i really just cant find this demo lol

Hey friends. It was actually this community on Reddit that first called out THG for the long wait times on model ships. After seeing the complaints, we spent a few months trying to speed up production but the issues ran too deep. The only way out was to shut down our store and refund tens of thousands of dollars for model ships that were unlikely to be delivered in a reasonable time frame.

It took over a year, but aside from 10 customers that we cannot reach, we have refunded all orders! Those last ten orders are below in case you might be one of them.

Thanks for calling us out. Now, please never say "model ship" around me ever again!

If you read this and your order number is below, please email us: store@vdr.llc

So from my understanding the game currently uses the Lumen lighting system in UE5 which is primarily designed for very dynamic lighting scenes, both time of day and changing geometry. However given the fact that what is being built is fundamentally a relatively static environment, would it not make more sense to go for a more pre-baked approach for the illumination (The Division's Global Illumination springs to mind)? This would theoretically improve performance and the precalculated nature would allow for far higher quality lighting to be done as it doesn't have to fit in a frame budget in the same way. Is there some particular reason why this might not work?

I've been trying to play Demo 401 for so long. It keeps saying "DX12 is not supported on your system. Try running without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line argument" My graphics are Intel(R) Iris(R) XE Graphics. I have a Windows 11. I've tried every method possible. Please help.

Can Someone Please help me figure out how to open the files in the newest demo? From the research I’ve done there does not seem to be a way to mod Unreal 5 games?

apparently Umodel has been discontinued and Fmodel isnt for unreal games? I’ve tried both programs with no success. theres a Aes key posted on google for the previous unreal engine 4 demo which worked for that specific demo but for the newest demo cant find the Aes key or the right program to pop it in to see The files…

The only other program I found while trying to figure this out was called Universal unreal engine 5 unlocker, but that program only seems to be for reshades or activating free cam in game which is not what I’m after, I specifically want to see the files so i and others can start modding this.

Being able to mod this demo and other unreal engine 5 games would be great, hopefully someone or a small group of tech inclined can continue where the creators of Umodel left off, because there’s a bunch of games being made for unreal 5 And I’m sure many will want to be able to create mods for them.

very much appreciate any help given . Made some mods for other games but still a noob for certain things.

So, last night i tried to download demo 401 but it wouldnt load on my laptop, something about my hardware. I really want to see it for myself though, so I’m here asking the requirements for Demo 3. I dont want to waste a ton of time waiting for download just to not be able to play

What happened to the NPCs that you guys payed and have been modeled ages ago that you showcased in your update videos? Why not use those instead of a generic model? Gessop Murdock and Phillips

Kyle told me a week ago that the site is being updated, but I still cannot download the demo again, for project 401, any indication on when the website will be updated by the DEV’S?

Hello, does anyone have the Demo 401 v2.0 archived anywhere, or know where I could still get it? I tried web.archive but it redirects me too many times and I don't know how to fix that. I only ask because my GPU ran 2.0 without issues that I notice on 2.1 that weren't there on 2.0, and I'd still prefer to play 2.0 until at least I buy a new GPU.

Also, this is my first post here, so forgive me if I used the wrong flair.

The download links are a little bit confusing to me. If I want to experience every content there is (beside VR), which version do I need?

Is everything included in Demo 401, or do I need Demo 401 + Siking Room Demo + Demo 3?

No matter what browser or device I visit the website on I just receive an error 404. Has something happened?

So just this morning I downloaded Demo 401 on my dell Inspiron 16 and when it was done downloading I clicked the file application And it popped up with a tag saying “windows protected your PC, Microsoft defender smart screen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your pc at risk” and it gives me an option to run it or not to . after reading this I am now scared of putting my pc at risk of a virus or leaking my data and etc. what should I do?

So I'm on Macbook Pro, and I've downloaded the 401 demo. It comes up in my files as a .zip file, and when I open it it comes up as ten different 'bin' files and one 'exe' file. Not sure how I can actually play the game so any help is appreciated. Thanks

I joined the game for the first time. I clicked Skip to Ship. It's laggy. It will work for 20 seconds, then the game will freeze and then i will be kicked out of the game. Why is this happening?

Or move on to other projects like Grand Voyage and Lusitania: Greyhound of the Sea? I would go for the latter two,

First of all, please don't flame me haha. I have a Mac laptop and 3 game consoles currently. So I really don't need another gaming machine or general daily computer. But I really want to run Honor and Glory and don't want to dedicate the space for a full desktop rig.

I was looking at a new Samsung or Lenovo 3k laptop. Both would have 16GB system RAM with either Intel Arc or Qualcomm Adreno integrated graphics along with a high end processor (yes, I already know integrated graphics cards are nowhere near the power/quality of a dedicated graphics card).

But do you think either could run the demo adequately? That's all I would be looking for and would be spending over 1k easily on either model. And the other consideration would be if I would have issues trying to run DirectX 12. Thanks for any advice you can provide.
