Quick tips for optimal recording of Unveil

• Run the game in Windowed mode (default).
• Capture the game using Game Capture mode. If your graphic driver does not fully support OpenGL, the image may be flipped on your recording app. In such situations, use Window Capture instead.
• On Settings, set Temperature Units to Fahrenheit and Weight Units to Pounds if you and your audience are more habituated to it than Celcius.
• Use the in-game Settings to multiply the game screen up to 720p or 1280p as needed.
• If you have a bandwidth constraint, you may stream the game at the 1:1 resolution of 640x360 (360p). 60 FPS is preferred over higher screen resolution, which only results in stretching graphics with no quality gain.

Permissions on content you share

From recorded videos to streaming.

• Let everyone hear the adaptive music of Unveil. You are fully allowed to stream or record gameplay, with the in-game music playing in the background.
• You can monetize your content.
• Optional: We would really appreciate it, if you drop a link to our website in your video or stream. That is: http://unveilgame.com/

Technical Frequently Asked Questions

Black Screen while playing — Nvidia users

One kind of black screen issue is bound to forcing Anti-Alias or VSync for Unveil or all games.

If this is the case, it is most likely you can play Unveil by pressing F5 until you get the lowest resolution possible. Stretching renders the screen black due to Anti-Aliasing which is being forced.

To solve this, please:

• Open your Nvidia settings.
• On global settings, ensure you have "Application Controlled" set for both Anti-Aliasing and Vertical Sync.
• Alternatively, you can add Unveil to the settings panel and, just for it, set AA and VSync settings to Application Controlled.
• Ensure you Apply settings. Then you may run Unveil.

Black Screen while playing — Turning off Steam Overlay

This seems to affect non Nvidia users, so far we know of Intel HD Graphics having these issues.

To turn Steam Overlay off, please:

• Find Unveil in your Steam Library.
• Right click it, select Properties.
• Uncheck the "Enable the Steam Overlay when in-game"
• Close the window. Run Unveil again.

Problems rendering, Frozen screens and Memory or other random, constant crashes

If you have massive levels of bugs, this is an engine issue with your system configuration. The game may work fine on other computer you may have around.

First, try the following:

• Open Unveil.
• If you are playing Fullscreen, press Alt + Enter to switch to Window mode.
• Press F5 to cycle through window sizes until the game is at it's smallest.
• Try the game, see if it runs fine.

If that doesn't fix it, you may be that unfortunate minority on which the engine Unveil was built on (RPG Maker and MKXP) does not work properly.

Unfortunately we can't reproduce the issue, and even if we could, we can't fix the engine. We made the game, not the engine, and can't provide support on it's behalf.

If you can't play the game in your system, please ask for a refund on Steam. We don't want you to waste your money. We may release a testing tool sometime down the line for you to test if any new system you may have can run Unveil before purchasing it again.

We are really sorry about this. Thank you for your time and understanding.
