reset my objects, and days and my playermodel spawned under the map with the ATV, putting me back at the gate. no problem. i reset atv, i fall under map, run from gate to the base.
there are no doors on the base. no keypacks. no servers. no consoles in the back to turn on power turn off power, no lightswitches
So... None of the filter buttons are working. I pressed "Toggle Polarity Filter"... None of the buttons work. I press "Toggle Frequency Filter"... None of the buttons work.
Am I missing something here? The signal is at 100%.
Spoiler Warning I guess, though if you've been reading the comments, you've likely already seen this discussed. ---- So is there any way to actually escape the maze, or do you need to quit/reset your save? I've been running around in it for a while, and I don't really get any sense of progression, save maybe for the maze getting glitchy/hallways leading to voids where parts of the maze have not loaded in correctly.
I'm also not really sure what the point of the maze is aside from wasting the player's time. It's a neat IDEA, that you can be plucked up at any time and dumped into a freaky scenario, but it doesn't really feel as if it's connected to the rest of the game, almost like you've been torn out of VotV and placed into one of those old SCP Unity games where you walk down a flight of stairs or walk through a maze, except there's no monster or threat, just an endless march until you get tired of it and decide to alt + f4 your way out.
Maybe something like this could work if it were given more of a sci-fi theme? For example, being dropped into a maze of sterile white halls (or even something more industrial) with some security cameras that watch you, along with the ambient droning of machinery off somewhere in the distance, while the player is being made to perform certain tasks to escape? And after you escape, you're put back where you were originally, but the time of day has changed, a nice reference to alien abduction stories and claims of missing time.
Also, maybe make it so that this doesn't happen until later in the game/less frequently. I'm on day 1 at the moment (I finally decided to buy the game after watching Joel play, I loved Signal Simulator, so this is right up my alley), and I got sucked into the maze while going to fix my first satellite, which really took me out of the game.
I hope my criticism isn't too harsh, I really do like the game. I just find the maze to be a frustrating and confusing addition.
I get that VotV leans more into the spooky stuff than Signal Simulator and is obviously inspired by other sources of media like the SCP series, but the maze feels too straight-up horror-y... and the fact that there is seemingly no way to leave (at least I've yet to find it) other than to quit the game and reset the save doesn't help.
So I was using the server's ping panel and out of nowhere I was teleported to this maze, I tried to run through it and after half an hour I found a way out of bounds, does anyone have any ideas how to get out of there or just reload the save/reset it?
the game just takes a "high resolution screenshot" by itself every once in a while? it lags the game a bit when it happens but some times it just straight up crashes the game.. i have not been able to fully download a signal yet because it keeps crashing
I cannot access my menu options at all. I can access my menu, but I can't access any options in it. This only happens in-game and not in the main menu. I also cannot access noclip nor the spawn menu.
Ran into an issue while trying to play both newest versions: the number keys aren't recognized by the code locks all over the base, and as such I can't type in 1111 in order to open them. I tried switching my AZERTY keyboard to the QWERTY setting, which did the trick, however I had to switch it back afterwards because the rest of the keys got completely jumbled of course.
I remember a similar issue in earlier builds were I couldn't go up the ladder to the tower right outside the base without switching my forward movement keybind to W instead of Z, however that issue is seemingly fixed in 0.5.0+.
Very cool new quality of life changes though, definitely appreciated!
Out of curiosity (and to solve an argument with a friend), does playing on Sandbox mode not show/do story related events and signals, or is Sandbox just story mode with spawn menu?
SPOILER I don't suppose someone could tell me how to get to the shovel? I see it inside a fenced in area with an odd structure in the center of it. Being vague on purpose.
bro try to throw an ATV over the fence and at the moment when it is behind the fence in the air sit on it make a save because it's not a fact that you will succeed the first time
so my game autosaved after playing "the end is near" disc, and i read after online i was supposed to delete the files. is my save just bricked? i tried to delete all traces and backups after the fact but i still get the game over.
i personally had to delete ALL my saved signals to get out of this one. i'm not sure if that's the official solution but it's the only thing that worked for me
Found a Bug where if you get woken up automatically you can't go into the pause menu anymore(probably because escape still tries to wake you up). I'm not talking about the dreams, I know you can't pause there, I'm talking about when your charakter decides to just wake up. You can just go to bed and wake up manually again to fix it.
Love the game BTW, awesome atmosphere and lore and I love the gameplay loop. Even if it's not meant to be played that way I could just grind it forever haha
How do you get out of the maze?, Once I loaded into the save I was in the maze. Tried running out of food and stamina it just stays 0.0. The game disables the menu when you're in there.
I needed to reset days/events in order to play my save, as each time I tried to open the save I would be in the maze. On the plus side I still have all my points and upgrades.
Hm, okay, thanks. But here's the reason why I asked this: a friend has a problem with the settings. After one game crash yesterday, the game just won't save or apply the settings. Then it was the previous version. Upon restart, they are all set to zero, including the field of view and quality, and therefore the background in the main menu is completely pixelated, and in the game itself the player sees nothing but flickering white and black patches (the camera is zoomed as close as possible in the first room of the tutorial). Before the crash, everything worked good, installing a new version of the game did not help.
Did the locations change for the keys to the green box in 0.5 or are they still the same I'm almost done editing a video to show all there locations and how to find them but I don't want to upload it when its done if they spawn in different locations?
I got the zero g event then it crashed after that I loaded it back up to check the garage and my atv is missing is there a way to spawn a new one looked all over its nowhere to be seen.
Worth noting the drone came at the same time sounded like it was dropping off a box right before the event happened and it froze up and crashed could something have glitched and flung the atv?
OVER 300...welp on one hand free fuel on the other this was right after someone tried to get in and now I'm never leaving the building without my crowbar >.<
someone you also have such a bug, I lost all the saves in the game, but I rummaged through the files, but there are save files and settings, they are all at zero and they do not change, the developer notice and fix it!!!

You can press "." on the number pad to teleport back home
thank you so much

no beds
no boxes

unplayable bricked save
Holy shi
yeah that's usually what happens to old saves when an update comes out
So... None of the filter buttons are working. I pressed "Toggle Polarity Filter"... None of the buttons work. I press "Toggle Frequency Filter"... None of the buttons work.

yeah it was just added and it's really weird
It really confused the hell out of me lol

add glue so you can permanently stick stuff together like romba and thing

Why did i end up here?? this happened twice in a row in 1 livestream
Cool game and no hacks :)
Guys who knows how to fix a low fps?
Anyone know the bunker code?
You didnt map the rain to any sound setting. Constant earrape
bug?
the game just takes a "high resolution screenshot" by itself every once in a while? it lags the game a bit when it happens but some times it just straight up crashes the game.. i have not been able to fully download a signal yet because it keeps crashing
bingus'd
as far as i know it happens everytime the game autosaves, maybe try disabling autosave and save manually, as long as it doesn't keep crashing
makes sense, will try thank you
BUG REPORT
my game is missing audio and muzic in the game and the graphics are messed up and i cant change them and the game is unplayable.
Go to appdata\local\votv\saved\saveGames and delete data.sav
thx
Um, bug?
I cannot access my menu options at all. I can access my menu, but I can't access any options in it. This only happens in-game and not in the main menu. I also cannot access noclip nor the spawn menu.
same. i noticed the hitboxes of the buttons seem super far below where their supposed to be
How do I lower the quality of my screen for better effective gameplay?
Is there any way to drag the bed? Getting close to it randomly makes it jump around, now its leaning against the wall and the game won't let me sleep
Nevermind I was able to fix it by dragging the microwave and pushing it with that

is it intentional that i don't get any drive boxes sent to me anymore? i think i got one on day one and then never again, i'm just ordering them now
My save is bugged, and when I start it appears as if I and my vehicle were in the sky falling, until I am teleported to the map entrance...
Out of curiosity (and to solve an argument with a friend), does playing on Sandbox mode not show/do story related events and signals, or is Sandbox just story mode with spawn menu?
how did you access sandbox mode???
SPOILER
I don't suppose someone could tell me how to get to the shovel? I see it inside a fenced in area with an odd structure in the center of it. Being vague on purpose.
bro try to throw an ATV over the fence and at the moment when it is behind the fence in the air sit on it make a save because it's not a fact that you will succeed the first time
So... I jumped into the tiny pool by the telescope and couldnt get out. Any chance to add a ladder? x)
try jumping and pressing CTRL when in the air
Spoilers! i guess?

How to open sandbox mode?
Pls help

alt f4
I needed to reset days/events in order to play my save, as each time I tried to open the save I would be in the maze. On the plus side I still have all my points and upgrades.
Guys, my roof is leaking! Hot to fix it?
Uh... is there any possible way to put my saved worlds in new version of the game?
Save files are stored in appdata\local which means they will appear in any future update, but i strongly recommend to reset Days and Objects
Hm, okay, thanks. But here's the reason why I asked this: a friend has a problem with the settings. After one game crash yesterday, the game just won't save or apply the settings.

You can try to delete data.sav file
Okay, i'll try. But where is it exactly? (cause i can see only .dll's and .pak's files)
appdata\local\votv\saved\savegamesGame thinks a measly fence will stop me from completing the tutorial?! Think again!
I fell from the tower and clipped out of bounds.
nice one devin chat
Did the locations change for the keys to the green box in 0.5 or are they still the same I'm almost done editing a video to show all there locations and how to find them but I don't want to upload it when its done if they spawn in different locations?
No the locations are the same
hello how to turn cheats on num 0
Its only available if you play Sandbox mode.
And how does one go into sandbox mode? do I have to do a specific action in-game? or do I have to complete the story mode?
It unlocked for me once i passed 24 days in Story Mode.
Yeah, like MetalMnic, I believe you need to finish the story mode first.
Thank you very much for the response! I'm truly grateful!
thanks a lot
I got the zero g event then it crashed after that I loaded it back up to check the garage and my atv is missing is there a way to spawn a new one looked all over its nowhere to be seen.
Worth noting the drone came at the same time sounded like it was dropping off a box right before the event happened and it froze up and crashed could something have glitched and flung the atv?
found it somehow made its way to a bridge
How much gas did it have? ;-)
OVER 300...welp on one hand free fuel on the other this was right after someone tried to get in and now I'm never leaving the building without my crowbar >.<
Yeah , strange texture
and this mine video if anyone is interested
