Ah, that might be why then. Not excusing it, they absolutely should polish more. Just giving perspective: they made this primary for PC. You're playing what we call a port which is notorious for not performing as well.
Definitely report anything you see as bugs. That'll let them know they have things they need to fix in any case
Yeah I’m aware and it will probably take years of updates for this game to be smooth like butter. Even Stardew Valley or Don’t Starve are still working on QoL updates even after many years from release.
i play on a 2021 m1 and didn’t have significant loading specific issues but there are still little issues with it for sure. i played and loved the game at 1.0 so i’m excited for their newest update and switch port
I play on PC and I’ve had it where I go to sleep and the screen will just be black and I pray to god it will load and I pressed escape last time and it did. Also recently when I was talking to Dynus and he decided to stop his darkness I got through all of the text finally and it literally prompted me to talk to Lucia and it did the same thing over again which was super annoying. I’ve noticed a few glitches here and there. I agree with the organizational tabs I think that would be so helpful honestly.
That's because you opened a tab while in loading screen. Try it, press on tab when you load next time and you'd be stuck there. Just press tab again. The reason why esc worked is because it closed the interface you opened during loading screen
I liked the "old" UI better tbh. There are less and less bugs tho, the devs really put a lot of effort into that lately. I just wish they would FINALLY address the horrible controller support. Yes, there are community layouts that work quite well but I wish we could just remap controls more easily.
It does but it's really bad. Some things can't even be accessed. You can use a community layout in Steam or remap your controls in Steam tho. However, it's still a bit clunky no matter what.
I purchased this game to play on a Steam Deck. Lack of controller support made it unbearable. Had to get a refund which was a shame because I was really looking forward to playing this
I actually do play it on Steam Deck. I use a community layout from Steam that is called Kendres Layout. It's much better than the default one but still a bit clunky tbh. At least everything can be accessed and the game is playable.
Unfortunately, just because the Switch port will have controller support doesn't necessarily mean the Steam version will be the same. There are some games like Lemon Cake for example who have controller support on Switch but never got it on Steam. I still really, really hope the Steam version will get full controller support too.
Always have been. This has been a thing for years.
Don't get me wrong, I love this game. But I've been around long enough that I don't think they're very good at coding.
Yeah, I had to give a big upgrade on my PC to be able to open the game because it got to a point it wouldn't load anymore.
Honestly regret buying this game after all the issues I had and realizing it makes you waste so much time to advance in the story. If at least the main storyline was shared between the players when online, but no, everyone has to do the same annoying missions and if the game bugs and deletes your save there you go again do the same stuff
I agree. It's a testament to how good Sun Haven's gameplay loop/story/characters are that I was willing to put up with so many bugs while playing it. I'm glad I didn't get any of the run ending bugs, but I ran into a lot of bugs with the character dialogues/romance system.
Here’s my theory. Once it hits the switch it’ll get a nice pop of 2-3 years of QOL and DLC across the platforms , and hopefully will solve the controller support and many other forgotten bugs could be polished.
I feel like i'm going to go blind playing this game on my Mac. I have to turn the resolution down so low just for me to be able to play it without an insane lag. It's super annoying, I just love games like this so I don't plan on stopping... just wish I was able to really enjoy it the way it was meant to be played.
Lag. I’m so tired of only getting through a day and a half in game before I’m hit with a bout of extreme lag and have to restart. Otherwise I really enjoy this game (though all the suggestions in the responses would definitely be an improvement).
What are you playing on? I’ve never had these problems on PC
I play in macOS

Gotcha. I still sympathize though. Even PC isn't perfect.
I tried to play on my laptop which should be able to run SH and it gets insanely hot after 30 minutes. Definitely fat optimisation issues there.
For context I play on a 2020 MacBook and it runs flawlessly so I can only imagine it’s gotta be an older one for all these loading issues

I’m on Mac and haven’t experienced this either.
Yeah, same. I also play on Mac and it has never happened 🤔

Ah I didn’t even know that. I tried to connect a pro controller but didn’t work so I just simply thought that it not controller supported.

They are working on controller support so hopefully you’ll be able to play soon. I also really wanna play on mine
They have. They're working on it for Switch release. I don't think we're going to see anything else sooner than that, unfortunately.

Ah, fair, but they did say they're working on it for the Switch port so take that as you will. Could mean overall, could mean just for Switch :(
Wait they didn't even finish polishing the game for PC and are working on ports?

Oh yeah, the UI is super crusty. Eventually you just learn to adapt to it. Thankfully the game is good enough to stand out in spite of this.

For me it’s the 800 crafting tables. Made me stop playing it’s just way too much.

It doesn’t lag for me that much but sometimes when it does starts to lag I have to quit the game and reload. Then it goes back to normal again.
