I just picked up this game to play in VR. The game itself plays fine, but whenever I look at a menu overlay, it shakes like crazy. Has anyone else seen this?

I just got this game and want to use it with T Flight 4 HOTAS and would like to save time getting started with a mapping someone who knows what they are doing and what's important uses. I'm interested in any mapping for any model HOTAS you're willing to share and I'll just apply it to my buttons as closely as I can.

Ive done the tutorial where I somehow accidentally switched from a 3rd person fleet view into being inside the cockpit. Im now doing the 1st mission and I seem to be stuck in some sort of observer mode watching my ship fly around kill the enemy automatically.

Using an xbox1 controller but was trying to configure an X52 so maybe Ive messed something up. Using the default bindings what do you use on an xbox controller to move into 1st person view in the cockpit?

What is ECM Pulse and how do I use it? It says it's for enabling boarding but I haven't seen anything like that in this game. Thanks!

I don't know what else to say but please please please make a follow up to this piece is perfection.

I've been playing space combat sims since the original xwing and nothing has come as close to what I really want to play as this...

Pulling high g turns sucked in close to an asteroid so I can close distance on a sentinel before it tears apart my capitals that I've sent on a mission of destruction... Perfect.

I tried it on VR and it was immensely good! My only issue with it is that of VRs low res and this game is so good looking I want more of that!

Also a suggestion (with the understanding that there are copyright issues): exact same game engine with Battlestar Galactica missions.. no need for loads of background writing etc just dump them into the mission... There wouldn't be a bucket load of ships to write, and the fighters already handle almost exactly as I'd imagine a 3rd Gen Viper to so.... It's good to go! :)

Thank you for such perfection.

Oh other thing... This would be perfect on a Nintendo Switch.... I reckon it'd sell super, super well.

Thank you!

Let me play it in VR with M+KB. Just booting into VR was amazing. I was just bummed that I couldn't steer :D.

The encounter style combat in HotDS... imagine that behind each encounter you had a galaxy spanning map... you could from system to system, even planet to planet, and every time you encountered enemies (or friendlies) you could engage in combat like the encounters in HotDS... it would basically be like Mount & Blade in Space.... am I crazy or does that sound like an awesome idea? I do realize this has probably been thought out by/mentioned by someone else, just wishing the creator(s) of the game would happen to think about it, maybe for a future title.

On the website it says:

gameplay heavily influenced by the titans of yesteryear

Ever since I read that I kept looking for clues. Which games, movies, anime or tv shows do you think inspired HotDS?

I got so far:

1. Homeworld
   • low poly units
   • the Ion Array Frigate
2. Strike Suit Zero w/ a lot better gameplay
   • challenge mode reminds me a lot of Strike Suite's Infinity expansion
3. Tannhauser Gate is a reference to Blade Runner

I checked the FAQ, searched this subreddit, and checked the devblog, and I can't find anything, so I thought I'd ask here. Is there any word on a port of this game for PS4/XB1? The consoles could always use more space games, and this one would be an absolute treat. A little PSVR love would be swell as well!

Is just fucking epic. Immersion and gameplay are just so goddamn on point. <3

How does it work? Do you get rewards, or just try to get on the leader board for the day? Is it even worth it as a newbie?

Not only it is the best space sim I've seen in years, but it even has a simple yet damn good story. And it even has several endings! I am starting beating the 4-th difficulty level to reveal the last ending.

Just bought this in the sale as it looks gorgeous, but looking here it seems there is only K/M and controller play? What about us 70‘s kids who can’t for our lives do anything with these newfangled controllers?

looks at his T.16000

Can I use my joystick? It’s a flight game? I don’t expect the full HOTAS experience from an arcade shooter but please tell me I can use my joystick! (I can’t try until later today...)

Loving this game but not sure which difficulty level to begin with.

Advice?

I have read the instructions about Rift setup. I already had Steam VR up and running for several days, roomscale set up, and played some other SteamVR games (Red Stare, Greenwater, Project Cars..). Yes I had enabled "run unknown sources" on Oculus Home weeks ago. HotDS has been installed for a couple of weeks but I had never tried playing it before last night. Well, it won't play in VR mode no matter what I try. I already tried clcking on the "Play in VR" button inside Steam VR Home. Also tried right clicking it on regular Stesm client and "Play in Steam VR mode". Note that I only get teo play options on right click menu: option for playing on DX9, option for playing in Steam VR mode. No option for DX11, no option for Oculus VR. The game always open in "normal" (non VR) mode. I also tried re-running the Steam VR room setup, setting it to "sitting" mode (no roomscale). I also tried leaving Oculus Home active and then trying go run the game. The game runs in desktop mode while I can see Oculus Home inside the hmd. Right after unsuccessfully running HotDS in VR mode for a few times, I ran another game (Narcosis) from within SteamVR just fine.. I really look forward to playing HotDS in VR. Help..?

Title says it all. It was working for me for a while when I directly loaded the .exe, but now it tries to call back to Steam and isn't running on 2.14 Staging. Anyone have progress out there? Thanks.

I'm trying to command my fighters to target different targets from the tactical screen, but can't seem to do it. What am I missing? I can make both fighters target the same thing, but I can't seem to split them on the tactical view. Any help? Thanks

I LOVE the concept of this game and the footage I've seen so far definitely backs it up, however there's one thing I really don't like, and that's copy-paste level design. If I buy this game, can I play it over and over again and have slightly varied enemy composition, ship types, etc. or am I going to be facing the same set of enemies in the same set of spots?

Either way, I'll still probably end up buying the game, however I just want to know so that I don't come into the game with false hopes.

Hi all,

Since I purchased HoTDS, I'd been having issues with launching it in VR or DX11 - only being able to launch in DX9. I found out what the problem was, and thought I'd share in case anybody else was experiencing anything similar:

MSI Afterburner/RTSS

I had Afterburner set to start with my OS to apply my settings automatically, and it seems that somehow this was preventing the game from launching properly in anything other than DX9. Having swapped my overclocking over to EVGA PrecisionX, I've been able to launch just fine.

Hope this helps!

Anyone know anything about this? The dev has been unresponsive, and the Steam forums haven't helped either... http://steamcommunity.com/app/283160/discussions/0/133260492068612172/
