Tried the UE5 version today and it's a mess. Most of the characters look worse and all the maps are shockingly bad quality now. Tried playing the main "game" / story mode and holy crap, how someone can be happy with that for 80k+ a month for development is beyond me. I've seen better free indie games than this. Horrific performance and no voice lines. The new fox character is a low effort reskin. If you try and look around the old map all of the models for the different settlements etc are gone, every location is just wonky terrain that looks awful. You can't make the showroom white, only black or terrain. This game is in serious trouble, having been in development for 6 years yet there still isn't anything resembling decent quests etc. Its a shame. :(

Carnal instincts also looks like Skyrim, plays like Assasins creed if it only had walking and has god awful animations.

You can't just use the game engine as a benchmark lol... I've seen text based unreal games.

Either you wait for optimization patches within UE5 itself, drivers or Wildlife, or you buy new hardware, or you accept that your hardware is outdated for cutting edge open world games and simply have to sit this one out.

This site always succeeds in annoying me with how stupid people are. Like the people mentioning a 1030... It's almost 10 years old, lowest of the low end GPU... It is not getting many driver releases. You have to adjust your expectations based on your current situation, I.E. hardware. It's not like you go and scream at Rolex because you can't afford their watches with a McDonalds salary, you instead adjust your expectations.


"Why can't I run a primarily graphic bottle-necked game on my integrated graphics? Wuuua wuuuua. Shit devs, fakau!" Bro, go try to play any modern AAA game that's graphically heavy with that ancient card. Same experience.
Yet Wild life currently plays like a free skyrim clone someone made in their bedroom in about a week...
Both games run on the same engine yet IMO Carnal looks far better, and runs at hundreds of FPS for me compared to like 30 in wild life.
Claiming that users just have bad hardware is not a valid excuse for wild life being unoptimized, I'd hardly call it cutting edge either XD

Carnal Instinct doesn't look that good. Not bad either, just average. Not to mention the sex scenes are closer to pre recorded videos with multiple fixed camera angles, whereas Wild Life has a much more robust foundations in that regard.

Still, you have a point. The game being so hardware hungry is probably a deterrent for many possible supporters. Doesn't make sense to throw some money at the devs for a game you're unable to play unless you have a beefy rig. There's absolutely delusional people expecting to play a high end game with their 15 year old toaster that accumulated pounds of dust, spider webs and insect corpses, yes. But the perfomance in Wild Life is indeed bad and should be fixed sooner rather than later, if at all possible.

so hey guys, last time tried this game - had a bunch of problems
but the main one - low fps, using a laptop with rtx3050, ryzen 7 and 16gb RAM
it can handle cyberpunk (on low-med settings to be fair), but cannot run this game with adequate framerate =(

You usually get low texture problem if your gpu has less than 4GB vram. To fix try this.
Go to AppData\Local\WildLifeC\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor open Engine.ini file and add this at the bottom
[SystemSettings]
r.TextureStreaming=0

If that not work then remove the above and try this
[SystemSettings]
r.Streaming.FullyLoadUsedTextures=1
Thanks for the tip!
For me it works reasonably well but not in the Engine.ini file in the "WindowsNoEditor" folder but in the "Windows" folder.

Yeah. I forgot "WindowsNoEditor" is for the UE4 version of the game. UE5 use new "Windows" folder

While playing on campaing the game limits on 20 fps max, don't know why, I checked the max fps option but it doesn't matter if I put it on epic or low it stills on 20, sandbox runs normally

Animation changelog got updated today. Not a whole lot of content this time around, which is sad. I get that I'm a filthy pirate and no supporter, but if I were, I'd probably be upset to have to wait 2 months for an update just to see that my favorite pairings didn't get any new stuff.

Maybe keep the update once every two months for engine upgrades/bugfixes/campaign progress but release animations a bit more frequently? It seems that the financial support has stagnated around 100k per month, which doesn't seem to be a whole lot if you compare it with some other games that are much lower in quality or simple cash grabs like the Fallen Doll devs.

To be completely honest, Im interested in users opinions no matter if they financially support the project or not. But im sure you already knew that, thats why im here after all. Of course I have an obligation to our patrons that Im very happy to serve them.

With that said, what ARE your favorite pairings? Chances are very high something with them is planned out already. We have a ton of characters and possible pairings so its impossible to cover them all in a single release, but over time we want to cover them all every once in a while :)

this game is going to the wrong direction, every version they launch is worst than the previous one, more bug and errors, in my opinion UE5 is a bad decision they make
