Icarus Dev Tracker

I believe this has been fixed now

Most of our team works on performance optimizations, as well as working with Intel and Nvidia directly so their drivers can be approved. Some tasks take longer than others, so some weeks will have more performance optimizations than others.

Note that this weeks update actually includes quite a few optimizations. You can read the specific details of this in the latest steam announcement, which details what is in the weekly update.

This might have been related to a weird bug where Icarus was trying to launch in VR mode, which we fixed in this week's patch. Give it a try again.

You mean with a controller? Its partially supported currently, but not fully, not yet.

Originally posted by Dejaden77: It has happened in both-- the outpost and last night the mission Voyager.. I went in twice and both times the cables were missing portions of it to cause the whole place to be out and the water pump also.. so I had to rewire it both times.. Thank you for your response.. Oh in case you need to know- it was a multiplayer game - myself and my boyfriend.. Thanks again.

We fixed a few issues with resource networks this week (Patch going out in a few hours) let me know if it happens after this and we can do some more investigation.

We have done a pass on this recently, especially with underwater / buildings , if it is still occurring after the patch this week, please make feature upvote with the details and we will see if we can track down the issue.

Was this on a mission or outpost? If it’s an outpost you could send the file to use so we could try and track it down. We have had a few cases of this in the past and found a bug then put in some code to prevent it from happening.

Originally posted by nahash_the_twisted: I had a similar issue. If you scan only once, next to the exotics, the mission doesn´t seem to update properly. You have to scan a minimum of two times. You´ll see that the mission updates when you scan the first time (away from the deposit) and again when you do it near the cave with the exotics.
It´s a rather dull quest, you have to wait a lot for extracting the whole deposit. Watch out cause there are a lot of curious wolves who will trash your extractor (and kill you) if you´re afk.
Hope this helps.

We are going to revamp some of these early missions to bring them sup to par with the more recent ones he have done. I’ll make and note and get some testing done our end and see if... Read more

Originally posted by Crazyhorse: Thx, I must have miss-understood then. I thought it said if you start a 6 day mission on friday and log in on monday you only have 3 more days to complete. I know that was how it was way back. I had my pc burn up on me and I waited till I could afford a new superior rig to purchase....been offline for 5 months.

There is a hard 90 day limit on our backend for now. You can use the ‘Remove from Prospect’ button to retrieve your character and can email [email protected] for any lost items. The 90 day ha... Read more

There are some missions with long timers on Olympus. The timers are in-game time and I believe the explorations missions are 30 days long meaning 720 hours of play time. In saying that we are re-examining the Outpost experience penalty internally at the moment.

I just returned home after 3.5 months away for work and found my character gone :(
I didn't realize there was a 90 limit...

We have partial controller support and plan on revisiting it in the future after we have pushed out the data decentralisation / dedicated servers.

This isn't a keybinding issue, its a bug unfortunately, for clients being unable to rotate with the 'r' key, one we have fixed and will be patched in tomorrow.

I don't believe we have done anything recently to buff polar bears at all, where you seeing the critical icons appear? And which mission where you on? I'll have a chat with QA and see if we can reproduce our side.

We have identified some nasty ones recently and have addressed them in this weeks patch, mainly to do with swapping inventory items, aiming down sight, various UI elements and general stat update triggers. Not to say that we have found them all but we are actively looking to improve this.
