Voidtrain News

Hello,

We have opened a beta branch with a build that potentially fixes the issue when a player cannot see sessions without Epic Games account linked or cannot open a server/connect to someone after launching the game + fix for the opening the browser tab with Epic Games authorization (this should not happen anymore). We invite everyone who experience such problems to check this beta and share your feedback.

Access code: 2NSk6jx4UUYndAju

How to switch to the beta branch: right-click on the game in the library > select "Properties" > choose the "Betas" tab > enter the code in the field and click "Check code" > after that, testbranch will appear in the list, select this branch > the game will update.

You can switch back by selecting "None" using the same method.

If you still face theses issues in the default Steam version and you have some free time, please try launching the beta branch - If the problem with opening the Epic Games tab persists, please write about it in the comments. If the issue is not relevant, try creating a session or connecting to open ones (there may not be any or there may be few, as this is a beta branch).

Please leave feedback on this iteration of the test in the comments below

Hello,

Thanks everyone for playing Voidtrain!

We received a lot of valuable feedback from you which helps us to prioritize improvements for the upcoming updates.

Even though we haven’t expected this amount of issues, we are determined to keep improving the game. In the end, that's what Early Access is all about. Please note that some fixes and improvements may take a while to implement. As a small team with limited resources, we kindly ask for your understanding and patience in this matter.

We’ve already released 1st hot-fix yesterday – you can learn more about it here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1159690/view/3727335925782314128

And now we have just uploaded Hotfix #2 (updated version of the game - 11684), which addresses the following issues:

• Added an option to disable camera shake and head bobbing. Head bobbing will be disabled by default, but will still be available in options (There are still some slight camera movements remaining in the movement in the builder book and hammer mode. We will fix this in the next hotfix later today).
  
• An option to adjust the Narrator's sound volume has been added to the game's sound settings.
  
• If your quest progress was blocked prior to yesterday's hotfix (during the quests with Rofleemo bed, Hangar, Winch, Throwing Rings), this hotfix allows you to continue your adventure and automatically fixes issues with loading saved games.
  
• Fixed an issue with the Hangar quest that could become blocked under certain conditions (the door closed and didn't let you reach the quest objective).
  
• Additional checks in the quest with inviting Rofleemo on the train to prevent progress blocking. Also, a fix for those players whose saved games have already been affected by this.
  
• Fixed an area in the 1st depot where players could get stuck.
  
• Minor localization fixes.
  

Here’s a list of things we plan to improve in the nearest future:

• Online multiplayer: we are currently trying to find a solution to reduce the impact of high ping and poor internet connection on the inability to connect and open sessions, and we are also investigating why, in some cases, the game does not show sessions or allow opening sessions on the first try. As a temporary solution that helps in some cases, try unbinding and binding your accounts again if they were synchronized in the game settings.
  
• Blocking of the first Outpost quest, where some AI may be missing from the location. This can be temporarily resolved by save/load - after loading, the quest will be completed and continue within 3 seconds.
  
• The possibility of losing amber with Rofleemo on a quest if the client picked up the quest amber and left the session.
  
• The revolver is mistakenly given out before the quest (if the player builds a weapon bench and tries to use the weapon modification function), and has a negative impact on some game functionality.
  
• In rare situations, players may destroy a quest wagon they have built, but not receive the quest resource back.
  
• Clearer indication of the hammer and builder's book hotkeys/icons in the HUD.
  
• After the character's death, notifications about picking up items disappear (temporary solution is save/load or reconnect to the session).
  

We have also decided to bring the demo back and keep it for now so that everyone can try the game for free before purchasing to check the current pace and basic gameplay mechanics.

Thank you again for playing Voidtrain. If you enjoy the game, please consider reviewing it – it’s very important for us.

Hello everyone,

First of all, we would like to thank you all for your support, constructive criticism, and help in such a challenging task as launching a project with a major update on a new platform.

During the process, we encountered numerous issues, and our team is actively working on resolving them.

We have just released a small hotfix (version 11665), which addresses some of the critical problems:

• During cooperative play, clients were losing resources after leaving the session and reconnecting via invites or the friends list.
  
• Some quests were being blocked if the host player was in depot construction mode and the client was performing a certain quest task (quests for obtaining the Winch, Rofleemo Bed, Throwing Rings).
  
• The absence of beards for male characters in the customization menu under certain conditions has been fixed.
  
• In depot locations, special Kill volumes have been added that kill AI even if they are located under the location for some reason.
  

And right now we are already preparing the next hotfixes, but we want to highlight separately what we will do first:

• Online multiplayer (inability to connect and open sessions or see other sessions) - we are trying to find a solution that would reduce the impact of high ping and poor internet connection, and at the same time, we are investigating the reason why in some cases the game does not show sessions or allow opening sessions on the first try. Also, as a temporary solution that helps in some cases - if your accounts were synchronized in the game settings, try unbinding and binding them again.
  
• Head bobbing - unfortunately, we are not able to solve this quickly, but we have started improving character movement animations so that the option to turn head bobbing on and off becomes available, and we will try to deliver this to you as soon as possible.
  
• Blocking of the quest with the location "Hangar" under certain actions.
  
• Blocking of the first quest with the Outpost, in which some AI could be missing from the location (temporarily this can be resolved by save/load - after loading, the quest will be completed and continue within 3 seconds.)
  

and more!
