hi, i have an issue with the demo on steam. i had the graphics on cinematic for a while and it was working well (i think it's a graphics issue), and now whenever i try to play, it comes up with this error message.
Yeah Go into AppData and find the folder where the game's data is stored and then delete that, it's in either Local or LocalLow
Then simply restart the game and thank me later! This is due to a previous driver dump proberly because you're running a newer generation Nvidia 2060-3060 and they have issues with Unreal Engine 5.1
This is why i quickly updated my game to 5.3 so this woulden't happen
When I try to to extract the files, winRAR says the archive is corrupt. So i repaired the compressed zip and extracted the files again, now it says that there are files missing when I try to open the application
Would be good to add cutom config, iam an azerty user so it is hard for me to play. To change easely your confing your keybind to qwerty you can press alt+ shift but they are both keybind in the game so i accidently switched back to azerty several time.
Any plan to update this version? And preferably to make the full game available here too?
Valve has known that Steam is causing harm to some users (it's a potential trigger for several medical conditions) since 2019, and in spite of 4 years of knowledge that it's harmful, has repeatedly refused to take any steps to fix it, and behaved abusively toward affected users on numerous occasions.
At this point, even if they fix it (which I'm fairly sure they won't), it's too late to win some of us back. There are people with various other reasons to want to avoid supporting Valve as well. Making sure the game is available elsewhere is a good idea.
I'm talking about exactly what I said I was talking about. Valve has known about serious health risks being caused by the Steam client for over 4 years now, and has actively made the problem worse since it began.
There's a good number of other reasons people are moving to avoid Steam so making sure a game which already has been made available elsewhere is maintained outside of that platform (which is far from dying but is slowly losing the functional monopoly it's used to having) makes sense.
There have been at least half a dozen clearly-identified issues which started showing up in the Steam client after the "new library" update in 2019. Valve's response to complaints addressing the problems has included fixing exactly none of them, removing tools for skin creation which allowed some of them to be resolved or partly compensated for, disabled access to several existing safe workarounds without providing any alternatives, and worse.
You are still being weirdly vague about the medical conditions and how steam is triggering them, or what any of the issues actually are. Are you referring to visual impairments?
The steam demo version is extremely fun, I hope that this dark mode survives in the official release as a multiplayer mode where people randomly spawn in and try to fight each other as the waves. even if its just this mode in general without multiplayer, I've put 11 hours into the steam demo over this weekend.
I've been watching people play a game that i thought was this but the survival mode dark never ending room where you slowly work your way up to better stuff that looked genuinely fun seems to not be this game?
Is it a streamer only early access thing, steam doing their money grubbing middle man thing, or am i just missing something?
The survival mode is from the demo version on steam. The free demo version on steam is the most updated version of the game as of now and the one the devs keeps updating
Yo dev, don't look at this as a permanent feature, but it would be cool do add like a twitch integration for something like nameplates of viewers while streamers play your game.
I like how every hit the enemy lands can prove just as fatal. It really makes you feel like you are PART of the game and not just like doom guy amongst demons (Unless you are the john wick of half swording)

Insanely fun! Reminds me of a spiritual successor to the 1998 game Die by the Sword
make the full game on here please and will it be free for people who had the demo or have it on here
Really fun game, got a good few hours in!
Battles were fought. Many were loss but the war never ends! Theses type of games are goofy and fun so I did enjoy the outcomes!
Would be good to add cutom config, iam an azerty user so it is hard for me to play. To change easely your confing your keybind to qwerty you can press alt+ shift but they are both keybind in the game so i accidently switched back to azerty several time.

What the fuck are you even talking about??

Please clarify how the steam client triggers medical conditions.
There have been at least half a dozen clearly-identified issues which started showing up in the Steam client after the "new library" update in 2019.

The survival mode is from the demo version on steam. The free demo version on steam is the most updated version of the game as of now and the one the devs keeps updating
That might be Exanima
This game is so awesome!! Please update it more... Can you add back the first gamemode where it was just dark, and had waves and you had to take look.
Streamers are still playing that version i just don't know how.
its the steam demo version
When i launch it shows me this message, does anyone know why?
Does anyone know why my screen is weird like that? And or how to fix it?
The same is for me also, anyone knows how to fix that? my pc is good, other games runs very well
SOLUTION :
I have the steam demo version. I searched in the game folder but didnt find the file where i could change it
Its not in the game folder, you need to go first in appdata folder, to get there type %appdata% after pressing windows + r
and then later follow other steps what shows in the photo
Oh right, that worked. Thank you!
or just follow this video to get in appdata folder,
Is the steam demo the exact same? and will it get the same updates?
I've downloaded it but there's no option to launch, anyone know what to do?
also is there a way to adjust mouse sensitivity?
They have the game on steam much better tbh.
that moment when you have an axe in your back but still winning...
this game is absolutely amazing!!!<3
finally proper slaughter and no unneeded stuff like plot or sth!!
it takes 14 hours to download it 😭😭😭
fix your internet
i cant download this link it keeps giving error when it get to %50
very cool, reminds me of exanima.
Please do NOT listen to the posts on Steam forums. In my opinion, this update was a step in the right direction, very well done!
I'm hoping Half Sword will have multiplayer eventually! Would be amazing!
Having fatal error. (((
Yo dev, don't look at this as a permanent feature,
but it would be cool do add like a twitch integration for something like nameplates of viewers while streamers play your game.
This game is really addictive, funny and brutal. Perfect casual game!
Yoooo go to steam they have an new demo! ITS BRUTAL
thank you sm for this i've been tracking this on kickstarter for some time
I like how every hit the enemy lands can prove just as fatal. It really makes you feel like you are PART of the game and not just like doom guy amongst demons (Unless you are the john wick of half swording)
It says i dont have permission to extract it
