Hey guys, I'm playing in the 2.10b version of the game and everytime I want to use a character from Racknet, it shows "preparing game files", but it's stuck at 0%.
Did anyone else have this problem too??

nah he just work when he want to work
he say it on his patreon : give if you want, but i'm my own boss
he worked a lot at start but it's like 5-6 month he just do some RPG on his stream, and maybe one day or two per month he work on it.
i think he's just a very lazy man
1 update per month/2month

thats a very bad progress... if you're gonna tell me he is burnout on content ideas plus if he keeps playing RPG stream games and this will lead to laziness on his own. sounds like he needs a new team to hire

As I understand it, Fek has said that he intends to do the full game alone, and he's actually surprised at the support he gets on Patreon. He's never set any particular dates for anything, and the game will be free when it someday, if ever, gets released.
Now, I could be wrong as well. That's what I've got in my head anyhow.

its better if we convince those patreon supporters tell them that Fek really needs to get serious on his work or else this is going to be another fail project on his own, patreon supporters needs to pressure him to work on his game.

You do realize that r2 is Fek's personal project, and he works on it when he feels. Pressuring can make him ditch it. Entitled whining on f95 became really annoying. Don't want to support a project, just like don't. People who want to, will anyway. Patreon is V-O-L-U-N-T-A-R-Y. Just like steam EA.
Personally I'd rather wait for another 5 years and get perfect passion project, than crap bloated with "community requests" like BotN now.

Yes, but BotN makes progress and peopel who support it are actually satisfied with it.
Rack2 on the other hand makes 2 upgrades per year with broken tits still not fixed, looking like poped up baloons.
I support the idea of "He makes the game the WAY he wants", but i do not support the idea of "He makes the game WHEN he wants". Laziness should not be supported.
I also understand that he must be tired and out of steam (I worked on year-long development myself and I understand that sometimes a man should make 1-2 months hold or change his work entirely for some time to reignite his true passion), but I think that he should then take the pause officially with a determined dates, instead of keeping working 1/3 of his strength every single month only aggravating his position further and further.

he work alone on it, and nah i won't tell you that... the community have idear he just have to pick some stuff in it, like i say he's a lazy man, he is ALREADY lazy =) (i think, personnaly... because i'm the same, at start of a project i can work 12/24 7/7 no problemo but when i'm being bored with that, it's finish, i will just do the things when i have no other option)
i don't know, i mean on this forum, the game are free to test (thanks for that btw)... we don't pay a penny, yeah i'm sad he don't work faster & harder especialy the character creation (actualy it's not bad but you really can't do that much)
some patreon already crying about it and cut their support, but i don't think that mean something for Fek...
actually i'm just looking the game when it have an update for the character creation or some major bug fix(like trilib), and i don't have my word on it because 1 i don't pay for it and 2 i don't work on it
the final release of the game will be free btw, i've read somewhere he don't need money, it's just for support him, but won't work harder because you pay more, so i don't think it will be a fail project =)
He was in the beginning, but now not only does he not respond on patreon but the bug report website has been down for the better part of a year...
I hear alot of complaints, not going fast enough, not staying focused, not setting or not meeting deadlines. Just do the responsible thing. If you dont pay then shut up and move on. If you do pay enjoy what you get or stop payments. I used to support, I've even come back just to check update progress. Unfortunately the game is nearly unplayable so I've pulled my funding till the game is in a good place again.
If enough people follow suit then his patreon count will drop and will have incentive to make progress again.
The man has the right to do what he wants when he wants. That said, so do you, if you dont like it then just leave. I stick around because when it worked it was probably the hottest thing on patreon imho.

What's wrong with BotN? And I don't think that listening to your community is a bad thing. But yeah, I agree that the comment you were replying to gives really bad vibes.

There is no real gameplay, no interesting systems, no basic story, nothing. It's not even glorified VN like many other 3D games here. Monsters are boring reskins (furry versions are of much better quality, but there is like 3 species of them?), no interesting mechanics, no progression, even poses are extremely limited and boring. For the last year, helmsman just added everything community wanted content wise, but nothing to make this content distinct, interesting or to make his game feel like a game. I got much more enjoyment out of CM, HaS and old versions of BotN. Not even talking about good projects like Rack 2 or MGI. 2020 is the year he will have to develop this techdemo into a game or stagnate until the sun explodes.

Delete the contents of the racknetcache folder. Should be in %AppData%\LocalLow\Fek\Rack 2_ Furry Science\racknetcache
hey guys this game works well for me, but I always get the [Preparing game files] banner and stuck at 0%, what can I do about this?

Is it still sucking up a ton of resources? I played a while back and my CPU started creeping up to dangerously high temps, had to shut it off and haven't played since.

Worse. Every new release murdered stability more and more.
