QSP Evil 2 [v0.75] [community project]

[noobtrain]

After extracting all of the versions, will it still say .55 beta on the first splash page?

The 'Installation' instructions on the opening post is your best friend. All four downloads are required and you have to install them in order (oldest to newest). If you installed the game correctly the version will say 0.75 on the first splash screen and you'll only have one .qsp file in your Evil 2 game folder and one 'pic' folder also (both should be located in /Evil 2/Evil/).

I wonder if there's a solution for the game slowing down: I found only one solution (delete game, restart windows, reinstall game) but when I load a slow saved game it keeps going slow. Is there any other and effective solution I still ignore? Or should I play the game on a VM with a different OS?

Deleting the game and reinstalling it doesn't do anything. There's only one temporary file that the game creates 'vlclog.log'. This is a temporary file used for video playback. Delete that file and your save games and you have a brand new clean installation of the game. Rebooting Windows can help however in some cases but usually only on slow systems with low memory (RAM). I personally recommend rebooting any Windows PC every 24 hours or once a day to ensure a good running and stable OS. You can often go multiple days without issue but I've seen too much instability if you don't reboot for 5 days or longer.

True story - I was working as an IT administrator and the financial employees kept having issues with their computers roughly once a week. This went on for 6 weeks until I finally did some digging and asked them lots of questions. It turns out that it took too long for their PC to boot up each day because it was heavily loaded with financial software. Because they couldn't use their PC for 5 to 10 minutes after arriving at work, they simply never turned it off or rebooted it. Their operating system (OS) became unstable after 5 to 7 days of continual use. A reboot solved the issue every time but until I asked some probing questions it was a mystery. I had informed the staff, through several emails, that I recommended that they turn their computers on in the morning and shut them off when they leave for the day. Everyone was doing this except for the financial staff. I scolded them and insisted that they follow my advice. Problem solved!

This game is poorly designed and lacks direction.

The game starts rudderless where the game expects you to use OUTSIDE references to use the sandbox portion of the game till the game starts to trigger events and become less sandbox.

You you understand just how ass backwards this approach is? You should have events at the START of the game to teach the player WTF is going on in the game. I spent hours and hours working to get some income bought a legit business, the store. Got that profitable to buy another and so on. This took me fucking ages. I eventually got 5 stores going very profitable was able to save up for a brothel to finally get into the game proper and things went to shit because you are too lazy to explain the mechanics of you own game.

bought a brothel and lost fucking everything because your game doesn't register my earnings with the Nigerian chap, from the strip club. I am like WTF I just got the brothel just got it producing cash with 2 whores 1 Madame. He complains gives me three whores I put them to work. Now my 1 madame and 5 whores are making more cash and that nigerian guy is back in the morning and steals all my cash. WTF? How does losing over 100k make sense to you as a mechanic? If I owe him money and I have the capital investment to cover the brothel and the money he wants WHY IS HE ON MY ASS?????????????

This mechanic is fucked in the head. Seriously I have no idea how the fuck it is suppose to work. We make a deal where i owe him 50%. OKAY 50% of WHAT? The earning of the whores? Okay so how the fuck do I pay him? Because he comes to my house in the fucking morning before I can fucking do anything. I made arrangements with him so he shouldn't be angry with me but every fucking day for two days he is one me in the morning WTF? The Brothel made cash from between 24 and 30 clients the second night, the first two nights were less with 2 working the floor vs 5 the next night but still making cash for those two nights.

There should be an event that walks the player through exactly what is expected because this is fucked in the head. Also why the fuck are these triggers on a one day timer, why are they not on a weekly timer. One day makes zero sense. Yeah he wants his cash but i literally get an income report for the night and he expects to be paid before I can do anything in the game. And because you are too lazy to make a couple of tutorial events for each system in the game I have no fucking idea what is going on. Did I miss something? Does he expect a fixed income? Is the brothel not covered by some mechanics because no one expected me to start with a brothel vs street walkers?

I have no fucking clue because the game doesn't explain anything to me so I have no actual knowledge of what is suppose to happen vs what is a bug.

right this moment the game is a boring fucking grind. And you the developer made it such, but you also made it a grind with NO explanation of the basic systems in the game. The beginner guild isn't a guide of those systems. It says use this system to do x not how to use the system.

The Nigerian chap only takes a cut from the illegal whores, the glory hole, the streets and I think the webcams now. If you skipped those and went straight to the brothel, which is legal in this games world, he got pissy because you had nothing for him to get a cut from despite him giving you those whores.
