Re: Can I buy the game directly from Rockfish?
Hi, GOG allows download of the game without installing anything else. They do have a client much like steam called GOG Galaxy, but you are not forced to use it. I think you will need to create a GOG user account, though.
Re: Problems with blueprints finding in the end
Hi,
I'll be checking to see if there currently is some problem with blueprint drops. I also played through the whole game on PS4 and in the end had the feeling that they've gotten somwhat rare.
If you don't have the blueprint for the Fusion Blaster M6-A, I recommend the following in order to complete the last quest for Tareen: Play on normal or hard and try to open as many secure containers or derelict Colonial station doors as you can. These special loot containers have the highest chance of dropping a Fusion Blaster M6-A or even an enhanced version.
Now if you have not found the enhanced version, if you have completed the Throng questline you can build the Throng beacon consumable and call him, making use of his services to enhance your Fusion Blaster M6-A and install three mods to it.
And here's a sneaky cheaty way how to get your hands on the blaster: If you have found a derelict colonial station with a closed red door and have an access key and have opened the special tech container and did not get the blaster - simply quit to the main menu and restart the location - the item drops will be different this time, so open the door again and again and loot the container again and again until you get lucky.
Hope that helps and good luck!

Re: VR with Xbox Play Anywhere PC version
Hi, unfortunately there is no VR support for the Windows Store version as it is a different beast of a platform entirely
Re: Keyboard and Mouse Support on PS4?
Hello there @JustT1nMan ! Sorry for the very late response, my apologies!
The PS4 does not support a mouse. You could probably make it work on keyboard, but it's not initially supported to do so. Let me know if you have any more questions!

Re: Can I get a refund?
Hi, should you report back to Microsoft regarding the refund? From our point of view you are eligible for a refund in this case and Microsoft should grant you one. We can't to refunds from the Microsoft Store ourselves and I'm a bit surprised that Microsoft asked you to ask us (or is it just about whether we would grant you one or not and they would then handle it)?
If they still say that we should handle it I guess our only option would be to send you the amount you paid via PayPal (we would lose taxes and microsoft share though) - In any case, if you'd like to go the paypal way, please write to support at rockfishgames . com with your paypal credentials and some sort of receipt for the game.

Re: New graphics setting to enable enhanced PhysX support on PCs?
Hi, sorry to keep you waiting for an answer, but we don't plan on adding this feature. It would be a lot more work than you might expect. We can't simply go back to an old version, as there were so many changes (in Unreal Engine versions and other) since then. The whole mesh changed, too, not only the destructible. Also, the way we're currently using the graphics settings is pretty much tied to Unreal Engine settins, so we don't use anything custom, but we'd need to make a custom differentiation for the destructible meshes.
Re: Is it possible to use the cockpit camera WITH just the aim/radar icons?
You can turn off the HUD elements that are also displayed in the 3D cockpit in the Options menu. Turn off Options->Game->Show HUD in Cockpit View.
Re: Gaming with NVidia driver 342.01?
Hi,
looking at your setup I'm afraid that it's below our minimum specs and I don't think you'll be able to run the game. You're on a 32bit system with a Geforce GTS 250 which is weaker than gtx 480 that we specified as mimimum on Steam. I'm guessing that Unreal Engine uses some graphics features that are not supported by your card (which is why the message is shown).
Sorry about that, but I think you should ask for a refund on Steam.

Re: Resetting in easy mode
Every time you start a new run from the hangar, you can choose which difficulty level to play.
