Update to v1.12.6

Dear community v1.12.6, an stable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager Looks like I made a tiny mistake that will cause to crash the game for literally everyone To fix it I went ahead and quickly made v1.12.6 a stable release containing a fix for this. The reason was that the game used to ship with 10 main menu background images which change once per week, but at some point we exchanged them with 8 new ones without telling the game about it! I've now fixed that and made it so that the game also no longer crashes if any of the background images are missing. Apologies for the inconvenience. I've meant version v1.12.6 to contain a few more fixes and have some more testing done on it, but an early release of it is better than no working game at all, so these will have to wait for v1.12.7 it seems. If you want to stay on v1.12.5 Create the files assets\game\textures\gui\backgrounds\mainmenu9.png and assets\game\textures\gui\backgrounds\mainmenu10.png, for example by duplicating mainmenu8.png. The path can be found in your Vintage Story game installation directory, usually %appdata%. Game updates Fixed: Game crashing on startup View full record

Dear very quickly growing community I've been flooded with support requests and emails. So far it's only been me that is handling those and I'm starting to seriously struggle to keep up with them. This means you might need to wait for a while until I can respond to them. Please hold on while I will try to scale up the operations! Thank you Hint: For those who did not receive their game key, please make sure that you've checked your Spam folder, it may have ended up there. Hint2: If you still have troubles getting the game key and really don't want to wait: You can buy another key from itch.io and humble store, which is more reliable and then request a refund for the one purchased on vintagestory.at [Edit:] I should have responded to all support tickets and emails by now, and the VS Team is now able to help as well!

Dear quickly growing Community v1.12.5-rc.1/rc.2, an unstable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager It seems that all previous versions of the game have an issue where when you set up a dedicated server, any new world will generate with the patchy climate configuration. This ends up making some players spawn in a hot and wet climate where there is little food available. If are a server owner and you'd like to fix that here's some solutions that come to mind: Stay on v1.12.4: Fly around in creative mode (/gamemode creative then F3 to fly, F2 to speed up), find a better spot, then set up 2 teleporters between there and spawn and link them up. You can find the teleporter in the creative inventory (Hint: Teleporter, not translocator). That would let new players find more food and keep the current world. Stay on v1.12.4: You can correct the mistake in the serverconfig.json and then create a new world, see below for instructions Install v1.12.5-rc.1 or wait until stable, then create a new world Single player worlds are not affected by this issue. Beyond that this release contains multiple bugfixes and a few small tweaks. Screenshot by Wayward Game updates Feature: Can now take torches out of a torch holder by right clicking Tweak: Copper/Tin spawn balancing Standard mode: 20% more surface copper deposits Exploration mode: Doubled surface copper and surface tin deposits Wilderness survival: Doubled surface copper deposits Tweak: Fleeing sows and boars are now 33% faster Tweak: New sprint animation for drifters and they are now also seek and flee a bit faster Tweak: Added sub-command "/land claim allowuseeveryone [on|off]" to grant use access to everyone. not tested yet. *hides* Tweak: Attempts to fix dead animals floating up to the top block. Might break other stuff Tweak: The falling block sound is now considered an ambient sound and is thus affected by the ambient sound slider Tweak: Added debug logging to find various rare crash and freeze bugs Tweak: A newly installed game now starts in full screen by default Tweak: Updated credits page and german translations Tweak: /stop now has an optional arg for the programs exit code Tweak: Added experimental "spawnRadius" feature to randomize player spawn points, not optimized or well tested yet. Tweak: Small performance improvement in the animation system (Technical info: Don't update the walking speed on every single frame) Fixed: Game not shipping with oalinst.exe, causing some system to not play any sounds Fixed: Firestarter not mentioned in the firepits interaction help Fixed: The carcass block that spawns after harvesting an animal was offseted Fixed: Unable to get nuggets from crystallized ore Fixed: Game crashing when smithing all the way to the blocks boundaries Fixed: Farmland not getting watered by rainfall if a crop is growing on it Fixed: Minor UI alignment issues in the fire pit and dialog title bar Fixed: A revived player is still on fire Fixed: Game crashing when typing a decimal point in the world edit ui on some systems Fixed: Might fix loose stones spawning in water during worldgen Fixed: Hotfix for a bug that causes dedicated servers to generate worlds with patchy climates instead of the default realistic climate bands. Fixed: Block interaction help overlapping issue on certain gui scales Fixed: Should fix locusts up side down when walking on walls Fixed: Able to put dress pieces on armor stands Fixed: Minor graphical glitch with metal fences API Feature: Added ICoreServerAPI.InjectConsole(). Useful for piping server commands through a mod. Patchy climate fix: To make dedicated servers in version 1.12.4 generate realistic climate bands, you would need to shut down the server, open serverconfig.json replace "WorldConfiguration": null, with "WorldConfiguration": { "worldClimate": "realistic", "gameMode": "survival", "temporalStability": true, "temporalStorms": "sometimes", "graceTimer": "0" }, and then generate a new world. The bug should be hotfixed in version 1.12.5. View full record

No, but interesting idea

I see, thanks. Unfortunately, at this point I am unable to fix this as I cannot reproduce the bug on my end. You could play on a windows computer, there the mouse works flawlessly, alternatively feel free to request a refund through a support request. Sorry for the bad news

Dear Community v1.12.4, a stable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager So turns out I accidentally introduced a bug in v1.12.3 that caused a huge super moon for the first 10 seconds then it switched to daytime.

Tweak: Increased the chance for clouds by a bit, which reduces the chance for rain a bit. Increased the chance of clear sky by a lot for hot and dry areas.
