PC V3.0 Dead Hot Summer Dev Diary

So I'm really excited about the new update! All the new options, POIs, degradation mechanics - love it all. The only thing I'm slightly disappointed with is the UI for the main menu.

Please, please, please tell us that isn't the final look and the the UI overhaul is still coming. The animated background is great! But the actual UI elements? They could be... better.
 
I noticed missing items in the patch notes, such as the clock mentioned in the live stream and a new mod visible in the creative menu that hasn't been acknowledged.
 
I am curious to see what excites players the most. Who knows, maybe the POIs...😅...totally unbiased opinion of course....
Excited about all of it. Mostly about the 2 RWG tile variants for more opportunities for 100x100 commercial and industrial pois to spawn. Really want more variety of T5 poi's to spawn outside of wasteland . Thank you
 
I would assume that because RAM is shared between GPU and CPU on console, some of the graphical settings have an impact on general RAM usage as well. Maybe whoever acts as server could try to turn off some of the "innocent" graphics settings if available and check if that helps

(I am assuming the crash always happens on the server PS5)
Yes, in some cases. World size also affects the size of certain textures, so smaller world, smaller textures.

That's pretty easy to account for in a random code generator, though. It might take a little effort to work out the right limits to values for each index, but once done, you could just make the generator use only valid values. Of course, it would probably be good for TFP to just include their own random options button right in there to begin with. Some people would like that and it wouldn't be that much effort for you to add it. If you really wanted to make it interesting, you could add an ability to lock each setting so the random button only changes settings that aren't locked so that someone who doesn't want specific settings to change can still use that random button for the rest without having to go back and change those specific settings back to what they want. Of course, that's an entirely optional bonus addition to a random options button. :)
Yes, you could work out all the valid ranges or wait for Lathan to add a random button and locks as we have talked about doing that.
