Current Limitations

The game is still in development & the current build is not fully optimized for certain devices yet but stay tuned!

At the moment, the game works perfectly on a Windows PC that has NVidia GeForce GTX1070, 8GB RAM, Intel i7-6700K with a standard HD 1920x1080 display. 4K display devices and devices with lower specs are not tested yet. Some players experienced lag on 4K devices and their issue got resolved after scaling down the resolution to 1920x1080.

Current known bug is the New Game button which sometimes still have leftovers from the previous save file if it exists. If the game stops working or the save files are corrupted, go to the app data directory and delete all the files here:

C:\Users\*YOUR COMPUTER NAME*\AppData\LocalLow\DarkScience\ProjectAnomaly

If it still doesn't work, you can reinstall the game. We hope that helps!

If you encounter any undocumented problems, please send a message to us with the subject (PROJECT ANOMALY - BUG REPORT: *Your bug*) and please include your current specs to be included for our future iterations of optimization. Please note that the development is currently handled by one person & please be patient for bug fixes & optimization updates. We apologize for the inconvenience & we will optimize the game to more devices as more testers play the game :)

Embrace the unknown & happy investigating!
