List of Bug / Common Issue Fixes

[SamOfSaturn]

"Fatal Error" repeatedly happening:
Try setting your FPS to limit to 60, as well as enable Vsync. These are the only two fixes I and others have found so far, although one other "solution" I've found is not wearing any clothes during your run. It can increase the longevity between crashes.

Tip for finding "Appdata" for the next fixes, click Windows+R, then type "%appdata%" (or "C:\Users\(Your Username)\Appdata\" if that doesn't work) into the field.

Fatal Error on startup
This is caused by your Save_Crash file going awry in the data folder. Navigate to
C:\Users\(Your Username)\Appdata\Local\HalfSwordUE5\Saved, and then delete the entire SaveGames folder. It will fix the problem and the folder will automatically regenerate upon playing the game again.

"VHS" Effect on high graphics
This occurs when using an AMD system. Navigate to
C:\Users\(Your Username)\Appdata\Local\HalfSwordUE5\Saved\Config\Windows, click GameUserSettings.ini, and change "sg.EffectsQuality" to = 0. Make sure your graphics are set to your desired quality beforehand, because altering them in game after making the fix will reset EffectsQuality back to the appropriate (or, in this case, inappropriate) level. ‎ ‎ Fixed!

Flying across the map
Drop your weapons that are close to each other. Two bucklers on one hip, a buckler next to a sword, a mace next to a sword, an item on your hip bumping into your polearm, etc, are examples of "problematic" items. Try dropping the one you need the least, or drop everything except for the item in your hand and one on your hip (preferably one that your weapon wont be knocking into when you swing it).

Bodies being too easy to dismember
Increase "Body Density" in your gameplay settings. If you want it to be easier, decrease it.

Happy Half-Swording!

for me somtimes the weapon that are on a bench or table or in a gun rack or a box i go into it it kills me / dismember me. The same thing happens somtimes wen i kill somone and his weapon hits me. Wen the enemy was wearing armor i did not crash once. Sometimes the weapons get stuck in my hand. And somties the weapons get stuck in the enemy maces to.

Those are just issues with the physics, they're likely to be ironed out in the future. I'd just steer clear of weapons in general unless you plan on picking them up. I usually stay pretty far from any weapon rack unless it has something that catches my eye, because I know if I trip into it or am hit in its direction I'm liable to be cut open. Weapons can get caught on each other if you swing in a strange way, but I've found holstering the weapon or switching hands repeatedly can unjam them.

Additionally, you could probably prevent untimely dismemberment by lowering the body density so that grazing your body on a blade doesn't chop you to bits.

Best of luck!

I got sling shot across the map a couple times, pretty fun 10/10

-sidenote, i got the "body density" stuff mixed up at the end there, it's changed to actually reflect how it works! body density up = harder to cut, body density down = easier to cut

the sheathed sword bug is so funny, i got force pushed to the ground and cracked my head dying almost instantaneously

[thegoofygoblin]

There is a problem with holstered weapons where they send me and ai into the sky or just sends me flying. maybe because they get stuck inbetween the legs, which causes a problem with the boss that has abunch of swords because when i knock him down he ends up flying out of the ring.

[Runivard]

only allow damage to the player from enemies with equipped weapons. Im sick of tripping on something or killing myself because of freak physics ( items flinging around when im just trying to sheath or unsheath)

I had it set to 60 with v-sync from the get go, got a fatal error 30 minutes in.
Overall an interesting concept though, the combat is kinda fun but maybe a little too chaotic
