the update break the game

[pedraoxs]

The last update simply broke the game, I can't play anymore, the frames keep fluctuating making it impossible to continue.

wonder if it's because of adding epic games plugin

"Added – Danger Scavenger_Data/Plugins/EOSSDK-Win64-Shipping.dll "

Can't say for sure that's what caused it, of course, but I can say that from what I've seen, when EOS gets added to games, it often breaks things... so...

Though are you sure EOS is active? As far as I know this is purely a singleplayer game, so I'm not sure what EOS would be doing. That's assuming that "Shared/Split-Screen Co-Op" means only local multiplayer.

Sometimes (almost all the time, for singleplayer games) there's just an inert EOS dll file because the game's also on the Epic store, but it doesn't actually do anything.

EOS won't show up as a separate process in task manager, and you need to monitor network connections to see if it's phoning home, but a quick way to test things is to simply delete any EOS files in the install folder and see if the game will still launch.

If EOS is actually in use, that usually (always?) means that the game won't launch if you remove the files.

Hi, thanks for reporting this issue and sorry for the inconvenience.
Could you update the game to the newest version (2.10.0) and check if the issue is still there?
Thanks!

We prepared this update to fix some of the most frustrating bugs reported by players - not to cause new ones 😞. Unfortunately, there was an issue during the update process that caused a partial update to go live earlier than intended. This wasn’t supposed to happen.

The proper update (version 2.10.0) was released just a few hours later, bringing the full set of changes and fixes. If you’re still having performance issues, please update to version 2.10.0 and let us know if it helps. We’re here to make sure everyone has a better experience!

Is the game actually using EOS now?

And if so, why?

[piotr_wolk]

One of EOS dlls wasn't included properly in previous builds, which was one of probable causes of Runtime Error due to a conflict with Unity.

Previous versions had EOS included as well, they were just missing this one dll.

Thanks.

Is it just a leftover inert file, or does the game actually use EOS?

[piotr_wolk]

EOS is not used in the Steam version - it's only used by the Epic Store version of the game :)

Thanks for the clarification. :)

I managed to solve it by uninstalling the dlc free tilt five AR dlc, which for some reason installed along with the game, and returned to normal, but thanks for the help and the record is for those who have the problem

I'm also unable to load the game. Just sits at the first loading screen. I'm on Linux. I've checked install integrity. I don't think I have the DLC installed because I just had to click "Download" on it.

No extra information when run from the command-line. It just sits there until I kill it (you can see I waiting for 6 minutes).

Thanks for reporting it and sorry for the inconvenience. I've uploaded a fix to beta branch (password: scavengers20).

Could you check it out and let me know if it solved the issue?

Also, if it didn't, please send me your log files. Thanks!

[Hemebond]

I've tested the _development branch and it still does not load. Not sure where the log file is. Running from the command-line gives the same output as before.

OK, the beta branch was updated with a working version for tests. Seems to be OK. We should release an update to the public branch soon... Stay tuned ;-)
