I just recently, finally, made the Omega Kerfur, but after a day of having them, they just no longer work. I will turn them on, and no matter what I do, they will ALWAYS turn themself off after around 10-15 seconds. The problem still persists even if you break them down and rebuild them, or if I put them in the other skins.

I have checked by making a sandbox save: This issue is only in my normal story mode save

Try resetting the transformers.

That's a unique idea to fix it, but I can see how that could work

It worked! Thank you so much for the help ^^

For anyone who passes by, the way to fix this bug is specifically by hitting the transformers, then pressing the button to restart it. 

(1 edit)

It isn't actually a bug, nor is it (directly) fixed by resetting the transformers. There are a couple events with this effect on Kerfur-Omega, and they are often triggered and subsequently ended by going near a specific location, usually the main computer or a specific transformer.

Telling people to fix the transformers is just my spoiler-free way of directing them to the events, should they not make themselves obvious enough to get the player to go out there on their own. The events should cause the transformers to go down to lure you out there, but as far as I know, that might be bugged currently.

Ambience mode player here, here's what I noticed after 40 days:

Skerfur can trigger in ambience. This happened to me when I sent my Kerfur-O outside around 1AM. This seems almost certainly like a bug. As the Skerfur event is pretty spooky.

Superfog can trigger in ambience. Not sure if this is a bug since it's not exactly a scary event. But it does lock out sleeping/pausing/saving during it.

Dreams can trigger in ambience. Not sure if it's working as intended or a bug. Not the most scary stuff but a few of them, like the rising water level or being chased by shadowy figures, that gave me cold sweats.

Toyota Corolla can spawn in ambience. Not the most spooky thing, but I think it counts as one of the random events? Therefore I'm thinking it shouldn't trigger.

The version I'm playing is 0.8.2c

Suddenly, the character found themselves in a confined space with no apparent exits, like a small room. The walls were made of gray material that stretched across the entire screen. I apologize for any errors, as this text was translated from another language.

If you set a mannequin on fire, they will become permanently(?) hostile, even if you extinguish them after the fact. It takes a while for the cremator to burn them, so you just have to be patient.

Oh, thank you I'll delete this post sorry-

The computer terminals in the base and satellite dishes can still accept commands such as sv.target and llama.saatana while "Calculations" power is turned off.

Anybody else been seeing a bunch of these weird "blank" plants around the map? they appear all over the place, look like just the little hillock of dry dirt from when you've planted a seed but forgot to water it:


...and they never grow into anything, no matter how long you wait. clicking "use" on them just makes them disappear with a THWAP sound and an error message:





always some variation of "growingPlant_shroom_7_C".



very odd. whatever "shroom_7_C" is, it doesn't seem to be spawning quite right.

This is what is planted when a puffball mushroom explodes into spores. It used to work properly in older versions where only mushrooms could be grown, but the full farming system seems to have broken it.

Im not sure if this is a bug but randomly I got teleported to a white void, any item I dropped was not visible but still could be interacted with, there was no entities, and meta paranoia was active, I also couldnt open the pause menu in any compacity. Eventually I got teleported to the front gate. Latest patch, was near the garage just looking at my atv when this happened, just in front of the garage. Everything worked fine afterward, maybe clipped through the world?

If you use the physics gun (overcharged unknown weapon) on the immobile vents, you gain the ability to hold and collect the vents and they freeze inside your body when you drop them 

There is a random invisible patch of air by the edge of the river at X:325 Y:-420. It looks like nothing is wrong from the outside, but you can walk, breathe, and jump normally in there.

Insane Saturation - the whole screen goes white and yellow when I press apply after resetting to defaults

This has something to do with both the color filter and hue settings, try messing with them.

you can fly by using an item box and a metal desk by putting the item box in one of the table's holes. version is 0.8.2b

Во время доставки дрона произошло сохрание и он улетал. он не успел далеко улететь и после этого я умер и меня откатило на сейв когда он скидывал груз и после он не может вылететь за пределы красного барьера - ровно так же, как это происходит и с игроком - он просто бьется об стенку и всё, если добраться до него с помощью крюка  и потыкать то он может пролететь через стену и улететь. Но при повторном прилёте он так же не сможет вылететь за пределы красного барьера, вызывая моментами уже soft-lock 0.8.2с

радар скрыт, мб софт, а так я хз как пофиксить проблему, если можешь, мне брат показывал как удалять сейвы, типо откатить, однако я уже к сожалению не помню, попробуй в дате (appdata/local/votv/assets) там мб можжно поискать, просто удалишь последние два-три сейва и все, но опять же, ищи сам как удалять

it does not work on tv but only on VOTV  try a lot failed a lot

I've heard the Itch.io launcher isn't compatible with this game, try downloading the game and putting it into it's own folder.

1. Your Google forms link is dead.

2. My game consistently crashes when I idle on the main menu for > 1 min. Error message: “LowLevelFatalError [File:Unknown] [Line: 198] Unreal Engine is exiting due to D3D device being lost. (Error:0x887A0006 - 'HUNG')”. After closing the error popup, the game is unresponsive and shows the last rendered menu frame. Music continues looping, but I need to close the executable with the task manager. The game itself runs fine once out of the main menu. I had the same experience in all previous versions, I just never reported it.

I don't experience that behavior with any other game. I run a GTX 1080 in an otherwise fairly up-to-date system with Windows 11 and current drivers.

3. Selecting save games to delete is buggy and may lead to accidentally deleting the wrong save file. With multiple game saves / slots, first select different save files / slots one after another and then try to delete one. I get a sidebar error “Invalid save file” and if I continue with the deletion by accepting the popup, a different save from the one last selected is deleted.

Let me know if I can provide further support.

After the Arrial event when they lift everything into the sky, plates (I think) got stuck in the wall, making an awful never ending clanking noise. Its so bad i might have to just quit my save because its so loud and i cannot find where its coming from :(

You could turn off physics objects in options that might stop the sound, you could also load an earlier save if you have one and then there is another setting that i think prevents events that mess with physics objects.

Tried using the scrap container up and down the elevator. Never had issues with it before now. I hooked it up to rest on top of the platform ,then I hit the button to send it up. When I came upstairs to meet it up there it had not come up. I came back down and the elevator was slightly skewed with the scrap container embedded inside it. I will note I always make sure to take the hook off the scrap container before sending it up, so that is not what embedded it. I tried pulling the scrap container out with the grab function and then with hooks, and that made the skew worse. This is when I took the screenshot.

Try using the push broom to knock it out of the wall or if you have gotten a certain physics-related object try using it to grab the container and then run away while still grabbing the container. It should eventually pop out. You could also try hooking it to the atv then driving out of the garage.

Trash is stuck between wall and locker, I can't pick it up or move it at all and it is crashing against the locker with the super loud metal crash repeatedly. I tried to burn it (Molotov) but it did not effect it at all. 

Try pushing it out with a broom, there should be one in the supply closet.

failure to save while on ATV has an unspecified error rather than a specified error (should be "can't save mid-air")

If you're referring to "Save Error: NULL", that is intended (you're technically not in the air, but also not not in the air...lol).

If it's a different error, then that's odd.

No bugs or coaches of any kind i mean just 1 cuz u force me to and wanted to ask what exactly is exclusive to patreon and what is not 

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? 

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 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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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?

(+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:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1412CHenPytBA4O063F2UF-xx3OB_T59o

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

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

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

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

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)

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!

(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.

(+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.

oh, well..

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 :( 

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.

(+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.

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.

(+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%

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...

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

👍

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

The game does have some physics issues.

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

(+1)

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

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

(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?

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.)

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. 

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

(+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.

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

(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)

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

?

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

(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?
