Various Bugs On Mac

Bring up Finder and press Shift-Command-. to make it display invisible files. In your home folder, you should see a folder called ".config". Navigate to ".config/VintagestoryData, and you will see a file called "clientsettings.json". Edit that file in your preferred text editor (TextEdit, VSCode, etc.) and look for the line:

"selectedBlockOutline": true,

It was line 67 in my file. Change the line to read:

"selectedBlockOutline": false,

Save the file, start Vintage Story, and you should be good to go. This fix worked for me.

My config file didn't have selectedBlockOutline (made sure it was rc-1, downloaded unstable again just to be sure), and inputting the proper line in both .json and .bkp files unfortunately haven't worked. However, perhaps I was putting it in the wrong order? I tried counting lines. What were the settings before and after yours?

[CalebRaven]

I downloaded the stable 1.16.5 and applied the .json fix as listed above, and the disappearing HUD has gone away and I can see block interaction help.

Thank you for continuing to try, Tyron, and thanks for finding the .json file Vincent!

Tried 1.16.5 stable on my M1 air yesterday. Here are a few observations:

• Requires launching via `mono vintagestory.exe` otherwise mouse is unresponsive in game (works in menus, but not in game)
• Block outline indeed makes the HUD disappear - the option `selectedBlockOutline` works as a workaround
• Knapping is almost impossible because the HUD disappears there as well (probably same cause)
• Game at 2560x1440 regardless of video settings runs very sluggish, e.g. the mouse has input lag of I'd say about 100ms and visibly trails movement with the hand

My suggestion to you: drop the macOS support, I doubt it's worth the effort to get it halfway as stable as the Windows version. You'd probably save a lot of time that you can spend on improving the game.

Weirdly enough shift command does nothing, do i need to type it in somewhere?

That period at the end is significant. You need to hold the Shift and Command keys and press the period key. Sorry about that—I can see that it's a bit ambiguous in the post.

No need to apologize, only thing is that it somehow doesn’t do anything, might there be something im doing wrong or are there other ways to open the files

Outside of doing the listing and editing in the terminal, I don't know of a way. When I open a new Finder window and navigate to my home folder I see the usual set of subfolders. Then when I press Command + Shift + . (period), Finder shows the hidden files and folders, including the ".config" folder. The keys I'm using are the ones circled in the attached picture. Hope this helps.

Thankyou very much for the help, managed to get into the config files, only cant really seem to find the selected block out line thing, though i first might need to update the game to 1.16.5 as i saw that might fix it too

Yes. I think that config setting was added in 1.16.5, so that should work.
