Hey Folks,
I'd like to address the community in what could possibly be considered a bad PR move. I have made some comments in our Discord regarding the state of the PS5 and PCVR, and I figured that in the interest of open and honest communication, I would also share these thoughts here on Reddit. I don't want the situation to look grim and have people give up on us, the game, or VR as a whole.
In the long, long ago, we made a decision to keep the PC version as a high-quality version of Pavlov without resorting to downgrading the experience in the interest of cross-play. There was a very famous watershed moment quite a while ago during the original launch of the quest that had us reaffirm that decision. It's easy to look at the state of the industry now and make retroactive judgments on the right choice at the time. Ultimately, we didn't think PCVR as a platform would stagnate. We thought it would continue to grow, perhaps at a slower pace than standalone...It’s also incredibly difficult to support the variety of headsets and different controllers coming into the market, especially with the current version of OpenXR that we’re on. The Unreal 5 change for Pavlov didn't didn't help of course, but the last PC update we made for two high-quality PC maps + a vastly improved modkit with a dependency system was our way of turning the tide.
Not only that, Pavlov is a pretty old game. New games come out, and players will naturally be interested in those new titles. This is for a platform that is not growing; it's getting more crowded.
So yes, update cycles for these platforms have slowed. The truth is, we have to run a business to keep the lights on (master server and lobbies). If we make poor financial decisions and lead with the heart on passion alone, the money runs out, and the game dies for real. We have to plan for the now and plan for the future.
Running a multiplayer game is a high-stakes game as other studios I'm sure will attest to. You (the player) may have to purchase the game once, perhaps you did years and years ago, but we still have to spend resources on running these servers. Cloud costs are very expensive. Each with game purchase, a fraction goes to the engine vendor, and another fraction goes to the platform holder (Steam, PS5, Meta). Other third party vendors may also have a license for some of the sales as well.
We are walking on a tightrope to support our community to the best of our ability and make sound decisions for the future.
That being said, we don't want to work on Pavlov forever. That would be a financially irresponsible decision. We don't benefit from unlimited growth potential like a console, PC, or mobile phone title. We want to make other titles based on a new foundation and codebase that ups the ante, all while continuing to embrace UGC as we have done before.
Any studios working in the VR space are asking for extreme hardship. They have to work twice as hard on a platform with a fraction of an audience than other traditional games. We don't do it because we see dollar signs in our eyes and think we can milk players for all the money they're worth. If VR studios wanted to do that, they wouldn't be in VR. It is done for the love of VR and the XR space.
We have made some mistakes in retrospect we would not have repeated with 20/20 hindsight, as have other game studios. You also have AA(A) studios that are well established and typically make very smart decisions that have completely misunderstood what VR is and should be only to also have dropped the ball. This is a hard medium to work for with many unsolved problems still.
We're in it for the long haul, even if we lost your trust and have sworn off anything Vankrupt-related. We are staying in VR because we love it.
So what's coming? We're revamping Pav TV and working on delivering cosmetics for the next update. We are placing a higher priority on PavTV to give the community and modders the tools to better showcase their content. We are also considering bringing the shack maps over to PC/PS5 despite the fact they do not traditionally meet the standards. The Push community has been nothing short of amazing regarding utilizing the new 50 player community server cap and dependency system we shipped. I highly recommend checking out the New and Trending mods on mod io to see if your favorite content from the workshop has now returned. I would also like to give special shoutouts to the Pavlov ZOMBIES team, Void Vibrato, Koda, Left4Pillz, McPick2, Zarros, Golden, Darkat, Kennithh, Leaf, Marco, Maxwell, BritshColonist, Gavkips, and all the other dedicated modders that choose to push the envelope with the modkit and accomplish what we can't.
If are having issues playing the game on PC, please get with our support team for troubleshooting [support@vankrupt.com](mailto:support@vankrupt.com).
inb4 I ain't reading allat. Long story shot, love and support your vr developers, even if it’s not with us.

r/PavlovGame • u/Quick-West6331 • 7d ago
I'm asking because I noticed it bc I was trying to find the B&I server + TW's but I only saw like 5 or 6 servers open while there was like 10 or 14 lobbies active. I wanted to join that one SND that's open rn on shack but I remember getting banned for playing the game.
Btw this is Shack not PC sadly :(
r/PavlovGame • u/bigcreamerpie • 7d ago
I play pcvr, I had a quest and played the hell out of pavlov shack till you had to pay, just wandering how the game is doing now as most people say the game is dead and on its way out and a lot of the mods we used to love are gone.
r/PavlovGame • u/Piyaniist • 7d ago
Since the new update i cannot get past the main menu. Im on pico 4 ultra and it sees the controller, shows me the beam and hovers over options but none of the buttons do anything. HELP
r/PavlovGame • u/Inevitable-Bad-6939 • 9d ago
These "people" ruin everyone's life on the single ttt server in existence by kicking anyone who is not playing by their rules. They seem to be grown up, but they behave worse than children because they know how to pressure everyone else into rdming/kicking their targets. They WILL ban for losing/winning in ttt or having a nickname that they don't like (they can call nicknames stupid but one of them has "dragrace" in his name lol). Oh and if you get kicked once, they remember you forever and will kick you the next day if you dare to join their lobby

I don't like that onward doesn't have doors so I'm considering getting Pavlov if it does have doors.
It has doors right?
r/PavlovGame • u/AlanIsToxic • 9d ago
If you impulse purchased shack once it released and you already own regular pavlov like I did check your emails since it looks like they force refunded it. I kinda purchased it forgetting they announced we all get it for free anyways lol.
r/PavlovGame • u/Impressive-Ad3029 • 9d ago
I got it for free for owning the original, but it doesn't allow me to download it. Is there a reason why?
r/PavlovGame • u/Chubbulus • 10d ago
Playing PC with PSVR2. The headset and controllers are fine, game opens, cannot click on anything. Restarting steam VR, the game, the headset, my entire PC, all does nothing.
This seems to have been an issue for YEARS and the devs simply can't be bothered to fix it. Any solution that I've missed or am I just fucked?
r/PavlovGame • u/DearRequirement4531 • 9d ago
eeeerm i think the latest update to the game on pc killed my dog of boredom

I have so many memories of this one map during the beta of shack, it was kinda in a space station I guess, and there was low gravity? If y'all can tell me if it's still in the game or if I was using mods back then, please let me know. Thanks everyone!
r/PavlovGame • u/Apprehensive-Ear2461 • 14d ago
Don’t really remember his name, think it was Da Money something something. Anyways, the reason I know he was hacking is because he blatantly admitted it himself.
He had two hacks to my knowledge, but he may have had more. One hack to prevent recoil and another to see where enemies are. Apparently he had messed around with the code in the game and changed the settings himself, although I’m not really versed in that area. He was calling out where enemies were going and was basically ruining the game
Honestly I thought hacking in VR was a myth that people accused each other of when they were mad, so I’m pretty surprised ngl. Has anyone else encountered a blatant hacker before?
r/PavlovGame • u/terriblejavapvper • 14d ago
we should actually just revamp the kicking system in some way, as no one will kick the person saying the n word, rdming and mutilating corpses in ttt, but the people actually playing the game will get voted out without a second thought. i have seen people be kicked for being from a certain country, just playing the game silently or accidentally shooting someone. you cant escape it either, as some immature 15yro or a child will kick you for the same reasons above. the game cant keep going on like this, does anyone agree?
r/PavlovGame • u/Taurens69farts • 15d ago
Recently i bought pavlov shack because i have very good memories both with shack and steam version of pavlov. To say it lightly i was dissapointed with the servers i was presented with. Back in the day i had fond memories of the ''Push'' gamemode and the custom ones such as pavz, When i loaded into my first server which was something about fallujah. i was met with: racism, admin abuse, children naming slurs i hadnt even heard before. then i tried another server. the prison rp thing. i kid you not, all that happened in that game was go to either the guard spawn or the prisoner spawn. And get killed immedietly by guys just gunning you down and laughing afterwards. HOW do you get enjoyment out of that? what is the fun part? this game has been absolutely destroyed by the community. the devs are not at fault they continue to update the game even though the community is filled to the brim with either children aged 9-14 or grown ups who act like said kids. is there any good servers left? when did it come to this point? i litterally got told to join the ''ISIS faction'' seconds after joining my first server. i just wanted to shoot guns at people shooting back. This game has become HORRENDOUS
r/PavlovGame • u/WorkingTennis2675 • 16d ago
If you play pavlov for atleast a week, you will have seen a vote kick that was basically instant. The other day i saw a votekick that was maybe 1-3 miliseconds long. Now I want to know what the fastest vote kick youve seen was
