Fixed

  • Long wait on the first start. The game sat in Task Manager for several minutes before its window opened on the first start. That was the graphics shaders being compiled; Setup now prepares them at the end of the install (about 2–3 minutes, with a message), so the game opens straight away.
  • Steam Deck / Proton: Setup failed at once with "Could not unpack Setup's files". Setup now unpacks everything itself. The game itself is still untested on the Deck, so reports are very welcome.

Already on v0.5 or v0.5.1? You don't need to reinstall for the start-up fix: only your very first start was slow, and later starts are quick.

How to update

  1. Download OrtaPC_Setup.exe from the v0.5.2 release.
  2. Close the game if it's running.
  3. Run OrtaPC_Setup.exe. If Windows SmartScreen warns you, choose More info → Run anyway.
  4. Setup finds your disc image by itself. If it doesn't, press Disc image... and choose your Panzer Dragoon Orta .iso.
  5. Next to Install to, press Browse... and choose the folder where the game is already installed (the folder with Panzer Dragoon Orta.exe in it).
  6. Press Install and wait about 20–30 minutes. Near the end it says "Preparing the graphics shaders" for 2–3 minutes; leave it running.
  7. When it says Finished, press Play or use the desktop shortcut.

Your saves and settings are kept. You need about 3 GB free on your Windows drive during the install, plus space for the game.
