Hello, everyone. New credits has been released and each one of us is listed in there.
This is the first time I've watched a game's credits so often.
Thank you, JAW, It is my honor of helping you.

Hello, everyone, JAW has sent us email to inform us they are going to add our names in credit, please reply to it.

I'm also disapointed with the way this beta was run. The lack of communication about what was going on. I was under the impression we would be more involved with the testing. JAW didn't even bother to let us know the game was released and that the beta was over. Then lied to about having our names in the credits. Which I doubt will happen because we did so little. The game still runs badly for a lot of people.

This is Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee New n' Tasty pre-Alpha footage in case you don't know it.

I read in the Steam Forums from one of the JAW members, that they need to render again the credits video in order to add the names of the beta testers, but I really don't know if this is gonna happen or not, I don't think that they will add the names of the beta testers as they promised... anyways thank you for the opportunity to be part of this proyect and part of this great game! :D

Poor information. The promise to be in the credits cancelled. Not much to test. I am a "little" dissapointed. Anyway, good to have the full game.

But I also wish we could join Abe’s Oddysee HD beta testing, and Munch's.

That is STRANGER STYLE.
Deal with it.

SWHD has been released [www.oddworld.com] and yes, we're not in the credit, beta testing was also over automatically.
I was as shocked as you were.

Also just want to add, we're not in the credits as promised if its fully released O.o

Some people have stated that the HD update has already been released? surely its not if we're still testing?

Is there anyone who still cannot run the game?

D-pad for Xbox 360 controller (I have a wired one) does not work, but plugged a Logitch Rumble Pad 2, and the D-pad works without any problem, please, fix this problem with the 360 controller.. thank you

The New update is 1.7GB, new level is included and new speech included(French,German), GPU Vsync option( I don't know what it means yet), D-pad problem is still there but you can use it by modifying config file.

I am getting a black screen, and then i am forced to do a hard reboot. It happens shortly into the tutorial where it says "If you can see the bottom, then falling will not kill stranger".

During the closed beta that would only happen if i had AA turned on, but since i don't have AA turned on i have no idea what could be causing it.

To Doctor Hades,no, I don't have this problem, I'm playing new update right now.
And yes, I didn't receive new email notice, too.

The game updated itself today - 1.3 GB in size - so I thought the Xbox 360 D-pad ammo glitch had been fixed. When I checked it had reverted back to the original game... again. This has happened twice now and the password I was given is no longer accepted either. I have not received any emails at all since the beta started despite submitted two bug reports.

Has the beta ended?

If not then why have I not received the new password? I presume the old one expired and that's why the game reverted to the original though I wish it would have given me the opportunity to obtain the new key first and remained in unplayable HD state rather than wasting part of my monthly usage cap downloading the old data then having to download the new data again.

@ Buck_60: your right. The game should recognize the 360-controller and show the common names like A-Button and so on. Joy 1 sounds stupid ^^

The new button prompts don't make any sense. I'm using a 360 controller and I'm being told to press Joy1, Joy2, Joy3 etc etc. It was better the wat it was.

Just to add so was Munch and it runs pretty good

Sent ,Sorry it took so long

@ edleonard, could you please email your issues to info@jawltd.com along with the log file.

Also remember that this is still a 2005 engine created to be Xbox-exclusive. It is fundamentally and irrevocably going to be less optimized for PC than modern PC games.

@ SG.Sup, thx for the youtube link. I have the same glitch with nVidia 560Ti.

Just to add hooked up my xbox 360 wireless controller and it seems to be working fine no D pad issues

Recorded it. I made it private so only people with this link can go to it.

I am using a GTX 550 TI

Tried it out, the lighting is pretty glitchy on characters. I'll try to take a quick recording and post it here.

@ Buncible: thx for the answer about the languages. Im happy, that we will see it in the final release.

Any other game would play better if i played in a box or turned the resolution down. I get not one bit more performance increase.There are some instances that the game starts playing like it should but they are far between.Its a shame because i can play Skyrim,Batman Arkham City and Borderlands at a decent and playable framerate.I would think that my old xbox specs are a far pitence to my ♥♥♥♥♥♥ laptop with 6 gb ram.I thought the xbox stood for directX box.How did the game run so much better on a far inferior hardware?

I am reporting that i got the game to work.I could not find the 'dontuseinstancerender' in my config file. I even deleted my game and those files and reinstalled still no dice so i just added it to my config file and the game stopped crashing.verticle vegitation gone. Settings are vsync on anistroptic on ,full screen on and no AA.Dual Core Intel with Intel HD Graphics. My big concern is that no matter what i do in my settings resolution AA on 4X, vsinc off ect... The game seems like it just chugs olong at a terrible framerate.

Sorry to hear some people are still experiencing black screens. Make sure you're running the latest drivers (you must have OpenGL 2.0 or greater) and if the problem persists, send your report and log file to the usual email address.

I made a mistake: the languages included in the beta are text-only to keep the filesize small. The French and German audio will be included in the full release.

first loading screen is not glitchy. After that, black screen but the menu sounds are all there

Although i switched the language option to german in the config-screen, i still have only the english speech; did i oversee something?

Updated, still black screens.

Came to report the same things as Doctor Hades (poor-ish performance and d--pad not working for ammo selection). Also, wondering if the previously announced switch to a Direct X renderer isn't going to happen.

One of my biggest wish has come true: the german language from the 2005 original will be back ... i realy say thank you very much for that!!!

Finally, the audio volume seems to be all over the place, sometimes sounding loud and clear in the stores and muffled and quiet elsewhere, not helped by the fact that the dialogue in the town is not subtitled despite me having the option enabled.

Great game and the HD makeover looks fab but still a little buggy unfortunately.

Performance is absolutely dire with 8x AA on my setup (Core i7-920 @ 3.8 GHz, 12 GB, GTX 680 SLI, Windows 7 SP1) with constant drops straight from 60 fps down to 30 fps even though I have a profile setup for the game with the v306.02 drivers I'm using and have triple buffering (OpenGL only) enabled. Performance seems fine with 4x AA though, maintaining 60 fps more fluently but surely 8x AA should run fine too considering my specs? No?

Also, I'm playing with the wired Xbox 360 controller and have that option selected in the launcher options but I cannot change the ammo in the game as the D-pad directions are not recognised at all. I have to use the cursor keys on the keyboard to switch ammo which obviously isn't ideal.

Finally something new *sigh* - i feared, the project was cancelled.

If you get stuck in the ground, try turn on VSync to see if it helps.

On my PC, the game works pretty well, besides that camera control is a bit stiff, it's not as responsive as I'd want it to be. Besides, Stranger tends to get stuck in the ground, making me have to jump before I can move him.

So is there going to be another update soon? I still haven't benn able to play even once.

Not very good controlling it with mouse and keyboard. Game pad would be much easier. Game freeze jumps just as i need to make the 3rd person jump on the 1st mission out of the town = impossible to do because of it.
Full screen wont work.

On 08/21/2012，steam beta has new update, there's one fix said:
- Fixed joining password protected content betas in some cases
Maybe that's the reason.

My game has also gone back to the non-HD version. I've got no idea why this has happened. On the plus side, at least I can play past the tutorial now.

Strange. SW reverted back to the original game today after Steam did an update. I didn't notice until now because I had minimized Steam right after the update. I checked and Beta was still selected. I had re-enter the Beta password. I see others are having the same problem as well.

mine is also updating?

Just re-enter the old password for HD beta test, it will update.

To Euden,
No, there's no change on my PC.
Maybe you just quit 'steam' beta project or joined it. That will push Stranger's Wrath HD beta back to original game. I don't know why, but It happened to me once when I quit steam beta.
