Hi,

I recently downloaded the demo, and it started up fine. However, when when i stand up and begin pumping the wave, the game always crashes. Any help?

Thanks

Hi Jrocket420a,

Thanks for the email, sorry you're having problems. We'll need to try and narrow this down. What kind of specs do you have and if possible, if you can let us know what happens (as specifically as you can - for example, does it happen consistently) then we can try and figure out what's going and try and help you.

Sure thing, sorry for the late reply.

I'm using an ASUS G73SW Laptop with Windows 7:
Intel Core i7-2639QM @ 2.00GHz
64-bit OS
8.00 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M graphics card

Any other spec specifics you're interested in?

The original problem was very consistent. IT seemed to me everything worked fine until the actual surfing. Even then, paddling out everything was fine. After catch the wave it'd seemed to be ok until the camera panned into the lip and tried displaying all the white caps and foam. It would then crash. However, i don't remember what i did, but i somehow got it to work fine. And i've been playing it the past couple of days no problem (hence the late reply). But now something very similar has come up after installing this most recent update. Now the graphics are very shifty, not smooth at all, and it allows me to actually surf. But its completely different, and looks very different. The controls also feel different than before. I still think it has something to do with the graphics but i could be wrong.

Hi jrocket420a,

Thanks for the response. Okay - good that it settled down eventually. With the recent update you've got (v2.0), the team at Desura are yet to approve the new demo installer. It looks a lot different because we've done a lot of new work. This version you have might be buggy because they haven't actually released the demo installer yet. We've emailed support, so if you can wait 24hours and try to download again once the latest installer has been approved then we'll give it another go and see what happens.

Hey Bungarra team,

Congratulations on releasing The Surfer. I have some idea how much work you guys have put into it.

I've been trying out the demo (v2.1) and I think I'm hitting the same crash that jrocket420a was. It seems to happen every single time I hit the lip without jumping first. Hope that helps narrow it down.

Cheers,
Aranda

Hi Aranda,

Nice to hear from you. Haven't had this bug re-appear, will look into it.
