I have noticed a bug in story mode once you enter the village and need the fireaxe to knock down the door to get to the woman that you can break down the door, but the chains remain, and there's seemingly no way to get rid of the chains and lock or walk past it. Gonna play up to that point again and give it another shot and see if I can replicate it.
Not a bug
We just didn’t account for players trying to break the door directly.

You don’t need to hold the fire axe in your hands — it just has to be in your inventory. Once the axe is in your inventory, the interaction will work and the door can be broken even if the chains are still visually there.
Thanks for checking and for trying to reproduce it anyway — really appreciate that

Hello, I hope you can help me. Every time I open the game, this screen appears and I have no idea what the error is. I don't have a super PC, I have a laptop haha, but my laptop has run other games with UnrealEngine that aren't as demanding without any problems. I hope you can help me, thank you.

Hello! Thanks for reporting this, I’ll try to help


This doesn’t seem to be related to your PC power — many players with laptops and mid-range hardware have run the game fine. In most cases, this issue is caused by the graphics API Unreal Engine tries to use by default.


Here’s a workaround that has helped many players:


Try forcing DirectX 11 (most reliable)

  1. Create a shortcut for SperAp.exe
    (Right-click → Create shortcut)
  2. Right-click the shortcut → Properties
  3. In the Target field, add this at the very end:


-dx11


Example:



"C:\Games\SperApocalypse\SperAp.exe" -dx11


  1. Click ApplyOK
  2. Launch the game only through this shortcut

If it still doesn’t work, try this:

  1. Make sure you are launching the game from the shortcut with -dx11
  2. Right-click the shortcut → Run as administrator
  3. Disable fullscreen optimization:
    • Right-click shortcut → Properties → Compatibility tab
    • Check Disable fullscreen optimizations
  4. If the game still crashes, try Vulkan instead of DX11:


"C:\Games\SperApocalypse\SperAp.exe" -vulkan


(Some GPUs work better with Vulkan)


  1. As a last resort:

  • Update your GPU drivers
  • If you’re using an AMD GPU, try running the game in windowed mode — it helps sometimes


If the issue persists, feel free to send a screenshot of the error screen or your GPU model — I’ll take a closer look.
Thanks for your patience and for giving the game a try

put the code it, got the key, , try to access laptop- nothing. any advice?
That’s intended behavior, not a bug.


Previously, the laptop worked as a scene viewer, so players could watch scenes early without progressing. We removed this feature on purpose.


Now, scenes are unlocked through gameplay progression:


  • You need to level up
  • Unlock new zombie and bandit types
  • Capture a zombie
  • Build a cage
  • After that, you can replay that scene unlimited times

This change was made to motivate players to actually play and progress, instead of just skipping content through the laptop.


Thanks for asking — I know it can be confusing if you played older versions.

Hey, did the places you could loot in story mode got disabled?
Hey!
No, looting in story mode isn’t disabled


We just removed some loot spots for now. Previously there was too much loot, and because of that save files were not working correctly.


So we did this in stages:


  • First, we removed all loot
  • Then we added back only the most essential items at the start:
    • food
    • water
    • energy drinks
    • lockpicks
    • basic weapons

This was a necessary technical decision to stabilize saves and progression.


We’ll gradually add more loot back in future updates once everything is stable.
Thanks for noticing and for your patience

how to unlock story mode :cry::cry:
Here’s how to unlock Story Mode


  1. When you have the code, click on the field that says “Enter password here”
  2. Press Ctrl + C, then Ctrl + V into that field
  3. You’ll hear a “ding” sound
  4. The Story Mode button will change from grey to green

That’s it — Story Mode is unlocked
