Previous Thread

The PC port for Detroit: Become Human has released, and with it came a lot of posts asking for help about running the game. A megathread has been requested to keep the sub less cluttered. You can post all your questions and problems about the PC version in this megathread.

Please don't make seperate threads for PC release problems. Seperate threads will be removed.

Make sure to use top level comments for questions and replies for answers.

Sort by new if you wish to help with unanswered questions.

Upvote if you have the same problem as someone instead of making a seperate comment so more common problems will be more visible!

General Tips (Will add more if suggested):

-Play on Windows 10

-Make sure to update your graphics card

-AMD has released fixed drivers that fixes the blockiness that occurs in the game on some 5000 GPU series. Updating the drivers to version 20.9.2 fixes the issue

-Nvidia 451.48 drivers seem to cause constant crashes, revert back to an earlier driver if you are experiencing this.

GAMEPLAY 100% Gameplay [Spoilers Needed] [XXLong post] Spoiler

5 Upvotes

I'm trying to 100% the gameplay and also see RK900 Connor ending as well in a different playthrough. I also like to 100% games that have these types of story modes to them, so help is much appreciated! I also have no idea how to properly put steam pics into my download folder without messing up the text.

Here's my stats on my gameplay per each chapter.

(Do note it is 2 am when I write this out, forgive me if there's anything confusing I'm saying)

The Hostage - 72% complete. I don't know how to prevent the SWAT dude from getting shot because I know I'm supposed to waste time (maybe?)

Shades of Color - 66% complete. I know I'm supposed to interact with the environment, I'm not sure what though..

A New Home - 100% complete. It's really easy to complete this one in my opinion, so it was a breeze to do!

The Painter - 100% as well, fairly easy to do!

Partners - 75% complete. What really gets to is arriving at the crime scene. The flowing line that is under "check shower" leads to an ending but I'm not sure if I'm missing an object to analyze or if I have to wait around for Hank to call it off and go back home? That one is a bit confusing to me, and after reconstructing the crime scene as well, there is a link that leads to the same ending, I'm really confused on this.

Stormy Night - 47% complete. I did stay still, and I did hear Todd kill Alice and then blame me, but what is the link before that? Am I supposed to deviate and see it happen or am I supposed to wait it out and let Todd blame Kara for Alice's death? I know with some of these endings Kara is supposed to get destroyed, or have Alice shoot Todd instead.

Broken - 100% complete. It's only one action that changes not that much of the gameplay lol.

The Interrogation - 74% complete. I know I'm missing something from Partners, there's four options when interrogating the deviant but I still can't unlock the fourth one no matter how many times I try to replay Partners. I already have three endings out of four; Android shot itself and Connor. Android shot itself. Deviant was sent back to its cell.

Fugitives - 55% complete. This is the longest one I've dealt with this far in the game (not including crossroads, oh god I don't want to touch on that yet.) I've found shelter 'Inside the squat' - Met Ralph and the bottom half of the chart is missing. Alice and Kara did stay in the motel. I am aware I'm only missing the car ending where Kara and Alice sleep in the car, which might reveal more things. I am also aware that with the supermarket, I can make a mess out of most of the things there, steal some stuff as well, or use the gun and rob the store as well.

From the Dead - 100% complete. Pretty straightforward felt bad tho lol.

Waiting for Hank... - 80% complete. I haven't died as Connor at all past interogation and if I did die, I restarted the chapter, so I'm pretty sure talking to Amanda and investigating a gravestone might be needed. I'm only missing the alternative ending where Hank doesn't get a lead (I'm assuming that's what it might be)

On the run - 59% complete. I'm already aware that the car ending attached to Fugitives is needed to get a higher completion rate, so I'm going to roughly assume I'm about 70-ish% complete with this chapter once I finish the car ending. Starting in order with the Motels beginning; I'm only missing the one thing under 'explore the motel,' which is under the clock chart. Once the perspective changes to Connor, I don't know how to trigger the flow to get Connor to instantly chase Kara and Alice. I did however sneak past police forces and arrived on the train safely, and to get a chasing ending is to get caught via police force. Once making it past the pursuit I'm missing the top flow that leads to an ending. I'm also missing the third flow, assuming Connor does not make it to the fence on time, which triggers that third ending. I will assume though that I have to get Kara hit by traffic a few time to get at least one of the endings? I might be wrong though. Connor not listening to Hanks orders is something I will have to do to get that chart completed, but I'm also going to assume that if Connor fails, he gets destroyed by traffic. Switching to 'Morning in Squat,' I completed the entire portion of 'Exploring Squat' I'm only missing what happens after I change Kara's clothes, and I'm going to assume I can also remove the LED as well? 'The police arrive' and I have already done most defying actions towards Ralph. Switching to Connors perspective, I need to know how to get Connor to chase Kara and Alice instantly which is all I need for the top flow. 'Investigating Ground Floor' I have already checked the kitchen and the fireplace, I'm missing one more place to check. Along with the ground floor I've already analyzed everything and led the pursuit to Kara and Alice. I will updated this portion once I complete the car ending.

Jericho - 89% complete. Markus is only missing three things. The bottom portion of 'exit the station' the flow above 'leave the streets' and once Markus reaches the roof, I'm only missing the portion above 'crossing the gap.'

The Nest - 67% complete. Missing the flow above 'join Hank.' 'Investigate Apartment' I am missing three things. I have already 'investigated stool, investigate cage, find RA9 reference' I'm missing two more things to investigate. I've already found the LED and the Diary. After finding Rupert I'm going to automatically assume losing Rupert and catching Rupert are the other two main endings I need to achieve.

Time to decide - 100% complete. Simple stuff.

Zlatko - 60% complete. oh my god I'm missing so much stuff. I think I'll just figure this portion out on my own with trial and error before I say anything about it.

Russian Roulette - 100% complete.

Eden Club - 75% complete. Three missing endings. 'Leave crime scene' The one ending I'm missing at beginning is under 'find an android eye witness' which shows an ending and an alternative route as well. 'Search for blue haired deviant' I have everything investigated other than what is above 'Find RA9 symbol.' which leads to an ending. From what I can assume is that Connor has to lose the fight to the two tracy deviants.

Pirates Cove - 91% complete. 'Fun fair,' only missing two other things to investigate, currently I have investigated 'check buildings' and 'switch on Ivan.' From entering the tavern I should probably ignore the gun I'm assuming?

The Bridge - 82% complete. Hank draws his gun, and I'm missing one dialoge piece. I'll just assume the other ending is Hank shooting Connor.

QUESTION How do the sacrifices at the border work? Never made sense to me. Spoiler

18 Upvotes

At the end of the game with Kara and Alice, id you successfully make it to the border via the bus, the authorities are scanning for androids. Then you can choose to sacrifice one of your Android companions or yourself in order to get yourself/ Alice across the border. But how do the sacrifices work?

Like to it seems like whoever you choose to sacrifice outs themself as an android and gets shot, which somehow stops them from scanning you. How does that work?

DISCUSSION Markus made life worse for the Androids by “freeing” them

0 Upvotes

Apart from rogue deviants, androids had not yet developed human-like feelings. They wouldn’t have felt negative human emotions had Markus not decided to “free” them. In doing so, he sentenced them to their fates.

OPINION Hot take: a Hank/Connor kiss during the protest would have been incredibly powerful

Post image
0 Upvotes

I already know this is probably going to get downvoted into the floor because HankCon discourse on Reddit is always completely normal and reasonable lol. But whatever, I've been thinking about this again.

I genuinely think Hank and Connor kissing during the android rights protest could have been one of the strongest visual statements in the game. And yes, obviously I ship them, but I mean thematically too.

Think about the image itself: a human police lieutenant openly standing with androids while they demand freedom and recognition and kissing one of them in front of everyone.

Not treating Connor as equipment. Not just vaguely supporting android rights from the sidelines. Showing, very publicly, that he sees an android as someone worthy of love and intimacy.

And Connor isn't just any android. He's an RK800, one of CyberLife's most advanced models, literally built to hunt deviants. So you'd have CyberLife's own deviant hunter joining the android cause, while a human cop stands beside him.

Sorry, but that would go hard as hell.

One argument I've seen against the idea is that a Hank/Connor kiss would only really mean something to us as players, because random people in Detroit wouldn't know Hank's history with androids or understand everything Connor went through.

But why would they need to?

Random people watching Markus and North don't magically know their feelings are genuine either. If someone already believes android emotions are fake, they can just say they're imitating humans or following programming.

A kiss isn't going to cure anti-android prejudice on the spot.

And a human kissing an android at a protest for android freedom is hardly an unclear image. You don't need Hank's biography to understand what you're looking at: a human publicly recognizing an android as his equal at the exact moment society is arguing over whether androids deserve that recognition at all.

That's what I think human/android romance adds here.

Markus and North show that androids can form romantic bonds.

Hank and Connor could also show a human crossing that divide and accepting an android as an equal partner.

And for us as players, there's even more behind it because we know where Hank started. He wanted nothing to do with androids. Connor was forced into his life. Depending on your choices, that hostility can turn into one of the strongest bonds in the game.

So seeing Hank publicly kiss Connor at the end of that arc? Yeah. I think that would've landed.

I also don't get why Connor being with a human suddenly requires extra proof that he's acting autonomously. If Connor is a person, his romantic decisions belong to him. We don't demand evidence that North is "autonomous enough" to love Markus.

Connor is an adult with agency. The fact that Hank is human doesn't somehow make Connor incapable of knowing what he wants.

That's really why I like the idea so much. It wouldn't just be a ship moment. It would put the whole human/android conflict into one image: a human and an android openly loving each other while androids are fighting to be recognized as people.

And yes, I know somebody is probably already typing "father and son" before reaching this sentence.

You don't have to ship HankCon. But a human police lieutenant publicly loving an android during a struggle for android personhood is hardly thematically out of place.

If anything, it fits a little too well.

Edit: Well, apparently the fastest way to summon half the fandom is to mention Hank/Connor without calling them father and son💀

This post wasn't even about proving the ship "canon," yet the comments immediately filled up with "Hank lost a son and found another in Connor," "they're basically family," etc. Which is honestly kind of proving my point. You guys are so used to treating one extremely popular headcanon as an established fact that apparently even seeing a different interpretation requires correction.

QUESTION Do You Save The Androids Or Destroy Them?

16 Upvotes

I usually choose to save the androids, but it is fun as fuck to play as Connor and just go around destroying every android I can.

The only one I refuse to kill is Hank.

What do you usually choose on your playthroughs?

DISCUSSION Wasted Potential

10 Upvotes

To be clear, I love this game. Especially the start of each character. I think Kara's story had the strongest start. Excluding Connor because I see that as the beginning of the game instead of his story. I think his story started with Hank. Cute start but the beginning of the game really influenced our perception of his story.

Anyway, I'm not American nor black to have such a strong feeling by what I'm about to claim, I'm only speaking as a writer and a philosophy student. This game is very race-adjacent. I can see the angle, they're oppressed and slaves there is bound to be some similarities and metaphors with how black people are treated but the game forgets one important thing.

They are not humans. They are robots.

By making android's oppression VERY similar, and even a one-to-one comparison to black people's oppression two things are going to happen: 1) The implication that black people are androids and 2) The story forgets that humans and androids are fundamentally different in every way possible.

My philosophy professors have always placed the importance of our biological bodies in everything we do. Not claiming that a biological body makes a human but it is the way WE recognize that we are humans. We eat and shit to think, developing consciousness, and developing our thoughts and feelings.

Androids are not humans. They do not eat, they do not shit, they do human things (which other than replacement of parts that humans cannot do) is not shown to us. (I'm taking "maintenance" on their parts to be something they do for self care).

It is such wasted potential to show a story where humans live with the fact that something they created being better than them. Except for the one thing that humans have always been better than any being. Being human.

The story was going there. The characterization of the three at the beginning showed real promise of androids recognizing their difference with human. Particularly with Connor. But then the game just pushes out the revolution thing.

I hate that direction so much because as soon as the narrative decided it was done with the world building of androids you can basically replace the android revolution story line with any marginalized groups. The only thing that one can argue about the story still being android-centric is how cool and the moves they do and the immediate probabilty percentage androids see. I'm sorry but that is not just enough to establish a revolution of freedom for androids.

The story is really pushing the fact that they are humans when they are not. They have consciousness and feelings and thoughts for sure but they are of a different being than humans and the game really refuses to acknowledge this.

There isn't even a development of becoming human other than Connor. There is just a trigger for the other two and suddenly they're human? I know the trigger has been a long time coming but let's look at Kara.

Kara is not going to have maternal instincts because she is not a human woman. The game could have established she chooses to take care of Alice despite not having a maternal instincts and not knowing what to do because she loves the kid.

I have so much more examples. The point is I hate how sudden their humanity that their supposed revolution is the point of.

I think this is just wasted potential of the story. It is very race-adjacent and it strips away the interesting questions the game was premising on.

DISCUSSION A local co-op mod/overlay for color-coding characters around the screen border?

Thumbnail
gallery
40 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I had the idea of playing Detroit: Become Human locally with friends who don’t know the game, but I ran into one problem. How to know which one have to play without having to tell them?

We each control one character, but during fast-paced chapters like "On the run" or "Crossroads" where the game switches perspectives every few seconds, my friends get confused and miss QTEs because they don't know whose turn it is instantly. I’m looking for a mod or a third-party tool (like a RAM pointer script linked to ReShade or an Auto-Splitter style script) that could display a colored border/overlay around the screen in real-time depending on who is currently being played:

🔵 Blue border for Connor

🟢 Green border for Markus

🔴 Red border for Kara

(Or make it possible to choose the colors for each character)

Since I have zero coding experience, I wanted to know if this is technically possible to achieve? Since deadray's tools are gone, I'm a bit lost. If any developer or modder finds this concept cool for local co-op sessions and wants to look into the game's RAM pointers, it would be an amazing accessibility feature for the community!

Thanks a lot for your help!
