Build 26348294

Ave Aspirants!

I've put a small update live that allows you to launch the game with Vulkan instead of DX11/12. If your game already works fine, you can completely ignore this.

Tech issues? Try Vulkan

A few people are getting rare crashes that seem to be graphics driver/card/API related (so they're very hard for us to test & fix)

As a potential fix we're adding the Vulkan API. Note this is an experiment and not full support.

If you are one of the people who experienced these crashes, please choose the "Vulkan" option when you launch the game or put -vulkan in the launch options under the game's properties.

Please report back!

Does this fix / not fix your crashes? Let us know.

We are looking for someone or a few people who experience these crash(es) to communicate back to us so we can iterate and fix these for good. We also can have you test the current build of the 1.0 (!) to see if the crash(es) persist. Interested? Comment here so I can private message you, or join the Discord and message me there. This would help us a lot. <3

Just for good measure, here are the common steps you can try when you experience issues/crashes to fully clear your game & saves:

1. Disable "cloud saves" on steam (right click the game>Properties>General tick Steam Cloud off)

2. Uninstall the game

3. You can also fully clear the install folder after uninstalling - if anything is left. That would be in ..\\Steam\\Steamapps\\Common\\We who are about to Die

4. Navigate to C:\\Users\\<USERNAME>\\AppData\\Local\\WWAATD\[/p]

5. NOTE: replace <USERNAME> with your own appropriate folder name

6. Delete everything in there. This will clear your saves. You can make a backup of the files first if you want to keep them and try to reinstate them later.

7. Reinstall the game

PS. if you've read this far (<3), we will be dropping a small update and 1.0 news at the anniversary in a few weeks. Don't tell anyone!

We who are about to die salute you,
Jordy Lakiere
