itch.io

fun fact: said "red asteroid" is actually a line image of the underside of a skull!

so... found the solution... turns out there was a windows update that my system didnt inform me of. can play the game again thankfully.. but now that i wiped my save im starting from scratch. thanks windows update system...

(copied from community post i just made)

Okay, this is weird.

Today I booted up the game, and now i cant play it once a play session is loaded. the screen freezes when i load a session. when i tab away from the game it appears to be running fine, but the second i click back on to the game, the view freezes again.

I tried deleting my save file, and i tried a fresh install. no luck. My graphics driver is up to date, i saved properly before exiting. Whats going on here?

Is anyone else running into this issue? Please tell me I'm not the only one!

yes but also no. You're asking the target audience to have self control, and especially me, the guy who hooked Dr kel up with a space elf-cat girlfriend and gets a sudden urge to shove every mannequin into the woodchipper in a fit of psychotic giggles, and a postal 2 enjoyer... To have self control

I don't think you read this so let me reiterate:

some added protection might be preferable if you want to keep physics damage on

If i may make a suggestion,  can we get a helmet added to the game to  reduce the damage of getting launched into a tree from your atv? with how jank the physics can be, some added protection might be preferable if you want to keep physics damage on.

fair enough

quick question: is it a "bad sun" day? cuz thats an entire day-long event that prevents sleep

while yes its inconvenient, that "disabling pause menu" thing is there to prevent save/quit-scumming, which is a consistent issue among games that have quick save, and especially  horror games. wheres the tension if you can just quit out?

does it make bugs like this more prominent issues? yes. does it mean this is a bad feature? hell no! i love the idea that, at a moments notice, i have to see an event or entity encounter through or die trying. maybe disabling autosave during an event could circumvent this issue, much like how its disabled if youre on the atv?
