Derek THG Update - May 2023
Hi Everyone, Derek here.
I know it's been a little while since I've done an actual update. With everything that was going on around the anniversary, and since I did not have much to share, I figured it was okay to skip April.
This update is going to be short. I've been working on the V2.1 update for D401, but it's been taking more time than expected. At this point, all the light baking has been completed and all the bugs discovered in V2.0 by the QA team have been fixed. However, I am currently dealing with a significant performance issue in the demo that I so far have not had luck finding a definitive cause for yet.
Once the performance issue is sorted, I will be sending the update over to our QA team for a final testing period to ensure we haven't missed anything before we release.
As a result, I haven't really had much time to spend on P401 yet, so no update on that as of yet. However, on that front, we have teamed up and hired an external company to produce sound effects for P401, and recently we received the effects for a first test area in P401. These effects will help turn P401 into the most immersive experience we have created to date.
One final note. Kyle has asked me to share with all of you that he has recently had a tragedy in his close family, and as a result, will be taking some time away from THG. So please forgive him for the lack of Patreon updates recently. When he is ready, he will update you all directly.
Thank you all for your continued patronage,
Take care,

Just a heads up the dining room freeze up and fps drop issue is back On my laptop anyway. The Nvidia driver way back that was supposed to fix it did indeed do so but subsequent drivers may have broken or undone that fix. Just thought I’d make you all aware
Thanks for the update! Sent all my best wishes to Kyle. Hope the issues in V2.1 will be fixed some day soon
Thanks for the update. Best thoughts to Kyle. "At this point, all the light baking has been completed and all the bugs discovered in V2.0 by the QA team have been fixed." I hope this includes the AMD graphics issues.
Nothing I can do about that issue unfortunately. Unless Unreal or AMD applied a fix in an update, which is theoretically possible but unlikely.
Sending prayers and condolences to Kyle and his family.... All the best
Sending hugs and condolences to Kyle and his family. Take all the time you need.
All the best to you, Kyle. Take all the time you need. We’ll still be here when you get back. :)
Kyle- I know I speak for all of us here when I say I’m truly sorry to hear about the family situation you’re dealing with and my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family in this difficult time. Know how appreciated, respected, and admired you are, and take all the time you need to come back to us here. Please stay safe! Bob
Can we have a new cabin to explore in V2.1 of the demo?
No.
