Shadow Facade’s update announcement confirms a fix for optional WASD movement and the introduction of a Light Mode launch option to address performance issues. The announcement says Light Mode will slightly reduce texture quality as the game runs, which may help lower-end devices. It also says that reduction will only be slightly noticeable in extreme close-ups.
Performance Settings
Players looking for other performance adjustments can open the inventory and click the cog icon to reach the settings. The suggested changes include lowering Render Scale to 0.75 to increase rendering speed. Another recommendation is to change vSync Method to B, which updates the game every other monitor refresh, or try the 30 FPS mode.
Crash Reports and a Lightweight Alternative
For crashes, the developer asks for posts explaining how the problem happens so it can be reproduced, with startup crashes potentially requiring additional troubleshooting. The developer says the game’s log file may help pinpoint those issues. The requested file is Player.log, stored in the same directory as the game’s save files. To capture the problem, the instructions are to run the game, trigger the crash and then upload the file to a free service that requires no signup.
If the game still will not work, the developer recommends seeking a refund and trying the free, lightweight version available on their itch.io site. That version is described as the same game with limited resolution and much less texture data. The developer also offers support on the game’s forums there for players who would rather not post in the Steam community, asking them to mention that their issue concerns the Steam version.
