Greetings! I have just released a new update with a ton of bug fixes and a few other smaller changes. Thanks for everyone's patience since the last update.
A new update is great and all but what is more important right now are the issues not in the update. There is a good number of issues that I am having troubles with and need your help!
Before getting into individual details I'd like to help you help me with reporting issues. When reporting an issue it is important to provide as much information as possible. This includes the logs (or full report), details on when it happen, steps to reproduce, screenshots if you think it'd help, how frequent it happens and any other information you think may be useful.
Current Issues
Below I have outlined several issues that I need help with along with a status update on a few others. I have created a separate thread for each issue I need help with. If you have any information or even if you don't but are running into the issue then please post on the corresponding thread and let me know.
Disappearing items
Some items disappearing randomly. I need help tracking down exactly what is going on here.
Discussion Thread
White Screen on Startup
Crea freezes with a white screen. I've seen a few people say that unplugging their Xbox One controller fixes the issue. I bought an Xbox One controller and cannot reproduce this.
Discussion Thread
Music/SFX not playing
A few people have reported this but I am unable to reproduce it.
Discussion Thread
Pixelated line
A few reports of an odd line cutting diagonally across the game. Trying to determine cause and severity.
Discussion Thread
Interactions not working in multiplayer
Not much information on this yet. Need help tracking down how to reproduce this.
Discussion Thread
Multiplayer Issues
Multiplayer bugs are always harder to fix and I could use everyone's help on tracking these down. When playing with a friend and you run into an issue write down what you and your friend where doing and if you can keep trying to reproduce it. Doing this will help me greatly and I'll love you forever.
Windows XP not working
This is an issue caused by the UI library breaking backwards compatibility. They will hopefully fix it soon.
Character creation doesn't show character on OSX
Again, another issue caused by the UI library that they are working on. Sorry!
Other issues
Just because I didn't mention an issue you are running into doesn't mean I don't know or care about it. If you are running into an issue that is blocking you from playing the game or a major inconvenience then please make sure I know. As mentioned above, when reporting issues be sure to provide as much information as possible.
Moving forward
Moving forward I will continue focusing on resolving issues until everything is more or less stable - multiplayer included. Once that happens I will be finishing up the 1.0 content and adding some polish. The release is not too far off!
