Unreal Engine Fallen Doll: Operation Lovecraft [v0.4.9 Cracked] [Project Helius]

I doubt it will improve as much as it should, unfortunately, but it should be better at least.
Mesh is actually a shitty programmer and what makes matters worse is he actually refuses to hire more help because he wants to dominate control of the project and reap as much money as possible as he still charges while working on VAM2.
He actually had to abandon VAM (original) entirely and start from complete and total scratch because it was so fucked. Just the loading systems, alone, are enough to shame him so severely if it ever came out his real identity and he programmed such a disaster it could literally prevent him from getting a programming job for life. Easily one of the greatest programming fails this world has ever seen.
Worst part is, there isn't really a full ETA and the game could get stuck in bottleneck development at any time as he is actually learning while he develops VAM2 because he was so astoundingly ignorant he is having to completely massively overhaul his skills and knowledge (also a core reason he is doing it from scratch).
The good part is this means he ditches a fucked up base and doesn't reuse any of that disaster. The other good news is he becomes better, over time, and creates a better product (if the world doesn't legitimately meet the apocalypse first).
The bad part is his comments about the game's performance and future are a mix of good and extremely bad. He is still targeting 2-3 characters, basically max, at a time he says in Discord and believes achieving more isn't realistically possible despite many games feature far more complex physics and animated characters on screen than his goal is attempting (and it isn't a matter of his character vs other's "quality" issue, either... he is just ignorant). He also is quite upfront he expect to build only a certain base framework and then expects other even shittier programmers to make modules/extensions to add functionality, fix what he doesn't do or add, etc. for him which is going to create part of the clusterfuck that is VAM original.
Supposedly we will get another demo this year but I don't fully believe that because he also claimed he released a demo using the words "recently", when someone asked him in Discord like a week or two ago, and it was fucking years ago in 2022.
Speaking of performance, have you tried the new multi-threaded performance fix some random person made to fix his fucked game's performance (that he refuses to make official despite promoting it, himself, for some reason). It helps with the game's incredible CPU bottleneck and might make you have a better experience.
I heard that the game Project Helius has version 0.8.0f with many new updates, I'm quite surprised that it doesn't have a cracked version.

A certain russian forum does this and as a result it is so easy for me to find whatever I want on that forum.

Long story short, the game has Denuvo.
If you want a pirated version you will have to wait years lad.
you guys replying to the same question for the 88th time doesnt help either. let people who cant read, to either learn to read, or remain in ignorance...

Only sex scenes.
The pirated version here has all you need, the main game on Patreon is barely functional. The new update has even more predatory practices, so keep your distance from that mess.
Enjoy the pirated version here for what it is, it's better for your wallet lad.
A lot of good games are coming to PC this year, no reason to waste your hard-earned Quids on this unoptimized animation viewer.
I know you want to believe the cracked version is better since most people here don't really have access to the paid version, but from my first hand experience the latest updates are way better in terms of optimization, graphic quality and sex scene variaties. I will give them the credit that they didn't waste the effort to update the game to unreal engine 5.
I'm not going to try to convince you though, just believe what you want to believe if that makes you happier.

I have access to the game lad, I just shared my opinion. All that unoptimized mess, and grindy as fuck is not worth the hassle in my humble opinion. Unlocking things takes too much time, the gacha and everything around it gives me a headache when all I want is to have a wank in peace.
Well, like I said I'm not gonna try to convince you as there's no good in it for me. You do you.
Tbf he didn't say it's "better," only that it's better for your wallet and has "all you need." Which is pretty accurate.
It's been a few months since I played the closed beta but last time I checked it wasn't significantly different to the build on here from a few years back. A few extra characters, one map and some animations but the downside of having to grind in a game with no gameplay loop to unlock anything.
If somebody is tossing up getting the game I'd definitely advise to try the pirated version first and stay away if they wouldn't be happy to pay >$30 for that with some extremely aggressive F2P-style monetisation thrown in.

I have access to the paid version and using old sex scenes to unlock new ones is awful. hoping either the character or a random person gives me a like so I can get a new outfit. and many other gacha mechanics

FWIW the version hosted here is lacking the newer content but the optimization isn't that far off. For one, since you only play solo in the cracked version you aren't experiencing the same performance hit you would in lobbies with other players, so there's less going on stressing your PC. I own the game and would say you aren't missing much playing this version compared to the closed beta.
0.49 definitely does not "look better". No where close, not even objectively per individual tastes. The current paid version is definitely significantly ahead, visually, at this point. Particularly, lighting and material interaction like skin.
Stability, aside from the week or two after updates it seems mostly fine now days, especially since Helius updates so fucking slow now that there are noticeable gaps between updates. It is kind of sad his updates do regularly have issues, though, even if it is just for a few days or week/2.
One thing I've not tested is if the game runs faster when you hide other people. I remember it did not before which is fucking dumb and would solve that point you are raising about number of players. There also needs to be optimizations on the CPU side as player count has a huge impact there and that is arguably the biggest problem for now because if you have a modern CPU you are fine but if your CPU is older you're basically fucked in a full lobby compared to 0.49. That said, even with the most powerful consumer CPU and insane overclock you still can't max out a RTX 4090 or most other high end GPUs. You can get great FPS, but the fact your CPU bottlenecks so hard even on the top end CPUs only tapping like 30-40% of high end GPUs while running 4K native (no upscaling) is hilariously fucked.
Worth mention is I still see some people complain about blurry textures on the current version and for past several months, unlike 0.49 which (as far as I know) does not have that issue.
yeah it's genuinely baffling that there are people saying 0.49 looks better than 0.82 here. if they are not blatantly lying they probably need a vision test...
I have never seen anybody elsewhere thinking that way.

Care to share comparisons then? I don't think latest version is so much better than 0.49 because people who own the "game" shared screenshots from it before. Honestly, it doesn't look much better. The lighting system is probably better but I doubt it is a very significant upgrade.
