I believe that is the nvidia overlay, you can get rid of it by pressing alt+r also try pressing alt+z and messing with settings. you can change the hotkeys so that way you don't accidently push it again.

I like how you call me out on penmanship and then proceed to capitalize every other word for no reason, as well as misquoting my comment. And yeah, it was meant to be passive aggressive lol I'm glad you picked up on that. You can keep commenting on every other comment with nothing of use though. I don't feel like replying to your other dumb arguements so have a good one dude.

Wow, thanks for the insightful input. If he was joking, it wasn't very obvious.

This happened to me pretty often, whenever it does i would just quit to menu and load the save and it would fix.

It pretty obviously is a bug.

Same goes for deactivating the nvidia functions bro. 

Not sure what exactly your point is, that's what i said. Don't use the launcher, so therefore download through the itch.io website or votv website and extract it. I don't think 7zip is actually necessary anymore.

I'm pretty sure this has been in the game for a while, I have never seen it personally but i do remember finding a blood stain there and wondering where it came from. And it does seem to be Skerfur or whatever it's name is. There is a few spots you can see it.

Bro the game barely runs well on great computers, i would be very surprised if it ever comes to android. Not to mention the controls would be nearly impossible to port to touch.

You shouldn't be downloading the game through the itch.io launcher or whatever it is, if you are. The game is incompatible with it, and while it might've worked on the last version, the home page of the game says to use 7zip to extract the game. 

It's been reported that this happens, supposedly it has something to do with a debug setting still enabled that causes the towers to blow a fuse when you push the alt key, which is kind of stupid. LOL

Regenerate sav.data or whatever in the options.

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.

Just download the game and unzip it using 7zip? Why do you guys need a launcher??

I think it says it in the flashlight description but true.

The flashlight mode was added in the last update i think, it used to be alt + f i believe.

If you're playing on the 9.0 build then try holding r i think the hold and press options are flipped and can be swapped in the settings.

You never bring a satellite to you and i'm not aware of a command to do that. If you're not sure how to set your compass to a satellite dish then all you have to type is "sv.target echo" if you want to go to echo and so on.

Setting the render quality to zero is not recommended, and it has always made the text and stuff very hard to read.

Good to know, definitely could use some more direct instructions. Lol

You have to make it from the pink triangle to the red x, although it looks like that particular puzzle is not completable because the x is blocked. i think retrying it will give a different pattern.

You should learn some computer literacy to keep from sounding like an idiot on the internet.

Why are you using a shimloader with no mods? Afaik the whole point of shimloader is to allow you to mod the game.

You most likely fell out of bounds when you ragdolled in the corner and you will always crash when falling out of bounds in tutorial, it's sort of like an anti cheat for all the secrets in the tutorial that hopefully haven't been removed in the new version, seeing as i couldn't find a way to open secret areas and stuff. 

What does the crash report, if you get one, say? Does the game crash when you launch it or after running the game for a while, if it's the latter then it i most likely because of ram shortage or something similar. Try lowering the visual settings, as even really good pc's will have trouble running this game usually, especially after the new update.

Try looking up a tutorial, the game is supposed to explain in the email, but i never got an email. So i looked up a tutorial on how to do it.

Okay, you found the one way you can. I tried doing it multiple times after realizing the tutorial was shit and it kept teleporting me.

You can't just skip ahead in the tutorial, the game teleports you to whatever step your on and says to complete the task.

Ah, yes the quintessential modifier key for pc's is SO unintuitive.

You can rebind nvidia controls, which will let you use the alt inputs.

The controls aren't even marginally better. The hold and use should be flipped, the circle in the center of the screen is obnoxious, not to mention anyone with any modicum of computer knowledge should find the alt + interact button controls easy to use since it's literally used in countless pc hotkeys.

Why couldn't the others just get used to the controls that have been in the game for years? The game shouldn't be dumbed down.

I hate the new controls. Lol why there isn't a toggle for the old controls is absolutely insane to me. And the tutorial was definitely way too hand holdy. I get people ask dumb questions all the time that are literally answered in game but no reason to dumb the entire game down especially on a part that is unskippable.

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.

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

Mr.DrNose took him out before he finished the question. Lol

If you're overclocking your GPU this can cause that error i think, Or maybe you need to update your drivers/directx. Regardless that error is relating to your graphics card either being unable to support the game or being outdated/damaged. It is weird that your able to launch the game into the main menu though as usually that error would just appear when you launch the game. Maybe try using DXVK, i'm not entirely sure how it works but this was posted on another VOTV reddit with the same error as you. 

"You could use -dx12 flag like that: create a shortcut and add -dx12 ("C:\..." -dx12) through properties. I still have an error on line 684, but I've heard new ARM processors shipped with better drivers, so it could help.

If you want to dive even deeper, you could use dxvk, just download latest version from github and place dxdi.dll, d3d10core.dll and d3d11.dll in game folder under VotV/Binaries/Win64 near large size exe - that should be done without -dx12 flag."

Also, you didn't need to buy the game. It's free to download.

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.

What is wrong with the text? Does it look like a jumbled mess of a bunch of numbers/ letters? If so then try lowering the AA settings to lowest settings. There is two different AA settings in game and i think they conflict with eachother which makes the text hard to read. Or if the text is just very blurry/pixelated then it's probably a resolution problem which would mean you need to try raising the in game resolution or turn on automatic screen res.

Not really a votv reference, just a reference to a meme. look up "oiia cat". Maxwell and the oiia cat look similar but maxwell is actually a reference to an internet cat called "maxwell the cat" he was just an angry looking cat, i'm pretty sure his in game model is just the meme picture that was made into a 3d model.
