The version number of that file is the exact one i used with which all these bugs occured.
So is there a new version or not or did the dev change things but didn't number it appropriately ?
Yes
Unreal Engine Bioasshard Arena [v1.0.241 R3] [VersusX]

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I think the game is actually coming along nicely in certain ways. The devs improved many things since the beginning. This release alone has CQC/physical kill system, a dodge ability, two new missions (albeit just the same rehashed areas but with frustrating mission demands), exploding heads, "improved" jiggle physics, and improved physics (e.g. the zombies can't hit you by swiping at air). Aesthetically, the game is excellent. It visually looks sorta like a Skyrim modder's paradise, but in a genre that many, many gamers want yet is the only one of its kind (a functional and developing 3rd person shooter RE game).
I think my gripe is that the bugs and level design are huge problems. And the slow, slow pacing is another, since we have to wait about half a year per update, meaning this game will literally be finished (if ever) in 2024 or so. Yes, I've known from the beginning that the devs are a two-person team. It's understandable, but it doesn't mean that that's not a problem. And as much as I think getting a foundation for the game set up (e.g. mechanics) is essential, I think the devs would be wise to give the community what it wants - more anims/enemies/characters/items, as well as a virtually bug-free and frustration-free (due to level design and lack of a save system) playthrough - rather than focus on the visuals. As I, and you, have said before, if I have to start over and waste hours of my life due to those aforementioned problems, I'd be pissed no matter how good the game was.

They kinda said quite a few times that the save system would be implemented after all the basic mechanics, to avoid having to fix it up everytime they add new things.3 month since last update and they were lazy to put a *ducking* saving system in? The arena has 4 mission now all of them are super long. If they don't put any saving probability in the next patch I'm done paying for them.

Where do you find the shards down there and most importantly the box? I found 3 shard. The dog/zombie drop one (I don't know what dropped it), the table one on the end and the cieling one. But where is the box?

Mission 4 is the biggest amount of bullshit I've ever experienced as purposeful game design. To complete it you need to get 3 fuse thingies, then go all the way down the longest spiral stairwell imaginable (btw one of the fuse thingies is down its own spiral stairwell) then turn on the elevator (You cant ride it cuz fuck you). THEN YOU NEED TO SHOOT FUCKING INVINCIBLE BARRICADES SO THE GREEN LIGHT THINGY SHINES THROUGH ALL THE OTHER PYLONS... WHAT THE FUCK. All of that without any hints of what you're supposed to do OR WHERE TO FIND THESE FUSE THINGIES IN THIS HUGE ASS MAP IT TOOK ME 2 FUCKING HOURS. Wonderful. Seriously fuck these devs.

Honestly, only illusion game that's ever drawn me in somewhat is the Artificial Academy series. Its unfortunate that, at least so far, it seems Koikatsu might basically be replacing it, though I REALLY hope we get an AA3 at some point in the future with some big gameplay improvements. If I wanted to just play a sex simulator, I'd just go watch porn honestly lol.
Are you sure you are old enough to be on this forum?

This definitely has a lot of good points in it. Having prior knowledge of certain levels, the game REALLY isn't bad at all, its just how ridiculously frustrating it can be when you don't know where certain key items are, and they aren't really placed in a way at times that is obvious to the eye or well led to. Though, the biggest issue still for sure is when you have to leave/game crashes and you lose all your progress back to the start of that mission, which in the cases of mission 2, and ESPECIALLY 4 the first time you play it, is pretty painful. Frankly, I hope they just do more things like the start of mission 1, or mission one in general as a whole minus the forest area is pretty good. The sewer survival bit is fun with the new added mechanics, and the mansion overall while not great, is actually pretty fun in terms of how its laid out. I'd say mission 2 would be similar... but the poor placement of certain items, and the manhole being near uninteractable if you don't view and stand at just the right angle REALLY make it a pain to play through.
The heavy action pacing in three, and it being a generally more focused level where you just get to toy around with the mechanics (minus the really annoying hidden zombie, or general hidden zombies you have to kill to progress) is really shaping up, and in all honesty, I'd just be happy with this becoming something of a "Mercenaries" but lewd game, with more focus on action than a lot of the more survival/puzzle elements. Even Mission 4, for as poor a first play it can be, has some really cool ideas in it. I like the light puzzle overall, even if its nothing too indepth or makes you really think, its still a neat little experience, especially getting to go through the caves in a way where you can see where you came from, and where you are going. Interconnectedness in general is always fun, and at least when it comes to older resident evils with shortcuts and the like, is a huge thing, so I'd honestly love for them to somewhat focus on or include elements such as those in the future.
The two biggest suggestions I could give though going forward into the future, or things I'd just like them to think about really is either having someone join for free just to test the builds before they come out, since their PC doesn't seem capable of doing so, to help ease a lot of what are relatively easy bugs to find. Would really smooth over peoples frustrations a lot frankly, even with it being basically alpha, the combination of bugs/crashes and no checkpoint save system being implemented (save for on death) really hurts the game and just makes it feel like a waste of time to play at times, same with just how much running there can be in certain areas of the game.
The other thing is they REALLY need to think about just the kind of scope they want for this game. I'm all up for them still adding a male protag and female enemies for said protag, and even multiple female/male protags in general, but I feel they should at least, before doing so, finish up what they have now and make a releasable game for 'not Jill', then move onto focusing on expansions with other characters, or just other games for them entirely. They'd have much of the basics already done by the time they finish one, so they could simply focus on polishing future experiences, and I think it'd make for overall better products then them simply trying to shove everything into a single game, as with as small a team as they have it'd simply take way too long, or require too many compromises imo.
Regardless, I think the game has done a lot to move in the right direction, and is pretty niche in itself since its basically catering to RE fans of the over the shoulder titles, but that niche aspect of it, and hell, the fact that its even a third person shooter with some sort of lewd/pornish aspect to it at all in terms of gameplay is a VERY rare thing. The closest thing I can think of to this is the Left 4 Dead pardy/inspired one where you play as a male protag, which usually just doesn't work for me in a game, plus the added fact it has gore/guro really killed my hopes for that game. I'm just hoping to see this project succeed down the line, and quite frankly I think that visually its fine right now with some small tune ups, so the more they focus on gameplay/polish from here on out, and of course animations, the better, really curious to see what they are planning to add on to the sex attack system and what animations that will require as that's something they mentioned before.

There is an updated post with a fixed version that doesn't crash on mission 3. If its not on here, which I think it has been updated by now, you can find it on their blog/patreon or just download from the new links they provide there.

At least they added two fully new maps for mission 3/4, but yeah, I could do with NEVER seeing the forest stage ever again. Genuinely if they focus on more linear stages, like RE5/6 are all about, they'd solve a lot of their issues, and definitely focus more on the action side like in mission 3 as opposed to anything else. This game style shines best with tense/overwhelming amounts of enemies in general, and giving you a myriad of ways to handle those situations as RE4-6 are basically just about crowd control.
Speaking of walkthroughs though, I'd be all up for writing one or even videoing one if my rig allows for it, and enough people really are interested. I've played enough to at least know where the key items all are now.

Another game which was pixels and Biohazard Progeny had a system where you could just have enemies do sex attacks; tbh everything takes too damn long, you have to strip her as well. The first level is just boring and saves should be far more often just due to the nature of the game crashing, which I had occur and made me quite annoyed.
I don't even know how to acquire the handgun, some of the objects I can interact with is glitched and what does the fox card do exactly? Nothing is stated (Where the hell do you get the handgun as well?).

Its the first thing you see in Mission 1. Just tilt your camera down a bit to see it

Its right at the start of the game. Will say, a lot of objects tend to require you to at least look somewhere in their general direction to interact with them. Used to much more jankier, with the exception of the manhole, which is impossibly janky in mission 2 trying to interact with it.
As for the card, type in the full code in caps, including the - into the code prompt that you can access from the title screen. It should give you access to customize the character/name, and allow you to unlock the unlockables to further customize her.

I think it (fox card) lets you edit your character or it gives you bonus items at the start, I can't remember which is which and as for your weapon (handgun) when you spawn in on the first level there's a desk you are looking at with a whole lot of kit on it, it's one of these items.

Right... why do people thinks that making a game where advancing is more of a chore than having fun, instead of having a fun game?
Yes you can shoot zombies in the first level since you start with the gun but then you are bog down to the mansion where unless you know where to look you have no idea where items are due to the overal darkness, plus you are forced to kite invincible fatmen around and around because "resident evil always had the invincible guy which chases you".
At least in the actual resident evil i can understand where i want to go, where i am and the chasing guy isn't where key items are, except for some occasions (like when you have to move ada in the second)
