"Beta" option to revert to the 2021 build (NMRIH2 LEGACY)

[true ice]

This version doesn't exist to the public

[queen karma]

Not public, but private; it will have to be in the deepest part of the code.

I am convinced

[true ice]

The version you are specifically seeking doesn't exist though. Once TB acquired the studio, they redid the whole thing

[queen karma]

And those who were beta testers can't have an original copy?

Did TB really remove everything?

[weary wing]

[low zenith]

Someone does have the UE4 legacy build in their PC somewhere. I wish it was released to the public but yeah for now it’s just gone for the time being. (Either a dev who currently works at TB or an Ex-Dev who may have it to be exact. We may never know)

[languid loom]

i think much of the assets from ue4 are in ue5

but things like kids are hella removed

and maps got torned appart and used their assets for other maps

except broadway and waldoboro (lewiston)

hospital pretty much uses Brooklyn Heights skybox

and powerplant is a modification of NoTLD map

[queen karma]

I have a theory

[languid loom]

from the zombies, every single one got reworked

[queen karma]

Well, considering how much space the game takes up, it's very strange.

I think they accidentally left a build inside the code

Because the game weighs 22 GB and for what it is, it doesn't make sense.

It doesn't have THAT much content

[languid loom]

and guns well
they're porting most of the arsenal with more touches
for example colt1911 back in the old build had the nmrih1 design, and rugermkiv had the ruger hunter model instead of the current tactic one

same with the beretta
beretta didnt had rails, but now it does

[queen karma]

This could be considered a "Dying Light" case, where the developers unintentionally left an entire old build within the game's code.

[languid loom]

believe me
there's A LOT of shit from ue4 there thats unused or just waiting for getting used

[queen karma]

If we put everything together, can we achieve something?

[languid loom]

theres two handed animations for the handguns for example which you can't do that since your character holds the flashlight 24/7

[languid loom]

brother tbs will kill you on sight

[queen karma]

You're right

[languid loom]

nah but yeah you have access to game files

dont modify anything JUST IN CASE

but you can take a look

theres unused voicelines for children zeds for example

and responders pinging them yknow
"THERE'S A KID"
"A BRAT"

[queen karma]

I'll take a look, but I'm not promising anything; besides, I don't want to get into trouble with TB.

I wouldn't like to see a complaint letter on my door

[split crest]

22gb is small for what this game currently has, between all the textures, models and audio. (There's a ridiculous amount of audio alone even while compressed)
This game is the progression of the UE4 build minus the extreme jank and placeholder models, they're slowly filtering back in some of the legacy features but we don't know how it all worked outside of the vertical slices we were shown, it's probably why they're disabled and have to be reworked.

In general though responding to the start of this, the NMRIH vets aren't a niche to get rich off of and they've already written off anything this game will do in the future so releasing this old janky build isn't going to turn around any opinions.

Techland has been clumsy with their code. Ngl it’s pretty funny lol

[vast kayak]

This boat sailed a long time ago my silly cow

[simple comet]

I have no idea what you're talking about. 22 gigs for this game is extremely reasonable.

[haughty pollen]

check Marvel Rivals size XD

[simple comet]

Or Helldivers 2 file size
