Q: My game is crashing/exiting when I launch it.

A: Check (username).log in the game folder, if it says anything about opengl or glsl or version 330 you need to update you graphics drivers! You should update your graphics drivers anyway.
Q: That didn't help. My log stops after "st_api".. ?
A: This means the game is crashing when trying to initialise the Steam api. I'm still looking in to it. I don't know why this happens or if there's anything I can do about it as the crash is inside Steam code...

Q: There's an invisible platform I can stand on just off the stage that falls away after about 80 seconds.

A: Yes there is.

Q: I can't see my friends on the leaderboards.

A: First make sure all your friends are playing Devil Daggers, then set your Steam profile to public and run the game once. You should see your friends now and you can set your profile back to private/friends only.

Q: I beat my high score but it didn't update in the leaderboards.

A: There might be a problem connecting to the server or the upload might be slow. Try waiting a few minutes as it should keep retrying if the upload fails. The game also has some cheat detection which can get triggered if the game is lagging a lot or if you're actually cheating.

Q: I always die right after the spider spawns.

A: Watch your back (and listen)... a "Hunter" skull spawns around the same time. They chase you and you can't outrun them. Listen for the sound of a skull laughing at you and prioritize it over everything else.

Q: I can't get to the level 2 hand. / Why is it so hard to collect gems?

A: The gems will attract to you when you're not shooting... take a break from shooting whenever you can and let the gems come to you. Gems fade out after 10 seconds, be careful that none go to waste.

Q: Devil Daggers is a hard game.

A: True. Check out the Steam Community guides for more help.

Q: Mac, Linux, GOG?

A: Soon, maybe, probably.

Q: I want more?

A: We will make some announcements in the near future. Follow us on twitter/facebook[www.facebook.com] if you want to stay updated.

[] more to come

Could you also answer the constant "Will there be more conent" question, please?

People have also constantly posted threads about a secret platform you can stand on for up to 80 seconds in the game.

So I can't play the game if my drivers are updated and I still get the 330 log!? Seriously? I can play every single damn game but of course not "high end" Devil Daggers?
My drivers are up to date. Never experienced that drivers would be a problem like that for games.

[m4ttbush]

Can you tell me what gpu you have adge and what driver version and I'll look in to it. Thanks

[crash your mom]

NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB

I'm on a mac so there are just apple drivers. But I'm using Parallels to emulate Windows. So there are no drivers either since they all come from Parallels itself. However I got no problems with other games. Every game I tried runs smoothly on Windows through Parallels. Even the AAA titles.
I'm sorry for my harsh last post. Maybe Parallels it the problem. But isn't there a workaround?

This might sound like an odd question, but humour me if you read this. Is the arena actually the top of a sphere?

[Spicy]

I just bought the game but whenever I play screen would turn red (assuming I died?) and then show the score board.

[Jimmy Rustler]

I know an announcement is coming, but I really hope you can port this engine into some kind of Hexen/Heretic style FPS.

Also you should make a shirt with the dagger above the hand logo from the title screen. I would but it.

When you fall off of it, it looks more like a pillar. How could you even fall off a sphere the way you do in this game?

Whoops, I didn't think of that. Nevermind!

It's funny cus' the dev got the game achievement but on the leaderboard he only lasted 460 seconds

[Seron, el Ungido Homosexual]

I can´t play this game too. My drivers are updated. I have a NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M 2048 MB. I´m on windows 7. Maybe openGL 3.3 is the problem. But i dont know. does Nvidia update it with the driver of the GPU ? or i have to look for a update of openGL?

I wait your answers. Tomorrow i will request a refund.

I've got the issue of the game popping up a window then disappearing. ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 here, I have no clue how to check on the driver version.
It would have been almost entertaining to watch my five-second bursts of 'play' time rack up to an hour, as it is I have i think twelve minutes.

So like five minutes after i stop following the game and hoping the issue is addressed this post shows up... Of course i don't check again for like a week. hello again

[m4ttbush]

adge: Sounds like a driver support issue in Parallels, is it possible to update Parallels, or update the drivers within it? Sorry I'm not familiar with it. The Mac version hopefully isn't too far away though..

Aural of Zynima: Haha, good question. It's more of an infinite pillar.

Spicy Milkshake: Sounds like the level file is corrupt so there's no ground. Try verifying the game cache on Steam.

YwD1ySm<3Dosia: Not currently sorry, planning to add an option to disable it in the future.

Asteo600:

Seron13: Can you post the contents of (username).log from your game directory. Thanks.

peanut53106: Can you please also post your .log (open in notepad). Sounds like it might be related to your drivers. I can try to help you update them if you like. What OS do you have?

Thanks

Haha I should get that emote :)

I did not say that in a hating way, I was curious whether the devs might get all the achievements for their game, at launch (that would make sense).

[crash your mom]

m4ttbush: Yeah I also updated Parallels too but seems like an unfixable problem at the moment. I think I will just wait for the OS X version. Could you give some information about the OS X version? How are you going to port Devil Daggers since it's not done with Unity I guess? So you can't just export it to Mac. Are you rewriting the platform specific code with Objective-C/Swift and then just hook the OpenGL code in there? Is the OpenGl code C++? Just interested as I'm learning Cocoa myself at the moment.
