Hey there everyone,
As promised we've pushed out two updates today that should take care of the problems with the game not launching for some people. This is the main news and was obviously our priority for today. The rest of the info is below. Keep those reports coming!
Achievements
We've also added Steam achievements, I know that a lot of you were waiting for that, so enjoy. There are only 16 or so for now, but we'll add more as we go along.
Important!
When you update, make sure that the version number on the bottom right of the menu screen is the same as this v0.1.3880-beta. If it's not, then quit the game and restart steam, hell reboot your computer for good measure. That ought to trigger the update and get you going. :)
Black screen/crash on launch:
- Fixed several access rights violation errors, which should take care of a lot of the black screen stuff. - We’re now shipping with OpenAL32.dll, which should fix the game just refusing to launch for some people. - If you're having issues with these things after updating. Please comment here.No License:
- We pushed a fix that should take care of this for most users. If you still have the menu grayed out then let us know.Intel HD cards:
- This is a tricky one, we’ve seen a lot of different bugs relating to these cards, so while we gather more info and work out what’s causing the problems, we’ve added a warning for people with Intel cards, just to let them know that it could be a problem. We’ll let you know as we have more info.Other:
-Fixed “Failed to update buffer data” issues. This was causing some people’s sound to pause at certain moments. -Fixed the random farm that was spawning wherever it felt like it. -Fixed the earthquake damage notification that was appearing way later than it should have.
Raw dev version:
v0.1.3880-beta
