Outrunning the cops seems broken.

[pluckylump]

I was finally able to outrun them by constantly jumping which looked ridiculous. Otherwise they would catch me easily. Like I was fundamentally incapable of running fast enough.

Yeah, I dont know if there is an idea solution to that, the only way I was able to get through that part on the crane was doing the puzzle with zero delay, which was not fun and was only possible after failing each step of crane puzzle multiple times to learn it the hard way.

You have to tab in to cctv and keep moving (you can still move while in cctv) while turning the crane before a cop gets on it and also raising the platform while turning. So that when you get to that side you beat the cop running down the ramp

[Lolo]

Crane part is easy when you finally realise what to do. Took me few tries. Just jump on the tip of the crane, start moving platform up (the one on right from the crane), then start turning the crane. Don't use the option to make the crane shorter. It's there probably to make you ovethink things.

The crane part wasn't my issue. I couldn't even get to the crane without the cops easily over taking me before the billboard.

Me too, it's not fun.

Man, I had no problem at all running from the cops, and I only jumped whenever there was a gap. Are you using a controller?

uh that's not normal lol

That was the part i hit alt + F4 . not fun and unclear. Yeah i got the crane to turn but there are more demo's to try.

Weird, seems like something was fundamentally broken regarding the actual movement speed for you guys? I thought the whole sequence was pretty neat, good way to showcase the swapping of control style and using the environment.

Yeah, like I said. It seemed like a bug.

that is usually the critical uninstall/refund point of any game, and still many devs not getting it, you cannot annoy player, who yet did not invested much into your game. At the point player doesn't yet know if game is any good or not, and attention span is fragile, that was ALT + F4 for me, because despite it looks nice, I still don't know if it's game for me. And because I'm lazy + adhd, it's end of a game so far lol. Will try maybe later with full version... or not.

Same the Tintin: Cigars, annoying papyrus catching with that horrible PC controls, and same was with the Telltale's Expanse, once game wanted me to fly through killing laser rays, after 3rd death I was like: you know what? It's not that good game anyway to waste time on this just wanted to relax, not fighting with 40+ years old gameplay mechanic, that is there just to include some lame gameplay into interactive movie

Hi pluckylump!

I understand that you had this problem in the demo? I myself had to repeat the crane puzzle several times, but you should have no problem escaping from the guards in the previous section. In fact, there is a checkpoint just before the crane. If you could send a video to the support desk we would appreciate it: https://rawfury.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1

Thank you!

I submitted a ticket and I'm putting the video here, too, so anyone can judge my obvious mistakes.

Hmm, no mistake I can see. It looks correct. Just doesn't seem like you are running fast enough.

I believe the game uses catch-up mechanics (known in racing games as rubber banding) to make sure you aren't TOO GOOD at outrunning cops. Possibly this mechanic is stuck on, giving the interceptors a slight speed boost more than normal. Are you running at an increased framerate? Some games can have bad game logic when running in un-restricted rates.

Amusingly, one section of the game, it rubber banded a cop at me he ran at double speed, and never slowed down. got caught within seconds. On reload, he was back to their snail's pace.

That's a thought. My monitor is 75Hz, but there doesn't appear to be a game setting to limit the framerate other than vsync. Without vsync the game runs at more than double that framerate.
