Unreal Engine Delta Zone [v22.1 Hotfix] [DEVOLUTION]

[lnomsim]

Second impression:
- I like the arousal system, plus being approached for sex if naked
- loading times are still mind-blowing and incomprehensible and reprehensible
- I HATE, absolutely hate, loathe, despise the new gunplay system

Seriously, devolution, 30 BULLETS OF .45 APC DOES NOT MERELY INCAPACITATE UNARMORED PERSON!!! IT **KILLS** THEM.

FFS! I spend my entire mag on a scav that has no armor, from point blank, shooting him while he was still "incapacitated", only for him to then get up and one-fucking-shoot me!!! How the fuck is this possible?

Does this guy have NO FUCKING IDEA of ballistics and stopping power? .45 in this game performs like the old Tokarev 7.62x25mm. Actually, I would dare say that Tokarev ammo performed better IRL than .45 does in this game (the iconic famous PPSh-41 was using Tokarev ammo and worked well). The name of the dev fits, this game is going BACKWARDS, devolving in terms of gunplay.

The problem is that gunplay is the basis of this game, with it's not working right everything else is fucked up too.

I'm being nice and not pointing at scavs or shooting them cause I want good relations, then some asshole just comes and one-shots me and robs me. Worst part is that even the friendly scavs will scream "I will kill you!" in laughably, pathetically bad Russian (actual Russians are probably cringing af while playing this game and listening to what the voice-actors did to their language, hell, I'm not Russian and I'm cringing hard); so you can't know which one will go all homicidal on you and which one will be nice.

Might as well go back to playing the game as I did in previous versions, just kill everyone on sight.

Too bad that the excellent adult/sex improvements to the game are utterly letdown by the changes to the action part.



I figured it out in meantime that I fucked up with crack install lmao. Didn't realize there was ANOTHER deltazone folder, right inside the main folder, so I copy-pasted the binaries folder into main folder instead of that one. xD


PS: can someone please explain what hydrophobic skin/hair actually means in this game? What's the effect?

I agree with you and have the same feeling. But it's still an early access game, so I hope the voicelines between frindlies and hostiles will change, as I do hope the different ffactions will fight each other.

That's the weird thing by the way, i was sure they were shooting at each other in 0.19 and earlier versions.

Early access for like 5 years or so, lol. Problem is, v19 was awesome in everything that v20 fails. Gunplay was pretty much the best until now, AI was toned down a bit from before, loading times were acceptable... v20 is a downgrade in everything except sex.

I personally always enjoyed this game as a shooter first and foremost, cause I get (got) bored of the sex parts really quickly. For me it was a sexy Tarkov: player character was a moderately hot girl whose clothing would get destroyed, that already hits a few of my kinks and what I always wished for. Sex was just meh, it was the shooter part that's kept me coming back and had me replaying this game for months and years.

Now that part is being destroyed and instead I have Loading SimulatorTM! Turns out that long loading is the flavor for the day also when you finish a raid and go back to hideout, not just when starting game for first time.

Thats what i also experienced..like the ammo doing less damage, it was weird but i know its real now. in v19 7.62ACP or even 5.56ACP resulted a one shot kill, now i need at least 2, also 338 sub will take sometimes 2 shot to down an enemy.

Finally someone else thinks this way. But tbh i didn't really experience any bullet sponge enemies but i'd say the scopes look way more jagged when zoomed in on the same settings as it was in older versions.

Switched over to 5.56 FMJ and I'd say it's doing the same damage .45 did earlier. Needed a whole clip to kill a scav.

This is on another level on how bad it runs, also nightmare controls with complely arbitrary and random keybinds, couldn't even change the girl's gear or remove her clothing, when i got into the Inventory, i went into the equipment section, the items i got from the stash were fully nuked when i clicked on "remove" and there wasn't a visible menu to change armor or equip weapon. Maybe it's just me, but i am used to a normal looking UI.

Oh and also the game entirely froze right after the tutorial, never recovered. Fully deleted from my computer, utter trash.

Anyone figured out how the arousal system works?
Does it only increase over time or are there any factors that slows it down or speeds it up?

Being shot and being nude does.

I don't get this dev.

Years ago in a Q&A he explained his "reasoning" why there is no birth in this game that he doesn't want to attract the pregnancy kinkers. But otoh he goes and does shit like the possibility of speeding up and slowing down pregnancy.

Is he confused? Or just being an a-hole?

Cause I really want Ivy to be able to get rid of the tentacles in a way that doesn't drain the purse or, if not that, to at least there being a drawback to pregnancy, like xenomorph-like lethal birth ending with Ivy dying (that way there would be incentive to get rid of them). Cause right now there really is no point to it except for the hungry-stomach growls, lmao.

yes, he made pregnancy system more punishing now I kind of like it, before there was nothing to worry about getting creampied and getting pregnant cause it was easy to get rid of it.
I guess he should make it come out automatically and the babies are going to be turn into hugger-like creatures and they will attach to your breasts to get bigger and afterwards they will try to latch on her pussy continuing this cycle.

If you press remove, you delete it from your inventory or stash. You don't transfer it.

There's an assigned key to find out what the keybindings are. I guess you looked over that.

Equipping a gun is like any other game with a inventory systme like this game runs. Equipping attachments is through the gunsmith screen.

Also doing non-rough BJs, the rough one lowers arousal for some reason

Climbing on the "this is disastrously unstable patch" train. Had 2 of the infamous CTDs within 10 minutes of each other. Loading times are from v19's 30 seconds up to 4-5 minutes. And that includes resetting world (going into hideout) after extracting. I don't have the most powerful computer, but it's been well over a decade or even two since I had to wait THIS long on a loading screen.

Honestly, there's so much pointless clutter that could and SHOULD be removed. First of all, the gross rotting corpses that are literally everywhere and don't add much to a game that is primarily an action porn game. Hard to get in the mood when you walk past a corpse that has ribs sticking out the back and you can see the entrails from behind. I get it, it tells a story of a post-apocalyptic world (but even in such a world the corpses would've been burnt to prevent the spread of diseases), but is there really a need for so many of them? We get it, the end is nigh, but that doesn't mean I have to trip over a corpse every few meters.

Also, graphics seems to have regressed for me since v19. The models have lost sharpness, especially noticable during sex and there is a "haze" to the models now (can't explain it better), I can almost see the pixels lol. And it's more taxing on my PC as well, hear my GPU fan work harder than before.

Unreal Engine is a powerful and reliable tool, I've never had a single crash with a game that it powers until now. What the hell is he doing to it that he's being literally the only person in the world to break this engine?

There's an assigned key to find out what the keybindings are. I guess you looked over that.

A few revisions back you could undress Ivy with pressing "V" once and then again to redress her without the need to go into inventory. That was removed for some reason. It's possible he is talking about that?

I guess he should make it come out automatically and the babies are going to be turn into hugger-like creatures and they will attach to your breasts to get bigger and afterwards they will try to latch on her pussy continuing this cycle.

I doubt that's gonna happen cause that sounds a lot of work that devolution is unwilling to do/incapable of doing. He seems to be a coder, not a modeler or an animator and your suggestion would primarily require the last two skills.

Oh, because the parasites that sprout all over the guys that have intercourse with Ivy put you in the mood?
Look closely, it's not that their uniform is red. It's that their body is horribly mutated.

To each their own I guess.

feast is ready!!

changelog?

 

[malicardy]

So is it actually freezing when trying to go back to the hideout, or is it just an insanely long load time?

i think in most cases game just crashed....sometimes its a long loading time but mostly game just hang and u hv to kill that process... in some cases u need a hard reset fyi...

 

[malicardy]

This update is basically unplayable anyways. Always crashes after a certain amount of time.

 

[GreatestDerp]

Dev doesn't like this game being pirated.

*Asks for 10 euro's a month for the uncensored version with a 3month gap of updates*

Meaning every 2months you wasting 20 euros. Fuck him.

 

[GreatestDerp]

Game plays off it's intro and then just shows a black screen while the program initially crashed. Help?
