Audio Issues (Windows)

We heard some of you have audio crackling on windows machines. There apparently is an issue withing the Godot Engine and there is a possible fix for it. We made a build with this fix. To test this out please open the game properties and change the beta branch to "Audiofix" and give us feedback!

Crashes & Starting Issues

Those are hard for us to track, we added an additional starting parameter on the launch option "Force GPU" which will recorded extended logs. Please start the game in this mode! If you crash or can't start in this mode, close the game and send us the log file from "%AppData%/HallsOfTorment/logs/godot.log You can send this log file to support@chasing-carrots.com with a short description what happened. If you crashed a screenshot from the crash state would be good as well, if this is possible. Any information helps us to tackle these issues. Please keep reporting issues in the forum! Thank you and stay fresh! :)
