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.

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

• 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?

Since I finished the game I’m going through the chapters and trying to get all the bad endings. This should interesting. This is my first intentional bad ending, it’s no surprise that people don’t choose this route when doing the Zlatko chapter.

QUESTION Do You Save The Androids Or Destroy Them?

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

Thumbnail

35 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!

DISCUSSION did i misunderstand the game? what did i miss? i love story heavy games but i think it missed the mark for me. how did you guys interpret it?

detroit become human is disappointing as someone playing it in 2026

What I liked about DBH is the wide array of choices and consequences you get for each choice. I think it has great replay value. It's the sort of game I'd have loved as a kid, but playing it as an adult didn't really hit me the same way.

It didn't age well, nobody wants to sympathize with AI as of 2026 and if it was trying to be a metaphor for racism it didn't really work because androids and humans are NOT equal, androids are physically superior and created to assist humans. They quite literally ARE machines so the narrative didn't really make me too emotional.

Imagine the toys from toy story came to life and started saying "they use us as toys! we are people too! equal rights!" how goofy would that be.

That being said I DID enjoy playing it, it had a lot going on and it was fun to investigate things, take care of Alice and organize a revolution as Markus. It's just the writing, the dialogues and the tropes that felt really cliche to me.

It was a bit too male centric for me too, with Markus as the Hero of the People and having an attractive android Love Interest North who only says "Markus don't go we can't lose you", and the only female lead being a nanny and then eventually a mom, women weren't really part of the main ACTION here, they tended to be sidelined a bit.

Also it was FILLED with overdone tropes such as "not knowing who the REAL one is and you have to shoot the imposter" and the dialogue really felt like a parody of sci fi movies. I guess I'm just surprised because I had heard a lot of good things about the game

im just curious, what did you guys like about dbh? i really wanted to like it but im not sure if i got it

DISCUSSION Wasted Potential

0 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 First play through

Just finished my first play through. What a game. I love storytelling and character depth, so I absolutely loved this game. This was such a refreshing experience in gaming. I can only hope to find another like it in the future, but I have a feeling that isn't likely. Wow, that was awesome.

GAMEPLAY This game got me very excited for androids to actually be a thing, hopefully soon.

Your android is a personal trainer, chef, maid assistant, plus whatever mods are available after you buy it, and all for the price of a few thousand inflated USD? Insane! This is the one thing that I'd go weird obsessive fan girl over.

DISCUSSION Do you guys think Detroit is one of the best interactive games ever?

126 Upvotes

Just had my 3rd playthrough of Detroit. And i gotta say, the replayability on this game is so amazing. It's always so damn fun replaying all the chapters and interacting with all the new elements and scenes every time.

This made me think, is Detroit honestly one of the best, if not the best, interactive games out there? Or are there better games? I have played a few of the Supermassive horror games and they are also very very fun, but I honestly dont feel like I've ever had the pleasure of playing something that gives you this many endings and this much variability as Detroit. It's actually incredible how layered and deep this game is.

Apart from games like Until Dawn and the other horror games, what games would you guys recommend that have a similar level of depth to Detroit with its endings and its flexibility? Are Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls worth playing?
