We found an issue in the save system, causing files to get duplicated and the game loading older versions of save files.
Your save files should be intact - workaround is to keep deleting the older saves in game until you see your most recent one. If you'd like to physically back up your save files, you'll find them under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<your_steam_id>\298610\remote\SaveGames
Please send us the files output_log_clean and output_log, you can find them in the directory \Program Files(86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Ylands\Ylands_Data
Please send us the logs that are located in the installation directory (steam/library/ylands/properties/tab-local-files/click browse-local-files button) under Ylands_data/output_log_clean.txt.
Sorry about that, we're looking into it! Could you please send us your dxdiag and output_log as explained here: https://ylands.com/community/topic/34-what-to-do-in-case-of-technical-issues/ ?
We just released a hotfix that should help with these issues. We would need logs from those of you still experiencing request timeout or steamapi init fail issues after the update.
The logs are located in the installation directory (steam/library/ylands/properties/tab-local-files/click browse-local-files button) under Ylands_data/output_log_clean.txt.
Thank you!
Update: 06/12/2017
Version: 0.6.41905
Extended request timeout to help avoid the OAuth/Login: Request timeout error upon entering the game
Extended diagnostics to identify cause of the /Steam Init :SteamApi init failed error upon entering the game
It looks like it's not an Ylands specific error. You could try the following:
-Restart Steam and/or your machine.
-Reset network adaptor: From a command prompt enter netsh winsock reset and restart your machine.
-Try adjusting settings for third-party applications, such as antivirus software or disabling it completely for the duration of update
-Try installing to a steam library on a different harddriv
Just to let you know, we are working on a possible fix for the 'request timeout' issue and some diagnostics to help identify the 'steamApi init fail' issue. Thanks for your patience!
