Pre-launch Demo bug reporting

[2 Left Thumbs]

Alongside launch, we're publishing a brand new demo build!
(It's not live quite yet. I'm just preparing)

To keep these discussions clean and organized, I am pooling all old bug reports into one thread. This will make it easier for us to see which bugs have been properly squashed, and which lingering few have squeezed through the cracks.

Thank you all for your detailed reporting! It's been invaluable for polishing the game heading towards that Oct 7th launch

Demo bugs

There are a few issues with it currently.
1. The display settings accessed from F5 don't save, even though the box has an option to save them. I need to open it and select the resolution again every time because it always starts in a tiny window.
2. If a gamepad is plugged in at all, the game becomes unplayable as it acts like up is always being held down. You can't navigate down in menus and as soon as you get to movement the character will just move up. Disabling Steam Input didn't help this; I could only get it to work by unplugging all controllers (one DirectInput, the other XInput) and playing with the keyboard.
3. An enemy in the cave area walked through the top of a cliff to the area above it, which it shouldn't have been able to do.
4. Walking onto coins / switches often doesn't trigger any reaction and I needed to repeatedly walk onto them to get them to trigger.
5. The FPS is incredibly unstable. Sometimes the game runs smoothly, other times the FPS chugs heavily, and the game switches between these states on a dime. I know RPGMaker isn't exactly known for great performance but it usually isn't this inconsistent.

1. Try F4 (or ALT+F4) for toggle fullscreen
As for 4: That happens mostly when running, walking will trigger them most of the time (even the transfer points).

I didn't want it in full screen though, I was using the 3x window option.

Ditto on the gamepad issue, though instead of acting like up was constantly held down, for me it just stopped registering 'up' as an input option at all. Down still worked, but not up.

Oh yeah, another thing was the running movement itself. After climbing ladders, jumping off ledges, or changing screens, the game would often reset to walking movement and I'd need to stop moving and start again to go back to running.

xbox 360 controller wired

How do I use the controller?

[Firefly130984]

As far as all discussions go, controllers are not really featured, and even when you get it running then with issues.

Best play with the keyboard.

I was able to play myself with an Xbox controller. It's been confirmed to work with other games on Steam?
Maybe you have certain controller types deactived?
With the controller plugged in, go to Steam > Settings.
There should be a Controller option (or Controller Configuration)
> General Controller Settings
From there, you should be able to enabe/disable/reconfigure different controller options.

Please let us know if this helps! Ideally, we'll add proper key rebinding, and the ability to manage this sort of solution in-game. But it's been a challenge to add into RPGMaker.

Ohh, is that why I couldn't walk down at all? Because my controller was plugged in.
Also yeah, every time the game starts in a tiny window

Linux proton problem

The game loads fine and everything seems to work except the up arrow key appears to be always active. I can't scroll up in the menus and once in game, my character constantly moves upwards.

[Adoru]

The same here, had to boot into Win10, which I don't like to do.
Native Linux version seems to be promised on full release, though.

I was also unable to use a controller, Xbox 1, and going and changing to the alternate Xbox controller stuff and it didn't help

Game closes immediately on start-up

Anyone else having this issue? When I open the game the window shows briefly then immediately exits.

[Rapturous Games]

Hey Bennyr.
Thank you for posting about this. Did you get any specific error message when the game closes? Is it on the title screen where this happens, or even before that shows up?

Sadly unplayable (fixed !)

Hi there

Since i can't pass any judgement to the demo, i'll just stick to the title :
I can't activate the controller (ps4) for this demo. DS4 doesn't work , this has been confirmed in other feedbacks, as well as people using xbox controllers. So i tried on keyboard, but it was also impossible, as the UP button is strangely always active! The character always goes up, i can go left or right, but i can't really control anything else.

I had other games that didn't take any controller (either i used DS4, or the keyboard, which i am pretty bad at), but this is surely the first time i saw this kind of symptoms

I hope there will be some patches (or another demo in the near future?)
have a nice day
