Dear Fossil Hunters!
Thank you for participating in the game launch with us, watching the stream and sharing first feedback. We noticed that some of you had issues with the game which most of the time are related to 2 reasons:
- It's possible you've played a demo, prologue or beta version before and that there are some configuration files left on your PC from previous version of the game which interfere with the current version. To solve this please do the steps from FAQ Question #7 (here).
- Another reason might be related to non-standard hardware of your PC. We are a small team and we couldn't test the game on all the different monitors and GPUs available on the market, but we will try to fix those remaining issues as fast as we can.
In fact we have already prepared a Day 0 Patch which is currently available for all of you to test on our public_testing branch on Steam.
If you want to test if the game works better on the new version - just open the game's properties on Steam and switch the beta branch to public_testing:
Changelog 1.0.3:
FEATURES:
- Optimized loading time
- Game Flow Improvements
- Improved start button on loading screen for some languages
- Improved intro museum waypoint
- Generator, Pump, Canister UI polished
- Awarded Screenshot added to Garage
- Added Forklift reset system
FIXES:
- Fixed some Excavation Triggers which were too small
- Various Fixes related to custom gamepads and controllers
- Fixed scope enabling on dirrefent stages of cleaning
- Fixed Car coloring camera position
- Fixed Showel Achievements Progress
- Reduced prologue autoclean time
- Fixed mouse and controller sensitivity sliders
- Fixed crates position on old Jeep
- Updated translations
- and other small fixes...
If you don't find any issues with this build we will put it live on the default branch tomorrow.
P.S.1. Remember to backup your save files before switching to public_testing branch.
You can find your save files here: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\PyramidGames\Dinosaur Fossil Hunter (just copy the whole directory into a safe place before switching Steam branches - just in case)
P.S.2. There's also another branch called previous_build which may be useful to streamers who started working on their museums before the game launch.
Kind Regards
Dinosaur Fossil Hunter Team
