Working Difficulty Fix for Dev Build Atomic Heart

Manually reduced the complexity by editing the files from the developer version directly. The files from the release version are taken as a basis. Edited the parameters of weapons, loot, leveling and npc. The game does not crash at startup (crashes are possible as you progress, but this unstable build of the game is to blame).

Installation: Drop the contents of the archive into the game folder with file replacement.

Setting up when you first start the game:

Initially, the game will be in English with English voice acting.

To get started, go to "Options" > the "Gameplay" tab > "Language - Russian", to apply the changes press "Enter" > "Yes" (you need to apply the changes for each tab separately if you want to change something in other tabs).

Then you can go to the "Audio" tab and select the voiceover language, customize other tabs at your discretion.

To adjust the difficulty (if you are not satisfied with the default difficulty), go to the "Gameplay" tab, select "Difficulty - Easy". At this point, you can't apply the settings, so toggle "Subtitles - Off", apply the settings and turn the subtitles back on in the same way if you need them.

In order for the settings to be saved, you need to re-enter the game.

For those who have this fix "does not work / the complexity does not change":

Of course, it is very desirable to start a new game. However, I tested the performance with the old saves as well. In short, just go further through the plot and everything will work (maybe not everything, but it will become easier to break robots).

With old saves, the difficulty does not change immediately, but after the next save (it is advisable to re-enter the game after that and load again).

Personally, I checked everything when saving without using the "save terminal", but when saving automatically (in my case, the first meeting with a black "Vovchik").

Important note: Not all mechanics are available in the dev version, not everything was transferred from the release version of the game. Something may not work at all, something may not work as it should. It is ok.

P.S: In addition, I will tell you how to complete the mission in the village (when you climb the tower and the mission does not start).
1. You need to go to the "developer menu" by pressing the ← (Backspace) key
2. Select the "Quests" tab at the top
3. Press the "Complete Quests" button and exit the "developer menu" by pressing the ← (Backspace) key again
4. After that, you go to the gate from the village, which you were supposed to open according to the quest
5. Open the "developer menu" again, select the "Main" tab (if not selected)
6. At the bottom there will be buttons marked with red "Teleportation". Select "Teleport Forward"
7. You are thrown over the gate, then get on the car and according to the plot.

If you can't take a weapon in the hut (no spoilers, you'll find out where). Just talk to the character next to you and try to get out of the hut. In all other cases of bugs, use the last save and move on.
