Well this is Unreal 4 Engine, the Pak files are Extremely (EXTREMELY) easy to reverse engineer and decompile, so i'm sure if someone really wanted to tweak and fix these things you'd see it happen.
Eh, the game's PAK file is encrypted, so it's not as easy as you're making it seem, unless you're willing to share a tutorial that doesn't require going through UE4 and checking the source code on a wild adventure to find the key, or unless you actually know what the encryption key is.

I'm trying to do the exact thing you're talking about btw, haha.

Only worthwhile source I've found for extracting the AES key from UE4 is

Not had time to test it out, looks straightforward but a bit tedious. I was hoping to find the key via cheatengine but I think once it loads the index it discards the key.

Yeah, that's exactly the same tutorial I was using. It's VERY tedious, and as far as being straightforward, it's incredibly complicated, since I know next to nothing about coding UE4, and requires a bunch of downloading and understanding different software. So yeah, I'll either wait if someone finds the key, or just take care of other projects; as much as I'd love to tinker with the actual Bioasshard project, I don't wanna wade through the mud for the encryption key.

Hi All! It's a great game, I like it so much. But it wouldn't be bad if there were some tentacle monsters or something like that with some scenes of course :)
I look forward to the next release :)

All you need is the debugger really, he already explains the relevant parts of the UE code (why it jumps) so you can skip all that. I spent a few minutes on it tonight, I did get into the right section of code, and did get some valid looking strings from the various registers, but none of them worked (trying to view .pak via UModel), so I missed it, or got the formatting wrong. Obviously, he was working on his own code so knew the key to look for so much less trial and error.

I won't waste time creating and testing my own UE project like he did, but will try again later this week to see if the key can be found, unless someone beats me to it (and kindly posts it here).

So...what are the chances we get the dog animations fixed and a save feature available by next release?
also what's the estimate time until next release?

Thanks! While that's helpful, I'm still so lost trying to understand what's going on. I've sorta dropped trying to find the key in favor of doing some translating, but I'll come back to it. If you find the key though, it'd be great to post here (well, then again, I'm not sure if Versus X would appreciate that either).

The public patreon post said the dog animations would be fixed and the save feature would be "later". I'd expect both in the next update, but don't expect an update soon, took them a year from the last one.

It can be confusing, the sample code is in C while the debugger is giving you the results in ASM with values in hex. Plus theres also conversion into base64 once you find the value that looks plausible.

have cheat ?
unlimited bullet
Why do you need more bullets? Theres more in the game that drops than is needed. Dogs have a high chance to drop them for example, plus look on the crates and under furniture. If you really need it tho, its just 4 byte value in CE, scan for number you have, fire once, rescan etc, will find it in a couple of seconds. Just increase the number in the gun mag so never have to reload either if your gonna do that.

When people say the Dog Animations are Broken, are they actually in the game? Cause iirc the dog just kills you and they don't try to do any animations, or is it just a small chance of it happening and I got unlucky, and the animations themselves are glitchey?

The animations are in the game files I beleive, not confirmed that yet, but they will never trigger in the current build as they were coded wrong. All they can do for now is kill you.

Last update was on Oct 11, any estimate on a new build release?(of any tier)
I have hope for this project, and a monthly build would be a delight.
Edit: i like this game so much i downloaded an older version just to see some of the missing animations like missionary.

Where is the Diamond Key in the mansion? I've collected the other 3 just cant seem to find that one.
Also it's not possible to kill the fat guys yet right?
Also also, is mansion the final stage as of right now?
Also also also, how to unlock more outfits? Is that just a patreon thing?
