    I remember a boat bug when the game was not released yet, some referred to it as "sea legs,"

    this occurred when a guest on your world tried to board onto your ship. Once updated and released on steam, people no longer experienced this and life was good. Unfortunately, my friends who play with me experience something very similar to the infamous sea legs I mentioned. Luckily it is not as severe, and only occurs when people are on the boat itself. Nevertheless this is still a pressing issue and is very draining for my friends and I alike.

    Extra Info: I don't know if anyone has made a post about this, I CBA to read through the replies above.

    As soon as I startup Ylands I get this error code with the option of quitting:

    Oauth/login: code: -1 API code: Message: Request Timeout

    I'm not sure what I should do from this point on, I've tried verifying game integrity but that did no good. Prior to this error I was trying to load into my friend's world. After being stuck on the 100% loading screen I decided to forcefully close the game. This happened right after I clicked "Play" again.

    Hello @blimmin I've been in similar situations. I've once traveled with friends for two hours only to starve at sea because we didnt prep enough food for the journey. The easiest thing I can tell you is: Make a map if you can and I'll explain why. https://ylands.gamepedia.com/Map

    Alright if you can craft this simply commit suicide, in-game of course,  you will respawn with your map on either the nearest island or on your original island. (Hopefully it's nearest island). 

    IF you respawn on a nearby island, make a raft and get back to your ship? I'm not sure what kind of boat you're on, if you're on a raft it's easier to just start again. 

     

     

    IF you cannot make a map and you're on a ship then I suggest you just continue on your voyage. If you're on a boat or a raft I'd just start over again.

    Hello there! I have mixed feelings about adding NPCs (or atleast the way you described them) to the game, because if you can have an NPC for everything (or most things), the game COULD become boring. It WOULD however, be cool if there were NPC tribes similar to the Ylands trailer where "Native Americans" could maybe run after you if they see you or something of that sort.

    I was trying to join @A3_Melle's server since we have a little co-op kind of thing going but he recently put a password on it to prevent others from joining and this means I can no longer join(I know the password to the server dont worry ;)). The screenshot should provide enough information. Unfortunately if you click "Back" in this situation (2nd screenshot occurs) you will be forced to quit the game OR spam ESC +  LMB and RMB.

    In order to make the game enjoyable for those on Steam, I feel like the boat bug where you get "sea legs" (as another user posted earlier on) should be a priority.

    Hello fellow reader, normally i'd give an introduction to something like this but I am eager to start playing again so here it is

    I played for a while this last week and I noticed some bugs and glitches with the 0.6 update (and I reported on it) but after a while of playing I started crashing from servers (many, many, many, many times) Unfortunately I no longer have the crash reports since I've tried reinstalling the game (and verifying game integrity through Steam but no success). Initially I presumed that the crashes were related to weird movement I was making in-game, for example swimming and randomly seeing the walking animation eventhough I was still swimming, but I thought nothing of it and just continued piling up the crash reports. After playing for a long time of not experiencing any crashes I decided to close the game. Some time passed and I was ready to get back on Ylands. I've been ready for many hours but Ylands doesnt seem to want me to play it. Everytime I hit play I get a black screen if I click once it becomes a white screen and a little box comes up telling me the game is not responding. While on the blackscreen I allowed up to 20 minutes pass but no results.

     

    I sent @Ane my crash reports before I did anything, so if anything, she can make it public.

     

    I also experienced this a lot:Ylands_171118_182100.thumb.png.db715fc880632d8f9c518a8ea6eedb00.png

    This was an endless cycle of me loading into the server. 

     

    Edit: I located the files and am posting them now:

    I'm 17 now so more recent games applied to me when I was a kid so my first video game is most probably not everyone's first video game so don't be shocked. The first thing that I had that screamed "video game" was a Gameboy Advance. The first game I ever played was Super Mario Bros 3. I don't have vivid memory of playing the game but do remember raging a lot, so no funny story unfortunately :/.

    In Explorer mode, I tried collecting wood from a Sumac Tree (slender tree with red leaves). I collected wood from the tree and ran towards it simultaneously, this popped me ontop of the tree.

     

    Edit: Apparently this "bug?" has nothing to do with collecting wood, instead it has to do with a branch which sticks off the side of it, I can walk up the whole tree once I'm boosted to this position.

    Edit2:It seems to be happening with more than just the Sumac Trees.

    YLANDS is a great game, through my efforts I'd like to ensure it stays that way. In Rust, by facepunch studios, almost every server has atleast one or multiple Zurgs, a large groups whose main purpose is to attack smaller groups, I think it'd be smart to avoid this in YLANDS. But how? by creating disease! make it so that people in large groups are more susceptible of contracting disease. I would refrain from making it impossible to group up in big groups but just make it harder for people who wish to do so (which would most likely force people to be in smaller groups). Maybe make disease spread through animals which you have to hunt in order to feed yourself? (Another suggestion is to add the ability to domesticate  and breed animals. which could ultimately eliminate disease over time?). There are animals in the game which are foreign to your island. For example if you spawn on a grassland island the common animals you'll find are; wolfs, bears, goats, and the list goes on. if you were to venture to an island that has a different climate and therefore different species of animals, the disease they carry could slowly kill you.  Let me know what you guys think, my feelings wont be hurt ;), so be as critical as you want. If my suggestion is redundant then say it is.

     

    Edit: I am unsure if I like my own suggestion so I'll leave it up for others to decide. I think the idea of germs is too complex to add to such a simple game, but I could be wrong.

    Whenever I'm playing and someone joins my world I get a negative FPS-spike (as in my frames drop to 0) for half a second. When this happens I do /lp which lists everyone's pings (minus yours) If you see something come up that means someone is in the server with you. It will give you their name and will also show you their pings.

               When I initially started up Ylands I felt as if I was extremely limited by the crafting system. With time I managed to get used to the system but it still confuses me from time-to-time. When you click an item you cant craft there may be an item you havent seen before. On the left side of your screen you see the necessary resources to craft the item. I think it'd be a great idea if you could click on the item and it would lead you to it's recipe.

    As an example: Making glass.

    You click on raw glass and the game brings you to the same interface you get when you open a Glass Forming Stand.

     

    I fail to see how this would take out any survivability of the game, and therefore think that it would only make gameplay more pleasing.

    Before I get into it, I just want to mention how great of a game this is and how much potential I see in it.

     

     

    Important note: This error only happens if you are a guest on a server. This bug only occurs when you step on the deck of the boat. I have yet to play single player but I doubt this bug appears there. This error occurs in all platforms. Explore, Creative and in the "More Games" option.

    What the error is: When you're on a boat, the game-play is uninterrupted. As soon as you get off the boat your character starts bugging out. It's kind of hard to describe but for example the walk animation remains when you enter water.

    My attempts: I've tried many different ways of getting on the ship.

    • Using the propeller pack to fly onto the ship
    • Jumping from a higher elevation onto the ship but the error persists
    • Tried using the ladder up and down the ship
    • Leaving and joining the game.
    • Suicide
    • Falling from a high elevation to break my legs and go unresponsive

    Some solution to this 1) die and select "respawn as a new character" since simply dying is not enough for fixing this issue 2) Creating a new account
