BEWARE v011 dowload link

could you mind fixing the download link? im really intrigued by the idea/version of this game with no enemies and its def something else, so having the only verson of the game that does this (to my knowledge) not available for download is unfortunate imo

RedScorp99

I just paid 5 bucks for a broken download link like a facking bozo XD

Zane Carlson

cant download it

freedmaaan

download link is down

lvshtvlipp

Thanks for reminding me, I just did :)

Ondrej Svadlena

Thanks, I will! Oh, and please update the pinned welcome post, it says we should play the v011 version!

Alberto Dietrich

You should download v012VR, it's the same as v011VR but with some fixes.

Ondrej Svadlena

Man can you help me? I was downloading this version, but the VR link is down, can you fix it?

Alberto Dietrich

i dont know if its possibe but could you make a version for chrome os

jackson

dude this is awesome!! just found this... WOW using a full racing sim VR system with the Force feedback/ and seat moving stuff! this would be insane! im building a driving sim.. im not getting a VR head set but im getting gaming AR glasses (better for me) and i cant wait to try all of this in (BEWARE!) WOW

Adam Lovelace

Pressing "R" should re-position the camera :)

Ondrej Svadlena

Ok, so the problem with the vr is, I'm not in the car, like a third person view, i am above the car

Dj Filthy Fox

I felt more like my beginnings in Collin McRay rally games, the first time i used a wheel, and i think i probably gonna be more plaisant with one.

Dj Filthy Fox

hey everyone, i've just discovered your game with the youtube IGP channel, he loooooves your game, i just bought a VIVE pro 2, and i was thinking : " that's the kind of experience i would like to try in vr..." and what ???? THERE IS A VR VERSION ??? yea count me in ! really original, i've already spend 1h30 to get lost in the normal verion, will try the vr tomorrow, it remains me the moutaine and campaign roads around my place. i hope you will have the money to hire the people you need to continu this really good experience, it's like a FROMSOFTWARE game in a way, you have rewards of weird events for your exploration. Nice job !

Dj Filthy Fox

Cancelling my subscription. I might check back in the future but for the moment the car physics in the latest version (11) aren't enjoyable at all. It feels like a boating simulator.

John Romaine

Its not the sound dude, its everything else. Again I think you need to go back, because this version feels flat and two dimensional.

John Romaine

I think I probably know the reason for that - try turning off the sound completely when comparing new car physics with the old one. Technically, the new car physics properly simulate wet surfaces where the old car physics would simulate dry conditions. So now it's sliding more, but still the steering allows for more control. The car bouncing has been reduced by popular demand, but that could be a potential option in the settings. Most importantly though, the sounds are generated by the new car physics plugin - that was to test if better performance can be achieved. So v011 does not use my own audio programming work, and this makes a big difference in the feel of the driving. Eventually I'll be re-using my own work dealing with audio. Lastly, engine sound is much more muffled in v011 as compared to previous versions - that also makes a big difference in the feel.

Ondrej Svadlena

John Romaine

No worries Zak, thank you for your support :)

Ondrej Svadlena

Thank you for that. And yes, new code, among other things :)

Ondrej Svadlena

I'm afraid I don't and cannot test because I only have a T300. G29 should definitely work though.

Ondrej Svadlena

Unfortunately no. Versions prior to v011 used a different car physics version that does not support steering wheels.

Ondrej Svadlena

Hi, tested v011VR with G27 worked great, i want to use the wheel on v006 VR version and when i load in my pedals are combined and inverted or something anyone know how to fix?

john

Hello! I tried this recently in vr with my logitech G29 wheel and pedals, and the game said it didn't recognize a wheel in that slot, and defaulted to the keyboard. Any idea what I can do about that?

Quadraxis

I had the same idea, few times, but I really want the project to go live someday. Ondrej was allways like this, not too much updates between the patches, only few days before and after the patch and I think the next one is comming soon and will be the best one so far :)

M Von Drak

Don't worry, Ondrej. You can still count on my support! I'm sure you're just refactoring code (always a task that takes longer than one thinks it will). I hope everything is still good with you and best wishes!

myth0genesis

Sorry Ondrej I'm going to have to unsub. It's been 2 months since any communication. I wish you the best and I will have to check back another time.

Zak

Yo Ondrej! Can you give us a hint if theres any new npcs/enemies coming, if so, Please give us a hint.

conlca

Had a Steven King feel to them for sure.

Matt K

I hope that the graphics of the goons remain at least as disgusting and scary, and that something remains of their strange body structure and movement when they get out of the car. :D Without a doubt, they are the most iconic characters for me, their looks and behavior did a lot to make me like the game in the long run.

Pixintendo

Thanks :) Been a long learning process! Still is

Ondrej Svadlena

I'm currently rewriting the driving AI code to work with the new car physics - so far so good. Also couldn't resist to make it better :) In parallel, I'm creating the final 3D model of the 1st enemy car, which was a placeholder until now. Realistically, v012 will be out in July.

Ondrej Svadlena

Hope all is well Ondrej! was wondering if there is any news for the next update?

Skera

Hey there! Just joined, though I've been a fan of your work for a while. I program shaders as a hobby, and I'm just blown away by what you can do. Keep up the good work!

myth0genesis

OK, thanks for the feedback! There will be a fixed version available for download in about 2 hours :)

Ondrej Svadlena

Camera keeps rotating to the back when I am pressing the accelerator. Using G29

Lemon Banana

Should add ability to switch accelerate/brake to left/right trigger with xbox controller instead of joystick or changable controls (suggestion)

Brayden

Ohhhh Okay. That makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

Blake Babson

No worries. Each update is a separate game, and has specific gameplay, like activating switches, finding passengers and car chases. There's more info in each of the posts. v011/v011VR is the newest update with all the maps connected, new car physics and VR, steering wheel & controller support. There are no enemies there, yet. That's coming up in the next update.

Ondrej Svadlena

I've been pretending to be a scout in this post apocalyptic world, trying to find a way from one point to another, plotting routes, looking for resources for my home base / family.

Matt K

Thank you. But I think that's where I'm confused. Do I download 006 and then download each of the others and patch them into 006 or is each update a separate game? Someone on YouTube mentioned all the maps being together in one? Idk lol. I'm easily confused these days.

Blake Babson

I'd recommend to first check out the "welcome read-me" post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/53563449 That should set you up with info :) And in the meantime you can download v006

Ondrej Svadlena

Okay. I figured that out lol. But, where are the enemies. What do I do? I'm not sure where to go.

Blake Babson

How do you toggle ANY of the pause menu settings?? I've tried clicking. I've tried pressing Enter. Nothing.

Blake Babson

Although story-driven safe-spots/checkpoints are planned for later, I could add some rudimentary checkpoints to this version - give a couple days :) As for "exploration mode" - definitely possible although I'd like to figure out some way to integrate it so it makes sense in the game's and ideally story's concept.

Ondrej Svadlena

If ever you can setup a checkpoint system, would be great, cause I would like to explore some more, but can't always give 2 hours at a time. Also, the no-enemy version is really nice in itself. Changes the game from a tense and terrifying game, to a very chill pensive game. Whatever your final state of the game is intended to be, having an enemy-free "exploration mode" would be great !

Matt K

For now it should re-center the camera's rotation only - the position (distance from windshield) will stay the same, unless you look downward before it re-centers. There's certainly room for improvement though. Maybe this lean-forward functionality could be limited for when we're stationary/low speed. As for the robotic re-center feel: ;)

Ondrej Svadlena

I like the new mouse view, though the re-center has a weird effect where moving your camera snaps the camera back to where your mouse was before it re-centered. I like the idea behind leaning forward when looking up, I'm wondering though whether that could be disorienting when driving (under distress?) and the camera leans in unintentionally while looking at an object up ahead. I might just not be used to it, but maybe it could be a mouse keybind? Or leaning forward could be done with the scroll wheel? (Option toggle? I don't know how it would work on controllers.) I imagine it could be strange to lean forward, when you're just trying to look directly at the rear view mirror. Maybe my concern would go away if the sensitivity was adjusted. One final note, though minor is how the re-center feels like the camera belongs to a robot, it seems like the pathfinding is taking harsh diagonal and straight lines to re-center. You're probably already aware of it. All in all, I'll reiterate from an older comment that I'm really impressed with the performance, and really excited to see what comes next. The new mouse view certainly goes beyond what I was expecting.

helloflow

Thank you :) Yes, you'll need to re-download to get the last additions.

Ondrej Svadlena

Thanks for updating this great game Ondrej!! I downloaded the updates about a week ago but haven't played yet. Do I need to re-download again each time you repost the links? Just to confirm if there's things being added each time or if it's the same. Think I got a few notifications since you released V11. Thank you sir!

-Mar

A reset button would be nice, especially since you can get completely stuck in the mud or among the trees...

Mr. Bee

Call the tow truck

Alberto Kohrs

please add a button to the pause menu to move the car to the road

Roman Vařeka

Yeah, I know what you mean, it's like the water went into my eyes for a moment. It doesn’t bother me personally, in fact, I even like it, of course I understand that this is a bug. In any case, if you could never fix this bug, you should still be able to turn it on in the final version, because at 20FPS (with shadows and SSR on) it makes me feel like 30FPS and looks more like a movie visually, which gives it a better experience.

Pixintendo

Sure, I like it too, but there's a bug with the water splashes from puddles - there's a weird unnatural distortion, at least on my machine. Once that's fixed it will be back :)

Ondrej Svadlena

"unfortunately it appears I left the testing mo-blur on" Please don't disable it. Or, if you've already done so, make it available in an even later versions. :D There was something similar in an older version (I think 001 or also 007). Movement is now much more lifelike, especially with low FPS. With an FPS of 30 and below, it throws a lot on the scene as it compensates for the skipping of the low FPS a bit.

Pixintendo

look into some kind of dualshock 3 to xinput conversion software. None coming to mind right now but thats why it isnt detecting input. game only looks for xinput devices

Miles Mapes

So maybe I managed to solve something here :) The black bars are gone and I was able to record with OBS in Game mode - full application mode. There's a new toggle in the pause menu for Windowed/Fullscreen. The new build (v011 c) will be available in about 20 minutes.

Ondrej Svadlena

it would be nice if you could set your own controls but i don't know if thats possible,

Nigel Russell

yea that's the thing i don't own an xbox controller ..plus i'm still using the keyboard with xpadder so yea im not to sure what's going on with that, ( i have a ps3 controller)

Nigel Russell

I tried it on my XBox360 controller. Shift up is "A" Shift down is "X" Handbrake is "B" Have you tried switching from manual automatic and vice-versa?

Ondrej Svadlena

its like there is some controller conflict going on

Nigel Russell

i really want to play it but i cant

Nigel Russell

yea im having problem with this with the pad...what are the default controls cos i having problems playing since i can't get the car out of neutral. and i don't know what the gears are aymore

Nigel Russell

ok, thanks for the help

John Stevenson

I use MSI Afterburner, which is including RivaTunerStatisticsServer. I originally using for small OC, but it is also used for most Benchmark tests. Remember that it will not show the text by default, you will need to set it both apps (MSI Afterburner and RivaTuner) beforehand. Be sure to watch a tutorial about it, but if you’re curious about exactly my settings, I can show you.

Pixintendo

Regardless, i think, it’s not a real (Exclusive) full screen, it’s a full sized solution with a borderless window. The newer version of Unity looks to do something different by default. Since I don’t use Unity, that’s all I found, and I think it’s the real full screen: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/FullScreenMode.ExclusiveFullScreen.html I mean, when the screen goes dark for a short time when you switch between Windows Dekstop and the game, regardless of whether the resolution of the Desktop and the game use the same resolution. The real full screen has better performance, lower input latency, and I could also record with OBS in Game mode, and this version doesn't work, only in screen capture mode. In game mode, for some reason, I only got one still image and only recorded the sound.

Pixintendo

To get real full screen resolution, you need to start the game first, set with mouse to full screen, then Alt + Enter. Now you start the game from the menu, wait for it to load, then use Alt + F4 to exit. Next time, your game will start in true full resolution and not in distorted quality. From there, you know you did something wrong if the next time you start in the main menu, the texts are also a bit blurry.

Pixintendo

Thanks! Yes it looks like shadows are the real perf-killer here. Btw which performance analytics software do you use - I would like to check it out too :)

Ondrej Svadlena

Thanks! For entering or leaving full screen you press "alt + enter"

Ondrej Svadlena

hello, fun game. how do you make it full screen?

John Stevenson

Here is a little test of the SSR vs Shadow settings. https://youtu.be/is2_2yLCPjo When shadow is on, SSR doesn't matter much, 1-2FPS difference. However, if shadow and SSR are disabled, it can do up to 10FPS more. With my card (gtx1650), the golden mean is to turn off the shadow and enable SSR. (Anyone, who can't download the new version, should open the incognito mode, because the browser seems to be seeing the old one due to a cookie/cache error. The new file should be BEWARE_v011_b.zip).

Pixintendo

I played around the mirror cameras and resolution had not much effect. Only thing that did was disabling the camera. I''ll have to investigate more. For now there's a new option to disable SSR - it's v011 b. It some instances it does not matter that much when it's turned off. There are also newer versions of SSR which are better optimized and even work correctly in VR, but it's not reflecting all the volumetrics. The shadows are a tough one. I agree they are definitely a big improvement in the Last Region. As far as performance goes, in my case the shadow distance helps (now it's at 100meters) - I can try testing reducing the shadow resolution and providing back the flexibility of setting either 70m or 150m. Not too sure about the reflections of the streetlamps on pavement - for the windshield it's shader dependent and yes it may be too strong. Overall the migration from Unity5.5 to Unity2019.4 somewhat a letdown perf-wise, on the other hand we now have 1000m view distance instead of 400m, and a 9x bigger map. In all cases there's still room for improvements, a we'll need those with the vehicles and characters that will be added next.

Ondrej Svadlena

You can reset v006 in v006VR the start menu - to be sure everything gets reset correctly you should quit the game completely and restart.

Ondrej Svadlena

Possibly Linux but can't promise 100%. I'd love to offer a mac version but every time I tested on a friend's machine, performance was pretty abysmal. Maybe the new processors are more capable, although it seemed to be bound to the mac's often under-performant GPUs.

Ondrej Svadlena

Is there a way to reset my progress? I'd like to start from scratch with the first chase and want some of my friends, who visit, to try it out.

BoogieBrando

Will the game also be available on MacOS or Linux distributions? (possibly via Steam's compatibility platform). I prefer not to switch to Windows everytime I want to play :)

Thanks for your comment below my video, here I will reply if I have an opinion/idea. Rearview mirrors are really important, I would never disable them. :D But if it were possible for the player to optionally set the mirrors to a lower resolution, the thing could still work, because what really matters is how close the enemy is to the player can be detected at low quality. I just checked out the Unity documentation to see what exactly this Screen Space Reflection is, and it really matters a lot in this game, especially its wet everything. Regardless, in the final version, you should be given the option to disable it or reduce intensity, because only those who have a weaker card will have a chance to achieve an enjoyable FPS. The other thing is that it seems to me like you’re using Hard Shadow (or does it just seem to me like close objects?), which is slower. Don't have a faster version of this? So either it has a more pixelated edge and/or is much more blurred, and players could also individually set this to off, low, or normal quality. In fact, there is only one place in the game where you would need to turn on the shadows, and that is the Last Region, because there is literally as if light is passing through the objects. Another little thing is that compared to the v007, on the already familiar roads where the street lights are on, the light reflection seems too intense and the raindrops on the windshield are also very sharp. Is this also part of Screen Space Reflection? If so, they should be set from the game menu to what percentage of this effect should be active, or if that is not possible, put it in a config file and we could set it before starting. On top of all that, now this version has the most beautiful graphics. :) Maybe the daytime is really too dark now, it should be a little brighter. Keep up the good work! Edit: I thought wrong about the Hard Shadow, now I’m reading that Soft Shadow is a more expensive solution. Rather, the question is whether the resolution of the shadow can be reduced.

Pixintendo

Yes, it will be added later. I could not use the old mouse-look script because it does not work with Unity3D v2019.4

Ondrej Svadlena

I can't use my mouse to look around anymore, is this intentional?

root

Pro-tip, use the real life map: the spawn area is the town of Slapy ;)

Alberto Kohrs

only fan made of v001, I'm sure if you never played v001-007 extensively just hopping into v011 is probably confusing

Alberto Kohrs

Yep, this is using VPP instead of CarX. For one, the steering aid is more effective now - setting "steering assist" to 0.6 will give a feel more similar to the old physics. I was trying to match the "old" feel as much as possible while still respecting the real-world car physics of a skoda120. Also thinking about potential players that have no experience with driving games and making their first contact less intimidating. As for the story, yes, that will veer into more sinister avenues. Looking very much forward to implement that part :)

Ondrej Svadlena

is there some sort of map? the world feels absolutely massive and i have no idea where im going lol

piddi

I like how well it runs. I read that you changed the car physics, the difference I noticed was that it felt much much easier to drive quickly & turn as long as it's not a harsh angle without an indicator. I might just be good at controlling cars but it seemed worryingly easier to control than when I played the older industrial area demo. In the industrial level with the cool crane cars, controlling the car was quite dangerous & took quite a fair bit of effort to go around swings quickly, died many times from losing control of the car. Seemed unrealistic for me to be able to control my car speeding through swings on a wet-leaf soaked road without spinning out. This might also be because I'm not being put under pressure to go faster from a chase, I get the concern that the old physics might be too difficult, and I wouldn't be against making it easier but this felt oddly breezy, personally. Great game, been following it for years :) Only side note would be how early the idea that you're escaping state thugs in a soviet state unfolds to something more sinister as soon as you see the first cars stranded off-road with the odd lit-up tents a minute or two into spawning, though I'm excited to see where it's going.

helloflow

Extending my review from PM: Good job v011 VR_d it runs better than v007 VR. Nice optimization upgrade I can say right now hands down it's one of the best-looking VR games

Alberto Kohrs

never mind its working

NinjaJK11

okay i dont know why but whenever i try to play beware version 11 when i click play it says loading but then it just stops so i dont know whats going on and i have a realy good computer

NinjaJK11

Happy to hear that Romain :)

Ondrej Svadlena

With the version "D", the "r" key work fine now ! Thank you very much Ondrej, keep the work great :D

Romain Thiblet

That was still in heavily conceptual phase, so nothing final, but yes, it's supposed to be a car-plow. It will probably be joined by the autonomous "stabber" vehicles from Region 7/9.

Ondrej Svadlena

quick question what is the goon in the last region supposed to be because i looks like a plow

NinjaJK11

That's working for me now. Thanks!

Simon Gamester

Oh nice ! Anyway, your game is progressing well and I can't wait to discover the story behind it :D

Romain Thiblet

Yes I've experienced the same. It should be fixed & good now :)

Ondrej Svadlena

There should definitely be a BEWARE.exe in that zip file. Try this link and please do let me klnow if it worked out for you https://drive.google.com/file/d/1npvYpvsX0Trmmkr3He-5V8QKPFLieOjg/view

Ondrej Svadlena

Thank you very much for the updated links! If I may - the text of the `v011 download:` suggests Google Drive, yet the associated url still points to the transfernow website - not sure if intentional.

Petr Schreiber

Sorry Ondrej, but I didn't see an exe in the non vr version? How do I launch?

Simon Gamester

Nice. Found the people (some with umbrellas), walking to the light on a invisible bridge. Now I am even more intrigued to see the story behind all this. Fantastic atmosphere!

Sven

OK, I think I can fix the VR recenter issue :) I'll be posting a new VR version tonight.

Ondrej Svadlena

I guess that's due to my boy scout past and all the orientation training I've gone through :D Industrial maze is simple: drive toward blue light, switch on refineries lights, drive toward orange light, drive up "lamp hill", look for double lights, located above the 2 exits from maze, and drive to one of them. But yeah, I'm aware of the difficulty and thinking about better ways to design the navigation clues. To be honest, I got lost a couple of times myself :)

Ondrej Svadlena

Ondrej you really have a twisted sadistic mind what is up with the new industrial maze? Took me 3 hours from spawn to end bridge.

Alberto Kohrs

Yeah that's strange, i've also tested with the czech keyboard layout but still doesn't work

Romain Thiblet

OK, that's strange. Just tested it on my side and it works. To be sure, I checked the french keyboard layout and "h" is at the same position. So I'm a bit clueless to be honest. In the future there will be the possibility to re-assign keys/buttons based on preference.

Ondrej Svadlena

There is also the h key to recenter the view in vr which does not work

Romain Thiblet

You can write me a direct message, or write a comment in case you wish others to be able to chime in. 1) Yes, no mouse look (yet) it will be back :) For fullscreen, hit alt+enter. 2) Sorry, I'm not sure I understand correctly. Best would be a video/gif or even a drawing. Also there are two types of mud: there's the normal mud/earth and there's the wet slippery mud where you can gain more grip by keeping the RPMs around 2000.

Ondrej Svadlena

There's a new link for a new VR version (Beware_v011_VR_b) which supports OpenVR. Maybe it will address your issue with SteamVR. Actually I remembered that in v006VR I did enable OpenVR. Let me know :)

Ondrej Svadlena

Thanks for the feedback Sven. Those are all issues that will need to be solved. That includes the way to navigate towards the last part of the map - which is not intuitive enough. Right now, you have to drive toward the blueish lit clouds over the transformer field, flip the switch to turn on the refinery lights, then drive toward the orange lit clouds - once there drive up the lamp hill and look for a pair of white lit clouds - those are above two exits from the refineries and toward the last part of the map.

Ondrej Svadlena

I put up a link for a new VR version, which could possibly support SteamVR + some minor visual fixes

Ondrej Svadlena

What is the best channel of communication to report to you bugs/problems with the new release? I will write some down here: 1.- v011 release doesn't come with fullscreen and has no mouse look 2.- Mud in certain slopes pivots the car quite heavily towards remaining perpenticular to the slope, making many slopes inescapable traps.

Alberto Kohrs

File not available, so I guess it's still in the works? :)

Hoshi82

Played some hours, explored much. Wow, very big map now. Did not found the last map-part yet. But almost everything else and many new things. Very cool. The car is sometimes a bit "wonky", but otherwise okay. I miss the option to look around with the mouse. So I could not see much from the scenery. It seems also darker even at daylight. The car lights did not help very much and I often did not see changes in the streets fast enough.

Sven

Link for Vr work now ! :D

Romain Thiblet

Ok will test when it's up. :)

Hoshi82

Thanks for the info :) I just uploaded a fixed VR version, where you can also increase or reduce resolution. I'll look into the SteamVR compatibility in the future. For now, I'm building another VR version where I've enabled "OpenVR" in Unity's VR settings. Maybe it will help (?) Should be available for download later this evening.

Ondrej Svadlena

It does not stat in VR with my Valve Index :(. Yes I downloaded the correct one ^^, but it won't launch into SteamVR. Edit: Ok had to use Revive as it seems it's only for Oculus HMDs atm? Hope native support for Valve Index will be there also when it's finished :) For not it's working fine with Revive.

Hoshi82

Amazing! I'm downloading it now. So happy to be able to play this new version and I hope you are doing well! Edit: So I gave it a shot (although it's a bright sunny day here, so it will be much better to play it tonight with all the lights turned off) and it's really cool to be able to play it with a Xbox controller! For those who are using this as well, I found that setting the "Steering assist" to 0.6 and the "Non-linearity" to 0.70 works pretty well. Still takes a bit to get used to though, as the car is pretty bouncy. But I can't wait to explore the full map for hours on end!

Arthur Gouzy

Me too. I can not await to see the new download link.

Sven

Excited to play the new build and even more with the vr version. :)

Hoshi82

Damn, the file exceeds the wetransfer 2Gb limit, searching for an alternative... I'm uploading using another service now - hopefully better than the sendanywhere bs. Sorry for the chaos

Ondrej Svadlena

same

Nigel Russell

Oh, download does not work: "The link exceeded traffic quota. The link is no longer available."

Sven

Yessssss! Happy Dance! I hope you are well.

Sven
