May have issues when using OpenXRToolkit
If you launch the game and experience shaking visuals or controllers, make sure that OpenXRToolkit is not running, and if you are connecting via Virtual Desktop, ensure it uses the VDXR runtime (from version 1.32.9 this happens by default when the OpenXR runtime is set to Automatic).
We cannot guarantee that each EA version will support previous saves, so be prepared for your progress to be lost with updates. We can also tell you long in advance that you'll need to start fresh after full release as well.
We look forward to your feedback and first impressions! Happy anniversary, and see you in the Radius :)

Hi everyone! Hope you're doing well, it's been some time since we last spoke.
First of all, we would like to thank all of you for your ongoing interest in our upcoming story-driven RPG, Vahrin's Call. We appreciate your patience more than you realise, as we work tirelessly to get this game over the finish line and into your hands.
As some of you have pointed out, we have been absent from Steam for a while. Our last update on the game's progress was posted here in December of 2023, and so, we wanted to take some time now to reassure all of you that Vahrin's Call is still in development and is progressing smoothly!
We have been hard at work this year and the game is now closer than ever to completion.
So, why the lack of Steam updates?
Well, to be fully transparent with you all, we've been incredibly busy, and an unfortunate consequence of this is that we've let our communication slip.
Much like with our dev logs, we thoroughly enjoyed sharing the game's development with you all last year. Posting updates to our Steam page allowed us to give you a deeper insight into how the game was progressing, while also giving you something a little extra to look forward to every week.
However, at the end of 2023, we came to realise posting with that level of frequency was not going to be feasible moving forward. As we near closer and closer to the game's release, we find ourselves increasingly busy, polishing up everything we can to deliver on the best experience possible. While it's most certainly a positive that the majority of our attention is focused on getting Vahrin's Call finished, it unfortunately means we're unable to dedicate as much time to sharing updates on the game's progress.
With that being said, we don't want it to sound like we're making excuses!
Clear and consistent communication with our community has been a priority for us, ever since we first started sharing the game with you all, back in October of 2020. We had intended to provide an update to Steam on how things were going, but it just kept getting pushed down the line, and for that, all we can do is apologise. We are sorry!
As I'm sure many of you know, there are only a small handful of us working on Vahrin's Call, and this our very first game, so we're still learning a lot on-the-go. We're going to make mistakes from time to time, but we will strive to learn and improve.
So, what happens next?
As always, we will continue posting regularly to all of our social media pages, nothing changes there. If you are interested in seeing some of the changes we've made to the game since the end of 2023, that's the place to be! > Vahrin's Call Linktree
As for things here on Steam, all we can say is that we will ensure to provide you with more consistent updates moving forward. How frequently I cannot say, but we'll make sure to keep you all in the loop as best as we can.
Though you can expect another post soon that covers a range of the changes and improvements we've made since the end of 2023~
Thank you for your ongoing support as always, and we look forward to sharing more info with you soon!
