mm??? my reply is not posted? icon was spinning again gues there's a problem again:
okay i will try again :D
Achievenments would be nice for those who cant play without them, but shouldb't the dev team fix the 'bugs' first ?
lots of gamers cant play a game they PAID for :D lets fix the game first THEN add achievements, priorities have to be made and stability and playabilty of the game should have first priority.
Anyway like i said before in other replies: the game code is pretty 'meh'
seems some silly mistakes are made when the game is installed:
i guess everyone knows this famous folder ?
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Robotality\Pathway
well it has some 'settings' that, you might have guessed it : F-ed up ( like in 99% of every game ( usually the java, unity, puthon and other "programming' langauages :D
so i decide to Google and my results led to: Steam community seems they always get support before we do
good thing i have steam account ( for cassualgames) and thats why i found the replies on the Pathway game on Steamm, they quite activily posting possible solutions and sharing experiences that where i found this file, so now i will always make sure to check C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\
there's a second file:
editor-settings
have fun editing them, and check the pathway community on Steam
settings.Json
seems poor 'Jason f-ed up again

conclusion: its a huge mess
it gets even better:
check image: whatamess.jpg
Like i expected the game is 'building' the exe : all the way to 3.2 GB
that might explain the slow startup and CPU abuse , on my quad core i5-750 2.66 ghz ( turbo: max 3.2 ghz)
seems the game prefers 3ghz , or more and doesnt favor any boosts like i5 has (i5 750 can bost to 3.2 ghz)
if the game needs this , this might explain why the CPU is >2.6 cause it needs 3 or more (bad bad bad)
Anyway, it would be nice if the devloper could add a warning that (older) quadcores with boost like i5 has might not run the game 100% smooth and the boost might be anabled during the entire game( 100% boost all the time isnt very healthy for the cpu)
Almost forgot: if the developer just provided an unpacked exe, and include the full 3.2 GB exe things would run a lot faster, as it is now the game has to 'build' it up........ also has too many screens before the game is finally loaded, maybe he can reduce that by 99%, i mean 1 splash screen is enough :D, please don't overdo it :D
