Bug reporting

[2 Left Thumbs]

With a *brand new* demo build, and the full release coming in just under a week, it felt like the right time to start fresh with a new bug reporting thread.
Through this new demo and upcoming release, we've squashed many bugs, and added as many quality of life features as we could. There's polish, bug squashing, controller support, fullscreen, and many more options and enhancements.

The game should be the best it's ever been!

Thank you all so much for playing Dead Estate. If you encounter any bugs while testing things out, please let us know!

I was trying to view the gamepad buttons and going into the controls settings they are invisible. Sounds do play and it seems to rebind controls, but I can't actually see them. I am also unable to re-rebind the controls and as such they stay even after reinstalling the game

Hmm, that's a new one for sure. Could you please let us know what kind of controller you were using?

I'm using a Logitech F710, which uses the Xbox configuration by default. There's not issue there since games detect it as an Xbox controller, but I can't view any controls at all

Ok, so disconnecting my gamepad and using the keyboard allows me to see the bindings, then reconnecting the gamepad show the buttons. Seems like a slight overslight, if this can be fixed it would be greatly appreciated. Controls-wise, works great

This is a tough one! It seems like the binding originally showing up as invisible was a pretty specific bug/glitch! I'm glad you got it working again, and hopefully we can figure out what went wrong to fix it. Thanks for getting back to us and sharing more info!

edit: found how to start the game (you might want to make it more obvious or automatically move the cursor over to the play button as it not clear).

still have the issue with the key binding screen not showing you anything.

also a few of the sound effects seem to come in a lot louder than others and causes them to distort. The enemy hit sounds (especially on the first boss) and the "cleared" thud sound distorts. Not sure if its how the sound is or if its turned up too loud but a bit of audio mixing throughout the game would be good.

In heart/skull room, the skull model often looks positioned in front of heart despite being behind

While on Floor 3, Chunks got stuck in the wall, so I recorded it to cement his suffering on this discussion. In all seriousness, I simply think that he couldn't get past a part of the wall.

When there are tables against the walls towards the camera (meaning the walls that you see through into the room) you can jump on them and walk outside of the area, you can still hit enemies so it can be used as a cheese strat. Loving the game!

spelling error in witch's shop. bigger bullets reads as "bigger bulets"

Maybe it's a bug, maybe not, but the damage sound effect sounds like a door shutting or something. Super jarring

We *think* we were able to patch this one in time for launch. Hopefully nobody else encounters this problem, but please let us know if you do!

We've had a few people mention the gun/impact sfx mixing. We are looking to address this, either by tweaking specific audio levels, or by adding more control over audio settings

My game crashed when I quit as Cornelia while Chunks was chasing me with one HP left

I got the true ending but before I could see the ending cut scene I got a fatal error in my game because of the pumpkin familiar

You can clip shots outside of the play area through corners. It's not that big of a deal and I've only noticed it with bouncing shots when I'm in the corner shooting up; but I imagine it isn't intended and it does very SLIGHTY lower dps occasionally. Really not a big deal but it is a thing.

edit: upon playing some more it looks like you can just shoot outside walls in general if you get close to them and aim outside, i don't know if that's what I might've been doing but to re-iterate it's a really minuscule tidbit anyways.
