What do you even mean? What am I to tell you? Sure I can see they have goals listed on what they want to do. Thats lovely. I'm not one of the 12k backers of the project however, so I'm just a passerby viewing with skepticism that it will all come together. Maybe for the last few years they've been prototyping different mechanics for combat and crafting until they're satisfied with something robust rather than building on a mediocre system, and accruing technical debt that will make life hard later down the road? I certainly don't know but my point is, I don't think other folk know either, so why shouldn't I ask? Not trying to be mean, and I'm not looking to undermine anyone's hopes here, but if game development industry were a single share in the stock market, they'd be deep in the red from a lot of failed promises.

Tell you what?
Well...yes...the goals are listed, so that's what the game is going to be, though your skepticism is understandable in hindsight. Up until not long ago they had the goal of finishing up the sandbox tools, adding scenes etc so they kept to what they said pretty well, therefore I'd trust what the current patreon goals state, for the most part.

I didn't say the games didn't have tech creep and long dev times. Duke Nukem Forever also had issues of oversight meddling with work, as well as the devs planning for too much and finding they couldn't deliver. Star Citizen has changed into less of a game that just releases and gets updates and is essentially a Steam early access game now that will always be getting closer to a 1.0 without actually reaching it.

Cyberpunk being compared to Wild Life doesn't work, since CDPR is a AAA dev studio with way more people that has worked on a few other AAA games, they have time under their belt, plus recent updates that have made the game run better than it did at launch should be considered. Meanwhile, the dev team for Wild Life is what, maybe 10-20 people, being generous? And they're making something more complex than most porn games you would find while having an actual game behind it (which is the part in active development), and it's on the Unreal Engine instead of the overused Unity Engine, allowing for stuff like the sandbox mode to even be a thing. Optimization steps in game dev also don't usually happen until the end of production, after everything else has been set up and is working.

pot kettle black etc

I only make the Cyberpunk comparison as an example of how absurd the current hardware demands are for how little this game has. And also because it seems like you're trying to push the idea that it's only people with bad PCs complaining. I have a good PC and I can run the game great now. I've thought that several times through the development of this game and every single time the demands bloated to insane levels and it ended up being nearly unplayable until I upgraded again. This is why I don't believe in the mythical "they'll optimize it later", optimization has never been a priority.

When is end of production? When is everything going to be set up and working? Is it going to take another six years?

does anyone here have sandbox maps that work on the version UE4 21.10.2022? it is the only version that works for me without problems and that on the highest resolution....UE5 does not work for me
Would be really great from you guys if one still has older maps for my version

dose this need a strong pc ?
When it was on UE4 i could even run it on gtx750 1GB, 8gb ram, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz. ofcourse i only used showcase scene not the game map cuz those will obviously lag, but on showcase room i even used everything on high with atleast 3 to 4 characters too! I AM NOT JOKING!. BUT! now its not possible cuz the engine has been upgraded to UE5 so i can't even open the game anymore. You can try it but its still in WIP so nothing is promised.
