First of all, if you encounter a low-level fatal error when starting the game, please delete this file: UnrealLustTheory_PCD3D_SM6.upipelinecache located in: C:\Users\YOUR NAME\AppData\Local\UnrealLustTheory\Saved
EDIT: A player has found a fix. While it's not ideal, we hope this issue will be resolved with a future driver update. After deleting the file, create a new folder and name it exactly the same (UnrealLustTheory_PCD3D_SM6.upipelinecache). Then, start the game again. This workaround should prevent the low-level fatal error from appearing for now.
BTW: If you don't have a C drive, you can locate the %APPDATA% folder by pressing the Windows Logo Key + R to open the Run dialog box. In the box, type %APPDATA% and press Enter. This will open the "Roaming" folder. Go one directory back, select "Local," and then find the UnrealLustTheory folder.
To navigate back, look for a path like .../Path/AppData/Roaming at the top of the File Explorer and click AppData to return to the main directory.
Just a hint: type %localappdata%, not %appdata% and it will get you directly to %userprofile%\Appdata\Local
Now that’s out of the way, let’s greet everyone properly!
Hey everyone, we’ve missed you so much! We’re aware that we haven’t released an update for a month now, but we’re thrilled to bring you this one.
So, what’s been happening in the meantime, you ask?
Well, we’ve completed the exterior of the college location! That’s exciting because it means our 3D artist has now moved on to working on an outdoor location—the city of Lustridge, which we’re calling an “Open World” area. Let us know what you think of the name Lustridge! Got any better suggestions?
We’ve also made a big decision regarding Sandbox mode and Story mode.
- Sandbox mode will stay the same, filled with animations that won’t necessarily be used in the Story mode, so you’ll always have something special and unique to enjoy there.
- Story mode will include all the locations from the original game but with a different story than LT S1 and S2. The beginning will remain the same for a seamless flow, but everything else will be enhanced.
Holiday brake
Inceton Games is going on its annual Christmas break. We’ll be off work for two weeks to recharge our batteries. This year has been full of surprises and hard work—countless hours were spent creating Unreal Lust Theory and supporting our studio with other projects. We poured our hearts into everything, and we want to thank you all for supporting us and giving us the opportunity to create an Unreal Engine game that, hopefully, everyone will love once it’s completed. Here’s to making next year as great—or even better—than this one!
Okay, okay, enough rambling—time to talk about what you’ve been waiting for (we did promise you a Christmas present, after all)!
Drum roll, please...
- Build of the game in the newest version of Unreal (5.5.0) + bug fixes + plugins update
- New character Sophie
- 3 main + 12 finish animations with Sophie (tell us what you think—be honest—our new animator worked hard to prepare her for these animations)
- Christmas decorations and holiday spirit
- 2 Christmas quests
- 1 seasonal achievement
- 3 explicit kissing animations under the Mistletoe
- 1 main + 4 finish Jessica cuddle animations on Jessica's bed
- New clothes (available only for the 3 main girls)
- New narrative design and buttons (note: holding CTRL to skip every dialogue was a bug, and it’s now fixed in UE 5.5. You can still skip dialogues by pressing, not holding)
- 1 main + 4 finish animations with Ellie (part of the quest)
- 7 main animations with Megan (part of the quest)
- 7 main animations with Jessica (part of the quest)
- 30 unique wallpapers you can get only inside the ULT. 15 full HD wallpapers from last year and 15 new ones in 4K (we should’ve done 4K earlier, so that’s the standard from now on)
Last but not least:
- A lot of you said the character speed is too slow, and now you can change it in the Commands menu!
- Also, we’re working on a phone system that will look similar to what we have in the Commands menu. We need your help—what do you think would be the best use for a phone in ULT? Let us know what features you’d like to see!
- Lastly, some of you mentioned needing an option to choose between pressing and holding SHIFT to sprint. We heard you, and now that option is available in the Settings menu.
We’re incredibly grateful for your continued support—thank you for the 20+ positive reviews on Steam in the last 30 days! Your feedback reassures us that we’re on the right track, and we can’t wait to share the full story and completed game with you.
Please note that the game’s price will increase once Story mode "Day 1" is released, so get the game while it's cheap and on different discounts.
Happy Holidays!
We wish you and your loved ones a wonderful holiday season. You’ll hear more from us next year. 2025 is going to be epic!
With Love,
ULT team
