Sons of the Forest had an extremely successful Early Access release. However, if the developers at Endnight Games want to keep the interest in the game going, they will soon have to release an update that will fix the many glitches and bugs plaguing the game.
Yesterday, Steam Early Access saw the debut of Sons of the Forest, the long-awaited action-survival game. The game was exceptionally well received by gamers (89% upvotes out of 11,322 views on Steam), and the huge interest in the game in the first hours after its debut “shocked” even the Steam servers for a while. time.
problem list
Sons of the Forest, despite a very warm reception and incredible popularity, as befits an Early Access title, is struggling with a series of failures and problems. The list of issues plaguing the game is long..
- The game sometimes does not detect the connected controller.
- There are many problems with textures: long or non-existent loading times.
- The title has problems with the soundtrack (total absence or its “jump”).
- The loading screen stutters or freezes completely.
- General stuttering, lags and freezing.
- Problems maintaining a stable frame rate, severe fps drops.
- Absurd visual errors.
- Problems with water physics.
- Lack of keyboard shortcuts.
Luckily, some of the problems mentioned above can be circumvented quite easily. Helpful in this regard are the threads (single and multiplayer) on the Steam forum, where players report known bugs and suggest solutions. This is also where, in turn, users share their thoughts and ideas, including changes, new features, and content.
We’ll have to wait for the rest of the patches until the developer releases the first major update. It will happen in 13 days. Meanwhile, the studio has released the first patch, which removes two minor issues.
funny animals
In addition to annoying bugs and glitches, there are, as usual, some funny cases in the game. Some of them not only look silly, but can affect gameplay.
A mine of these issues, as usual, is the game’s subreddit, where community users share nonsense they’ve encountered while playing Sons of the Forest.
As an example, let’s take here a post from the user OrangePanini50, who, by accident of course, decided to descend at lightning speed from the top of a mountain. By accelerating, the player traveled hundreds of meters deep in seconds, without injury.
However, the absolute fan favorite among Sons of the Forest players when it comes to various graphical issues is water, or more specifically, its physics. The moment an object falls, like a tree, it is instantly “spit up” by the water, like a volcano erupting with lava. Just look.
Of course, we will find many other fun gadgets in the game. However, it should be borne in mind that the game has only just debuted in early access: the path to the full version will be long and probably littered many fixes and fixes.
