Can't play the game

[GabbyWhite96]

I don't know how anyone gets this game to actually work. The only time I've been able to play it was when it first came out over two years ago. And before anyone asks, my computer meets all the specs and more. I don't know what to do with it anymore.

I have noticed the game is running laggy and sluggish on my system since the latest update, which has gotten worse with the 0.5.9 patch. I just live streamed the game and highlighted all of the current bugs this version of the game has https://youtu.be/uh8tVfu7kJ4 the stream is broken in to chapters with each bug highlighted therein.

The game definitely needs optimization in the graphics department, I have tried to adjust all of the sliders for graphics to go as low as possible but the game still plays with the same type of lag, which is really noticeable with the bowling.

i agree, i loved this game but over the past year i haven't been able to play it as its just so laggy and doesn't play correctly. i have tried contacting the makers of the game and they told me my computer didn't meet the specs but it absolutely does.

[GabbyWhite96]

Exactly; like I said my computer meets all the specs PLUS more and it just keeps crashing. In a previous update, I could "play" if you want to call it that, but I was getting like one FPS lol. It sucks I just really wanna play it ya know?

Why is the developer not paying attention to these bugs? Fixing a garbage can so it doesn't make cups disappear seems insanely low on the list of necessary fixes when people with up to date computers still cannot play, We are paying for a game most of us have not been able to fix and I'm sorry, but when more than half of your gamers are unable to play this but can any other game, it isn't our systems.

doesnt boot up anymore maybe becuz of windows 11 upgrade

[GabbyWhite96]

Huh. I wonder if that's the issue here? Does anyone have windows 10 or has tried downgrading? If not I might try and report back.

I still have Windows 10 and it was still happening for me around this time. I haven't tried since the December 25th update but will comment back if I'm still having the issue after loading it.

The game is completely unplayable for me now. It took almost twenty minutes to load and when it finally did, there are no options. It gets to the "Press Enter to Continue" prompt and when I press enter, all it does is full screen and then window mode the screen with every press of "enter". I cannot get it to go beyond this menu. I had my settings set to High previously with no lag issues but after the update, even low is causing severe lag to the point where it takes almost three seconds for my mouse pointer to respond from one side of the screen to the other.

Darn it. Was hoping that might have been the issue. Would have been an easier fix. I know the game can work because I had my brother try it on his computer so if it's a hardware issue the dev really needs to update the recommended specs. Many of us wouldn't have bought it if we knew. I mean my computer can run the Sims 4 with thousands of mods/cc and every expansion pack plus some pretty hard hitting RPGs so this really shouldn't be an issue for it but idk.

That's where I'm at. I can play TS4, The Witcher 3, all Assassin's Creeds; pretty much any high graphic game, with no problem. I was having similar issues trying to play Ranch Simulator and realized my graphic's card was out of date so updated it and RS worked. I was hoping for the same fix with this and it got worse; now it won't open, period.

The game is completely unplayable for me a well. It won't get off the first screen that explains the early access it just crashes.

Well, as far as optimization it usually doesn't happen until right before game release date, at least with most games, and if they have debuging reporting on they are looking at the code I am pretty sure. The extra processes it takes to create though reports can cause games to lag a bit.
