Boristan (playtest)

❓ BORISTAN tester FAQ

⏰ When does the playtest end?
Tuesday 20 October, 20:00 Eastern European time (EEST). That's 19:00 Central Europe, 18:00 UK, 17:00 UTC, 13:00 New York and 10:00 Los Angeles.

⬇ Download or browser?
Download if you can. The Windows, Mac and Linux versions run much smoother. The browser version is fine for a quick look or on a phone; Chrome runs it best.

🎮 Controllers?
Xbox and PlayStation pads work out of the box, with rumble. Steam Controller: start Steam first and use the Gamepad layout. On phones, touch controls appear in the browser.

🐢 It's slow or choppy.
Press Esc, Settings, set Graphics quality to Low. On laptops with two graphics chips, use the download, or set the browser to "High performance" in Windows graphics settings.

🖱 The mouse doesn't turn the camera.
Click inside the game once. Esc, Settings has Mouse lock and Mouse sensitivity.

🍎 macOS says the app is "damaged".
It isn't, it just isn't signed by Apple. Try opening it once, then System Settings, Privacy & Security, Open Anyway. Steps are also in HOW-TO-OPEN-ON-MAC.txt in the zip.

📱 iPhone: the browser bar won't go away.
That's an iPhone limit. Hold the phone sideways and use Safari's aA menu, Hide Toolbar, if offered.

👥 Co-op?
Esc, Co-op. The host needs the download and clicks Host game, then shares the room code. Friends type it in, from the download or the browser. 2 to 4 players, everyone on the latest version.

🚗 Stuck?
In a car, T (or LB on a pad) tows you back to the road. Otherwise Esc, Restart game.

🐞 Found a bug?
Press F4 (fn+F4 on Mac) right when it happens, type a few words, press Enter. Post the screenshot and text file it saves in #playtest-bugs on our Discord: https://discord.gg/AEHgdjyUyW
Ideas go in #playtest-feedback, your best Lada crimes in #comrade-moments.

It's a playtest, so expect bugs and the occasional Lada falling through the floor. Boris says thank you, comrade. 🫡
