When you push the wrong button
Here we are! Nearly 24 hours since launch and it's been a busy time! There was a number of little hiccups along the way, but none quite as big as :
[h3]Releasing the game into "Full Release" instead of "Early Access". [/h3]
I'm not even sure what went wrong there. All I can do is apologize to anyone who thought the game was a "Full Release", I'm so sorry - it wasn't intentional. Thankfully Steam had it fixed within an hour or so, so things are back on track.
I wanted to quickly update everyone here on a few things:
Discord Link! Click me
This is probably the best way to log bugs and reach out at all. There's a collection of over 1200 like minded Vault delvers around, sharing decks and talking strategy. There's also a bug reporting bot, and also an opportunity to log feedback.
Bugs!
This brings me to my next point - game crashing bugs! The big one that's out there right now may have an error message like this:
This is a hardware/performance issue, and a strange one. To recap the tale, we had a Beta tester who has been playing the game for around 12 months, close to 350hrs logged on one machine. As of yesterday, he started getting this error as well.
It’s usually on laptops or slightly older machines. The fact that it has only just happened makes me think it's solvable. However reverting back to older versions doesn’t seem to be fixing the problem for these people. I’m going to keep debugging this one and try to find a solution.
Roadmap
This is a big one and I need to spend some time putting it together. I’ll need the next week to just handle the small bugs showing up, but I’ve got some great stuff planned heading into December. Once I get a handle on all the bugs/minor issues, I’ll lay that out in a more public sense.
Thank you again to everyone who picked up the game, and especially to those who left positive reviews. I’m so glad to finally get to share Vault with the world, and I hope you all enjoy playing it as much as I did making it!
