However it will be making a reappearance sometime later in November, and during that event – you will be able to tame it. It currently needs some additional balance work before we’re able to make it so. Survivor, benjaminjredmond asks, “Will the DodoRex be tamable in this Fear Evolved event?”Īnswer: During Fear Evolved the DodoRex will not be tamable. It’ll definitely get fixed, but it’s hard to say exactly when due to the nature of the issue.
We intend to poke for NVIDIA (and AMD’s) help with analyzing the source of the driver crash until it’s resolved, or just tackle it en-masse with an automated script until it crashes in a way that we can get a trace on. Survivor, Nui-Chan asks, “Random GPU Driver Crash Fix: Truesky - What’s the current progress on this fix?”Īnswer: It’s a low-level driver issue that we actually don’t have a lot of visibility into, and due to how infrequent it is, it makes getting a reproducible test case quite difficult. Also, they won’t pop up in your face for much longer, instead you’ll get a prompt where you can press a button to optionally open up that Dossier specifically after discovering it. Survivor, AtomicNM asks, “Will other methods of obtaining dossiers be implemented so that they don’t just pop into your face after killing or taming?”Īnswer: There won’t be different method for creature Dossiers, however we will be including different methods for Plant Dossiers! (Yup, there will be dossiers for Plants!). Survivor, PainKiller asks, “When you click on the Leave Tribe Command can you add a confirmation prompt?”Īnswer: That’s a good idea, we’ll do that!
But as we hit the final launch stretch, it’d make sense to upgrade the Mac and Linux renderers and we plan to do so then (which will make them look basically like the PC version).
It’s very tedious to generate builds for different shader platforms, so for now it’s better to keep it to fewer platforms since we tend to release builds so quickly.
Survivor, Cymerio asks, “Will the game use modern OpenGL / Vulkan someday and thus gain features like tessellation, SSAO, etc?”Īnswer: We plan to update to the latest OpenGL version closer to wrapping up development so that we’re not hitting a moving target. The ‘Bonus Round’ will be a 3-hour SotF match hosted next Sunday, November 1, from 2pm EST to 5pm EST, and will be livestreamed by our dearest caster, the most excellent BikeMan!
