There were lots of bugs that 0.17.9 introduced sadly. I try to correct many of them quickly especially the gamebreaking ones, the versions forward corrected many of their issues. 

I'll add it to the next versions!

please go here, under Latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Version, please download your version x64 or x86. If you don't know which or one does not work, please download both. This should fix your issue.

What issue are you having with the game?

Wonderful! Enjoy!

Hiya, I've been looking around with other games that have this issue. Do you have Epic games downloaded by chance? Do you have Unreal 5 downloaded by chance? 

Here's some info I found not sure if it might help....

I'll look into dx12, don't think that should be an issue but maybe....
Verify Installation is useless, just install fresh for that.
Try some of these if you can.

Hello!
The Fatal Error is a bit difficult to determine, but usually a driver or .dll aren't working in conjunction with the game engine. Possible solutions:
Update your Unreal Engine 5.
Update your GPU driver.
Verify the installation.
Stop overclocking.
Change your default graphics card.
Repair your system files.
Disable your antivirus temporarily.
Perform a reinstalling.
Force the game to start with dx12 argument in Steam client ( -dx12 ).

Turns out my Epic Games Launcher had become corrupt, so reinstalling Epic Games Launcher did the trick! Up and running, thanks to your suggestion to upgrade Unreal Engine.

Good question, I have not graded the game yet, I would need multiple PCs from low to high so not sure what minimum specs would be. If you can run modern games, no doubt this game is runable as varying levels. The title screen has very little assets, so if thats not runnable there may be other issues.

As for resolution, no I don't think so unless, but here's a try this might work.

1) Go into the folder and find GameUserSettings.ini
DamselRace0.17.96\Windows\DamselRace\Saved\Config\Windows is where I see it for the latest version

2) Change settings to what you like in the INI and save. This should change the settings. When I set all my settings to low at the lowest resolution I have avaialbe for customization these are the settings I have, though feel free to tweak if you know what your doing. 

Hope this helps! Let me know!

the error seems to be on your end. Does the Fatal Error come with a log? Have you tried reinstalling the version your trying to use? Which version are you using?

Sorry this issue seems to be isolated, I'll try to do a bit more research.

That normally doesn't pop up, do you have Windows 10?

Your too kind! I'll be doing my best to make a game we can all enjoy ;) , thats what I settled on myself. I think if I create NPC AI for solo exerpience I can only do escape/peril so much justice before it gets bland. The players are going to be the ones that really make the game shine, just need to create the proper arena for them. 

Multiplayer is still a long ways out, need lots of time prepping the netcode since its my least experienced subject, but overall everything is slowly building up well! 

Thank you! Your alls encouragement is everything! I'm not sure what you mean by H-scene , but I will be attempting game over scenes and more perilous moments that force damsels to submit! Even if support drops I'll probably still be programming until the power goes out haha, so always look forward to more content!

there currently is a nude skin variant, but there isn't a mechanic to use yet. It will eventually be patched in. 

Not soon, I'll eventually research into a linux rrelease and see what I can do, but Mac is sadly a straight no.

It sadly does not for some, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=ms...
download your version, if that doesn't work, download both x86 and x64 versions. That has solved 100% of reports on this error so far. 

Oh almost forgot, I have a Lore story details chat in my discord, if you want any more inspirations or to see what else I've written feel free to drop there, and feel free to ask questions there as well

Oh and in addition, as for a campaign, for now no. I did initially go with that in mind, but it seems overall people are really looking forwrad to the ability to interact with other players. Be the nabbers or be the damsels in this race! And I have to agree with the popular vote, on the fact that actual players playing in these roles would be much more immersive and fun than me creating an AI, I don't think it'l do much justice for something pre-programmed and rigid. 

Feel free to write something! Overall the general premise is a far-flung future. So far that contanct among the stars has reach a mighty alliance of three galaxies. At the center of those myriad of stars there lies the greatest show broadcasted through all quantum networks. There, Damsels are gathered to race against every peril imaginable, from the minds of great tech creativies, to some staged arenas that mimic the days of old, days of fantasy and magic. The tech of this age so advanced is hard to see the difference between it and magic. As such, each arena is like a world of its own, hosting perils so real and authentic, its no wonder why everyone loves it! 

Beyond what I've casually written, RP'd and defined, I'm always happy to take extra stories, inspirations ect.

Edit: The show goes through phases of chosing genres, or chosing different areans. One moment damsels are dropped in with nano-drones and autotapers. The next they're dropped into a desert with actual mummies and servants! Or a enchanted forest, populated by a hoard of old world bandits, a lich, or perhaps a mana hungry sorceress. 

0.17.8 is LIVE and its FREE! Please take full advantage! Let me know of bugs over on the discord, and feel free to chat me up on anything you'd like! 

Sweet, just incase, there are two different itch.io pages for the Free Version and the Patreon Version.

0.17.7 is LIVE! Downloads has it placed weird due to pricing, may change later....

latest version does not use char switch due to main menu select

not currently but i will be eventually including a menu to edit the games setting

So you're clicking the EXE and nothing happens?

( Assuming I translated correctly ) The system is for Windows 10 PC . It is what is natively allowed for Unreal Engine 5

yes! Just press E and you'll get released. Then you can look at each damsel girl and release them with E as well. 

Apologies, I'm not sure what it takes to make QWERTY into AZERTY compatible. Eventually I'll include a key mapping system, perhaps that might help.

There is not, there will eventually be options once I start the first game map.

Sorry, as far as I've tested the sound functions on my end.

Awesome! Good to know. Yeah I'm not looking to do compatibility for Mac, as its just to expensive I've heard. And I've known that Linux can just use their compatibility software like Wine and Proton to get Windows Apps going.

Free versions will stay free, paid versions will stay paid. That being said I think the upcoming 0.18 will be free, and maybe in the far future another update will be free. But 0.18 may be the last free update to be released. 

Edit: I didn't think on the potential of what you said, I may in the future release older version for free, but if I do that I'll eventually only go to half the game. After that I'll include a very simple demo once the full game is released.

My PC specs are
GPU -AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT
CPU - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700K CPU @ 3.80GHz
16Gb of RAM
Windows 10 

Yes, for now the game will start on the more acceptable spectrum of kinks, then  move into more specific and nuanced kinks that may have more of a minority in popularity, these areas will be separated and can be toggled on and off if people don't want to interact with certain content.

And yes later down the line, not only will the game be coop for the damsels. But the farthest update I'm looking to make, is letting a player control the enemy minions (like the orbs).

Sorry, as stated on the main page, Unreal Engine 5 has a Windows 10 requirement.

what windows are you running?

sorry I've never heard of this problem

I might be wrong but I think thats another Microsoft Visual Error. Download this and let me know if it helps https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=ms...

Yes exactly, thank you for the response! I am in a demo state right now building the game daily.

Can't wait either! :3
