Please help. Idk where to post my problem, hopefully someone can explain. My Kerfur keeps avoiding the front door anytime it's finished fixing servers, and instead defaults to moving towards the glitched triangular shaped floor near the window and keeps clipping under the map. The weird thing is, this never happened before. I first started playing this game on *infinite* gamemode (not realizing I'd be missing story events, chose this because I thought story mode ends and you would have to start over again) but my nephew was playing this on his own time in story mode, and neither did my Kerfur in *infinite* or his Kerfur in *story* mode have this problem. Kerfur would always enter thru the front door when it couldn't find anymore servers to fix and come straight to us. But when I started a new save on *story* mode, I got Kerfur again and for whatever reason it now always does this but only on MY *story* save. Not on any other save... why???? why am I cursed?

Void Cat63 days ago

Do you always lock all the doors after Kerfur goes out to fix the servers? Because Kerfur doesn't unlock the doors by itself, it'll just avoid the locked doors and try following you throught the path that is the closest to you (which so happens to be the glitched triangular floor next to the window, if you locked all the doors and stay close to the window, which is something that does happen if you happen to be getting signals while Kerfur is outside)

I am tired... miss home83 days ago

I don't know if anybody's mentioned it but I've tried using the tv and it worked fine at first, had a 480p single video saved in the file it was supposed to, the tv turned that video on
all was well... then a minute or two later it crashed the game, found a forum on reddit as well of people having the same issue
so I thought I'd mention that just in case

Matheus-OliRod83 days ago

I cannot use the computer, it is turned on, but nothing is working. I have tried to re enter the save multiple times. It has happened before but i don't know why it is stuck neither how to unstuck

ChitChat Cat83 days ago

Most likely your transformer has turned off. You need to turn it on, and then turn on the switches in the basement.

Matheus-OliRod83 days ago

It is not a power thing. The computer is turned on, but i cannot interact with the shop, modules or any other feature of it, neither read the daily tasks.

ChitChat Cat82 days ago

It's hard to help with a problem when the input data is "can't interact" only

Matheus-OliRod82 days ago

Well, i didn't know how to describe neither reproduce, but i noticed that if i re open the game, there is a chance that it will be working, but once i get this problem again i will record

Moonwhaler80 days ago

Alt tabbing the game can be glitchy sometimes, at least in my experience.

EATABAGOFHELL82 days ago

Spotted a mysterious motionless dark orb in the sky way off the north edge of the map. Thought I'd discovered some new entity or event; hopped the fence to go take a closer look.

Turns out if one of the stroggified pigs explodes violently enough, its goo can reach the invisible boundary wall and stick there. With no way to climb up to it or gravity gun it down, it's just kind of glued to the sky forever.

Bearsjunior76 days ago

Not really an actual bug, just the physics engine being the physics engine, probably got blasted up there by an Ariral firing at a nearby boar. You can climb up there with a hook and bring it down if you don't want it.

Also, unrelated to the rest of this, but how did you get those clearer item icons?

EATABAGOFHELL75 days ago(+1)

@Bearsjunior the icons are actually just 64x64 jpegs renamed to ".vimg" stored in the folder " C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\VotV\Assets\icons ". I got tired of squinting at the little indistinct grayish blobs the game renders for most items so basically I just screenshotted a bunch of the more commonly used tools in front of a chromakey curtain and made new icons in gimp. Gimme a sec, i'll throw em up on google drive if itch lets us post links to that:

i cant do custom posters, in settings all what need i enable, get PNG photo to the assers/poster, but when i use or try to do it, there are nothing, (i cant choose png fail cause nothing at the black screen) не могу делать кастомки (постеры), в настройках все что надо врубил, в игру перезаходил, пнг файл в нужну. папку кинул, на выборе фотки для постера буквально ничего, это у всех так? просто посередине черно серый прямоугольник

Moonwhaler80 days ago

Make sure you push the "refresh assets" button in the settings after adding anything to the folders.

pelm567891057 days ago

ty, idk work it or no, but im gonna try

i fond my problem, I USING JPG NOT PNG FILE... but ut ry help me, thanks

SirMisterDoctor77 days ago

The "7 hours" achievement isn't working in the latest version, refusing to stick around even after completing the tutorial in its entirety

Bearsjunior76 days ago

Try applying settings after getting it. It may seem like a weird suggestion, but doing so saves your stats and achievements without needing to directly save the game (which you can't do in the tutorial)

Dabo77 days ago

Kerfus-O arms and legs only crafted one of each for me.

then the game autosaved and I think im soft locked out of getting a Kerfer!

Stax77 days ago (1 edit)

i found an area where i can no-clip under the base. its to the left of the front door and mailbox. its a little dark triangle to the right of the window. i can walk around underneath the entire base.

Moonwhaler77 days ago(+1)

It's intentional, sometimes things can fall under the base so this is a way to get stuff from under the base plus it's got a useless secret note somewhere i think.

Stax76 days ago

oh, well..

DakkiAki76 days ago

PLEASE HELP! Found a bug. I got the event that caused my Kerfur Omega to appear in a fleshly area on the camera. When it ended, I kept experiencing something weird, randomly I would hear something moving in my base (like an entity colliding with the surrounding? or rummaging) and I swear I saw for a brief moment a red laser outside the window? Followed by a loud sound of me getting hit and falling over... I am SO confused. This especially happens when I click to pat Kerfur, so I decided to turn Kerfur Omega off, then it just vanishes... poof! gone! No where on the radar and I can't view the camera :(

Stax75 days ago

I'm not sure if this was intended or not. but, i got a thought saying i didn't feel well, and right after i got an alert saying don't look inside the locker. (which i obv did) my screen went black for a second or two and my game crashed.

ChitChat Cat74 days ago(+1)

You were warned not to look in the locker. You got the consequences of your curiosity.

How you feel doesn't matter here. Only your curiosity.

giu.andre72 days ago

I downloaded VotV just yesterday. I chose to play in 'environment' mode because I was looking for a relaxing experience. I’ve just decided to quit the game because the transformers break at least twice a day: absolutely nerve-wracking. I can’t make any progress.

Bearsjunior72 days ago(+1)

Not really a bug; the transformers aren’t disabled or made easier in Ambience mode, and you still have to manage them just as much as you would normally.

If they are going down twice in an in-game day, it might be because of your power consumption; power some functions off using the breaker in the basement or the Components tab in the computer when not needed.

The following list is what each component controls, alongside it’s power consumption percentage.

Calculations - Signal processing panel, Satellite consoles, and Servers - 33.33%
Downloading - Signal downloading panel - 26.67%
Coordinates - Coordinates panel (Signal catching) - 20.00%
Playing - Playback panel - 13.33%
Utilities - Main computer, Doors & Door locks, Electric lights (both static overhead lights and purchased lights), and Outlets - 6.67%

giu.andre66 days ago

Thanks for the reply =)
I hadn't thought about that...
Thanks also for the fuel consumption, so I'll know how to adjust!

The key card to the bunker fell into the rocks...

ChitChat Cat68 days ago

Start a new game, get the keycard, put it in the mailbox and get it from the mailbox on your main save.

HDKEST69266 days ago

👍

I am tired... miss home68 days ago

I don't know if anybody mentioned this but at times my items seem to fall over or end up in places despite them being placed in a specific place (like paper cups on a table)

but also the light stick thingies are very janky in the sense that they either freak out after reloading the game or try to fly towards a spot of where I was trying to place an item, sometimes they do it after I used the same shift alt placement with the lights or otherwise

also also (I don't know if this is technically a bug or just hitbox misalignment but but will mention either way) some items like the metal shelf model have this issue of things clipping through them like a clock, so you can see the bottom of the clock clipping through

also there seems to be an issue with accepting placement of items sometimes through the ceiling rather than realigning said props to face down? so that way they won't clip through the ceiling and get stuck in a spot where nobody can get to it (salt lamp for example)

also for the last one... I just hope there will be a way to fix items clipping through the map and splashing into its underground

I think that's all the biggest ones I've seen?

except the crashing done because of custom video playing on tv but that's probably been talked about to death

ChitChat Cat68 days ago

The game does have some physics issues.

prismo 1868 days ago

i can't download the game , when i hit download button it downloads for a little bit and then says that the file was not available in the website

HDKEST69265 days ago(+1)

try download YeetPatch https://votv.dev/patcher_assets/download/YeetPatch-latest.zip

steventylerseanherr66 days ago(+1)

not sure if this is considered a bug or not. but the pbr and normal map textures seem to be read in srgb color space instead of linear.
this isnt correct as pbr and normal map textures are not color data but instead channel packed data.
you dont colorspace normal directions because doing so will result in the wrong values (you can see this in game if you give a sphere model a normal map that is a solid 0.5,0.5,1.0 color and rotating it around)
the normal map is a direction vector from the models surface
0.5,0.5,1.0 is pointing straight out from the surface
if you srgb colorspace that then you get 0.73,0.73,1.0
giving the wrong normal direction

id recommend a setting in the mesh properties.cfg to read the normal map and pbr as data instead of color
that way already made models wont suffer from this if it is changed
if this is working as intended though uhhhh
guess i have a feature request

HDKEST69265 days ago (1 edit)

It's not exactly a bug, but after the 13 day, my FPS dropped significantly, not just when loading a save, but throughout the entire game. I lowered the settings, cleaned the base, but nothing helped. Before, I had a stable 50/60 FPS, but after that, it wouldn't even go above 20. EDITED: The game is only using 5% of my gpu resources. How can I manually increase the limit?

necrocrunk64 days ago

not sure if anyone mentioned this, but i heard the rock floating was virtually broken in this version. tried every guide i could find, and every method i could to try and get the water rune, ended up having to give it to myself from another save (because peace and love im not walking thru the entire area with a rock.)

necrocrunk64 days ago

another one while im at it, the frame rate is TANKING. i used to have my base decorated in so many items it was honestly atrocious, and i'd average around 60fps save for small drops with events. now, even with no fancy textured objects, and no 3d printed objects or custom ones for that matter, im averaging around 20-30 fps in the base around all my stuff.

Shoe59 days ago

whenever i control a kerfur or a drone without the keyboard module, my sensitivity goes down until i quicksave

Pacman018858 days ago

Audio is skipping? stuttering maybe?

the best way to explain the issue is this: the game audio (menu music/ Background noises) are consistently skipping about every 2 seconds. im atleast 90% sure this isnt a feature because its really annoying.

sounds like crickets just stop and start like its a non-looped short audio clip.

I am tired... miss home57 days ago

Is it a bug that in the ambiance mode an event happens that made my Omega Kerfur disappear into a bloody mess?

from what I read it was supposed to happen because of an entity in the game but in that mode I don’t think such things should exist, I was confused in how to bring my Kerfur back nor know how to save and sleep again so before doing anything more I just jumped off a tower to restart my save

Kerfur is fine now but weird that I had to outright die to go back to a save to fix it

kdsk22254 days ago

I can't start the game due to this error help pls

capitalthree53 days ago (2 edits) (-1)

This might be a bit esoteric but I have found that you can "upgrade" the ATV with storage by nailing a crate to it with planks.

However upon a game save and load, it becomes detached. If you drive the ATV, it will pull away and leave the crate and planks hovering in the air.

I dunno, maybe fixing this on a game load is out-of-scope for the game. Personally I'd love it... it feels fair, a reward for clever use of in-game tools, and also isn't overpowered (it can become detached easily on a crash). But in particular, if it can't be fixed, it might be better to prevent it from working in the first place. Someone might think this is a viable strategy, and later get caught with their pants down loading their game far away from home, and struggle to bring their stuff home.

orionp45 days ago

i put the large and small plates stacked on top of each other away in the lower cupboards to store them, upon quitting and loading my save all the plates were clipping into the floor and being very loud, i assume this is a bug with open containers because storing the plates upside down hasnt had this issue

Metrodev@real45 days ago

Error 0xc00007b when i launch the game. All my games work perfectly except this one.

robinsm0745 days ago

I downloaded the game earlier today, played for a while then saved and quit while i went to make food, i've come back and now the alt + R doesn't work.

Please help, i'm enjoying this game T_T

Moonwhaler36 days ago(+2)

Might be a conflict with your pc hotkeys, I think nvidia uses Alt+R for something so that or something else on your pc might be conflicting with it.

Djaz_Antr37 days ago

In version 0.8.2c, walking mannequins do not get up after falling for an unknown reason. If they are put back on their feet, they will chase the player until they fall again

ertoletik32 days ago (1 edit)

Almost every time I save and exit the game, when I come back I get rolled back for some period of time. (0.8.2с)

Moonwhaler32 days ago

If you're past a certain day, i think like 50- ish then the game doesn't progress past that point.

ertoletik31 days ago

I haven't reached day 50 yet. This happens even on day 5.

Moonwhaler29 days ago

Did you run into a wisp? One of them makes the time go in reverse until you reset which can make it seem like your time is not progressing.

Vivo_or_Pivo32 days ago (1 edit)

У меня пробле и она заключается в том что события с ариралами которые должны происходить не происходят, если это баг то как его пофиксить?
I have a problem and it is that events with arirals that should happen do not happen. If this is a bug, how can I fix it?

ninjamaster68630 days ago

I added about 40 Gb worth of videos to the TV folder, most of them are short so its like 1500+ videos, and the game is normal, but as soon as I open the video browser on any tv, the game will function as normal, but all of the building and terrain textures become very low quality, to the point where the walls on alpha base only have around 8 pixels worth of details spread the entire wall (bad way of explaining but it almost looks like the textures if they were seen from a very very low render distance).

ninjamaster68630 days ago

Also keyboard control module only works for drone, not either of the kerf

🔵skittelz1943🔵29 days ago

Upon firing up the game, it immediately crashes. Same with Thunderstore but it gives two error messages, a mildly long one on the first and a short error on the second one.

Limbuscompanyplayer64 days ago

how do i play this game, it keeps saying its missing files but i downloaded it from the link here and extracted all files but keeps saying its missing files

REsaY22 days ago

I'm on 0.8.2c, brand new install literally an hour ago or so. I can't seem to place held items down either with precision place or the regular place.

REsaY22 days ago

Disregard entirely, it's because I have a Nvidia GPU and Alt+R opens up a statistics display in the corner, this has to be disabled for placing to work.

[CG] Octo Engie21 days ago

I literally can't complete my daily tasks, calling the drone doesn't work at all, but it arrives on its own just fine

MoonArtyre18 days ago (1 edit)

Custom content doesn't actually use the real %LOCALAPPDATA% but rather what seems to be a hardcoded path using the systems PC Name?

%LOCALAPPDATA% has all the expected save game data etc you'd expect, so it it does use this for save data.
However when we activate custom content and it says that we should add our content to the %LOCALAPPDATA%/Votv/Assets/tv you might not be able to get the assets folder at all.
Instead what the game did, is create a "fake" Appdata using the pc name. In my case it created a new folder path under Users: (PcName)/Appdata/Local/VotV/Assets/tv

Moonwhaler17 days ago (1 edit) (-1)

That's weird my save data and custom content folders are all located in the same folder which is "C:\Users\"myname"\AppData\Local\VotV". It has always been this way as well at least as long as i have played the game which is about a year. I think you can set your own custom content file path in-game in the settings.

MoonArtyre16 days ago(-1)

I'm glad that it works for you, but that's not the point of a bug report.
The default settings, aka blank asset path, leads to the game creating and searching for a false Appdata path.
Meaning there is some bug or discrepancy in how the game gets Appdata while accessing custom content, vs how the game gets Appdata while accessing save data etc.

Sonic The Hedgehog13 days ago (1 edit)

One time I got a bug, my Kerfur/Kerfus got stuck underneath the base, yknow the place where the secre note is?

so anyway it took me FOREVER to find the entrance to the underground. and I'm not sure if this happens often with others but, I think you should look into it.

Kidoftheinternet12 days ago

hello, the Google form won't open for some reason, so i decided to leave the report here. i'm not completely sure if this is a bug or intentional, but i found a way under the map. it's on the entrance to the base, and i stumbled on it by accident, even couldn't get out at first. i got it recorded so that you would be able to find it easily, take a look, pls

shanedavies0212 days ago

I don't remember where I read it (possibly the wiki, but I can't find it now), but this is supposedly intentional. I believe it's so you can retrieve things that have clipped through the floor. If it was a bug, it would have been fixed by now, as it's been known about across several builds.

bruticetamer10 days ago

trying to get more info about it but for some reason on certain saves of the game my mouse will disappear when starting the server repair minigame getting me stuck in the screen and having to close the game.

PinouZege10 days ago

Hello everyone, I don't know if I'm the only one, but I'm encountering a very frustrating bug. I can no longer put any items in any box. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the game (with and without my save file), and the bug persists. Has anyone else experienced and resolved this bug?

bruhman010 days ago

This also counts towards v.9 if im correct but oh well

For some reason in one of my save files (specifically, im on a file with an drone hooked onto a camera) it will never move, I think the cause of this issue is you know you can hook anything to the main drone? I tried to hook a camera to it, the camera got stuck on the barrier and now the drone is inactive, and to prevent this from happening in the future, is it possible to make the main drone not be able to be hooked onto?

Please fix or tell me whats wrong

SATANIC610 days ago

im having issues with sitting on chairs / benches and then clipping through the map its annoying cuz then i end up in a maze thing and my menu doesn't work so i have to force the game closed through task manager

bruhman06 days ago

For whenever reason, Whenever the 'escape' entity appears, I can easily get rid of it by jumping off an not very ledge or going up the radio tower, is this intentional, And for some reason it also sometimes doesnt even show the 'escape' message when it spawns, leading me to just suddenly get murdered out of nowhere if i don't notice it

Omni_30003 days ago (1 edit)

Opening up the radio menu and clicking on a song/pressing the skip button instantly crashes my game. I had this problem before and fixed it temporarily by re-copying the .mp3 files back into the /assets/radio folder and reloading it using the button in the settings. This doesn't work anymore and now I have this problem every single time I try to use the radio, no matter which song I click on.

This is probably due to an unsupported character in one of the song titles, but given how often such characters get used this can be a problem.

Here's the error message I get:

LowLevelFatalError [File:Unknown] [Line: 902]

Rendering thread exception:
