1.4 on console

[Carlosanchez]

Thanks for clearing that up

[shonik3]

Really i don t understand… What s wrong with the actual console ps4 version? Which bugs are preventing youbto play?

[Carlosanchez]

I play on Xbox and the camera stuttering gives me motion sickness whenever I try to play

If you go on like this, then the console players will remember this for the future and at least 40% of them will think about it at a new coming title, and will not buy it for now.
So, if something should be done here and now, then in the first place - put the customers all on one and the same level!
Customers who feel like customers 2nd choice, have been your customers for the longest time.
You should be aware of that, however well you may mean it.
Anyway, test your patches and release them together - for PC and the consoles.
Others can do it already fine and save themselves a lot of bad karma…

I think Xbox is the main issue. PS4 players seem to have less problems.

[diarbkiller]

I have to preorder next time because I lost out on the maps from the first one. They will hopefully iron out there issues before there next release.

My goal isn’t to turn people off to this game, its to get Warhorse and Deep Silver to consider doing something different

What would you have them do differently? It’s unfortunate that they had to relies it in it’s current state and I can understand your argument with that. Its also clear that communication could be handled better. But the majority of WH is working there buts off and deserve a little credit for that.

[Just-Me]

Same here. I’m on xbox1, if they could just fix the stutter I would still be playing this great game.

@Warhorse: your biggest, disgruntled fan

WarHorse Studio’s, and any entity financially backing WarHorse Studio’s, this may very well be what is looks like to lose future profits. The product you released has serious problems preventing a large amount of your install base from building a positive experience with it. Nearly two months later, game breaking bugs are preventing a sizeable amount of Xbox and PlayStation players from making progress. While the nature and scope of your open-world sandbox rpg is expected have bugs similar to every other attempt made by any studio in this genre, the mishandling of information regarding when the consoles are receiving updates, and the lack of transparency as to why these updates are being delayed has reached a critical level in the mind of at least one of your fans. I am now spending more time actively posting my complaints about your product than I am playing it.

While others may defend your release of Kingdom Come Deliverance with comparisons to the state of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout series upon release, I refuse to put your company on the same level. You’re the new kid on the block, and I wanted to fall in love with WarHorse like I once did with BioWare and KOTOR, Naughty Dog with Uncharted, or Bungie with Halo. I believed you when you made Kickstarter promises and forgave you when a good deal of them never materialized. I supported you vocally during the first month after launch despite being unable to complete most of the game on xbox one and 1X. I even purchased the Steam version, along with a new video card and PSU to bring my pc up to par with your graphically astounding game. I wanted to enjoy KC:D so much that I justified spending more than one thousand dollars to do so in the best possible state that I could afford.

Now, nobody forced me to spend that much, and I doubt your game will be the precipitating factor for many others to do as I have. It was my choice. I am not the victim of my own circumstance. And now its time for the big reveal to my blathering…

WARHORSE STUDIOS IS NOT A VICTIM OF THEIR OWN CIRCUMSTANCE. THEY CHOSE TO RELEASE IN THE STATE THEY DID, AND NOW ITS TIME TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE.

Its true that WarHorse ran out of funding for their game, and they were forced to decide between releasing it the way it was or potentially never at all. I am still a vocal proponent of their decision to release it. It was the right move for a studio who has their passion and commitment to the project. They’ve shown a great deal energy in releasing pactches for PCand attempting to patch the console versions, all while replying to posts in their official forum, Reddit, and Twitter. Nobody wants this game to succeed more than they do. So, instead of calling for a boycott of this game until the studio fixes their consoles version, I’m going to go the exact opposite direction.

Kingdom Come Deliverance is amazing but seriously needs our support, and by that I mean it needs anyone on the fence about this game to buy it now, regardless of the bugs. It’s become painfully obvious that Warhorse Studio’s lack of capital is a primary reason for the delay in patches still needed to fix game breaking bugs, especially on consoles. Its also possible that the studio and its investors fail to fully understand how much complaining an unhappy person does versus a satisfied one. And I am certain there are many more complex reasons why “fixing” KC:D is harder than simply hiring additional staff or keeping the complainers (like myself) quarantined. Whatever it takes, I hope the diamond in the rough that is Kingdom Come Deliverance emerges in the near future as a polished gem worthy of praise, because right now I’m more concerned about that diamond cracking in half before it really shines.

Opinions like mine can help your sales if you address them properly, hurt your future sales if you ignore them, or do nothing and anything between. I can’t say what effect this will have on WarHorse Studios, if any effect at all. I will say a good business model doesn’t make a business succeed, but bad management will almost always make a good idea fail until managed properly. I’ll end on my heaviest opinions:

1. Whoever is handling the PR for this game should either be fired or retrained, preferably the latter. (I like you Rick, but damn it took you two months to refund me when I had beta access on PC, and I’m still advocating for you to be the one to turn this around!)

2. Go take your CFO out to a nice lunch and thank them for the constant anxiety they must be under, then have an outside company audit your finances. Either the CFO needs some help or should be completely replaced. When a company doesn’t have the funds to properly support their ONE AND ONLY PRODUCT TO DATE, its time to start asking some hard questions and making tough decisions.

3. Take away Dan Vavra’s Twitter access until a patch is ACTUALLY released that doesn’t screw up your game worse than before. Tell him I won’t take his beard seriously until he starts living up to his words. I’d rather him be completely silent until something actually happens at this point. Either follow through on your words, or stop saying them, and once he’s actually followed through in the ways he said he would (a few times), then maybe, MAYBE he should start speculating about future DLC and “wish-lists”. Until then he’s more like my dreamer kid who would rather draw designs for a dump truck with wings than actually take out the trash as requested.

4. Please take this as tough criticism from a huge fan. I’m going to take a ton of shit for posting my thoughts here and elsewhere, and I’m going to continue to take a ton of shit for continuing to post until I see movement I consider positive. I am not your average player, and I have more time to pursue this than the average person, but I do speak for all your average player base. We remember how you treat us, what your say, and what you fail to live up to. We will buy many more games in our lives, and whether or not we continue buying your games directly relates to how much we receive from you. And how much we receive from you, whether chicken before the egg or not, directly affects how much we believe in you, Jesus Christ be Praised!

this is what I wanted to say…

[submarinex1]

people need to grow up. the last patch fixed the crashes I had been getting, yes there’s quest bugs but show me a game that doesn’t. ive finished game as such and started second which I’m going to wait for next patch but that’s only since I finished one play though or I would still be playing.

[Justin1]

Apparently people who play on the xbone are still experiencing fatal errors. if they can hang on until the next patch maybe they will be satisfied.

[MoemitdemFlow]

I have to agree with the majority here, please start to communicate with each other at Warhorse Studios, so you can properly communicate with your community. It’s been 2 weeks now since Easter and as a console player I’m still waiting on the Easter update, with an official of your company telling me every few days (through various media platforms) that the patch is almost here, just wait a few more days, while I sit and watch being that same patched be released (with fixes every few days) on PC. I get that it takes more time to release a patch on consoles, but come-on now! We’re at 1.43 now that’s coming “complete with all the other stuff, we promise, for real this time”. How am I supposed to believe you? My experience tells me that we’re going to have to wait probably untill 1.48 in May or something like that. Maybe you’ll even release it wit 1.5 in June? How about together with the dlc/actual ending? I’m sorry, I love your game and the idea behind it, the world and it’s characters, but I had to replay basically half of the missions just because of bugs. I can’t even properly finish the game, because the ending cutscene after the epilogue quest won’t start. Please, release the patches on all platforms simultaneously or at least communicate properly, so we know what’s up. I for one don’t plan on buying your next game for at least 3 months after release because of this mess, nor do I plan to buy any hypothetical dlc for KCD. Furthermore will I not recommend this game to my friends, (those who don’t already have the game) until you fix the serious issues there are with the game itself and the way you as a company are handling it. I’m very sorry about this since I personally love the core game and appreciate your hard work and I do whole heatedly believe that all of you at Warhorse Studios mean well and put your heart and souls into this amazing project, it’s just that I feel mistreated and lied to, which I don’t appreciate. I hope that this can change in the future and I really hope that patch gets released someday. My birthday is in July, so maybe as a birthday present?
Anyway, I just created this account to leave you guys this message and I hope you understand my intentions. Again, I’m a huge fan and I want to support you and I think feedback in any way, shape or form is the most important thing to improve, so I’m hoping for the best

[Justin1]

we will give the 1.4.3 patch to Deep Silver this week, probably tomorrow. Deep Silver will test it for 1-3 days, before they will give it to Sony & Microsoft. We expect the Patch to be available for consoles next week, hopefully before the weekend.

Communication doesn’t get any clearer than this. Have a little more patience. Its a virtue.

[diarbkiller]

I’m one of them with a fatal error and I’m holding on. I hear nothing but good things about the next updates🙂

[shonik3]

Ok now i understand! The fact is this game is so enjoying, deep, funny, and even me, if forced to leave IT on the shelf, would be so disappoibted!

[curt]

Thanks for the update Dr. I’m also very annoyed I can’t finish the game but I will reserve my anger for when you guys stop working on fixing the game and it lands in it’s final condition. Until then, you guys seem to be working hard at it, and can’t be blamed for the console certification process.

I was wondering if you’re aware of any further performance updates coming in 1.4.0-1.4.2 to fix the stuttering in late game. I’ve stated my opinion that it’s caused by too many items in the world many times, are you aware of anything pertaining to this that’s being patched in the upcoming updates? (I’m talking about things such as Halberds being dropped by guards in Rattay. I believe this is the root of the issue and I have reported it as an official bug.)

[Sterling-Archer]

I for one am glad you are leading the charge against warhorse.

I just don’t have the time in my life right now to lead a war on twitter, Facebook, snoozer, Reddit. I wish I had so little going on like that so I too could be a hero.

You read the open explanation about the patch process.

You say “Why are you holding back patches??? Whyyyyyyyy are you lying”

Did you read all the issues pc users had from that patch you are crying foul about. Jesus Christ and you are complaining that console is not getting that patch. That instead they used logic to hold it off and use the latest patch.

Come fucking on. What the hell is going on here.

[MoemitdemFlow]

I’m sorry, but not even the gaming news sites (in my country at least) know what’s up anymore. They haven’t even reported that a patch 1.43 is coming at all. So the fact I had to go from gaming news sites, to Reddit, to Twitter and finally to this forum to even get this information doesn’t really speak for good communication now does it? Also the fact I’ve got contradicting information through the various media outlets (on Twitter Daniel Vavra said console players would go directly to 1.42 for example) isn’t really an example of good and consistent communication now is it? Again, my critique comes from a good place, I want to see this company and game thrive and I think for them to better themselves we as a community have to be honest with them and ourselves.

[Justin1]

Things evolve rapidly when programmers are working overtime to patch things up. I’m sure at one point v. 1.42 was on it’s way. I’m glad they were able to deliver an even more stable build (1.43)only a few days later. If your relying on gaming news and Reddit to get updates on the latest patch then your going to be disappointed. They are under no obligation to track that for you. Your best bet is to come hear first. Though with so many posts like yours, your going to have so search for it.
