New development version of Steam patch 1.16 (build: 79649) & Steam Trading Cards are now available

[Zyddie]

Since the release of the 1.16 version, which brought PC players various fixes and features like keybinding, FOV slider, and Ultrawide screen support, we have identified a number of new issues. To address them, we have prepared a hotfix that should make your experience as originally intended. In order to bring you the fix as soon as possible, but also to allow ourselves the necessary time for more testing, we are releasing a beta version of the fix on Steam, accessible to every owner of the game on an opt-in basis. Please be aware that opting in means playing a version of the game that may not be 100% stable.

WARNING: Before you opt-in to play the Development branch on Steam, we strongly recommend that you back up your current save files. Your new saves will most likely not be compatible with the regular game if you later opt out of the Development branch.

See patch-notes for details.

How to back up WOTH save files on Windows:
1. Locate your local save files here: %localappdata%\WayOfTheHunter\Saved
2. Copy the files to a different folder for later use

How to opt in to the Development branch on Steam:
1. Go to your Steam Library, right-click on Way of the Hunter and select "Properties"
2. Go to the tab titled "Betas"
3. Enter the code "WotHBugHunting" in the empty field and click "Check code"
4. In the drop-down box, select the newly appeared "Development branch"
5. Let the game download the new patch

Again, playing the game on the Development branch will most likely ruin your save for the stable version. Back up your save files!

We will be grateful for any and all feedback and bug reports via Redmine (when creating a ticket, please make sure that you enter the correct version): https://steamcommunity.com/app/1288320/discussions/0/3464976518724748990/

Oh, and before you check out the Development branch, some pleasant news. Steam Trading Cards are now available for Way of the Hunter. Gotta hunt them all!

Have a great weekend and good hunting!

Performance is back to normal.
Thanks

By the way, could you please also include Steam Cloud support, so that we can play the same savegame in different computers.

[Karpatenhund]

Good job guys, make this game the.best hunting game on the market.

[Sarmatus]

So its pretty much pointless to do more than testing with the dev branch because the save files will most likely not work later on with the normal branch.

Great.

I really like that you added trading cards. However, I got four Mouflon. Which might be bad luck. Or is it?

[ZZredragon]

If you are on windows 10 try go to system settings, storage, temp files and delete the directX shader cache and whatever else you want to clean then go to Nvidia files in C:\Users\AppData\Local\NVIDIA\DXCache and do the same just to be safe

see if it will start

Also you can try go to the games EXE file and right click properties compatibility, disable fullscreen optimizations and Change high DPI settingsOverride high DPI scaling behaviour scaling performed by System Enhanced

F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\WayOfTheHunter\WayOfTheHunter\Binaries\Win64

WayOfTheHunter-Win64-Shipping.exe

It may also be something to do with your save files not being read properl.

If you are on the old save structure your save files will be here in a list of 5 or 6 saves files.
C:\Users\AppData\Local\WayOfTheHunter\Saved\SaveGames I can suggest to move the latest auto save if you have this list of save files to your desktop and you can replace it back if it doesnt work.

The new save file location for the game has been moved to

C:\Users\AppData\Local\WayOfTheHunter\Saved\SaveGames\Account_76561197971620421

it will automatically move the save file location and assign an account number to your save folder as shown above for the new save location, also the save file structure was changed so the game needs to read the old save data and convert it to new save data and a restart of the game may be required after you get it working.

dont do everything all at once

I dont suggest manually moving the saves to the new location or using my example of account folder it may need to create that automatically.
