Portal to another dimension not working

  • Game Version: fully updated

  • Platform: (Steam windows / Steam Mac / Mac)

  • Mods: No Mods/CC

  • Hardware Specifications & Operating System (OS version, CPU, GPU, RAM, storage…):

  • Steps to Reproduce: try to reach the other dimension via the portal with the blinding light when you open the fridge

Jack just opened the fridge and there was that blinding light that obviously leads to another dimension, but sadly, he couldn’t enter to explore the mystery beyond :magnifying_glass_tilted_right:

(If the blinding light is not supposed to lead to another dimension, please dim it down ö.Ö’)

When I posted the following screenshot in the laptop thread, I noticed how super bright it also is.
How is one supposed to see sth on such a bright screen?
This screenshot is already almost 3 weeks old, the one from the post above is from today.

First off, thanks for making me laugh :rofl:

Honestly, I remember seeing the portal too. I happened to be in-game when reading your report, so I checked if the dimension is still open in my Bliss Bay save. Unfortunately, no:



I included one screenshot from inside-room angle and another one more zoomed up and out. Neither seemed to trigger the portal.

Yours happens to be in Cahaya, right? Is the reply screenshot taken in another city or Cahaya too?
I’ll check both other cities once my rotational gameplay leads me back to them, approx. in 1-2 days.

No, also Bliss Bay but both screenshots I took were at night, lights hit different during the night

It’s easily reproduceable in photo mode, no matter which time of the day it currently is ingame.

Just move the slider at the top right corner to ‘night’

That’s the same scene with the lever at ‘morning’

I desperately tried to find the portal. No luck. Maybe some of our lighting settings are too different. I haven’t checked mine in ages tbh.

I tried numerous changes to shadow and light quality, raytracing, etc., but couldn’t reproduce it. Sorry =(

Np, thank you though! I’ll try with a new save or with other settings

Already found the culprit without having to start a new save or check my settings,
it’s the snow -.-

I really hate what it does with the lighting inside the houses :psycat_upset:

Snow+Night=Portal

The vending machines at the Elegance Nightclub in Bliss Bay

Also the mirror

And I hope it’s ok when I copy a screenshot from @taibak ‘s beautiful Le Petit Café with the same issue here (if not plz tell me and I’ll remove it)
Was it winter in your game when you took the screenshots?
In the first pic of your post is no snow, but did it snow when you took the screenshot below?

Your boys are welcome to stop at the Le Petit Cafe and relax. Feel free to use the screenshot. There was no snow left. It must have been just one day in between or so. But it was still cold. Even the helper in the yellow suit with the face mask was freezing as he cleared the tables again for free and put the dishes in the dishwasher.

Thank you :psycat_paw:

He was freezing inside the Café? Or when cleaning up the tables outside?

Even in the cafe, like the two employees when they arrived at work. I have to laugh heartily every time when the “yellow man” comes into the cafe just to tidy up and then he runs out of the cafe :joy:.

It also affects the water ö.Ö’

There are no lights in the basins

Sorry, I have no suggestion or solution, but when I saw the title of the post, I thought there’d been an update that I’d missed. I really thought we could go through the fridge. Then I read the thread and realised that the light was just really bright.

LMAO

I thought inZOI had added Narnia.

Maybe the devs take it into consideration now :3

I hope so. I thought, “This is awesome, how did I miss it?” Then I realised and started laughing at myself.
