Hey! Totally hear your concerns, can promise they're not being ignored and gutted to hear you feel communication has been lacking! We definitely strive to be as open and collaborative as possible (hence the feature upvote system, which provides us with a ton of our bug fixes) but as you can imagine with a wildly successful Beta Weekends system, we've suddenly got thousands more feedback reports to go through, and it's a lot!

There are definitely tickets such as the 'nodes stuck in walls' one that we are hyper aware of, but working in 2 week sprint cycles for development means we do have to prioritize which tickets we should focus on, so if a bug isn't dramatically impeding gameplay, it will usually get put into a future sprint. The nodes is a great example of this, while there are some issues with their collision, they're still majority mineable, and therefore are a 'nuisance' rather than a 'gamebreaker'.

The Beta Weekends are also all about testing core featur... Read more

GENERAL

Q: When is Icarus’ launch date?

A: Icarus is projected to launch this December.
You can play earlier by taking part in our Beta Weekends beginning from 28 August.
Note: Our launch date will move if we deem it necessary for the game's success. We will have a better idea of our launch date as we listen to your feedback during our series of Beta Weekends! (see more information below)

Q: With the launch date change, will the 10% pre-order discount still be applied in the same way?

A: Yes. Our 10% discount for Pre-orders still applies now and lasts up until one week after Icarus' full launch.

Q: Can I upgrade my Pre-order from the Standard Edition to the Supporters Edition?
A: This will become available shortly. In the meantime our best solution is for you to refund the Standard Edition and purchase the Supporters Edition. We apologize for the inconvenience around this.

Originally posted by :): 1. Optimization (Urgent task)
-Too much frame drop and disconnection make it difficult to play the game.

2. Consideration for solo players.
-It's too hard for a solo player to film all these characteristics.

3. A bug when hunting animals while swimming.
-If you catch a swimming animal with a headshot, the screen is full of water as if I had submerged after the kill cam came out.

4. The unnaturalness of tools.
- Using the C key, it's good to take out the tool in the third person, but when you put it back in, the tool disappears.

5. Oxygen furniture.
- The first oxygen bag to be constructed has the same number of oxygen stones randomly. It doesn't go in at 40, it doesn't go in at 30.

6. Korean version. (Korean)
- Expectations for this game are very high in Korea.
If Koreanization is too hard, ask for help! Many people will help yo...

Here is why I am refunding the game:

Major bugs have not been fixed after 3 beta weekends. Major bugs being - Dropping an oxygen bladder makes it disappear forever, you can't fully mine ore without it being stuck in the ground, deer and other animals spawn inside of your house and often get trapped in the door, wood often drops through the ground and disappears, any fire on any point of the map makes the hills to be alive with the color of fire, animals often spawn but do not react to you and are not able to be interacted with - so basically ghost animals

Major gripes about the game - iron is scaled to be way too important in the game - you need somewhere around 600 iron ore to build one gun from the beginning of the game and that's NOT including making iron tools or stone architecture for base building, a lantern should not take 12 sheets of glass to make, a...

I might be wrong but I believe we put in our price for Icarus in USD and let Valve's pricing tool calculate all other foreign market prices. Their tool is what most developers use and is recommended.

This tool then works horribly wrong.

Hotfix Version: 0.5.0.76930 has been deployed with a CONFIRMED fix to the "039"/"037" error
To ensure you have fix, check the version in top right of menu ends in 76930. If not, try "verify cache".

NOTE: We are changing the option to use DirectX 12 from 'Experimental' to 'Unstable' to better represent it's state. You should only be using this if you are trying to solve a problem that you've hit a dead end on, as a last resort. Please use DirectX 11 otherwise

Hotfix Version: 0.5.0.76910 has been deployed for the Icarus Beta
This contains balance changes - but does NOT yet fix the "037" or "039" errors - we are working on that now and I will update.

If you are receiving an infinite 'preparing geometry' loading screen, this is also tied to errors 037 and 039 which we are working on

Hey all! Please find below a shortened version of our overall patch notes for Beta Weekend #2. This will provide a more detailed breakdown of some of the other changes we've made.

Many bug fixes and optimizations:

• Fixed mineable voxel rocks (metals, oxite etc) respawning when you reload a saved prospect.
  
• Fixed a bug so animals can no longer see through cave walls or structures.
  
• Fixed an issue where characters could become locked out of a prospect due to incorrectly being flagged as having left via dropship.
  
• Fixed an issue where it was impossible to place items or structures on ground previously occupied by broken building pieces.
  
• Animals will no longer attempt to walk through space occupied by player dropships.
  
• Fixed a problem where characters could end up in a ‘bad state’, preventing them from starting new prospects.
  
• Fixed an issue wher...
