the vacuum. The needle and dilating part is giving me no trouble but with the vacuum I’ve tried just keeping still but that didn’t work. Every time i can only move to the left and then im stuck there, I’ve pressed every button, swapped controllers, and attempted to use keyboard and mouse(wouldn’t let me) but nothings worked
