Title: CW4 Demo Feedback
Post by: Alastair_Stokell on June 21, 2020, 08:40:17 AM
Hi Knucklecracker, Karsten

Amazing game! Wow. Been watching all the dev videos for years already. Can't wait for final release so you can take my money!

Played the demo through about 3 times now but have played the last map a lot more times. Biggest and most challenging in the demo but still not very difficult. I look forward to ramped up baddies in the full version.

A very peculiar bug popped up now. I don't even know if it is a bug or maybe a system error with my laptop. You guys should be the judges there...

Playing the last map of the demo, I wanted to build my factory on the same high mesa as my lab but there wasn't space. So, while paused, I ordered the lab to move over a bit and then placed the factory for building. I immediately clicked on it to see the details of the factory. Then I unpaused. The lab started moving and the factory started building. This is where is the bug happened. I could not deselect the factory in any way. Space bar and escape didn't work. Clicking cancel on the factory info pane also didn't work. I tried clicking on another unit. Could not select any other units. Factory info pane stayed on. I could thus not select any other building tabs to build more units. I could only select already existing units with TAB to create more.
I deleted the factory and tried to build it again. It builds and functions normally but I still cannot continue playing the game as I cannot select new units for building as described above.

I think I took some screenshots but I don't know how to upload them here...

I briefly tried to recreate the issue, but ws unable to do so.

Most important in these situations is the log file, that you can find here:

c:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\LocalLow\Knuckle Cracker\Creeper World 4\output_log.txt

You need to preserve it before the game runs again, since all the information in it gets overwritten.

Screenshots are obtained with F11 and are preserved in

c:\Users\YOUR_USER\Documents\My Games\creeperworld4\screenshots\

You can upload thse  (and the log file) by clicking the little down-pointing triangle labeled "Attachements and other options"  just below any text entry box on a forum  entry post.
