Tried this.. Uninstalled the game from steam and reinstalled true steam again.. same deal.. only the warning sound spammed a few times now< instead of once.. yet I couldnt get the menu screen.. chucckle goes well.. loading seems to go good.. then... BUMBUMBUMBUMBRRUM.. Failed to load game!
Read the thread, type1ninja is working on a java program that does this. I've tested and not gotten it to work, but maybe I'm not doing something right. Did you backup your players folder and empty it?
This is what I want out of beta. this is what I like to do. Daily bits and pieces that I can report to the devs on. Waiting between is slightly annoying. I'm fine with crashes and bugs. I'm here to help get rid of them.
Well they feel few people will actually use the nightly and once stable updates since all updates are via steam updating the stable if you still want to play nightlies too is going to be a pain. It would be nice though, Hopefully the type1 gets his launcher approved and it can fill in for that.
I'm updating it. It is better already! I will add support for computers with their Steam library installed on a different drive soon/now.
It's probably just the novelty and I'm sure it'll wear off quick, but having a world without monsters almost makes the world seem more immersive than tripping over a four-horned beast every two meters.
Molly, Tiy, et al. I love you guys. Really. But this may be a bad idea. There are pros and cons of course. Pro - Run the bleeding edge most up to date SB! - You can see that "progress" is being made - May shut up some of the whiners Con - Most folks do not have a software development background and don't understand that a nightly build, especially in a beta, is equivalent to "this may not work and may totally jack your stuff up" - You'll get new whiners complaining that the nightly build doesn't work Honestly, I spent a bunch of years in the game industry and now work IT. Development of games, like all software, takes times. There are bugs. There are problems. You work through them. This game is in beta form and to be honest, it's more stable than most traditional game betas and oddly more stable than some full release games... but I digress. I think it's cool that you're allowing folks to look in the window and poke around at this if they want to, I'm just afraid the vast majority don't "get" that this isn't the build you play with, it's the build you poke around in and log bug reports on [IF you are even wanting/accepting bug reports on a nightly build as they could be... less than useful]. Either way, best of luck. I appreciate the recent slew of news updates tho, like most, wouldn't mind seeing a patch once in awhile to go with it. Granted, that in and of itself, is a loaded question as depending on how you're developing this, there may not be an easy "checkpoint" to cut from and give to the unwashed masses, especially if you're doing major core system work.
I got the impression that whoever opts into the nightly build will have read the blog (because they wouldn't know about it otherwise) and therefore will have been informed about your potential cons.
Ha. You know how reading goes for some folks. "BUT YOU DIDNT TELL ME IT WOULD BREAK MY EVERYTHING??" Sadly even the giant yellow letters and warnings everywhere... sometimes get ignored.
Because they haven't been giving us daily progress updates. Because they're not actually giving us an option to see their progress in a somewhat "live" perspective. Okay. Good luck with that attitude.
alot of times its a case of "Big red words? Must mean ignore this!" while other people think "Big red words? Probably blown out of proportion, cant be THAT bad!"
Great newsss. Progressss on floran and other sships look great! When can floran expect update? Tomorrow? A week from now? A month from now? End of summer? Please let Floran know! Alssso floran like monster battle progressss , thisss make it more fun to hunt for meatsss!
I read that... I'm talking about an official launcher coming from the dev team that is guaranteed to work.
