A small update that fixes most of the bugs found in 0.51 as well as added a camera sensitivity slider control to the options menu.
FAQ
Q: It keeps saying "No Opencl platform found!"A: This could mean two things. First, you graphics card doesn't have opencl support, in that case, well, sorry, the voxel generation needs opencl calculations, so please upgrade. Second, your graphics card does have opencl support but doesn't have the latest driver, in this case, update your driver. Check here for a list of all the graphics cards that support opencl: Phaseone.com
Q: I load the game fine, then it dies while loading.A: This might be an one time issue for some people, we're still not sure why it's happening, but in most cases, players were able to change the resolution settings and player when launching a second time.
Q: I can play the game fine, but as I was running around, it crashed!A: This is most likely due to a memory crash. We made sure it doesn't happen on 64bit Windows, but 32bit machine will crash if you set the game to 512m or lkm terrain.
Q: I have bugs to report!A: Goto our board here: Board.pathea.net to report any bugs. Be as precise as possible, pictures would be nice as well. And please don't tweet us bugs, use the board, thanks!
Q: I like it, now what?A: Go spread the word, I guess. We'll be up on Greenlight and Kickstarter soon, so support us there!
Q: I don't like it, now what?A: Lalalalalala. Actually if you have any complaints or suggestions, do take it up on our boards at Board.pathea.net
Is it just me? But i can't figure out the materials needed to build a fire...
A torch or a camp fire?
campfire.
Hmm, if I remember correctly, it was rocks, wood, and fat? The furry rabbit creatures give fat.
Game looks amazing, great sense of wonder and exploration. Voted for you in Greenlight! Will follow the project.
Thanks!
Oh my god... This game is amazing. Playing it right now -- All I can say is bravo on an insanely awesome alpha thus far... I will be looking at Pathea's progress on this for good. Keep up the amazing work!!!!!!!!!!!
Game was fun for 5 minutes then slowed to a halt. 8GB memory, HD6850, 6-core at 3.4ghz; shouldn't be happening. Also 95% of the game's features are vastly incomplete and/or broken, namely combat and the mind-numbing respawn system and quests. I understand this is an early alpha but at least get the important stuff working first before you release it as an alpha IMO (performance issues).
I hate to be a pessimist but I've literally not played a single game developed in Unity that has made me want to play it for more than half an hour without ripping my brain out. I am really hoping Pathea can make me believe that it's possible to develop a quality, fun gaming experience with Unity. StarForge was and remains a hilariously over-hyped failure of an alpha Unity game... please don't follow in their footsteps. I want to be able to come back here in a year or so and play a quality game.
Alpha is Alpha.
Can you describe how it slowed? Were you building? Running? Panning? Facing a NPC? There seems to be a build bug that may cause massive slow down that was just discovered, we're still looking at it.
you do realize it's still an alpha version right?

This game looks promising, and you seem to be able to translate your art or vision to a game, but unity is a strange engine to do this in.
unity at its best has the graphical capabilities of engines that existed 6 years ago, while needing a computer of this era. (quad core, 4 gig memory, ect.) this machine can run a lot of games from 2011 but i cant get a frame rate that looks better than a slideshow in planet explorers. to me it proves that unity is to blame, and actually not the developers as this happens in any game using unity.
i truly hope that this game turns out great as a sandbox building and adventure game, and that in some way it will run smoother on ever system possible.
Well, if we had $60 mil...or even $1 mil, we'd select a better engine or do our own, sure. But we don't. :)
We'll try to optimize more, especially the plants and animals, and I think we'll get some mileage out of it.
how do you actually get the downloaded file to play the game
Click download now up there and go through the link or head over to pathea.net for the torrent file.

I'm in the middle of downloading right now.
So what's the chance of having the ability to mass a horde of npcs in custom gear and vehicles and assaulting an alien town being implemented into the final product?
:D
:D
:D
Hello
I'm french so my english could be awfull
First this game looks promising so go on (vote for you in greenlight)
Reports
You have a issue in the adventure mode
right in the beggenning, she ask you to querry help but if you do so, you will lose wat look's to a tutorial.
You should créate à solid unbreakable bottom for your world (maybe lava), (I've reached the water like when I dig at the real world beach). It could help for your performance issue.
Night are boring, specially when adventure begin, when you can be one shoted by night creature (black spyder do come so close.) you should think about an option to skip (wait in oblivion)
Thank's for your hard work
You could sleep through the night on a bed...
it says i dont have the opencl platforms
What's your graphics card?
ATI mobility radeon HD 4650
Update the driver to the latest on AMD's site (v13).
Japanese. This game sounds like a lot of fun! I was allowed to download!
why does it crash when it reaches 100 percent loaded ive tried all compatibility modes and resolution and my pc is strong enough to handle it
its specs are:
fx4100 3.6 ghz quad core
16 gb ram
7850 2 gb readon
please help i really want to play it
Are you in adventure or build mode? The 512X512 maps takes a long time to load for some people, we're still fixing it. I suggest you open the game, then goto story mode or use the 256X256 maps.
it wont work in any mode i even lowered setting down to minimum and it jut crashes. its not me i even leave it and windows just crashes it and if it helps im running 7( what u mean the 512x512 i cant change that it will only stay 256x 256)
Ok, can you send your output log (found in the game's folder) to admin@pathea.net? That should tell us what's going on. In the mean time, you could try manually updating your GPU driver found on AMDs site (~v13.1).
I just downloaded it ... but it wont start to Install ... i have windows 8 but dont know how to start the installation
u need a rar extracter like winrar or winzip
I CANT DOWNLOAD IT
There's a torrent at pathea.net
i cant play the game when i pick which ever mode it goes through until loading and stops at 70% please help
You've gotta give me more detail than that, heh. PC specs(CPU, GPU, RAM)? Which mode were you playing in?
windows 7 i tried all the grahpics settings i tried windowed mode and im not sure of my specs but i can run AAA games at ultra
Then update your graphics card driver and it should work.
how
Google "how to update my graphics card driver," since I don't know which card you use.
I have no monsters in the game and part of the text. How to solve this problem?
Can you be more specific? As in you can't move? Is there terrain?
I can move, the terrain is, everything is there, except the monsters of the buildings (the shuttle, tents).
Ok, we've seen this before. Can you find the output log in your game's folder and send that to admin@pathea.net? Close the game, then start a new one through story again and see if everything' generated.
It did not help. The same problem with my friend.
Can you send us the output log then? Did you play the prior builds?
I probably can't run this (downloading alpha now) but this game NEEDS to exist, I have voted for you on Steam Greenlight and I'll follow it too. Good luck guys at Pathea games!
Thanks! Hope you find a way to play.
Straight from The Exchanger GG founder::
we are now 3 players testing the alpha to see if it is as amazing as we'v heard
for now i can only say that we support Planet Explorers and i will be buying copies of this beautifull game for the whole guild when it is released
Keep it up and much love
-Seth
Thanks! :)
There should be 'Planet Explorers_Data'
folder next to the executable
I keep getting this and can not install
Extract again, if that entire folder is missing, then something went wrong during the extraction.
