Heat Signature tells you almost everything in-game, and what it doesn’t explicitly tell you can be inferred based on what it does tell you. Hold F to speed up time by 6x. Immensely useful when you’re waiting for a guard to leave their group or when approaching a ship. Destroyed rooms act as impromptu airlocks. I knocked out an assassination target enemy with the wrench. Then I couldn't kill him with the short blade. Ultimately I resorted to the grenade launcher, which wasn't ideal because it set off an alarm. How can you kill an unconscious target with your sword?

If Heat Signature crashes, Heat Signature will not start, Heat Signature not installing, there are no controls in Heat Signature, no sound in game, errors happen in Heat Signature – we offer you the most common ways to solve these problems.

Be sure to update your graphics card drivers and other software

Before letting out all of your bad feelings toward development team, do not forget to go to the official website of your graphics card manufacturer and download the latest drivers. There are often specially prepared optimized drivers for specific game. You can also try to install a past versions of the driver if the problem is not solved by installing the current version. It is important to remember that only the final version of the video card driver must be loaded – try not to use the beta version, since they can have some terrible bugs.

Do not also forget that for good game operation you may need to install the latest version DirectX, which can be found and downloaded from official Microsoft website.

Heat Signature not starting

Many of the problems with games launching happen because of improper installation. Check, if there was any error during installation, try deleting the game and run the installer again, but before install don’t forget to disable antivirus – it may often mistakenly delete files during installation process. It is also important to remember that the path to the folder with a game should contain only Latin characters and numbers.

You also have to check whether there is enough space on the HDD for installation. You can also try to run the game as an administrator in compatibility mode with different versions of Windows.

Heat Signature crashes. Low FPS. Friezes. Hangs

Your first solution to this problem install new drivers for a video card. This action can drastically rise game FPS. Also, check the CPU and memory utilization in the Task Manager (opened by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESCAPE). If before starting the game you can see that some process consumes too many resources - turn off the program or simply remove this process from Task Manager.

Next, go to the graphics settings in the game. First – turn off anti-aliasing and try to lower the setting, responsible for post-processing. Many of them consume a lot of resources and switching them off will greatly enhance the performance, and not greatly affect the quality of the picture.

Heat Signature crashes to the desktop

If Heat Signature often crashes to the desktop, try to reduce quality of the graphics. It is possible that your PC just does not have enough performance and the game may not work correctly. Also, it is worth to check out for updates - most of today's games have the automatic patches installation system on startup if internet connection is available. Check to see whether this option is turned off in the settings and switch it on if necessary.

Black of black screen in the Heat Signature

The most common issue with black screen is a problem with your GPU. Check to see if your video card meets the minimum requirements and install the latest drivers. Sometimes a black screen is the result of a lack of CPU performance.

If everything is fine with your hardware and it satisfies the minimum requirements, try to switch to another window (ALT + TAB), and then return to the game screen.

Heat Signature is not installed. Installation hangs

First of all, check that you have enough space on the HDD for installation. Remember that to work properly installer requires the declared volume of space, plus 1-2 GB of additional free space on the system drive. In general, remember this rule – you must always have at least 2 gigabytes of free space on your system drive (usually it’s disk C) for temporary files. Otherwise, the games and the other software may not work correctly or even refuse to start.

Problems with the installation may also be due to the lack of an internet connection or it’s instability. Also, do not forget to stop the antivirus for the time game installation – sometimes it interferes with the correct file copy, or delete files by mistake, mistakenly believing they are viruses.

Saves not working in Heat Signature

By analogy with the previous solution, check for free space on HDD - both on where the game is installed, and the system drive. Often your saves are stored in a folder of documents, which is separate from the game itself.

Controls not working in Heat Signature

Sometimes the controls in game do not work because of the simultaneous connection of multiple input devices. Try disabling gamepad, or, if for some reason, you have two connected keyboards or mouses, leave only one pair of devices. If your gamepad does not work, remember - the games usually officially support only native Xbox controllers. If your controller is defined in system differently - try using software that emulates the Xbox gamepad (eg, x360ce - step by step manual can be found here).

No sound in Heat Signature

Check if the sound works in other programs. Then check to see if the sound is turned off in the settings of the game, and whether there is correct audio playback device selected, which is connected your speakers or headset. After this check volumes in system mixer, it can also be turned off there.

If you are using an external audio card - check for new drivers at the manufacturer's website.

Item Attributes
A comprehensive list of all item attributes. Each attribute within the same category is mutually exclusive with other attributes of the same category, unless otherwise specified. Most attributes have associated prefixes, but some do not.

Rarity
Color of the item’s name, and general power level. Only items of Interesting rarity or above will sell for anything at a vendor.

Common: Guns, shotguns, and wrenches. Items of this rarity sell for nothing, and are freely abundant on any ship.

Interesting: Everything that isn’t regularly carried by a guard. You frequently find Interesting items from guards which drop items (denoted by a treasure chest icon where the key icon would be).

Rare: Granted by Recharging attribute. Mid-tier items which give you a specific number of uses per mission. Reduces amount of time you have to spend attacking nearby ships for supplies before taking on a mission.

Exceptional: Granted by Armor-Piercing or Self-Charging attributes. Sells for a lot, and in both cases the best in class. Self-charging items have no effective use limit other than time, and armor-piercing weapons are necessary for the toughest class of guard.

Unique: These weapons are unique. They always generate the same way, and do special things. The only two Unique weapons I’ve encountered are Fiasco’s Facebreaker (armour-piercing non-lethal melee weapon used in the tutorial) and the Everything Gun (gathers and hurls all physics objects within radius).

Capacity
The number of uses your item has. Upon running out of uses, you will either be temporarily unable to use the item (if it recharges) or it will disintegrate (if it doesn’t recharge).

-No Attribute: 1 use.
-Medium Capacity: 3 uses.
-High-Capacity: 5 uses.

Recharge
How your items recharge, if they do at all. Items that do not recharge disintegrate once all their charges are used.

-No Attribute: Item will disintegrate after it loses its last charge. Charge is retained between missions.
-Recharging/Restocking: Charge/ammo will restore to max capacity upon docking with a friendly station. Limited-use per mission, but never disintegrates.
-Self-Charging: Charge will gradually restore to max capacity over time, even on enemy ships.

Range
Non-weapon items only. Determines the maximum possible range of your item.

-No Attribute: Base range. Generally speaking, about one room length.
-Long Range: 1.5x base range.
-Extreme Range: 2x base range.

Noise
Ranged weapon only. How much noise your weapon makes. If shots or explosions are heard, guards will investigate the area.

-No Attribute: Shots or explosions can be heard from far away, approximately 2-3 room lengths.
-Quiet: Shots or explosions can be heard from one room length away.
-Silenced: Shots or explosions can be heard from one meter away (about quarter of a room’s length)

Fire Speed
Ranged weapon only. The speed at which a weapon can fire. The faster the speed, the better the weapon.

-No Attribute: Base firing speed, feels about 0.9s (not explicitly shown).
-Quickfire: Fast, semi-automatic. 0.3s firing speed.
-Automatic: Fires as long as you hold the trigger, feels about 0.1s (not explicitly shown).

Swing Speed
Melee weapon only. Determines how fast you can swing, which limits your options in a fight. No prefix.

-Slow Recovery: 0.4s cooldown on a swing.
-Quick Recovery: Swings incredibly fast, feels about 0.1s (not explicitly shown).

Armour-Piercing
This weapon can directly injure armored opponents. Usually lethal, although there are some very rare armour-piercing non-lethal options.

Ammo
Lethal guns usually require ammo, which can be scavenged from ships and missions. You can see your current ammo count below your inventory.
