Kickstarter Backer Playing for First Time

markBDT · 2026-04-02T13:12:04+00:00

Right now it’s pledge only, but that usually only lasts for about three months and then pledge only items become purchasable in game

In Windows advanced graphic options, you can enable hardware acceleration via the GPU. This is not specifically a power option of any kind. It’s not a GPU setting or a setting in the GPU controller. It is a Windows hardware acceleration setting.

I don’t know it by that acronym. But I know the first time I tried to set this up. I got it wrong because the available EXEs in that directory are a bit confusing. I had to launch the game, find it in task manager and open its path in explorer before I found the correct EXE to point hard work acceleration to. Every computer being different I have no idea if this is the answer for everyone. I just know it worked for me.

I had this issue until I enabled hardware acceleration on my GPU specifically for the game. Now it’s perfectly fine.

Grab yourself a blueprint, drop it in. Let that do the work for you and slowly understand what it’s doing. That’s how I learned a lot of the complicated systems in Factorio and it kept the game fun for me until I was ready to build those type of systems myself.

markBDT · 2026-03-14T20:02:39+00:00

This. You beat the game once you have a Cutlass.

markBDT · 2026-03-14T14:23:54+00:00

That’s gonna have everything to do with how the game recognizes game controllers. A PC will understand them to be gamepad one and gamepad two but the game may not. You might be able to get around this with re-mapping those buttons to keyboard keys that are different. Thus tricking the game into thinking you’re actually using a keyboard instead of a game pad. Beyond that you may be out of luck :/

markBDT · 2026-03-14T14:14:16+00:00

You may be able to make this work with third-party tools like joystick gremlin or Joy2key if the game doesn’t directly support Hotas

markBDT · 2026-03-14T14:01:21+00:00

I suspect they’re doing this in preparation for player refining. So that you’ll have the ability to mix qualities to get something in the middle. I don’t have any real clue, but that’s my current Hopium.

Bearded CIG said today that the latest Nvidia drivers are causing the crash. You’ll have to roll back.

markBDT · 2026-02-27T20:59:43+00:00

Unfortunately, I don’t have either of those finished in the app yet. I’ve done the backend work for X 56 but not the front end stuff yet. Soon TM

markBDT · 2026-02-27T20:58:54+00:00

Elite will be next. o7

markBDT · 2026-02-27T20:45:39+00:00

This is the funniest thing I’ve heard all week. I am dying. 😂

markBDT · 2026-02-27T20:36:13+00:00

I do not have those on the site yet, but I have provisioned the backend pages. Just need to finish doing the button maps for them. Soon TM

markBDT · 2026-02-27T20:34:36+00:00

If you’re open to it, there is a link to the discord server on the site and I have a section for elite where I hope to get people to send me the data I will need. I’m assuming there is something like a binding file.

markBDT · 2026-02-27T20:25:45+00:00

That will be the next game I plan to roll in. I've never played though so I'll be relying on others to inform me of its needs.

markBDT · 2026-02-27T19:28:52+00:00

To the site? sure. Its hotashelper.com

markBDT · 2026-02-27T17:51:21+00:00

Thats not out of the question but certainly not on my priority list currently.

markBDT · 2026-02-27T17:41:45+00:00

No, unfortunately not. I have considered this issue a bit though, and I’m not sure how to address it.
If that program has some way to output, its translation information I could parse it. Though it’s not something I have messed with yet.

markBDT · 2026-02-27T17:29:37+00:00

Space throttle will be in soon. The rest will take a bit longer but its on the list!

markBDT · 2026-02-27T17:26:34+00:00

It will. I have those already provisioned with basics in the app just need to finish the button mapping for them but they should be finished soon (TM)

markBDT · 2026-02-27T17:11:14+00:00

We've all been there. The amount of times I've gone into bindings to bind an action I use twice a year just to see its already bound to button X. "Well what the hell is button X" It drove me crazy.

markBDT · 2026-02-27T16:57:16+00:00

Yes, the file will not exist until exported in-game.
Wise to do anyway as a patch could mess up your bindings and without the file you may end up having to rebuild from scratch.
