Have you considered the possibility that you're just bad at it? It's not exactly easy, but it's definitely not IMPOSSIBLE.

Try getting good and see if that helps.

Dude, could it be that you're having problems with the controls because it threw me at first. For moving the code on the right you use the mouse and left click to activate. As for the code on the left, move it with WASD and activate it with enter. Keep trying dude, this is an amazing game and you'll miss out if you don't see the rest of it.

lol, just happened to me.

>look at the codes
>look at the screen and find the codes
>the codes on the screen arent moving
>put the right or left code over the non moving codes and click
>hack possible

Agree. While the other minigames are easy I'm stuck at the hacking in the first mission. Numbers are floating faster then my eyes can see them. Maybe it's coded to move with the CPU speed or something, should investigate.

I have to agree with the first post. Hacking is literally impossible. It won't let me lock ♥♥♥♥ in place and the mouse movement is hella ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ glitchy.

It's not impossible with KB/M, but you might have better luck using a gamepad. Useless bit of advice if you don't have one, I know, but the controls in general are a lot less ♥♥♥♥♥ on a gamepad.

Ignore all the numbers that are moving. The trick is to just look for the numbers that are not moving. Those are the correct codes. Once you get some practice at it, it is not very difficult at all.

I wouldnt give up if this is the only problem you are having, because it is a very good game and you do not need to hack every computer either (but it helps).

Hacking can be pretty jarring at first, but it's easy enough once you've had enough practice. :cyberdeck:

Or take it as an "hand to eye coordination" exercise that will help you on your daily life.

Like riskdesign said, the trick to hacking is not following the streams of moving letters and numbers, it's the variables that are not moving and match to the code that actually matters.

never really had problems with the hacking minigame, but acing the training exercises are a pain, especialy the shooting range to get the bonus objective
Honzou Apr 1, 2016 @ 7:37am 
JHN you wouldn't believe me if I told you but the only things needed to pass the shooting exercise is mostly doing it as fast as possible and scoring critical hits.

I did it like that and with 15 misses and still got a score of above 100.

It mazes me that the devs did not patched the game to replace this minigame with something else. I mean most users seem to hate it, with just some of them eventually finding it easy or getting used with. If this minigame doesn't kill the whole experience, it sure does away with replayability. Unless I find a hack for this hack, I doubt I'll even finish the game.
