So I've seen people wanting to have an endless, continouisly generated world. There's probably a reason they didn't do that to begin with. Savegame bloating? Lag? Who knows. Well, we've been having a discussion on the Steam forums about this. Seeing as these forums are more active than the Steam forums, I wanted to re-post what ideas we got here. This is 1:1 copied from...

Hi, it's me again. My current building project is starting to look good. Outer shell is almost complete, rooms are seperated. So I'd like to share this on some platforms once done. However, none of the Overlays seem to work. Yes, there is the in-game screenshot function, but these are not as easily shareable as Steam screens. Furthermore, I use Shadowplay a lot in other games, the overlay doesn't work here. Any ideas on how to get this to work? On another...

Hi, so I started another huge building project a few days ago. As all my projects, I started in Explore mode, just because I think building in it is much more exciting and rewarding than in creative mode. What I was going for this time was a southern-states Mansion, heavily inspired by Dunleith Mansion, Natchez, Mississippi. Look it up, it's a gorgeous building. After placing the outer ring (Pillars and foundation), I started constructing the west wall of the...

Hi, so I was building a house ispired by this style of buildings: I just liked the idea of having a green roof with vegetation on it. My version is single-floored and was intended to have a flat full-glass front on both sides. Unfortunately, there's a massive problem here: Having the dirt on top seems to make the "house" a cave. The horizon turns pitch black, fully invalidating the glass front and the panorama from the living room. A fireplace and lanterns light the...

For some reason that last duplicate picture won't let me delete it. Edited and deleted multiple times, just kept reappearing.

Just bought and downloaded the game on release, launching it instantly gives me an error message explaining there has been a crash and a crash report has been saved. I tried the usual steps, restarting PC, running as admin, verifying game files. I am hesitant to refresh my Graphics card drivers (Just did that a few days ago, download takes too long due to slow internet and I don't have time for it right now). I was told to disable Rivaturner, EVGA...

Hi, this will probably my last post. It finally works. I got Escape From Tarkov and Cities: Skylines, which both showed the exact same error message. I eventually reset my PC to factory settings, then installed all aviable Windows Updates without upgrading to 8.1. It runs smoothly now, and looks great. I'll be playing this for a while now. Thanks a lot for the help, guys! See you around!

So here's an little update: I still haven't upgraded to Win 10, I still haven't built a new PC. Ylands still won't launch. There is news though. I have recently bought Escape from Tarkov, which is giving me the exact same error. Seems like this is a problem on my end.

That sounds like it might work. I've had problems whenever I updated to 8.1 so far, especially with my network. I believe the main issue is my utterly outdated receiver USB-stick, which appears to be incompatible with 8.1. I 've been meaning to get a new router for a long time and this might just be the excuse I needed. I'll think about it these next days, might be a while until I next post. Thanks for all the support, have never gotten this big of a response...

Might be worth noting, the patch that just dropped didn't fix it either.

Hey again, I had been laying low, waiting for a patch to fix it or for a response on my support ticket. I got one today. I doubt they read it. I was told to report the problem here and attach both output_log and dxdiag, both of which I detailed having already done in the sent report. So instead of making a new topic here I'm just gonna keep going here. The issue stays the same. Have not found a fix yet. Have tried everything listed before. Have not tried...

Hey Yood, First of all, thanks for suggesting a solution. I might try that later today. That's a really, really weird solution though. Maybe some problem with different authorization states? I mean I'm sure you have admin rights but... huh. Did you get the error message though? kimbuck, can I still get a trial version somewhere? I'd like to try it out in one way or another. Also wonder if a crack might work. Is it still illegal to crack a game if I paid the creators...

So from what you recommended... This apparently is a driver problem. Now, we've established that these new drivers don't really seem to fix this particular problem. There's a new one out today, I'll try that later... but not getting my hopes up. What about the other direction though? Could a driver rollback get me there? Day 3... really getting hyped again, watched some YouTube videos now, looks fun.

Tried moving the game files to another hard drive (as recommended in YouTube comments), launching from there gives the same error.

Also have a question: I just saw there's an option to create a support ticket. Should I do that? I already have this forum thread running on it, so would it be any good?

Hey again, downloaded the Driver package from provided link, then did a manual istall, first having the installer uninstall everything and do a clean install. Then restarted PC and downloaded today's 10MB patch for Ylands. Ran as admin and normally, in both cases, same error message as before. DxDiag after driver wipe and reinstall: DxDiag.txt New Crash folder, generated after driver updates: Bummer.

Thank you, sounds good. I'll start downloading now, might take the entire afternoon due to slow internet. Happy to do it if there's a chance it helps. Also, I noticed something special about the Ylands installation that's different from the usual Steam installation process: After downloading, upon first launching the application, normally I would get a Steam window popup, saying its installing VCRedist and I believe DirectX too, before launching the game itself...

I can't really tell, though I think Windows is doing it - using the Ylands logo in the taskbar. As you see, all I can do it "Ok" or "X" out. Messing around with Compatibility Option earlier prompted Windows to ask wether the program was run correctly, upon saying "no" it just offered other compatibility settings - Tried all of those, no change. Attached: screenshot of error message.

Thank you, here's the new DxDiag.txt

So... Can't figure out what's going on. It's been nearly a day now, and I've tried just about anything. Here's what I tried: -Verifying Game Files using Steam -Restarting Steam and Restarting PC -Launching .exe as admin and launching Steam as admin -Shutting down Firewall -Getting newest Graphics card drivers -Fully uninstalling and doing a fresh re-download of Ylands -Closing all antivirus and and antimalware applications before launching. -Setting .exe...

Hey there, Just did a full and clean reinstall of Ylands on Steam. Still nothing - Still need help.

Same issue here, except I am getting the error message instantly. Tried pretty much everything now, don't know what to do... There doesn't seem to be a fix aviable at the moment, guess I have to wait for updates. 12 bucks well spent.

Hi again, so I ran the download overnight and installed the new GPU driver today, then restarted my system. I am still getting the same error, the game still isn't playable. I'm out of ideas at this point. Need help...

Not great news but very helpful. Sounds like it might work, so I'll run the driver update overnight. Thanks a lot. John, my PC Specs are the following: GTX 760 1.5GB Intel Core i7 4770 With 12GB DDR3. 1TB HDD, Running Win 8.0, plenty of free space remaining. Attached: DXDiag as .txt DxDiag.txt Thanks again, I'll post on updates tomorrow. P.S.: Should I expect a Day-One patch tonight?

This is marked as resolved, yet I do not see something declared as the solution. I am having the exact same problem, so I'd like to know how you fixed this.
