I don't know, what I was reading sounded like a whine to me, one giant whine. Perhaps how I took it, and how you meant it was different.
Unreal Engine Wicked Island [v0.8.5.2] [RawDarkness]
- Thread starter Jeevant
- Start date
Downloaded the game and went to go open it, PC tells me it cannot run it without a driver update. I don't believe it run the game anyways bricks before I can load in.To get the driver update and then the game runs absolutely fine. thinks nothing of it goes to play other games notice a performance increase. frames per second overall goes from a jumpy 60 to 70 to a stable 120.

Some valid and fair points. The track record of ambitious adult games is mostly non-existing when it comes to launched products.
And there is no reason for you to trust that i wont be abandoning this, like so many other devs, and i won't try to convince you otherwise since id rather let the project speak for itself on that matter.
Also i am fully aware that i need to get better at polishing. I definitely do add lots of half finished features that break down 5 versions down the line. It's very much a throw everything at the wall and see what sticks approach.
But in my defence, at least i do attempt to implement features (many whom are suggested by the community) rather than make shiny roadmaps that never materialise. If you are a dev yourself you know every feature requires a lot more than you initially expect. It quickly ends up being a whack a mole situation and scope creep is very real, especially with an enthusiastic community pitching in with ideas.
I do feel you are unfair though. Maybe you experience crashes but i never have and have pretty much 0 reports of it. If you do i would advise you to investigate your system. Also while the bugs can be very annoying, very few are "game breaking" in a sense that you can't advance at all or need to restart the entire game. I try to address anything that actually halts playing completely as soon as possible. If you have more bugs to report i'm unaware of, feel free to report them rather than just negatively ranting.
I rarely visit f95 since there is a lot of entitled people here who, in addition to playing a pirated version of the game, also seems to feel i owe them something just because they pirated my game. Not overly convinced by that argument.
I'm making this game because i find it enjoyable. I also like it when people play my game, obviously. But that doesn't mean you are entitled to anything simply by playing the game.
Sorry about the rant, and hopefully the major issues of DLSS/performance, quests and infinite pregnancy will be solved in a soon to be released version. Also very much appreciate any constructive feedback and bug reporting.
Things like DLSS breaking due to plugin changes was something i didn't realise until i came here and read about it.

well hopefully you will deliver something to the community
A little advice
1.Don't try to argue with SOME of the people here are like bloodthirsty hounds and they are trying to rip you apart (maybe they will)
2. "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks approach" ist fine just dont do this to much or you will get a "pile of shit"
3. People who complain a lot they secretly love the game and want it to be good SO DONT TRY TO GET TO emotional on them
(well you can ask then "why are they do it that way?"
its a weird human behavior)Good Luck on the game!
I never said i dislike the game, i realy liked the previous builds, i was just pointing out that hes focusing on the wrong things like switching a game engine for no reason when the game barley works...well hopefully you will deliver something to the community

I think this game could be awsome and the previous build was rather fun to try.

Ye i agree with you to some extent, i didnt want to sound harsh but you seriousley cant say "its pirated" because you cant expect people to pay money for what the game currently is.....
I will be more than happy to pay for the game iff you bring it to an acceptable level, for example:
In the previous UE4 engine builds i had 180FPS with Lumen on, i have a Rtx 3070TI 16GB ram with a ryzen 7- 5700X And in this build i get 18 FSP on any setting in the game... so i dont think thats my PCs fault. so ye you can say 18fps from 180 is pretty game breaking.
far too many projects ive supported on patreon for years just for them to go absolutley nowhere so im not convinced this will ever be something playable, so im not investing money in it, iff the game will be stable and has a gameplay loop, then all the better i will buy the game or make a donation on patreon.

there is nothing wrong in disliking something! in fact you should write down
if you write your problems down enough times maybe it will get changed for the better
(normal people can see who is a "healthy adviser" or just a dck)

I believe there is some misconception here, as there has been no engine version change in a long time. If you played with lumen previously that means it was already Unreal Engine 5, as that is a UE5 feature. I have updated to the most recent versions of UE, but that has only had a positive impact in terms of performance.
And to be clear, im not refuting the fact that performance has dropped a lot after a certain update, it surely has. Its just not at all for the reasons stated here.
I have tracked down the cause of the poor performance and will have it fixed in the next version. It was a poorly optimized asset that caused the issue and since i recently got a beefier PC i didn't notice the performance drop as clearly as i would have on my earlier build. I should have tested it better and the fixes i implemented didn't properly address it (that will teach me to use shit assets, i suppose).
Getting access to something that is locked behind a paywall through means of others sharing it is the definition of piracy, regardless of the quality of the product.
I don't actively try to fight it with DRM or even refuse to assist people who got the game without paying, nothing would change the fact its available through alternative means. Better embrace the fact and hope some find it good enough to pay for it, at some point.
But saying its not piracy because you wouldn't pay for it doesn't make sense at all. That's like saying shoplifting candy and then realizing it tastes bad would make it legal..
Holy crap batman, this game is an unstable, shuttering, unoptimized mess. Previous builds ran smoothly as butter. WTF did they do to this game?

I've never made a game before but I know someone that works at DICE UK, I don't completely understand the struggles, but I know it is indeed a struggle. I hope for the best
btw, some voice acting wouldn't hurt at all!He literally said two posts above you it was as shitty asset he is replacing next update
The pubic hair setting doesn't display for me, anyone knows how to fix it.
Every time I try to open the game it crashes, but I've played it before and I have a save, if anyone knows what it could be I'd appreciate it.

delete everything! including the save files (C:\Users\(Your PC name)\AppData\Local\WickedIsland)Every time I try to open the game it crashes, but I've played it before and I have a save, if anyone knows what it could be I'd appreciate it.
then reinstall the game
If Ogres are the one with clubs yes they are in this build.
