Let's not be impolite, please! Everyone is free to express their opinion on these forums, and it's even true that difficulty increased with the latest update, for the reasons Fields just listed quite accurately – so the good news is that the steep difficulty increase will (partially) even itself out eventually as custom sub building is adjusted to the new values.

We generally try to avoid changes that adversely affect lots of the player-made content out there, but at times we have to make them all the same to address issues or earlier oversights. We're also working on getting big changes like this out of the way while we... Read more

You first need to create a new sound config file (similar to Content/Sounds/sounds.xml), and add that custom impact sound to it as follows:

Then change the impact sound tag of the item (located in the item's xml element) to

impactsoundtag="impact_custom"

Sorry to hear about the trouble you're having with the game. :/

We have gotten some reports about decreased performance after the latest update (even though, many players are weirdly reporting drastically improved performance), so it's most likely not an issue with your system. Unfortunately we haven't managed to pinpoint what's causing the performance problems yet.

Something that could give us more clues is if you enabled the in-game performance statistics and took a screenshot of what you see when the FPS drops. You can enable it by opening the debug console by pressing F3, and entering the command "showperf" in the console.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, I hope we can get this fixed asap!

Hi everyone and sorry for the inconvenience! I've merged a few of the newer threads on low performance since the latest update to respond to everyone in one place.

Since we have seen a number of reports like this in recent days, there indeed appears to be a performance issue somewhere that we've unfortunately not managed to diagnose yet. If you would like to help us, sending us diagnostic data as screenshots could be useful – please read more in this quote from my colleague:

You can also just modify the game code to unlock every achievement when the game starts or use Steam Achievement Manager. :^)

There's obviously tons of ways to build completely overpowered submarines in the sub editor, but personally I don't see the need to prevent that. If that's how you enjoy playing the game, go ahead!

We have been getting several reports about this issue, but unfortunately we haven't been able to find a way to reproduce it yet. :/ We've tested this in single player and multiplayer, with different numbers of players and different networking conditions, but no luck so far.

If anyone has any clues on what specific situations cause this to occur (multiplayer only, bad networking conditions, some specific content in the store interface...?), it'd help us a lot in diagnosing this.

Back to waiting for them to say they fixed the issue a third time .....

The issue that was fixed in this update had to do with the entire character getting discarded (wiping all talents, skills and items) in a situation where you hadn't even died.

Losing skills when you die intentional is not a bug though. It's intentional that when you die, you lose your accumulated skill levels (although this can be remedied to some extent with certain talents).

It is intentional that skills reset once your character dies, even if you respawn with Reaper's tax. This was changed with the Among the Ancients update, the change was prompted because of the new talent system allows gaining skills too fast, that it was seen as necessary to just reset the skills rather than just lower them on death.

Hi! Sorry for the inconvenience, there was an issue in yesterday's update that affected loading times for Asian languages. We've released a fix for that just now, so you should be able to load the game normally again. Read more about the fix here (only in English, unfortunately): ... Read more

Hi everyone!

We've just released three fixes for issues in yesterday's update:

- Fixed excessive loading times when playing in Chinese, Japanese or Korean.
- Fixed certain logic components (and/or/xor with an empty output and non-empty false output) stopping to work altogether when they stop sending a signal.
- Fixes to crashes when trying to interact with certain elements in the server lobby while getting disconnected.

We hope these smooth out any problems you've been having and wish you a nice weekend!
