New beta update

[slxpress]

Developer, you should probably make this announcement a sticky in the discussions. Probably any time you release a beta update or an offical game update, but this one in particular addresses a lot of comments being made in General Discussions:

As the developer has noted in specific replies, the crossbow bolt recipe now creates 6 bolts instead of one. A lot of the crafted weapons have had their stats improved. A few more of the basic components can now be crafted. The important thing for people to realize is that not only are the developers active in the discussion forums, they're also still putting out updates.

They're also watching our bug reports. It's just important to be able to replicate bugs, so either provide a save file or give a specific circumstance that the developer can recreate on their own.

Also, unpin "The big list [ITEMS]" until you're in a position to keep it updated. It's not a big deal, but as it is it's a pinned thread that's not all that useful.

Thanks for the advice)

I'll make your topic sticky for now if you don't mind.

If I unpin that topic, I'll forget about its existence entirely. I'll make myself add all the new items at the weekend) Feel free to give me a nudge if it's not updated by Monday.



Small update. We've found why the ladders and hatches are not highlighted and I think we should get it fixed later to night and release the patch in the default branch tomorrow.

Haha! You're doing great, man. Sure, as a favor I'll try to help out, but it's not a big deal. It's fun finding new items I had no idea existed before.

[slxpress]

Ha! Well, if you're on a mac, I wouldn't download the beta.

I haven't tried a new game yet. But when I "Continue" the game comes up, but "Loading..." stays in the bottom right corner. I hear the background music, and I can move my character around, including LMB to swing my melee weapon, but tab no longer brings up the character menu. It changes the cursor from a green circle to an arrow, and back again, but that's it.

Also, no other icons are on the screen. I left the game at night, so the screen is black, but I can make out items in the room I'm in.

Anyway, interesting update. Not sure if you can duplicate it or not. I'd be glad to send you a save file if you'd like.

Hmmm...still can't find the save file.

That's the path I'm looking at, but I don't see any save files there.

I went back and turned the beta option to none. Game reloaded, and now loads up with my past save just fine.

I don't know if any of this helps. Sounds like in order to truly test out the beta I might need to start a whole new game, which I don't mind doing, but I'd want to save this game first. But I can't find the save file.

Спасибо за вашу работу!

its not only a mac problem. i also couldnt load my savegame from the original game with the beta version that i'm now running.

so should we use this thread to post our issues with the beta release?

if yes, then i just found an item duplication bug. simply by putting single items into a container. for instance, when i put 1 charcoal into a cupboard, it gets listed twice in the cupboards inventory. but only one of them really counts as an item, the other one kinda disappears after moving it back to my inv. BUT if u drop the duplicated items on the floor instead, they seem to get treated as seperate items and after picking them up, they really are duplicated. i tried that with 1 spade and now i have 7 of them. it works for stackable and non stackable items. also if u have at least a stack of 2 charcoal in the container and add 1 from ur inventory, the stack in the container shows 4 charcoal instead of 3. it actually seems to work for all stackable items, charcoal was just an example. and it works both ways, items get duplicated in containers aswell as in ur own inventory. i'll send u guys my savegame. hope u enjoy the collection of spades in my cupboard :D

Wow devs I am pleasantly surprised at the fast acting going on here!

[NeoG]

I can confirm the bug that Max reports. It actually duplicates all items, it looks like. Couldn't properly load previous save. Reverted to stable build. Please don't force upgrade if you cant make saves compatible devs. You can leave the previous (the current) build available for use.

[slxpress]

Well, I think that's part of the point in having a beta build.

I get the idea of feeling pressure to put updates out. Especially with the crap show the first page of reviews looks like at the moment. It doesn't even seem fair. This is a solid game, but you'd never know it looking at recent reviews.

But yeah, the beta build is not ready for prime time. Still looks like a fun build once they get the issues ironed out.

[430satori]

It might be due to the newer version of unity. We're cheking this out.

The build works fine if you start a new game.

[slxpress]

Yeah, I have no problems starting a new game. I look forward to doing so, actually. But I cannot find the save file on my mac to save my life, so until I do so I'm going to work through this playthrough to the end, then start a new character.

I'm looking forward to starting over, to be honest. But I'd really like to see this playthrough to the end, first, if I can't do both simultaneously. And without knowing where that save file is, I can't do both. This really is such a fun game. I'm glad I found it and tried it out.

here's a link how to locate ur saves:

[slxpress]

Thank you. The developer already gave me that link in a reply to a thread I started, which made me feel abashed that I hadn't seen the sticky.

Unfortunately, the save file is not there that I could see. There's the Frozen State program itself, and a folder for translations, but no save file. But thank you for trying to help.

I can confirm the duplication glitch is functional(and dangerous), the item is stable when the lower is dropped first, but be warned, clicking "Take All" when the item has been dupped in the inventory will reset your game immediately following a crash(granted I did not exit before attempting, it may just "Reset" the last play session, still testing.), you start with the same items you started with in the last game, the house changes, and all progress is lost, I replicated this 5 times. As for saves, I backed mine up and started a new one, the game is far more unstable in this beta with that dup glitch, but going to make the most of it.

Edit: Yeah, the sad fact is that it is unplayable in the current state with the item dup bug, there also seems to be graphical glitches on both upper corners that are annoying and block health, stam, temp, and flashlight, but it only seems to happen outside of the house. I will be switching out of beta and using my back up til the next beta, good luck fixing the item bug. :)

[430satori]

Guys, we made a new build, it's in the beta. The good news your old saves should be playable now. The duplicate items and subsequent crashes have been fixed too.

Please let us know if you find anything else.

Thanks
