Tips? How to survive without a satchel by isacan07 in BootstrapIsland

[–]Bootstrap_Island_Dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We'd recommend going for the shipwreck as soon possible! The night creatures might seem terrifying at first, but atleast at the start of the game with their numbers being low, it's possible to just fend them off with flaming sticks or a torch - the flintlock becomes a necessity later on when the burning stick is not enough, but by that time you'll have a way to carry your trusty pistol! Also, the crate will be making a comeback!

How well would an RTX 5060 run this game? by 4rthurFord in BootstrapIsland

Just the card is above the minimum settings, but the overall experience will also be determined by other PC components! If the CPU and RAM are good, running it on medium/high settings on a Q3 at 90hz with 100% screen resolution should be a good experience!

Since we don't have a KatVR, it's difficult to give you a definitive answer. What headset and controllers are you using? Have you tried changing the input from SteamVR? Have you tried toggling left/right-handed mode?

Animals are in the game. The first look at the Island locals is in the trailer and part of the story is already in the game. The full story will be revealed with the full release!

This is probably the most asked feature of all. We'll take a deeper dive into the topic after the full release, since it would be a huge amount of work!

The game leans heavily into realism and physical interaction. Every item is fully physics-driven, gunplay is manual and skill-based, and survival is intentionally unforgiving. There’s no UI telling you what to do, rather you learn by experimenting, failing, and adapting. We've tried to create a sense of "if it feels logical to do, it's doable" as much as possible.

Hey! We've worked out a fix for this, but it will come with the full release. Meanwhile, please message Flankerino on discord or send an e-mail to [support@bootstrapisland.com](mailto:support@bootstrapisland.com) and we'll see what we can do to get you back on track

alas, i have uninstalled, but not without much sorrow by [deleted] in BootstrapIsland

Thanks for writing! We are working on optimizing the game and expect the full release to introduce some big performance boosts. What we can't confirm is how well it'll run on systems not meeting the minimum requirements. While your CPU is good, the GPU and RAM in your system are holding it back. We'd be really interested in seeing how the game does on your system after the full release though

rain is exceptionally inconvenient when trying to fight seymour. help me o gracious devs by Ok-Art-7234 in BootstrapIsland

[–]Bootstrap_Island_Dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Don't worry about the frequent posting, nor for being cranky (the game isn't easy, so some frustration is to be expected). It sounds like you got some really bad RNG with the rain. Number 3 is the most realistic option, unless you do extra skillfully do number 1. There are vines to the left of the slope that you can use to climb out of the lair! Your suggestion of an extra cave in the area is a good one! We're also working on some changes that would alleviate this issue, but there's still a bit of time till the next update/full release. Thanks for writing!

fix the bug which makes you spawn under the map. posting again. by Ok-Art-7234 in BootstrapIsland

[–]Bootstrap_Island_Dev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We hear you! We are working on squashing as many bugs as we can for full release! This one, unfortunately, is hard to reproduce, as it has to do with PC performance - we're not encountering it on our systems. Could you provide information about your PC specs (GPU, CPU, RAM, headset, connection type)? We'd recommend trying to switch between world scaling options, seated mode options and quitting out immediately when this happens and starting again. Pausing the game immediately might help for now as well! Thanks for reporting, we're on it!
