I can imagine how things would go if a control ghost mod could be stealthed in on public lobbies and begin spontaneously murdering folks, and having the devs explain that this isn't their doing, it was 3rd party scripts they allowed to go on their game. I just don't see that going well!

Hey, this is pretty much the reason why we are against it as we have no way of filtering mods on the public games

Hey, we are looking into this issue. Do you all happen to have 16GB RAM?

You were banned for being racist and homophobic as well as the hacking so you have no chance of being unbanned.

Unfortunately this isn't really possible with Photon (our servers) without allowing a way for hackers to see the invite code and be able to join private games

Hey, we're looking into allowing you to invite friends through Steam invites for both public and private games but I can't give a date for this yet.

Welcome back ghost hunters, we've got some news for you.

We’ve received your lighting feedback and we have now implemented several new systems to improve on these areas. With the below changes and new settings, this will alleviate many issues.


  • New graphics settings have been added to the Journal (Currently not available for VR and requires a graphics card):
    • Eye Adaption: Simulates your eyes adjusting to light or dark areas over time
    • Screen Space Global Illumination (SSGI): Simulates bounced lighting; making lighting and shadows look less dark. This may affect performance so there are three quality settings.
  • Static lighting has been overhauled in all locations
  • Ambient light has been increased
  • Light from outside sources (moon, stre...

Hey, make sure you enable cross play in your settings. If you turn this off you will only see the rooms with other players that have this turned off.

Hey, you need to lower the graphics. Specifically texture and shadow resolution as you are more than likely running out of ram. We have a lot of improvements to ram usage coming in the update on Monday.

Please make sure to play the new training. A lot of the evidence has changed and is likely why you are getting it wrong.

How would auto-banning be respectful towards the common, non-cheating, user who wants to experiment, in his own game, in single-player, probably in offline mode on Steam ( I do not know if this is possible or not )? He did nothing wrong torwards any players since there were none. And he was having fun, on his own, in his own private session.

Hey, we ban for player reports so you can technically do what you want in singleplayer just as long as you do not affect the game when you join multiplayer such as editing your save file or changing anything gameplay related.

We do however also ban for hacking the games code which you would also get caught by our detection in singleplayer.

As stated in our code of conduct, none of our bans are automated. You can read it here: https://www.kineticgames.co.uk/code-of-conduct

Getting a game ban means you lose access to multiplayer, you only terminate the EULA if you uninstall the game, refund it etc.

Hey, have you made sure that you are using the Oculus OpenXR runtime and not SteamVR?

Comment

Hey, this is a standard clause in every game you play with a EULA.

Baldurs Gate 3's EULA says "Upon termination all licenses granted to you in this License shall immediately terminate and you must immediately and permanently remove the Game from your device and destroy all copies of the Game in your possession."

Dead by daylight EULA says "Upon termination of this Agreement, your right to use the Game shall immediately cease you must immediately uninstall the Game and destroy all copies of the Game in your possession."

I can give more examples but you can look at any game you own and will see the same thing.

Hey, we use dedicated servers for public and private games.

Hey, thank you for the post. We really appreciate the feedback on what can be improved.

We are definitely going to be hiring a bigger team in the near future, we are at the moment nearing completion on a new office that will allow us to expand the team a considerable amount. We are currently in a small office so it is unfortunately impossible for the time being.

We'll be working on the lighting system as a priority this week, we'll have news to share on this soon.

Regarding the smudge bug, there was a change a few days before the update released that caused this so it was not the fault of the testers. We'll be making changes to how we release and test updates in the future to allow for a smoother release.

Hey everyone,

We are aware of a bug that is preventing your connection to the unity cloud servers. We are investigating and will get an update out as soon as we can.

The issue is caused by international sanctions not allowing your connection to the US Unity server. To get around this you must use a VPN.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
