    No I didn't know that. What is your personal reason for not installing Steam? You don't like indie games?

    Steam is heaven sent for small and indie devs as they can self publish games now.

    It might change so we can sell it without Steam in the future, but as a small dev you need to take on step at the time.

    He is mentally stuck in a bubble of nonsense. We have quite some people of that calibre here, I guess the general theme of the forum attracts them. I wouldn't take them too seriously.

    Even a dumbed down form of DRM is still DRM.

    Why is it a heaven sent? I only see that it unduly takes control away from the user.

    It is possible to reach a large audience of gamers without a huge marketing budget. Look at Terraria they have sold millions of games without any realmarketing budget. Every game is treated equally and gets a spot on their first page so all gets their chance.

    Forget what I said, and enjoy your crippleware DRM.

    And by the way what you said was an insult to me, which I will not forget.

    Well if you mean. For the user it has only disadvantages so I will never install it as I said.

    Also what you said does not provide the least argument why you could not also release it somewhere else than Steam.

    Btw I realize I shouldn't have said majority. That was wrong, as there are enough people here who have dutyfully installed it.

    Don't want to disturb your discussion here. Just wanted to say that f it is Steam exclusive it might as well not exist for me.

    Thanks bro, never heard of this but I'm gonna try out the beta right now. I redeemed 47WCD-G73TW-7J9JB.

    PS. Any chance you guys will release a non-Steam version on Gamersgate/Desura/GOG too? I can accept Steam as a necessary evil, but I'd much prefer to not have it if that's possible.

    Restarted game, restarted steam, restarted computer. It's stuck at Loading...

    My firewall isn't blocking anything. THe sound is still playing, and I can go in/out of the steam community so the game isnt' frozen. It just never gets to the main menu.

    I like the art style, animations and sound are good too, especially for pre-alpha. Whole thing reminds me of Borderlands though.

    Few things I noticed over my short session:
    1) No save?
    2) Characters don't want to pathfind when you right click too far
    3) In that bear cave I could shoot bears on lower level trough the cliff and loot them (don't have the screenie :<).

    I'll give it another go tomorrow and see if the patch fixes whatever issue I'm having trying to start up the game.

    Will do as soon as I get home and see it patch. I'll get back to you with details (if any) when I know whether it works or not.

    It still wouldn't progress to the main menu. Past experience says it might be trying to do an online check of some sort that comodo firewall eats, but I already set up an exception for krater, so I'm a bit baffled. I guess I'll try disabling the firewall for a few mins while the game loads and see if that fixes it tonight.

    Can you post the crash log?

    You can find it here: C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\Fatshark\KraterTest\console_logs

    The AppData folder is hidden so you might want to turn on show hidden files. Should not be any problem with your firewall.

    Will do when I get home. Although the game doesn't crash. It just hangs and never goes anywhere. the "..." after Loading continue to animate, I can enter/exit steam community and the music plays.
