PINNED: Known Bug: Voice Chat

There is a bug where if you tab out the game seems to lose permissions to use voice recognition from Windows. I'm not sure how to stop it from happening but if you click back into the game window rather then using alt+tab it will work again.

Hey everyone.

The voice chat is bugged at the moment where you will sometimes be disconnected from the voice server when loading into a level. I will look into a fix for this but it might take some time to fix.

As a temporary solution I am going to look into a way of reconnecting to the game so you can leave and rejoin to reconnect to the voice server.

Suggestion for VR controls

Hey, you can change the VR movement to be based on your head and not the controller in the VR settings menu. You can also change the controller rotations in the VR settings menu.

There is no cloud saves at the moment. Did you reset your pc or doing anything that would have caused the save data to delete itself?

Hey thanks for taking the time to write this.

1 + 2. These are bugs, I'll look into them.

3. You can use Smudge Sticks when the Ghost is near you to stop it from attacking you.

I will look into increasing the range of the area light you have when close to a wall.

Hey, sorry but I am the only developer so I'm not sure who is telling you that. The only reason I ask for specs is so I can narrow down the issue. Sorry that you had to refund, once the current bugs are fixed I will look into optimisations.

Hey thanks, I might make the sprint slightly faster but I don't want it to be too fast otherwise it will take away from the horror.

For that audio bug, there was an update last night that should have fixed that. Have you played since?
