Icarus Dev Tracker

What you just experienced was weekend #1 of 6 Beta Weekends, each with new content as we slowly test out key features and make improvements! To give context, you've seen about 5% of the game so far!

Build an oxidizer! FREE OXYGEN

New features are being added between weekends and the game is being improved from player feedback!

Originally posted by McGeorgeOfTheJungle: Gonna be honest with you Lori (Dev) for me the £50 price increase from Standard to Deluxe for a few biomes and a couple of DLC and some cosmetics... is quite pricey especially as a pre-order.

May just stick to the standard version for now until the price comes down for the deluxe, cause at £70+ it is a big ask to be bluntly honest in beta stage.

I hear you. We have been having conversations on how to add more value to the deluxe edition for everyone, and perhaps renaming it. This information is due shortly. I hope I can update you all soon!

However, if you stick around for our next beta weekend - storms will be at full functionality and will add a different dynamic to your current playstyle. You will need to stay on your toes and think ahead.

In future weekends, you will get to experience new biomes, and faction mis...

Originally posted by Aldo: Pay more for less features... makes total sense!!!

The content roll out across these beta weekends allows us to narrow down possible variables to issues and bugs players may face each time. Other than that, it's very exciting that each beta weekend holds a new narrative. I am looking forward to players experiencing storms next week!

Thought your house was cute? Let's see it fare during a storm >:)

Originally posted by TheOrigin: .. because that game is beautiful. I love the PVE aspect (as much as i hate the kill on sight mentality in dayz). So i refunded my standard version to buy the deluxe version instead and support the future development.

Already had alot of fun and value for the 20 bucks i paid initially. Cant wait to see more content because right now i cant progress further then late tier2 stuff. (tier 3 is locked).

And now lets adore the beauty of the game a little:

Hi there!

You will need a solid foundation first. Try placing beams and then place the floor on top. Icarus has structural integrity and so uneven flooring could result in it breaking.

The second part to this is ensuring you are placing your crafting bench and other tables/benches on a good foundation, inside a house with walls and a roof.

Next beta weekend, storms will be at full functionality, and large benches, tables, furnaces etc need to be placed under cover where they are the most safe, as storms can break/ruin them completely.

1. Build a strong foundation.
2. Build a complete house with walls and roof.
3. Place items inside your safe house.
4. During ... Read more

TIPS

• For NVIDIA GPU owners, you must ensure you're running the latest drivers (dated 10th August or later). Also, enabling DLSS will greatly improve your performance.
  
  
• On some systems the frame limiter will default to a limit of 24fps. Most players will want to set this to a higher value.
  
  
• If you encounter any problems, returning to character select or quitting the game and restarting can help with a wide range of issues during Beta.
  
  
• Various issues in multiplayer can be avoided by waiting for your host to fully load into their drop before joining it.
  
  
• If your frame rate starts to drop as host after an hour or two on a drop, just get the host to return to character select and restart.

BUGS

• Crash affecting some AMD graphics cards
  Fix: Rollback drivers to version 21.6.1 which released on 17/6/2021...
