There is a major performance optimization in the experimental branch this week - read the Week 90 News Post for more details. Many people have been reporting good results from it, and when it is fully tested we'll add it into the base game.

Thanks! We appreciate it ;-)

Good point! We've removed that from the FAQ. Icarus runs fine on Windows 11.

Those FAQ were written for the launch of Icarus back in Dec 2021. At the time Windows 11 had only been out for 2 months and some people had questions about how good it was for gaming or not. It's better now.

We've added Autorun this week!

is where Outpost AND Open World save games are stored. You could just email it to a friend.

I'm locking this thread as the discussion ain't going anywhere,

And to play some more Project Zomboid.

Good to hear you are keen ;-)

As our gamerunner Dean mentioned in the last patch blog, we're making good progress on it (check out the Future Content section at the bottom of our patch notes for all the details and sneak previews), but we haven't announced an arrival time for it yet.

Glad to hear it!

There are more performance updates in development, including one looking at that stutter.

What about dead NPCs?

In the latest news post the devs talk about optimization plans (https://steamcommunity.com/games/1149460/announcements/detail/3391801358772541908). Expect an optimization patch this weekend.

Email [email protected] with details and they may be able to help you out!

Yeah we get how frustrating this must have been. With the upcoming data decentralization changes we talk about in this week's news post there should be fewer issues like this in future, or it will be easier to recover as the key player and load out data will be stored on your PC.

Post this over on https://icarus.featureupvote.com/

Welcome to Icarus.

Also - this will change soon. In the week 49 update we mention that with the upcoming 'data decentralization' change mission rewards will be granted upon the completion of objectives, rather than the completion of the prospect. So no more waiting for all players to leave the mission before you get the reward, or losing it all to a bear on the final stretch.

We haven't announced a date for Open World Mode, but I can confirm that it is not next week's update. Probably a few more weeks away.

However, it will have a choice of dropship landing locations.

Icarus is a terraformed Earth-like planet and the 'First Cohort' of prospectors were purposefully dropped in the most familiar zones to begin with. Check out https://surviveicarus.com/lore/

Have you come across the giant sandworm and scorpion boss yet?

However, the next DLC chapter expands into new biomes and more alien creatures.

This might have been related to a weird bug where Icarus was trying to launch in VR mode, which we fixed in this week's patch. Give it a try again.

Have you tried verifying your files in Steam. Some guides here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/1149460/announcements/detail/3142946404919844728... Read more

Hi Chris! We hear you and are listening. Yes fishing is on our roadmap but I don't have a day and date for it.

In my other reply to you I suggested you upvote fishing over on https://icarus.featureupvote.com/ This wasn't to ignore your question - FeatureUpvote also helps us prioritize what features the player community would like us to work on next. For example, dedicated servers, ridable mounts or vehicles, more building pieces are also popular community requests that we'll probably work on first.
