they are already working on the update to fix the lag, the content is more than the demo and I have a laptop 5050 which is compared to a 4060 in power

#

and it's been fine except for some maps that they are already working on to fix

I know you said don't say "your PC sucks" but if you can't get more than 40fps on a 4080 you have a problem. I am running a 4070 super and have no problem playing at medium - high detail at 1080p 70-90 fps consistently. usually 90 fps. SOMETIMES on the slums level I drop down to 50ish fps when a lot is happening.
Now thats not to say the game IS optimizied, it isn't, and hey guess what, its to be expected for an early release. But you in particular definitely have more problems contributing to get that low FPS . Post your system specs and what settings you are running it at

Struggling to consistently keep above 60fps on my 3060 on low settings 😔

I’m averaging 40 fps on slums map with epic aliasing and med settings

With 3060

#

They are making efforts to optimise the game

"Before a beta release"
My guy, early access is well before beta. Usually an alpha build of a game that is more a proof of concept that allows live feedback for the devs, and allows them to get funding to continue working on the game before final release.

That's literally the whole point of early access - keep the dev team funded and give active player feedback on an early build.

The benefit the player gets, past just being able to help and get an early look at the game, is that we keep that access we paid for even as the game continues to progress, even if the price then increases as they get closer to or reach the finished build

Were the demos and play tests not the way for them to get feedback?

# solar lagoon Again, it's the whole point to any "early access" release, and why Steam made it...

i'm not saying early access shouldn't be a thing, i'm saying alphas shouldn't be sold. Early access only means you can access early, be it alpha, beta, just not 1.0

I'm saying alphas shouldn't be sold. If you buy a game and can't play it, it's not really a game. I bought 2/3 of a game, since the slums are simply unplayable, and some mechanics seems to be simply broken right now, and there's content shown to be present at this EA that simply are not.

So again, alphas shouldn't be sold, only beta versions where things run, and there's a functioning game to give feedback to that should be released. like fuck, i can literally see a huge seam that shows under the map in the slums, it's not beta material, especially when the demo ran a gazillion times better and the systems worked better then.

I mean, I guess I see your point. . Sure devs selling alphas and POC software is kind of questionable fund raising tactics. BUT.. everyone is doing that now. Like literally everyone. Triple A gaming studios are almost always doing this as well, AND releasing their games to market in beta quality, letting the world be their play testers.

So are you angry at the world and this annoying new trend that helps keep smaller dev teams alive and kicking? Or are you mad at this particular small dev team for following suit?

did anyone ask the devs about this? bc there is no way they got playtesters that didnt have any issues with preformance lol

manic mulch
#

i think there's only been galaxy that has spoken up about the development process

#

and how the devs don't address internal feedback

frail crypt
#

damn

#

oh well we can now just hope and pray

# cinder parcel I mean, I guess I see your point. . Sure devs selling alphas and POC software is...

I'm mad that they released a game that works worse than the demo, and even though it's early access, the responses about the real performance issues I've seen are insane. As if it's not the game that's the issue, it's everyone's rigs lol.

I think that they should fundraise by making early access, but only release playable content in their EA builds, not things that simply doesn't make sense to add in the state they're in. Like, the slums map shouldn't be in a playable build until it runs 5x better than it does right now.

There are other issues i have that are the type of stuff they can iron out in the early access, like the abyss not having a cap of how many zombies you have to deal with it's just unfun and stupid lol.

But yeah, if they want us to playtest their game, they should at least release stuff that we can test, not maps and mechanics that actually hinder our ability to test the things that actually work.

Contains very limited content? Are we on the same planet

# arctic egret strugglin to get fps on my 3050

if you have a 1920x1080 moniter turn down your resolution to something that still fits its aspect ratio the lighting will still look great but the overall quality will decrease in exchange for like 40 fps

480 x 640

#

i lag a lil bit at that res

#

at 1920 x 1080 I can play only abyss cellar and free mode

# manic mulch not like we're gonna get a reply lol

Every person who criticizes the zombies in The Abyss gets put to an 'ignore' status. The demos appear to be made by experienced game-makers who understand the philosophy of making great games. The current status of the Early Access suggests the ones putting the game together lost the plot when it comes to vertigo.

#

I don't think we'll ever see a full release that is as fun as the demos are, especially if The Abyss stays in its current state.

pearl gorge
#

?

stark mica
pearl gorge
#

what

stark mica
#

One way to get the auto-ignore is to use certain words. With me, I was complaining about how you can't take your own life in The Abyss when you're stuck on the floor for 5-10 minutes sometimes, and I worded it in a certain way that got me a few hours banned.

pearl gorge
#

what

#

i hate the abyss

#

abyss sucks

#

what

#

are you talking about

#

how did you get few horus banned

stark mica
#

I said something like, "If you are stuck on the floor of The Abyss, and you Alt-F4, it kills your character off and you have to start over anyway. Why not just add a, "kill ----self" button instead?

#

Saying those two words together, even in the form of constructive criticism, got me that ban.

pearl gorge
#

dude

#

i think its from

stark mica
#

My friend says adding 7 after 6 next to each other will do it as well.

pearl gorge
#

"kill (your)

self"

#

thats a banned word

stark mica
#

Yes

pearl gorge
#

your not allowed to say that

#

and saying 7 after 6 is because of that stupid meme

#

6

(7)

#

thats why

stark mica
#

It's super banned, but I didn't think it through when I wanted a button that allows you to do such a thing. Yes, 7 and 6 is part of the rot.

pearl gorge
#

theres no actual ignore automatic ban for complaining baout the abyss

pearl gorge
#

?

#

this isnt

#

related

#

to the abyss feedback

#

i dont think the devs would do that

# coarse zodiac it's early access

KSA is early access, and it is completely free (and plans to remain free even after release). Yeah, it is also a game with advanced physics, with scientists involved.
If HS was forced to go to EA before proper testing, than it's sad.
If devs decided to start EA without proper testing, than it's not an excuse, devs could've even find people among community, who would test if for free, and would definitely say the game isn't ready for EA just yet. Being an indie is not an excuse for lack of testing.
I just wish HS won't have the same fate as KSP2, but now there's still enough of work to do to make a gem out of it.

Im more annoyed that they did not add more grips/stances/animations. Whatever its called. We got roundel dagger that sort of has new Dagger stance. Thrust stab etc. But other daggers cant switch between different styles. Only this particular dagger.

Well over time most complaints will be ironed out and I don’t think the zombies are bad at all man, they’re pretty fun so easy to slice to bits and talking abt fully armoured ones is stupid bc u can just break its legs or trip it and take off the armor then ez
