This includes Adol's Adventure Essentials DLC, Digital Mini Art Book, Digital Soundtrack Sampler and Laxia's "Eternian Scholar" Costume. Today we pushed a new version to the “Preview” build. You can access the preview branch by taking the following steps: 1) From your Steam Library, right click on Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA and select “Properties” 2) Go to the “BETAS” tab 3) Select the "preview" beta from the dropdown menu. This should start installing the beta version of Ys VIII (no password required) When it is determined that these fixes are stable, they will be pushed to the default branch. This newest Preview build addresses the following:

Change Ally Behavior functionality that has been assigned a key by default on keyboards
Fixed a display bug that occurred when skipping the Shared Consciousness tutorial
General text fixes

We are still investigating the internal rendering resolution issues discussed in last week’s reports. We are also close to a fix for the flickering issues found in the Eroded Valley and Towering Coral Forest and believe that it should be ready in tomorrow’s update. Remaining Known Issues & Roadmap: -Slight flickering in light in Eroded Valley & Towering Coral Forest (Fixed, pending patch) -Crashes relating to Threading -Internal Rendering Resolution configuration -Irregular shadows -Text errors -Using Stun Gong in Intercept Battles causes conversation to scroll unusually fast Thank you for your support!

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA Day 2 Report & Known Issues

NISAAlexsteam_community_announcements

3029d ago

Hello everyone, We would like to announce that we’ve rolled out a new update for Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA. This update is intended to solve some major issues we encountered at launch. Our latest controller patch has resolved many of the crashes that occur on launch. If this is still occurring, we highly suggest updating your graphics card drivers to their latest versions. We have discovered another issue with a temporary fix regarding the screen resolution and resizing. If you have resized the window in windowed mode and then selected full screen, the game will be attempt to force the current resolution in full screen. If you run the game in windowed mode, then resized and quit the game, you will need to delete the settings.ini file located inside your game folder to restore resolution settings to default. This is a temporary solution that we intend to solve in our next patch, at our highest priority. If you are encountering audio issues (skipping, interrupted looping), we recommend checking on if there is a conflict between multiple sound devices on your system. Try disconnecting all sound devices except the desired output and seeing if this resolves the issue (thanks to MicahDS for the tip). We are currently investigating all reports coming into our Troubleshooting Forum, so please continue to report any and all issues you are encountering. We kindly request that you include additional relevant information, such as the steps, to reproduce and your system specs. Issues reolved as of 4/17/18: -VSync has been enabled -Fixed a bug that was causing FPS drop when controller was unplugged or improperly set up -Improved Bluetooth controller functionality -Misc. French UI/text issues Remaining Known Issues: -Window Resize Issue (above) -Audio Skipping Issues (Please refer to the above temporary audio solution) -Slight flickering in light in Eroded Valley & Towering Coral Forest -Irregular shadows -Text errors -Controller Issues (Detection, Joystick Input) -Using Stun Gong in Intercept Battles causes conversation to scroll unusually fast Roadmap/Order we plan on fixing: -Window Resize Issue -Controller Issues (Detection, Joystick Input) -Audio Issues -Fix flickering in Eroded Valley & Towering Coral Forest -Fix irregular shadows -Remaining issues noted above Thank you for your continued support, including your use of the Troubleshooting Forum, as we continue to track down and eliminate these bugs. -NISA Staff

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA Further Delay Announcement

NIS Americasteam_community_announcements

3117d ago

To all of you who have been anxiously awaiting the PC release of Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA, we have a very regrettable announcement: we are once again pushing the release to an as-of-yet indeterminate date. We sincerely apologize for this delay, and we would like to explain in detail the reason why we are proceeding with the delay. This decision was not made lightly, and we understand that many of you will be upset about this news. For that, and most importantly, for the delay, we are very sorry. Please note, however, that this announcement does not affect the relocalization update patch planned for January 30th for the PlayStation®4 and PlayStation Vita versions of the game. Low framerate issues and memory leak problems were apparent from the earliest PC builds we received. To help combat these, we looked into the drawing processes, which lead to an overall improvement in performance. However, we are still encountering framerate drops in specific circumstances. The systems regulating these framerate issues are heavily reliant on the architecture of the original PlayStation 4 version and, as such, are not existent in PC architecture. The memory leak issues are somewhat less complicated and expected to be resolved this weekend. But in order to solve these issues, we have determined that we must modify the core level of data in the game. As the PC version of the game was originally envisioned as a port, we avoided touching the core programming as much as possible and focused on PC performance optimization. However, in light of the feedback of those who have participated in the second beta test, we have concluded that we cannot avoid modifying the core programming. Once the changes from the relocalization efforts have been implemented at the end of this month, we will be moving development to an entirely different developer who will primarily focus on frame rate improvements as well as other PC optimizations. Once that process begins, we will monitor the progress and determine the release schedule. We will also be sure to give regular updates to our progress. Again, we truly regret that we underestimated the severity of the issues that have surfaced (and how long it would take to resolve them), and for that, NIS America sincerely apologizes to all of you for this unexpected delay. We are fully aware of how much our fans have been anticipating this release, and will do our very best to launch the game the way it is meant to be launched: without any issues, game-breaking bugs, or errors. If you have made a pre-purchase on Steam and would like a refund due to this delay, please use the link provided below: http://b it.ly/YsVIIIPC_refundprocess (remove the space on the hyperlink). For any purchases or pre-orders made outside of the Steam channel, please contact the corresponding refund support for that channel. Thank you very much for your understanding, support, and patience through this time. -VP and COO, Mitsuharu Hiraoka

PC Version Release Update and Progress Report

NISAAlexsteam_community_announcements

3218d ago

Note: This information can also be found in the forum post linked here. Please check the forums for the most updated information. It has been a while since our initial September 12th announcement, and we apologize for the delay in communication and would like to issue an update on progress for Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA on PC. We were taking our time to be absolutely sure we were delivering the most accurate and up-to-date information to you. Since we last made an announcement, we have been working tirelessly on improvements and bug fixes. We considered the overall issues, obstacles that arose during debug, and the maximum resources we have to address them and concluded that it will take another two months for the Steam release to meet the expectations we set for ourselves and guarantee the quality that every Ys fan has come to expect. In addition, we will use this time to apply the updated localization to the game. This means that we plan to release the PC version around mid-December. We were unfortunately unable to deliver a simultaneous release with the Steam and console versions and apologize for our delayed postponement announcement. We deeply and earnestly apologize for not upholding the promise of the original Steam release and not notifying the community about the delays sooner. Despite our missteps, we remain committed to delivering the best possible quality experience. With that in mind, here are some details about what exactly we’ve been working on. After we delayed the release of Ys VIII on Steam, we reached out to Peter "Durante" Thoman for his expertise, and we are happy to report that he could share some of his hours with our developers these past few weeks. We asked Durante for his help with the following for this title: GPU performance improvements, CPU performance improvements, and developing a system for improving and regulating framerate. We also received feedback from Durante about a shadow rendering issue that we are looking into. The above work has resulted in significant improvements in performance. However, due to the fact that we are receiving such an overwhelming number of system issues from both our internal QA Team and our Beta testers, these issues will take considerable time to repair. As previously stated in our last announcement, fixes in one area can lead to something breaking in another, so we have to be methodical in our application of fixes and improvements. In addition to improvements in the game’s system, we are also updating, fixing, and improving the game text across the Japanese, English, and French versions. This also requires a significant amount of time, due to the size of the game and our commitment to localizing the text to both English and French. After assessing all of these factors, we concluded that approximately two more months of development time is needed to reach the level of quality we and the fans want. We thank you for your constant feedback and again apologize for the inconsistent communication. If you have made a pre-purchase on Steam and would like to get a refund, please use this link for information on how to refund a product on Steam. For any purchases or pre-orders made outside of the Steam platform, please contact the corresponding refund support for that platform. We sincerely apologize for these delays and we humbly request your patience. Best, NISA Team
