NOTES

THIS BUILD IS THE HEAVIEST BUILD I'VE RELEASED SO FAR!

LOWERING SHADOW QUALITY IS USUALLY THE FIX IF YOU HAVE PERFORMANCE ISSUES!
OTHERWISE, TRY LOWERING OTHER VIDEO SETTINGS UNTIL YOU ARE AT YOUR DESIRED FRAMERATE!

FATAL ERRORS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS RELATED TO PERFORMANCE ISSUES. IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING CRASHES TRY REDUCING YOUR GRAPHICS SETTINGS.
IF THIS DOESN'T HELP, CONTACT ME WITH SOME REPRODUCTION STEPS AND I'LL GET IT RESOLVED ASAP!

IF YOU ARE HOSTING A LISTEN SERVER (I.E. USING YOUR GAMING COMPUTER TO HOST A MATCH) AND IT KEEPS CRASHING, YOUR PC IS NOT POWERFUL ENOUGH TO HOST AND YOU WILL NEED TO WAIT UNTIL DEDICATED SERVERS ARE OUT.

I'M NOT ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE WEBSITE AND SUPPORT CONTACT. IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES, PLEASE CONTACT ME AT

KNOWN ISSUES:

For the moment, I am using text to speech for dialogue. I plan on replacing this as soon as possible.

Alt Tabbing will clear focus for your mouse. If you hold alt-tab and double click on the game screen to return it will resolve the issue. I'll have this fixed as soon as possible, but it looks like it might be an engine issue from what I've seen on the forums.

Boss fights are kinda lame. I'll be adding some cool intro FX/Cinematics later on.

Guide pictures are all displaying the raw meat icon for now. I'll have new pictures soon!

AI movement can be a little weird inside of buildings. I'll be improving this over the next few updates.

Abilities are still W.I.P. please contact me at the support email to let me know what issues you have!

The cloud sim/planet atmospheres look pretty bad. I'll have it fixed up when the other issues are cleaned up!

Terraforming around cities might have you walking on an invisible wall. Terraforming will be disabled near cities in a future update.

Random enemy spawners aren't firing in the Prologue, making it seem pretty dull when walking from point a to point b.

Entering your save game name can take a little time as the system goes through and ensures there are no duplicates.
