We have been discussing these possibilities, it's something we will consider later when we have the current version of the game running well.

The Game has potential, but requires lot of balancing and AI tweak.

Agreed - we are doing a lot of balance adjustments for each beta weekend. Hope you see some balance improvements for the next beta weekend!

We will be implementing full ultrawide support. For next beta weekend as a minium we have increased max FOV to 140, investigating the additional aspect ratio supports as well.

What resolution are you playing with? If I can get that info, I will check and make sure we have font size options for that resolution. Controller support is planned for the future.

This has been added into the beta in the latest hotfix. Feedback is excellent and we are working hard to review it, and look for what we can add to the game!

Beta Weekend 2 Balance Hotfix v0.5.0.76969

Post
Beta Weekend Two is continuing to prove popular! To keep the momentum of the Beta Weekend going strong we have a bunch more improvements we wanted to add so you can have the best experience possible this weekend.

It is also a good chance for us to show you, through our actions, that we want this project to be about quick and fast iteration. We aim to listen to the community and implement feedback and ideas that we feel fit with the game quickly where possible.

Bodies will now drop items in a bundle This allows you to recover your items when you die, if you reach the bundle before it despawns. This has been a very popular feature request. We were planning on adding it for Beta Weekend 3 (BW3), but we have decided to add it right now for this Beta Weekend. When you respawn, if you return to the place you died there will be a bundle you can pick up with your previous inventory.

Beta Weekend 2 Balance Hotfix v0.5.0.76943

Post
Thank you for your fantastic feedback on Beta Weekend Two so far! We've been watching your streams and reading your chats on Discord and social media with great interest, and the occasional laugh.

This hotfix has some changes that will greatly improve the gameplay balance. We felt these were safe to make, and also important enough for you to play so we can confirm our approach before we refine Beta Weekend 3 content.
Normally, we won't do hotfixes during the weekend to try and keep the experience stable. Additionally, we like to let the team have a well earned rest after a busy few weeks. However, we want to make a few balance changes so we can verify our broader approach to experience and animals - before we start opening up other areas.
Try out the Beta Weekend risk free right now! Want to try these out? Pre-order Icarus to get access to the Beta Weekend right now. You can play the beta as long as you like and refund at an... Read more

Almost finished deploying

If you are NOT experiencing the "037" error, you can download the advance beta build that has the balance changes, by typing "bearsarefriends" to open up "bw2test" in the beta off the app.

Otherwise, the full update that fixes the 037 error will deploy to the main beta branch in ~30mins. It's uploading to steam now.

Perhaps - the error is the default text for an error, so the text is "wrong". It's a timeout caused by the game taking longer than it expected to load in, and timing out with the server trying to send it data to make the prospect. We have a fix, testing it.

We are certainly fixing the "can't make a prospect" 037 error.

Im watching them fix it right now @Moobs. Once the fix is committed, we will test it and then i'll post the results of that here. If we can confirm it works, and doesn't break other stuff, we will push it live.

We are preparing a hotfix with:
* Some fixes for connection issues some are experiencing (those who don't seem to be able to make a new prospect, but can join their friends)
* Lowering the bear spawn rate a bit (a lot of bears were spawning)
* Nerfing infected/festering wounds, as they were extremely punishing for lower level players
* Increasing the ladder "stack" size - how many ladders you can stack on each other
* A lot of other small little balance tweaks.

Will be testing internally, then deploying. Target is within two hours of this post, but subject to change.

Beta Weekends are Kinda Dumb

Comment
    rocket2guns on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
I can certainly understand the frustration.

From a development perspective they have been very useful, because:

1. It reduces the "beta fatigue" of the players, but exposing small parts of the game instead of all of it at once - with each of the parts not having the benefit of time to address any faults.
2. Allow us to focus feedback into specific components in isolation, with time between to address that feedback before getting feedback on the next piece of the game.
3. Let us have focused development time without distractions, we're not "rushing to fix a bug" or trying to help customers out with the game and problems - we observe in the weekend and then have two weeks of focused work.

Thinking of refunding. Anyone else feeling it?

I think that's a little reductive, they gave a detailed overview of some important key points. I think we could differ in interpretation, but I would certainly agree that:

* The character customization is severely lacking
* The Beta map area was very small
* Much of the beta mechanics felt a little... boring?

I suppose though that was somewhat of the intention of the beta, to focus on the ground of the game and build from that.

I just think its vital we don't dismiss concerns raised like this because its "only a beta". We need to acknowledge them, and then hopefully address them in subsequent beta weeken... Read more

That's great - and remember you can refund at any time during the preorder, no matter how long you have played the beta. And once the game releases, your playtime will be zero so you can get two hours of playtime then as well to see if you like it, and it runs well.
