This game rocks in VR. It's janky but only a little, and the spectacle and depth of the world really makes up for it. Love the music too

why did my vehicle fabricator thing just dissapear from where it was floating around my base?

was it all the loving sand sharks hanging out near the door? (came across a trio of them recently whod gotted tangled up emerging from the sand and just stuck there half underground. had a cathartic time knifing)

Oh god my cyclops dissapeared after I reloaded the save I made after crafting it. Took me forever to build that thing. Looks like there might be a workaround but I'm not sure I can be bothered now :/

It's repeatedly going through the menus that makes the actual crafting a drag to me.

One way to add tension instead of boredom and draw out progression oxygen tank-wise could be to make air pipes and the dive reel more useful so there's a literal lifeline back to the surface you're dependent on until you get more tanks, the minisub etc.

Tried the discord before and whoever was there refused to acknowledge the problem could be fixed. Tried to blame players poo poo pcs.

Is there a link to confirm they've hired staff to fix it? Dead game otherwise

I dont know why you wouldnt check the claims of serious graphics issues before posting accusations of bias when its so easy to bork development.

Apparently the devs trello has pop in being fixed!...

Just :lol: at the internet in 2018 where no matter who you are or what you do you will instantly gain a fanatic following telling you that everything you do is perfect and any dissidents will be bumrushed by your loyal brokebrains and driven off in a cacophony of "guess you don't understand games development".

Games gonna be good tho, it just could be a lot better with just a few easy steps and some more focus where it actually matters.

Its such a great game. Theres grind but the gameplay and worldbuilding are so fun it's relatively easy to enjoy anyway. It could be VRs first really killer game. Just makes it all the more frustrating waiting for the fixes.

Yo, this eliminates pop-in, but the impact on performance is severe. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1279642367

Modders fixed the game for them. Perfect. (Or will do once they've worked on it a bit apparently)

Shame he had to go. Some of the music in this game is just about perfect. Presumably he refused to apologise or you'd think they'd have kept him. Maybe he's as obnoxious in person.

The music is so obnoxious I tried to play with it on and eventually just had to give up.

Really? Agree the triggers and playback timing etc. are poo poo but I loved the tracks for what they are. Not sure what kind of music could do a better job. Personal taste though I guess.

So, the visibility mod seems to work, but has a weird side effect - stalkers are now all over the safe shallows because (I assume) they can see the fish there to eat. Additionally they seem to home in on me, even if I'm in the lifepod.

Doesn't bode well for warpers and more dangerous fauna.

Hows performance now?

Just making sure, the LOD/popin is really amazingly bad for everyone in this game, right? Nothing on my compy is broken?

Theres a fix if you google but its very demanding on your machine (I wonder if it would work at all in vr)

I haven't gotten around to actually tinkering with their terrain code yet to see what I could tear out to replace with a cached-model version, but it looks like they really did go 100% deep on the voxel engine for everything. I'll eventually figure out where to start converting everything, and then we'll see how much more performance could be gained.

Slay the popin. Please. You know its the right thing to do.

Wonder what happened to Steve and why so much went unfixed.

Stillsuit is totally worth it. It's a free 20+ hydration every so often. It drastically increases your loiter time.

I think this might be dependent on your computer, better computers can see farther because they have a better video card and more ram and therefore there can be more things on screen at once.


It's the same with literally any system spec, bizarrely. Been that way for ages. There's a mod out there that gets rid of it but at some sort of performance cost. Someone here posted about working on it too. The devs don't seem likely to try.

They are showing as 94% positive on Steam and received anywhere between good and "glowing" reviews from most game sites. If anything, they have been proven that shipping with bugs (even game breaking) and almost completely ignoring major performance problems won't affect sales or reception in any meaningful way. So uh, why would they spend any resources fixing those things now...

It's so depressing. The poo poo people get away with. Oh well, maybe the fanbase will fix it someday.

Oh so like instead of using say 3D Max/Maya to model the map they're using an in-game editor. Huh, I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing since the original Starcraft where the editor was powerful/robust enough to create the campaign maps. weird

Hopefully they at least dealt with the popin.
