I've played and completed the game in the last update, which was quite enjoyable. When the new update arrived, I automatically downloaded it and tried to play it again, but all I got was a black screen. Try redownloading it again; you still get a black screen. So frustrated

can you upload your settings file in the save games folder? I'll try and see what the issue is

The problem with that is the PC requierments would increase too.
And, as most dev's are aware, players want AAA graphics games, but they want them on 10 years old potato PC's...

BF3, it still looks good in spite of trying to go for realism, it had 64 players and at 1920x1080 Maxed out could run between 45-60 fps on a Gtx 560 a i5 2500K.

If I have a high range RTX series card, how is it justified for a game and I am not going to single out this game (which I like quite a bit) but 3D WEG games in general, how is it justified for them to run like ass when they got almost static environments?
This seems to be a rather ubiquitous problem that seems to affect the AAA industry as well, I'd like to show some of those "veteran" devs Red Faction guerilla being more dynamic than their games despite the lower requirements.

I like the twist too, but that is a also a game where you could spend more time on loading screens than in a session of Crash bandicoot.

You are comparing a multi millions ( if not billion ) studio with teams of 1-5 people :)))
Yes, you can achieve high quality graphics with low/ decent hardware requirements. But, you need to spend loads of time to optimise everything ( code, meshes, materials, etc ) and you need people with the knowhow to do it.

Unreal/ Unity provide a good balance between hardware requirements and quality by default, and that is what most game dev's are doing, just keep the default's. If I had 1 million $, I could deliver a AAA ( or at least AA ) project, but most dev's here don;t have that kind of money :), and I am pretty sure PoolSide doesn't have that kind of money either :D

Well there would be Bright memory, looks pretty good, done mostly by one person

But I understand this may be a rare occurence, still, surely it would be better to have a game that run on the average hardware as a basis, lest one alienates a good share of their crowd.

it's nice that the developer is actively involved in the discussion of the game. I have a question, will the clothes be updated or new ones added? I would like to have more choice

Is official VR support still in the works? UEVR works well, but it comes with a lot of motion sickness because of all the camera movements.
