Whatever you are doing behind the scenes seems to be working. This version runs a lot better on my machine than 0.10.4 did.

all my colors are washed out and my screen is very bright. Can anyone help please?
Unreal 4.25 changed the way the light exposure works, so please let us know if things are getting too bright or too dark than they usually were on some parts of the game.

So tomorrow we'll release version 0.11.2 with the new version of the unreal engine and with this issue fixed. It will be released to the neonate+ tier.

Meanwhile, there is a workaround if you find this problem: Just save and then load the game and it should be fine. You'll just not be able to see the starting intro.
Try to lower or turn of effects and post processing (though it could be that it gets forced for the Cutscenes)
it seems we wandering through a engine problematic change phase now unless indies do their own unique stuff in their branch it could get a wild ride ;)

well see how many will go the step moving to 4.25

we are here now on 0.11.1c which doesn't fix this



Any CPU optimizations yet?
What for problems do you think you encounter there ?

Hey, i tried to play this game with both direct x12, directx11 and vulkan but all 3 are unplayable for me.
Every time i try to start a campaign i get a black screen with the UI on it, i can interact with my inventory but everything beyond that is just black. The gallery seems to be somewhat working but the charachters are floating?

Yep floating the Vulkan part seems still unstable it can bring the system under extreme stress even multitasking other 3D Engines at the same time can become problematic (Firefox/Chrome)

Vulkan Nvidia 431.36 Windowed Fullscreen:

Everything Very High except Post Pro on Low

Main Menu = 22 FPS
Change Character Appearance = 20 FPS
Gallery Cemetery Scene = 10 FPS

Everything LOW

Main Menu = 112 FPS
Change Character Appearance = 100 FPS
Gallery Cemetery Scene = 83 FPS

DirectX 11 Nvidia 431.36 Windowed Fullscreen:

Everything Very High except Post Pro on Low

Main Menu = 35 FPS
Change Character Appearance = 31 FPS
Gallery Cemetery Scene = 10 FPS

Everything LOW

Main Menu = 160 FPS
Change Character Appearance = 140 FPS
Gallery Cemetery Scene = 120 FPS


~ -10 FPS loss on the Vulkan Path vs DX11 with this 431.36 Driver on lower complexity scenes

The Gallery Cemetery Scene on Very High is absolute Stable on every API

But the lower the GPU Shader load the more it starts to favor DX11 on this Driver at least

The FOV doesn't really changes the camera FOV in the Gallery Scenes but more some distance render param ?
It changes alot but not really the Camera FOV it affects the shadow distance the height map geometry and then as a combined result the lighting overall :D

Some impressions of the highest render complexity

Just downloaded it, pretty good so far apart from Autosave and Quicksave in the same slot. That was stupid!:rolleyes:

I wanted to ask that do I have to download entire game every time new update comes?
Not if you have the game installed through the app. There you only download the patches we make. There are separate builds for both public and patron demos. Just noticed that the version here in f95 is one patch above the actual , because someone leaked it -.-'

Whatever you are doing behind the scenes seems to be working. This version runs a lot better on my machine than 0.10.4 did.
That's great to know! Yeah, we optimized things on the level design and also updated from Unreal Engine 4.23 to 4.25.1

This was fixed on version 0.11.2. it was a bug from 0.11.1c that someone leaked here before it was ready to go public.

They updated the game to 0.11.2 here. Try again and see if it improved because we updated the unreal engine between 0.11.1c and 0.11.2

We fixed the exposure on the levels at the latest version of the game. Let me know if it is better now

Theres basically no content. Really unpleasant presentation with the bugs and unpolished things, unplayable on poor pc. Combat is a chore that obviously has no pay off for now. Quest tracking bugs out, saving is hazardous.
And when you get sex scene it's this minigame where you have to stress winning it rather than sex scene being something to play for or a reward.
Is the 3.5 star average rating for the voice acting alone? If the games been developed for 4 years it's never going to be worth playing at this rate.

This game has always been a wild card, if you've been around the last four years. Highs and lows, the bigger the game gets the harder the bugs are to squash. Developers like this are very often subject to your exact criticism, and it's completely fair. However you can't forget it's a small team working on their own time and money. Not some AAA game factory who can pump out a million dollar title in a years span. Mind you an adult only title which mainstream wouldn't touch with a pole. Fact is that they're still working on it, and some day might even surpass any other similar title. Only time will tell.
