Improvements and fixes
- Improved FPS for the entire game
- Fixed dialogues (codes were appearing instead of text)
- Fixed events when saving your game
- Proper parameterization of functionalities in Unreal Engine 5
- Inclusion of two files to force DirectX11 and DirectX12 (for use as needed by our players)
Known bugs
- Memory overflows – We hope to cover this point soon
- Certain events are not compatible between the UE4 and UE5 versions. We recommend playing the game from the beginning if you encounter any issues or playing from a point earlier in the story before the error appeared. This is due to how UE4 and UE5 handle special characters, and unfortunately, it’s not something we can fix. For now, they will remain semi-compatible versions.
If you experience problems running the game please DOWNLOAD the file attached to this post and extract it’s content into the same folder the Z-Island.exe file is located. Then double click on the “Force DirectX12.bat” file, if that doesn’t work try the “Force DirectX11.bat” file. If game still crashes please DM us.

v0.16.5
N/A
v0.15:
Hey guys, I forgot to upload last update here, and I’m sorry about it.
I won’t be able to get at least the next 2 or 3 updates.
But here’s a little tip if someone is ok to pay for it: Updates are usually released 1st friday of the month (an exception occured in June where it was the 2nd friday).
Still, I usually get a 1 month membership (10€), but I wait some days after the release if needed to be sure the membership ends after the 1 friday of the next month. That way, I can get 2 updates for only 1 month fee.
Feel free to do the same if you want.
Anyway, I may get the next updates in like 3 or 4 months, but probably not before.

- Cars and traffic will behave strangely
- Some typos

What’s new in this version:

- When following NPCs during special events, the MC’s speed will be adjusted to the NPC’s speed to make following easier and smoother.
- New renders

Improvements and bug fixes:
