Installation and Troubleshooting
For people new to SS Fusion:
How to install and play
1. Download Serious Sam Fusion

2. Make sure you have Serious Sam 3 installed through Fusion (DLC in Steam client)
- LIBRARY -> GAMES -> right click "Serious Sam Fusion 2017 (beta)" -> View Downloadable Content -> The line with "BFE" should have its STATE set to "Installed".

3. Subscribe to all individual levels and the network script resources.

4. Launch the game using the "play moddable"launch option
- the launch option menu should automaticly appear if you click on the play button in your Steam client.

5. In the main menu, go to Singleplayer -> Campaign and select "Serious Duke 3D"


VR: for a better VR experience, I recommend playing around with the scale options. On default settings, the world feels too big.
If you're on Oculus devices, go to game settings and change the the world scale to 1.14 and weapon scale to 0.80
If you're playing through SteamVR, go to the advanced SteamVR settings and change the worldscale from there.

"Unable to load level" errors:
If the level fails to load with the "unable to load level" message, it usually means that a file is missing or can't be read.
Since the workshop items contain all the neccessary files, it's possible that something is wrong with your installation.
-You can check which file is missing by looking in the console in game (tilde key), or opening the log file in your game install folder. (...SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Serious Sam Fusion 2017)
there is a "Log" folder that contains the log files.
Look for the last "ERR" line of the level load process, as this is usually the one related to the file.


Performance:
Some areas (mainly in E1L1) have performance issues.
I'm working on further optimizing the levels without sacrificing the visuals.
-I recommend to reduce the shadow size down to low or medium since this is the most demanding setting


Multiplayer:
Due to frequent updates and lack of playtesting, it's possible that you run into issues when playing online. There are also bugs with the Fusion engine breaking some scripts. You'll encounter things like dynmaic lights or cinematic models not being deleted on client side.


Other known issues:
-The mod is currently not combatible with the "Duke Nukem BFE" mod. You need to unsubscribe from it in order to play Serious Duke 3D. I will make both mods compatible once the final SD3D level is done.



Final note:
Please keep in mind that the mod is currently work in progress. All existing levels as well as the underlying game mechanics are still being worked on and getting updated more or less frequently.

Are you subscribed to Duke Nukem BFE? I think one of these errors is what you get when you have both SD3D and DNBFE mods installed.

Would love to play, however when I have the Duke content subscribed to, my SS3 freezes at the initial load screen. Is there a reason this is happening? The only mod I have subscribed for SS is this one and is actually the reason I bothered to even buy fusion and SS3. Thanks in Advance

have you tried it multiple times?
there might be a~15% chance fusion crashes randomly when loading a map.
Does vanilla SS3 Fusion work?
do you get any error message?

Everything works fine bud, My SSFusion and SS3 work perfectly, I installed the Centred weapons mod to test workshop content and I been slaughtering shiz man. When I unsubscribe to SD3D content, my fusion runs perfect, when I subscribe, then boot fusion, It loads my controller configs in the corner, great! All on track to kicking alien but I think, the load icon is animating, all is good...until it isn't, and the loading stops, the whole thing freezes, and I have to Ctrl, Alt, Del my way out. I can't even get to the title screen dude lol

that weird.
All I can help with atm is this:
-unsubscrie from this mod in case you did. (it doesn't work in combination with SD3D yet)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1372368267

-make sure to use the latest patch version and not the previous one in the Beta menu.

Maybe i can see what's the issue if you send me the log files, or post the respective "ERR" lines in here.

I have subscribed and unsubscribed alot lol, and I dont use DNBFE
(Though being a part time voice actor I had thought to make my own audio mod for that, giving Duke fluid dialogue)
Do you have a discord?
I am adamant to get this working as like I said, I only bought the fusion stuff at all because of your mod dude XD

Sorry for the inonvenience. If I could I'd make this mod stand alone and for free, but that's not an option atm.

Anyway, eventhough the mod should be working if you follow the steps in the first post, I recommend to wait a few more weeks if you can, because by then I should have released the last level, and with it a few updates to the first levels for a better experience overall.
Discord is Syn#4549 t'm however not online very often.

Hello there!

I did not understand Troubleshooting point 2 "Make sure you have Serious Sam 3 installed through Fusion (DLC in Steam client)".
Which DLC? To me does not seem possible to install SS3 through Fusion?

I already own SS Fusion, what i have to do? Also, I'm trying to buy SS3 Gold Edition and a message poped up:
"According to our records, you already own one or more of the items included in your cart.
If purchasing for yourself, you will not receive an extra copy of:
Serious Sam Fusion 2017 (beta)
Would you still like to continue with your purchase?"

As far i understand SS3 Gold Edition does not contain SSF, so, i'm trying to understand what does this mean, a bug or what else?

Can someone help and clarify all of this please? Is quite confused.

hello,
You basically need the standalone/original version of SS3. Fusion itself is just an engine and not a game per se. You will automaticly obtain a copy of Fusion when purchasing SS1HD or SS3.
If you own SS3 or SS1HD they will appear as DLC content for Fusion in the Steam client, and there's no need to install the standalone games.

I am stuck at the start the very first level - where do I go? I see the red outline around the steel girder, but shooting it does nothing - what am I supposed to do? Sorry if dumb.

Also, falling off the roof prompt a reload, but the game can't find a savegame and throws me back to the title screen - kinda annoying.

P.s.: Impressive intro!

You have to shoot the metal-thing on the cables, not the seelbeams themselves.

If you scroll down on the mod's page:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1432570016
There are all the required items listed. Just click the green plus icons on them.

If you did that and have SS3 installed in Fusion, you shoul be good to go.
