Solasta II changes
It’s now been about 24h since Solasta II launched in Early Access, and although this might seem a bit early, we want to thank you for all the feedback you’ve sent our way already. We’ve always committed to being as proactive and transparent as possible in our communication, and it’s not about to change now!
Reading through the various Steam reviews, we’ve identified a few pain points - and as with any good Early Access, we’re going to tackle them!
Character Creator
You’ve said it, we’ve seen it - the Character Creator is not working as well as we hoped it would!
First, the selection of presets is just too limited. This is something we want to address, notably by adding more presets and spending more time crafting them - truth be told, we did make the (wrong) assumption that most people would customize their character from scratch, so we did not give our presets the love they deserved.
Second, the Character Creator tool is a bit overcomplicated. You get to play around morphing different faces, which can be pretty fun but can make it fairly difficult to get the result you want. On top of that, some options might be lacking, like not having enough haircuts among others (we’re working on it!).
The third and final issue is that we don’t have enough body shapes. Even if you were to create a nice face, your gigachad 18 STR Fighter would end up with the same body shape as your sickly 8 CON Wizard. On top of that, there’s currently a bug with the male body shape’s chest being awkwardly misplaced, which we are working to fix.
So, what now? Well, we’re going to work on improving the Character Creator in order to address all of these issues. We can’t exactly tell you when these changes will come out, some may roll out in the coming weeks, others may take longer, but we’re committed to it! After all that’s also what Early Access is for, and we thank you all for your constructive feedback - keep them coming.
Crashes & Instabilities
Some of you are running into tech issues, which is very common in Early Access titles. We’re currently fixing crashes as we find them, but if you find yourself unable to play make sure you check out our Support website, especially the articles about the game not starting and Intel CPU crashes. If none of those correspond to your issues, send us a ticket through the system and let us know your config, it will help getting to the bottom of it.
We’re also rolling out a beta branch with an upcoming version which should fix quite a few additional crashes & bugs, you can try and switch to that build in case you’re having too many issues when playing or can’t start the game. Simply right click Solasta II in your Steam Library => Properties and then go to Game Versions & Betas and select the beta branch.
As always we are on this adventure together, so take a seat and tell us what you think!
