Hello Investigators!

We're sorry that so many of you are still experiencing crashes! Currently, we have been reported 3 different types of crashes:

• GPU crashes (include a message about D3D12 / DX12), for this one try out the other launch options (DX11 and Vulkan)
  
• FATAL ERROR (voice chat is causing this)
  
• Level loading crashes (short error message, but these only happen if you quit the game)
  

We would like to invite you to try out the public beta branch if you encounter any of these crashes! We're updating the beta branch multiple times daily and would love to know if the fixes work out for you!

After some testing, we will upload the public beta to the main branch (will take 1-2 days probably).

If crashes especially due to Voice chat keep happening we will take it out very soon until it is stable! We're also constantly working on optimizations to reduce the GPU crashes!

Have a spooky day! :)

Hello Investigators!

We're pretty new to all of this, but we still wanted to do something small for Halloween!

We would like to welcome you to the Pumpkin Hunt!

What to do in the update:

• Find the happy looking pumpkin in the cabin at the spawn point and interact with it
  
• Find all other happy looking pumpkins in the FOREST
• Get your EMF and EMF Type Reader (Spirit Box looking gadget)
  
• Watch out for signals & the type "Paranormal Pumpkin"

PRO TIP: The pumpkins are distributed around the forest, but are all easily reachable, you don't have to check all the boundaries of the map!

After completing the hunt:

• You get a seasonal achievement
• Restart the session and check the cabin at the start for a small reward
• Everytime YOU host a game the reward will always be there from now on! :)
  

The update will be online until 07.11.2023 7pm CEST.

Let the hunt begin and Happy Halloween!

Voice chat has been causing people to crash with a FATAL ERROR message. This issue should be fixed now!
