Update on 2025/08/11 - Turning Point?
I have gotten a new laptop, containing a GPU of 5060. To test the laptop, I tried various of application of it, and suddenly, I was thinking: This game crashes anyways, let see how it fails on my new laptop, spectacularly. After I have downloaded the game and run it with the mission I crashed on, it... Worked. No more fatal engine error and I did able to play with the game. Seems like the latest unreal engine update causes something not working in ARC graphics while working fine in Nvidia.
Seeing the Devlog finally coming back at the same time, perhaps, let me give it a chance; however, more observation is needed before flipping my rating.
Update on 2025/01/31:
Like I have mentioned previously, let see if learning blender or waiting for the bug fix to the critical game crashing bug being faster.
After two months, it turns out I have already build a whole mech in blender, applied textures and color, currently adding armatures to my model so that I can pose it, yet there is no update to the bug, not even a single news to the game since the last review when they were suppose updated weekly.
I used to loved this game so much, as you can judge my 100+ hours of gameplay even though I don't have much time to play games due to my study and my work; however, I am finally declare a Game Over to the game because of the PR disaster.
Update on 2024/12/03:
Welp, Still Crash with the "Fatal Error" pop up after I have updated on 0.12.0. My current setup is ARC based Asus Zenbook, but I don't think that is the problem because all missions before 0.11.0 work perfectly fine.
Still don't recommended to buy the game if the bug still persists and remains unfixed.
Let's see which one will be faster:
The bug fix for this problem vs My learning progress to learn blender.
Blender is a extremely hard program to learn, and it takes a lot of time. If I can manage to learn how to build my own model and learn how to make pose or even animation before this bug have been fixed, this will be a game over for this game, suggesting that would be taken way too long for this critical bug.
Update on 2024/08/16:
With reinstalling the game, seems the earlier missions are working now, except for the newest one.
However, with the degraded performance and the unstable status, the rating still stays until I can see improvement in the future.
Update on 2024/07/28:
Nope, Still doesn't work; I guess it is time to pull out Blender to model my mech instead. The learning curve will be tough, but at least my idea will be safe.
Update on 2024/07/24:
Nope, received another update, still crashing with Fetal Error on launching any missions.
Updated on 2024/07/18:
I have received the update, but it is still crashing on mission launch; meanwhile, it is definitely not related to my hardware because I play the game in the previous update (0.10.0) without any issues.
I like the game, and this is the reason why I am still spending efforts on making update on my review, and hopefully seeing a patch that does the fix or any work around about this critical issue. I wish I could set the rating to recommended again.
Updated...
Sorry, I tried to give some hope to the game, but at the end I guess I have to give up.
Game play was meh, but it was okay because it was a great stress relief;
The grinding was heavy, but it was okay because I don't mind to do that for the armour parts.
This was the game can bring my idea comes in mind visually, which was awesome.
However...
The latest update has a critical game crashing bug, and I can't play any missions, and I can definitely see the performance of the game drop significantly, judging by the photograph feature because it take much longer time to load the Mech.
I wish to recommended for people how like to build their own mechs, but sadly, I don't think the current state is ready.
Show us some hope, at least we can play the game again.
