FAQ

• My performance is bad, what i can do?: 
  • Update drivers (graphics card,motherboard,etc.)
  • Make sure your hardware doesnt overheat. Use MSI afterburner to speed up those fans if needed (or lower voltage curve at your own risk)
  • Make sure you have enough VRAM when you run the game, too little VRAM will make your performance go to hell.
  • Close all necessary applications before starting the game.
  • If you are low on CPU, closing applications specially apps like Control RGB lighting (ICUE for example) can give you extra CPU Cycles and RAM. 

I have tried to optimize the game in all possible manners, but the new HDRP is QUITE DEMANDING. 

To give you an idea, i can play this version on 2k -High at 40-42 FPS with a 3070Ti.

 In a future if i have all necessary resources, I will try some new things like:

1. More graphics options to come (Priority)
2. NavMesh Agents optimizations
3. Split level into several scenes
4. JOBS system, have to  learn it.
5. Perfect culling addon
6. Animation Baking for having hundreds of units in screen at certain gameplay cost.
7. New Unity improvements on the HDRP renderer?

• How can I rebind the keys, I dont like the way it is
  • Have to work on this matter, mainly because I still have to learn how to do it.
• Game is in English/Spanish, will be more languages added?
  • Yes, but they will be probably AI translated, since the only 2 languages i dominate are English and Spanish(native Spain)
• There are grammatical errors, learn to write!:
• Although I can "speak", write and read in English, doesnt mean I am an expert on it. I'm still human in the end and my native language is Spanish, so sorry for the gramatical errors. You can notify me in the comments and explay to me why its bad. I will do my best to correct it.
• I dont like the idea of a 15 minute city,or others things:
  • Neither do I, but that's where the game is set and it adds extra points for raising awareness about a possible near future.
• My GPU is very hot when playing this game, what i can do?
  • Use MSI afterburner to speed up those fans if needed (or lower gpu voltage curve at your own risk)

If you have more questions you can contact me through the comments or in my  Twitter (X).

That's all, i hope you enjoy the game. Have a happy Halloween!
