yep don't worry its not sus or anything, just what the crack developer used to bypass the games auth iirc
Copy the audioSeS.dell to DeltaZone/Binaries/Win64 there will be the DeltaZone-Win64-Shipping game and it tells me fatal error! I delete the audio.dll and use the other dxgi.dll crack and it gives me the same error, is there something I am doing wrong or stress crack no longer works with the V16?

I've used the AudioSeS.dll too, in the same folder you have it.

I use V17 though, and run the game via the .exe that is at the root before the DeltaZone folder.

Have you tried to run it via this .exe?

If I've already done it and I'm getting the same error, are you using the V17 version of the game? Where can I download it and what crack did you use?

V17 leaked on here after it was released to Patreon but was never fully linked as its classed as "Online" as it calls back to his Servers.

I used the exact same crack though.

Just check you don't have DevolutionUserID-crack.lic file in (GameDir\DeltaZone) or x2 .json files (lastID.json & weatherPreset.json) in (GameDir\DeltaZone\Content) as these need deleting after opening the game every time.

I've already looked and I don't see any of those files what you told me

Maybe try opening the game without the crack files, and play it in the censored mode, and then close.
And put the crack files back in and try again.

Other than that no idea

It may also be that my laptop is not compatible with the game, maybe that's why I'm getting an error, a question is there a save for this game?

"No excuses for him" he says, while still voluntarily paying 50 bucks for his Investor tier.
Sure thing bud.
And let me guess, You used the pirated version......if people invest money, they expect new contents and at least a changelog updated on the day of the release, not when "I'll post it when I have time"....by the way, mind your business, please, if you are not the owner of the game or an investor bigger than me, thank you!

Congrats, you have guessed wrong.
And if you have a problem with how the Dev does, why are you not talking with him about it?
If you are such a great investor, then he will certainly listen to you to make sure that you keep paying him the big bucks, right?

Last two times it was 3 months.

16->17 = Aug -> Nov (3m)
15->16 = May -> Aug (3m)
14->15 = Feb -> May (2m)

What roadmap? The one that was previously in the game at some point (pre-hideout) and is now somewhere (haven't played v17).

Not sure why they'd release Lazerzombies to Steam. I've played through it for the first 7 levels and its pretty bad overall. Untextured levels, maximum 3 enemies per zone, mandatory 1st person platforming with instant death falls, one weapon, very simple level design (like even simpler than Portal), no music and very few sound effects.
The one on Patreon, yes the one pre-Hideout. If I were to believe that it still is the framework that Devolution is based on it's porbably gonna be a year or a half until we get a working game. Lazerzombies to Steam is one of the steps that is listed on there.

I can't say for certain because I don't exactly know what is going on in there, but..
I do think it's telling that the communication for this game has completely retreated behind the paywalled discord.
Frankly, I don't even mind the game per se, but the updates come really slowly and when they do drop there's
still no real core gameplay so there's usually not much reason to check it out.

As far as I know LazerZombies has been abandoned, and likely won't ever get finished. Probably because income picked up faster than expected for DeltaZone, and as such, no longer needs the funds from LazerZombies to continue development of DeltaZone.

Source =

Project started out in Jun 2021, at about $700 a month. So if you see in Nov 2021, they were earning $1,800 a month. Then they had a spike, to $4,700 the next month in Dec 2021, and it hasn't dropped below that amount since then. In April 2022, it did drop to $3,300, but that is the lowest its been. If it had stayed at $1,800 a month, its conceivable, they'd need the funds from LazerZombies to keep development going, but as its spiked all the way now to $6,900 (with a highest peak of $9,300 in Feb 2023), its unlikely they need the money from LazerZombies and so any time spent working on it, isn't time spent working on the project making bank.

=====

As far as development speed goes, 1 year is best case scenario. A more conservative value is 3 to 5 years.
1] There isn't any replayability as zones are exactly the same each time you enter them, with no random placement of containers, enemies, or special events.
2] There are still massive gameplay bugs that have been in the game since Release 13 that have not been fixed. Like how Composite guns are actually worse than Modern guns in almost every way for the player.
3] Enemies still cheat a lot. Yes, there are elements of stealth and proper gameplay for the player, but it isn't always sufficient to prevent their cheating.
4] Enemies aren't bound to the same problems the player is. We have a bionic hand, and yet we have arm fatigue, but enemies with no bionic hand have no arm fatigue. Enemies can fire full auto without jamming, but we can't, not even with a full composite. Enemies have unlimited ammo and can spray/pray, etc etc etc.
5] Enemies have actual armor that actually reduces damage from bullets. We have cloth, that does nothing and it shows. 1 Bullet from a corporate will nearly kill you in full corp gear, but it takes almost an entire clip to the head to kill a corporate.
6] Sex is nonexistent for a porn shooter.
7] The customization of character mentioned in the roadmap, like cyberware upgrades or armored tits or facial reconfiguration or at least face paint, is still not in.

Game has come leaps and bounds from what it was in 2022, but it has a long way to go before I'd call it a game worth playing for longer than 30 minutes.

This game is "the one that got away". We hyped it up because it felt like a niche was finally getting filled and that this one was maybe the unique time that a game would actually come out on top.

Even as a non-supporter you'd feel betrayed as fuck. I'm done covering for this game tbh. It feels like shit, when a game you really rooted for just sucked in the end. "Solo dev", sure and all, but this all feels like Devolution is just milking the fuck out of this game with updates that feel soulless and where the minimum is just barely hit so that we keep hoping that the next update will actually be good. The copium that just I have every day I check this thread is insane. If Devolution even stays and doesn't pull a Milfy City on us, I don't think he'd even go for round 2 or even support it past 1.0 or maintain it after.

It feels like a fever dream, where every update just feels like it does nothing and we keep opening the fridge hoping a giant cake will pop out. I pray for this game because I don't think it'll last this year.

Definitely agree. I'm all fine with a game that prioritizes gameplay over porn... if the gameplay is good. But it hasn't been good for a long time. I think I actually had more fun with the cardboard cutouts, because there shooting body parts actually did something. And we didn't have arm or leg fatigue. Or cyberpsychosis that doesn't add anything to the game. Or any number of poorly designed mechanics. But when the gameplay isn't good, I'd prefer the game prioritized the porn. And lately the past few updates I don't even really know what the focus is. Its certainly not porn, or gameplay, as bugs/issues have been reported for several releases now and still aren't fixed. Honestly, I think they spent more time on DRM this release, than anything else.

Some solo devs can create good gunplay. Despite how bad the AI is in the Ghostship games, at least the guns are punchy and often responsive. And despite lacking next gen graphics like Delta Zone, it has better atmosphere and story design. But no porn, so yeah.

Yeah Devolution is turning into another Mithos (developer of Sorceress Tale), where they milk the fans but don't produce really anything of substance for years, then reinvents the wheel and throws out everything.

I dunno if the minimum is being hit. Minimum for me is if the bugs and issues get fixed. If they are getting ignored, like often is the case with QA for AAA games, its not minimum required effort. As long as the stuff that is causing gameplay issues in current content is getting addressed, I'm a lot more forgiving of solo developers. But when they get reports and do nothing with them for months, I often find myself getting quite caustic and impatient.

The game is a long way away from V1.0. It doesn't even have a success state, and most games need one.

Well, like GLADOS likes to say, "the cake is a lie", and in this case it is quite true.

Already out. Is not getting (officially) uploaded and promoted here due to site rules.
For those that need further info on that:
The Official Game Rules said:
3. Multiplayer or online games are not allowed.
  1. Games with online features (update checks, leaderboard, etc) are allowed as long as they can be played offline. A note about it and instructions on how to block the internet connection must be added to the OP.
With the new update the game checks your nsfw code (or cracked version) online. And I assume that therefore it can no longer be considered 'offline playable', because no nsfw = no sense.
I predict that in future versions it either gets changed by the dev (as nobody likes DRM) or a new crack will be able to avoid that (thus making the 'cracked version' viable on this site).
