Thank you for reporting these issues.

If you have high resolution display, for example 4k or 2k, I'd recommend to lower resolution to for example 1920x1080. You can do this from the settings (gear icon) > visuals, under "FOV"

The white pixelated circle of light is caused by the motion blur setting. Also settings > visuals

As for the controller - what controller do you have? Game has universal gamepad support, so controllers should work - but there might be issues with specific controllers. I have tested with a PS5 controller on my MacBook.

Actually, I'd like to challenge the assumption that you need asset store plugins in the first place. In our humble opinion you don't need Asset Store plugins for Unity to look fantastic. We have achieved near photorealistic lighting and reflections in Unity, both in URP and HDRP (haven't tried built-in for a while) without using any Asset store plugins, in Unity versions 2021, 2022, 2023 and now in Unity 6.

I recommend to check out Unity tutorials and free samples, https://unity.com/blog/unity-6-graphics-learning-resources. Additionally, I recommend to learn about these keywords

• Baked lighting
• Light probes and adaptive probe volumes
• Reflection probes
• Post-Processing (bloom, tone mapping etc)

Thank you for playing!

If you are still lost, here's cool maps that might help: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3241370355 (although chapter 4 is still pretty complex)

Thank you for playing!

Thank you!

Well, it would be awesome. No promises though, getting game optimized enough so it can run on Nintendo Switch and still look decent can be challenging. Perhaps after console ports and VR

Working on VR right now! (Update: VR is now available on Steam Beta as of Dec 2024 - coming to itch.io when ready)

We are porting POOLS to consoles!

Thank you for pointing this out, simply forgot to update the itch.io release status. I now updated POOLS release status to "Released", like in Steam. We'll still continue to do updates here and there.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you for playing

We are currently waiting for confirmation from GOG to release POOLS there!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Hi, we just updated the game. Does this still happen?
What operating system and version do you have? Windows 10 or 11?

it would help a ton if you could send your "Player.log" text files to us via email to support@tensori.fi. There could be error messages in those log files that could point us towards finding the cause of these problems.

You can find the log files from here in Windows: C:\Users\[YOUR USER NAME]\AppData\LocalLow\Tensori\Pools

Thank you!

Thank you

Obrigado. Lançaremos mais conteúdo este ano

Thank you. We will release more content this year

Thank you

Hi, apologies for your inconvenience.

One possible solution is to add this to the launch options
-force-d3d11

If this doesn't help, I have heard that for some it's possible to get to the menu but after trying to play one of the chapters the game crashes. If this is the case, we could test few settings - in the settings menu there are several settings that increase graphics performance:

• "resolution" to lower, for example 3840x2160 -> 1920x1080
• "image-upscaling" to "FSR" (or "DLSS" also works if you have it available)
• "lighting quality" to "none"/"low"
• "reflection quality" to "off"/"low"
• "anti-aliasing" to "off"

If these things don't help, it would help a ton if you could send your "Player.log" text files to us via email to support@tensori.fi. There could be error messages in those log files that could point us towards finding the cause of these problems.

You can find the log files from here in Windows:
C:\Users\[YOUR USER NAME]\AppData\LocalLow\Tensori\Pools

Furthermore, could you share following details about your hardware:

• GPU
• CPU
• RAM

If you are using a laptop, the laptop model would be also very useful.


Thanks
