Updates?

[Fideo]

I am thinking of buying the game and have been reading user reviews.
Most of the negative reviews of this game are based on crashes, poor performance, and extremely long loading times.

Have there been updates from the developer to fix these issues?
On the steam website there is nothing about updates.

What is the current status of the game?

I and many others have none of those issues - zero crashes, full fps, and appropriate load times. Every game on steam has people complaining about those same items because of their weak hardware. I'm sure they'll optimize and put out fixes for repeatable issues, but if you like HOD, just buy it and refund if you have any of those issues and they are impactful.

I have a good rig dude and sometime the game is very long to load... so there are some problems for sure... We are still waiting an official patch to fix the local 2P mouse/lightguns, I don't know if they are goin to fix it....

I have all versions except the PS4 version (yet). But the PS4 version will have move support patched in, and when it does, I'll probably prefer that version. Though I enjoy the Steam version using the WiiMote (w/ Dolphin Bar) as a gun. I haven't tried the Switch version yet because I'm waiting on my physical collector's edition ($150 - ugh). I'm not hearing good things about using the joycons precision as a gun, but I ordered the gun attachment anyway (shaped like a shotgun). The Xbox One version (on Series X) has very fast load times, unlike the Steam version's initial loading time. But the Xbox version doesn't have zombie dead bodies laying around. In all other version, the zombie bodies melt away. Also, on the Xbox version there is no option to disable the "Reload!" voice, unlike the Steam version. Believe me, hearing "Reload!" every couple seconds gets annoying. I am wondering if mouse support will be added to the Xbox version though, for then I think the Dolphin Bar / Wiimote will work on the Xbox version too. The Xbox version, to me, has better graphics and colors than my Steam version (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080).

Yeah, they need to add rawinput for sure. A dev literally said it was SUPPORTED on here before release and for that to be "inaccurate" is pretty crazy. Haven't seen that before.

I have the Switch version but I can't stand the gyro and having to 'reset/center' it constantly. It's like a nagging chore you have to do every 20-30sec. Not the devs fault, that's just how gyro is in rail shooters (just like Blue Estate on PS3). If Switch had IR like Wii, wouldn't be a problem but I totally get why Nintendo did not want to go down that road again.

Mouse/Wiimote works great for me and all i need

Played many different paths from start to finish with no issues. No crashes, no poor performance, and load times on my end are quick. Game works perfect as long as you have the system to support it, plus there is a fan patch if you Google or check guides in Steam to allow light guns.

yea I know dude I'm a Sinden User so I know for the unofficial patch, but we don't want unofficial solution We want a real patch, it is a real mess because this patch breaks some features in the game and you have to use AHK script to switch weapons as an example. This unofficial patch is Great yes ! but not perfect...

That's cool man, glad it works for you. You should def go for all weapons if you haven't already. Here's a fun challenge, try doing a 1CC(1 Credit Clear) Original Mode Arcade difficulty Classic Scoring Handgun only run! It's been a fun challenge so far for me :)

I'm most definitely not in the best position to be talking about Performance or load times given my PC specs (3080TI, Intel I9 11th Gen), but for me Load Times are around 2-5 seconds, Performance almost never goes below 130 FPS on 1440P, Maximum settings and the game has never once crashed for me.

Yeah, I'm going to try to unlock all weapons.
There is also an enemy that hasn't been unlocked for me in the gallery, I will try more paths to find it too.
:D

hard to say... i was able to play the game fine when i first booted it up, Ran through the game and horde mode (pistol only, that was fun, lol) just fine beyond some odd graphical related issues with the endings not showing up and the "demo" not showing up either.

Now i'm lucky if i can even load up a game or even the gallery...it just hangs at either 20% or 80% loaded and i gotta force kill the game cause 10 mins have passed and the creaking wood is driving me insane.

I'd say wait for a patch..if only because there's no consistent average of if the game is solid or broken across the playerbase.
