Unreal Engine Wicked Island [Build 20440670] [RawDarkness]

[formasual]

So every time I try and download this game to my new laptop it’s telling me critical error. And yet when I download this game to my old one it downloads fine. Help anyone?

Ever heard of sneakernet? Long story short, its the way we used to transfer files before networks. Literally legging it to other computers. Get your sneakers on and transfer it via USB or something like that. Don't know anything about your new laptop, but I know manual file transfer always works.

Just posting a few pics for my own sanity.

The Trolls. It's always in the eyes.

Just for anyone that hasn't installed the game yet or been able to play yet, here is a sample of what some of the wood pieces and decorations are like. Sorry for the quality of the outside picture, it had been raining for 3 days straight in the game and I was just tired of waiting for a sunny day to snap a pic.

By The Way: (for anyone that might care)
I don't remember seeing this noted anywhere, but Light sources (torches and Candelabras) no longer require fuel to run. So, no need for tons of Evercoal or constantly restocking your light sources to light up your massive castle/mansion.

Light sources: YES - now if only one could buy sand like stones ....

Can I not access the new update yet since I don't have the game on Steam? If not, I'll just wait for someone to share a non-Steam download

So, how do you get keys for the locked chests the dev added on some small islands? You can't pick the locks by the looks of it.

Also, anyone know if all the collectible cards are actually findable in the world? In the last build I played the world locations for them reset every time you loaded a game and they all gave a new, random one when you picked one up. I've only found something like 6 so far now that they don't reset.

Re cards, yes, it no longer resets (that was a bug, not intentional) so you can't just go back to same location and get a new one. Need to find them seeded various locations - some in dungeons, various other random spots.

Re chests, specific keys are needed.
See formasual post of 10Oct:

So the dev removed the Punisher from Isabell's quest rewards and replaced with Fleshmarker. But you can still get the Punisher and even the spear Disgrace. There are three new keys found on the map (Rusty, Sandy and Seaweed) and they are easy to notice because there is a gold glow around them just like the pink glow around the cards found around the map. The keys also appear to be slightly inconsistent with which chest they open. Discord users seem to agree that Rusty key opens the Punisher chest, but Seaweed and Sandy both have been reported to open Disgrace chest. For me it was Seaweed key. So now I'm trying to figure out if there is a third chest, but haven't had any luck there yet.

The keys are not hard to find and they are in plain sight each at a point of interest on the map. But if you want to know where they all are

Yeah, I figured it was a given that it was a bug, which is why I didn't bother mentioning it. I was just wondering if all the cards were already added to the game after the fix.

Re chests, specific keys are needed.
See formasual post of 10Oct:

Thanks. I already had the Sandy Key and I tried it on the chest near the Maiden's Last Rest dungeon but it didn't work, so I figured it was for some other new secret or a quest. It did work for the Disgrace chest for me though. Which is a bit of a shame, since spears are so terrible at the moment because of the loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong attack animation. I guess I need to find the other two keys then.

There is one that you won't find unless your volume is turned up. In the big circular demon dungeon down the corridor to the statue's left (that would be your right side when coming down the steps) there are four rooms on the left side. The first room has a card on the empty book shelf, but you have to go into 1st person mode and equip either the spear or 2hand sword to get low enough to grab it. If you turn your volume up you should be able to hear them when you are in proximity.

Oh? I didn't notice there's a sound cue, even though I do have my volume turned up since I like the music. Need to look for that in the future.

I need a bit of help, please. I have 2 versions of this;
v. 0.8.6.1 D/Led from here ages ago.
v. 25.08.21 bought & D/Led via Itch.io cos Steam requires a UK-based customer to Age Verify using a fucking Credit Card, and Gabe Newell can go choke on a baboons cock for that one, afaic!

So, main question, which is the fuller, more complete, game and/or experience?

The newer version that you can download here does have more 'stuff' in it, armor got tweaked again, you can make a potion to protect against heat or cold, dark iron ore can only be found in one place now, and the building pieces have been updated. Wood building pieces have been completely redone and you now have actual decoration items you can add to your house, such as wardrobes, rugs, plates of food, books, banners, and statues.

You really aren't missing that much if you stick with 8.6.1, BUT, there has been some other 'stuff' added to the game as well on the current version that you can buy from Steam, but unless you are into building houses, you probably won't notice much difference.

Is there a way to fix the invisible trolls in the latest update? It's really freaky seeing only their eyeballs and weapons

EDIT: It seems like closing and starting the game again fixed it? For now, at least. Didn't think that would actually work lol

I think it's the game running out of texture memory. I get it the most near the wildling town which is graphically very busy with all kinds of props. That's where I've seen my only crashes too so far.

 

[beefenstein]

Do we have any idea of what's in Build 20440670? Or is it just bug fixes? It doesn't look like there's a changelog.

Idk if it's that considering that games usually stutter when they run out of memory and I'm not stuttering at all. The game runs smoothly for me and the only models I've seen having issues are the invisible trolls and ogres

I checked discord and the dev doesn't have anything posted in the released channel about it. I searched for "hotfix" and he said he doesn't post anything if its just a texture or two or something like that. I haven't noticed a single thing so whatever it was seems to be important enough for him to fix while all the other bugs remain, yet none of us can tell the difference.

I thought it might fix the issue of being pushed through the boundaries by monsters and falling through the map, but that still happens.

Regarding the keys I asked about earlier:

The reason people have conflicting experiences about what key opens what chest seems to be that there's no specific chest for a specific weapon. It looks like it's random which weapon you get from the chests. I opened both the one near Grandwood ruins and the one near the Maiden's Last Rest and got the spear Disgrace from both. I loaded an older save and have to test later if it randomizes the chest when you open it or when you start the game. Hopefully it's the first so I can still savescum for the Punisher. Looks like it's randomized when you start the game. Bummer.

Or, did I just find a chest and haven't found one of the two everyone else has?

EDIT: I missed a chest. It's not random. 2 chests have Disgrace, either because of a dev error or there just not being a suitable weapon to put there yet and one chest has the Punisher.

Yea I don't know it could just be random and locked in when you start character idk tho. I didn't see anyone mention that any key other than Rusty opens the Punisher which is the one guarded by the Drake which has been my experience as well. But the other two are both Disgrace so either people are opening different chests or the keys can be swapped. I'm hoping the dev replaces one of the Disgraces for a Runic Blade. To me it kinda makes sense since it would be one of each melee weapon class. There is also the Royal blade but its a 2hand sword just like Punisher. I prefer the one hand sword so yea I'd like to see the Runic blade in one of the chests in the future. I never use it because I really don't like cheating stuff in the game. But if it was in a chest placed there by the dev I would totally use it.

Edit: If you haven't found the Punisher yet its on the coastline mostly west but a bit south with a Drake guarding it.

Oh, yeah, it looks like I just haven't found the Punisher chest then. One of the chests I found was unguarded and one guarded by one of those spiky fiends that walk on all fours.

Edit: Found the drake chest and Punisher. Which seems very nice with the cat mask you can find in the wildling town that also gives you crit chance through the Grace bonus.

Major update release happens - 20421296
3 Hotfixes to this major update follows - 20424231 (Build I posted)
4 hotfixes follow to this major update - 20440670 (Patcher Version)

Without knowing what the update contains, we can conclude that there were bugs the dev found after the major update release that the dev expeditiously worked on to correct.
