Thanks for the update Hinterland!

Unfortunately I still crash 100% of the time in Milton after enter/exit a house 6 times with vsync off and 3 times with vsync on.

Hope you can find the reason and fix it soon.

I will start a new game in Milton and retest it. Also will test PV where it also happens.

Since GOG still hasn't released the 1.4.5 patch, I wouldn't look for the 1.4.6 patch until the end of the month or even after the first of Feb.

GOG averages about 10 days behind. The 1.4.1 update took about 16 days, but there was the holiday in that mix. 1.3.5 took 9 days and 1.3.7 took 11 days.

So far, as of today, it's only been about 8 days since the release of 1.4.5.

Filing an issue with them probably isn't going to make any difference. I don't believe they really care that much.

Honestly... I don't care if this makes any difference or not. This is IMHO a really crappy release strategy by GoG and if I can even make the slightest kind of pressure to get TLD updates released any faster on GoG, that's worth my time and effort.

I feel really bad because in the past I always blamed Hinterland for these ridiculous long release delays on GoG. But now that I know better I gonna pester GoG until this finally gets better.

I like the idea of you pestering GOG, even though I doubt it will make a difference. Especially considering they no longer make any money from TLD sales.

You go for it though. I'd like to see some changes made at GOG.

If they reply at all, my guess is they'll try to blame Hinterland.

That's why I asked here if Hinterland already uploaded the v1.46 release. I'd like to have that confirmed before I start pestering GoG again. So they cannot really claim they didn't receive the update.

Did you already send this to GoG? They are (surprise) still at v1.44 and once you've confirmed you pushed v1.46 to GoG I can (again) file an issue there.

 

We submitted the build to GoG late last night.

Yeah my sound cuts in and out a bit when inside

It seems to happen when the background noise to too "busy". Like, just wind is fine, and Just waterfall is fine, but waterfall and blizzard makes my sound "stutter". Like ti can't process all the information. It's like the auditory equivalent of frame rate dropping.

Nice! Any idea when you folks'll get to update the version of Unity used to build to the one that has the fix for the linux graphics corruption problem? Or does this one have that? It was apparently fixed in Unity v 2018.3. https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/linux-nvidia-graphical-corruption-in-many-games-possible-regression

Quote

Note: This fix is being backported to 2018.3, likely to land in 2018.3.4f1

As I understand it, Unity still has to backport it (current stable release is 2018.3.2). Hinterland is currently using 2018.2.14f1.
So, wait for Unity, then wait for Hinterland to update the engine in its build (I guess that's a big step). Then wait again for them to fix all the bugs that are currently braking the gameplay (on linux, at least).

I'll come back in 3 months...
