Xen Technical Beta Bugs
Thread for bugs found in the technical beta ONLY. We are mostly interested in Xen, but if you find bugs in earthbound, we will fix those as well.

Please post:
-A detailed description of your issue
-Your system specs
-A screen shot

We may ask you your specific graphics settings as well. Thank you for your help polishing the game!

Lots of issues have been fixed on the dev side, and we have tweaked the three Xen levels design based on the feedback.

Most of the Earth Bound issues were fixed or just a result of old maps (we did not rebuild them for the Xen beta). This includes the ai_disabled bugs, missing sounds, and things like the Reside Processing pistons getting out of timing.

If you are having issues launching the game, I recommend our Discord, so that we can talk to you in real time, OR make a new thread here with your specific issue and your system specifications.

We can't promise the fastest responses as we are deep in development, but we would love to help resolve launch issues, as it is usually just a matter of doing a certain number of steps in order.

Thanks all!

I know this is for xen, but I'll mention it anyways. If you still have satchel charges, and you have full health (and armor), you can attempt a c4 jump (when you detonate it while in the air, the momentum flies you all over the place like rocket jumping) and sometimes fly out of the map and onto something that's not reachable. I've done it many times now, and I can find unpatched spots or certain areas not seen by the player themselves.
Testing under Ubuntu (v19.04 Disco Dingo) Linux:

Using:
sudo apt-get install zram-config

Followed by a restart to enable ZRAM.

Absolutely flies now with only 4GB of RAM!!! :steamhappy:

Wait... Blowing yourself up to get catapulted out of the map and then seeing weird stuff is considered a bug? :awkward:

I feel a little low performance on my computer, beginning the game, a have low fps, like 59~75fps, before, i played this game with 144fps because i use vsync, my gpu is gtx1660ti and believe is still beta so it is "normal" for while. I use a G4560 with a gtx 1660 ti, i know, its a big bottleneck, but works well. Sorry for my bad english

I have discovered a few small things, but on the whole, everything seems to be working fine.

1: There was a tiny bit of stuttering when I walked out of the starting cave, but it was hardly noticeable and stopped a few moments after.
2: At one point, there were 2 Ichthyosaurs that were stuck in place when I found them. They freed themselves when I shot at them.
3: Inside a small cave, there was a rock that I fell down onto. The Rock seemingly had no collision box. This happened shortly after I found the 2 Ichthyosaurs.

Apart from that, the experience is Great, The Scenery is Beautiful, and I look forward to seeing more of Xen as it is released. It really was worth the wait.

Bad or missing material on this prop.

When running into a map transition or through saving/loading, I'm running slower than normal but faster than walking. I have to press WALK/RUN as workaround to fix this. I have "Always run" enabled.

I would suggest adding some clipping here, there could be stuck situations

If I get too deep underwater here, a game over is triggered. Is this intended or a trigger is too big?

In this scenario, the game consider I'm underwater, but I'm not seeing my oxygen neither hearing the sound being deafen. in other words: gameplay wise, I'm underwater. Visual/audio wise: I'm not.

Missing faces.

The following screenshots are places where it misses some clip (either where I am or where I'm aiming at):

When you kill the kamekaze Houndeyes all at once, the explosion sound is very loud and bassy.
Thats the only bug i found.

There is a spot where the secret hat just clipped through and disappeared, I placed it on the floor and it rolled through the wall. After changing cables so that the corridor door opens, after the part where you insert a cristal in the power source alien thing. I am running on windows 8.1. MSI gtx 1050ti, 16gb ddr3.

Where the crosshair is placed exactly.
