General / Re: Do smart bonus apply to burst fire?

« on: February 11, 2017, 10:15:00 am »

Yes it does, it applies to all special attacks and special attacks are everything that is not default attack.

I don't know if it's intentional or not. But it works like that for some time now, was mentioned a number of times and devs didn't change it so it's likely going to stay.

It is intentional.

Suggestions / Re: "your" Under Rail (spoilers)

I have no desire to take the game in this direction. However, we do want to do more things with the player's house in order to make it feel like the player's personal headquarters.

Suggestions / Re: Harder Difficulty(s) Expansion

« on: February 10, 2017, 09:54:09 am »

We have some ideas how we might increase the hard difficulty, especially when it comes to certain encounters and parts of the game where the healing/health penalty didn't do the trick.

We're also considering adding another difficulty setting for those who want an extreme challenge.

Right now we have other things that take priority but we'll get around to it eventually.

Styg, please, save my F5 key and post a new devlog. It's wearing out from the constant use.

We currently have a couple of very interesting things in the works, but none are yet quite ready to be shown. Soon, though.

Bugs / Re: Zone Transition Fail

« on: January 31, 2017, 11:23:55 am »

Hello everyone.

First of all, i bought Underrail many years ago when it was still on Desura under the name Timelapse Vertigo and unfortunately i just had the chance to actually get into it a few of weeks ago. Just wanted to say that the game is preposterously good, i just can't get enough of it. I hope we get a sequel at some point, i would pay any price for it.

Now to the issue at hand and the reason i highjacked this thread. There is a certain area where i get a "Zone transition failed" error. I have not encountered this error anywhere else  just at this place and i am not sure if it's gonna be important to the story of the game. Any information would be helpful.

The errors i am getting are the following:

Game Version: 1.0.1.10
Error: System.Exception: Failed to load locale 'LUP-A8 - Lower Underrail'. ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.InvalidCastException: Object must implement IConvertible.

This was fixed for the new version. It's not up on the default branch yet (will be soon), but you can access it on experimental (either through Steam or through GOG Galaxy).

Bugs / Re: [Steam Version] Black screen on startup

« on: January 21, 2017, 08:00:37 am »

Not sure if I should create my own thread or post here so I'll start by posting here and see if it gets a response!

I am experiencing this issue (Black screen on startup) and have tried everything.  I actually managed to load the game one time without any issue but have not been able to duplicate the successful launch.  I have deleted the config file to see if that'd fix it and it did not.  I've spent over an hour already just trying to get it fixed and I'm getting extremely frustrated.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What anti-virus are you running?

Bugs / Re: [Steam Version] Black screen on startup / alt-tab problem

« on: January 21, 2017, 07:59:38 am »

Hello,

As I have played for 3+ hours I noticed some problems (probably connected to the lack of original config file):

• I cannot change any settings in the menu - they just reset to original value; my config.dat file is not read-only;
• When I try to change the resolution - game crashes;
• I can't alt-tab - after coming back from desktop I see only the frame of the windowed game; the contents are all in black.

BTW, this game is awesome! I just can't stop playing.

The first point does sound like an anti-virus kind of problem where something is preventing application from writing to the disk, but as the rest don't seem to be related. Does the game generate any crash logs in Documents\My Games\Underrail?

Should I start anew to see all changes?
Like with populated outposts e.g.

It all works with current saves (though some stuff is timer based, so it might not appear immediately).

Hello, i have one question about this new 'psi school' after reading this :

Veteran characters no longer receive base ability or skill points during leveling...

How could i use this new discipline in the expansion whith, let's say a psi bluid, if my character has reached the level cap ? Maybe i am misunderstanding something, but to be usefull, i will need to start a new playthrough ?

Thanks

Yes.

Hello Styg, i have a question about what you have said :

Your accumulated experience won't go to waste.

What will be the experience cap (not the level:) in the expansion. I ask because my character has accumulated a lot experience points (~75 000 XP, see screenshot) and i have the feeling that he will reach the new level cap (of the expansion) as soon as i will launch it. Would you, or could you be more specific on this subject ?

That remains to be seen pending testing, so I can't give you a number right now. What I can say is that amount of XP required for veteran levels is substaintially greater than that for regular levels.

And indeed those are some nice graphics, but I can't help but wonder what the heck motivates you to redo all those assets?

...or perhaps a Veteran feat, if technically possible.

That's not a bad idea. Of course, the feat would give something else as well.
