I ask similar thing like that.. Lets see if they answer it..

Oh well.. I guess, my time zone and yours is not that far apart.. but their time zone.. I guess we need to wait until evening..

Awesome. First of all, Monday update is really wise decision. Since 0.6 as I've been actively roaming around in this community (Forum or In-game), Friday update is like nightmare in the weekend. Will wait for your detailed explaination either in Monday or future weeks. I'm looking forward for next awesome updates, keep up the awesome works, Ylands Team!

lol, thats just a joke, I'm sorry if my post (below) doesn't sounds right to you.. maybe that laugh emote doesn't strong enough to have meaning if its joking. Oh well back to the topic, since playing and to get fully discovered islands in Explore mode from scratch is takes time, I decide to just compare my old save game and your savegame with their output_logs. I tried to load my alltime singleplayer savegame (because I only play MP until now after this one), everything works fine (there are lag here and there especially when the game loading new objects which is normal for 6 years old hardware) for about 2 hours fully rediscover 11 islands, my HDD and others seems working normally as expected(no 100% HDD active time for longer than 10 seconds and no intensive Write or Read/sec from Ylands.exe, RAM is fully used, CPU working normally). And then I tried to load @Onedown's savegame, because savegame in singleplayer also works based on BI ID(like multiplayer), so I need to create new character and spawn at first island. Glad that your base is on first island and you don't activate the barrier. I'm quickly take all stuff from Onedown's character then flying around the island. I found huge tall castle there. Is it generated random structure? because I never found that one in MP. And as always, big structures demands pretty big power to load as well. I played for about 30 minutes and the game just freeze longer than 5 minutes (which is not normal). I did check the Resource Monitor, HDD shows 100% Active Time and Ylands.exe is on intensive Write or Read/sec above the System. So conclusion, something strange happen in Onedown's savegame. Good thing it's not hardware problem I guess.. Output_logs after I played in my old savegame: output_log.txt output_log_clean.txt EXPLORE2(1).rar (my old savegame) Output_logs after I played Onedown's savegame: output_log.txt output_log_clean.txt

Just to make sure, did you do that at disk where Ylands installed? If you did chkdsk to "C:" while your Ylands installed on "D:" thats explain nothing. If software only behave weird on yourself not another user, then there is something wrong on your side. Anyway everybody have their own opinion, we're here to help you and devs to make things as clear as possible, and hopefully get solution.

Daamn, while I'm absent, there is another funny pictures thread? Oh well I might need to upload aswell.. Here is from my old library " Trying to tame mutated Alpha Wolf with roasted fish "

lol, thats too much.. Software won't destroy your hardware unless the hardware already malfunction or have sign of dying. After I read your other post, try to scan your hard disk for bad sector, just to make sure everything is not hardware related, defrag will not do anything to bad sector. And my suggestion, don't use windows chkdsk(most of the time if chkdsk found bad sector, it will freeze too long), use other software like Macrorit. I know its heartbreaking , my hard disk got bad sector recently, at first I only experience the system will freeze for certain access of software/file. At the end, I realized that software and files which make system freeze is because they're literally at where bad sector detected. There are temporary solutions to save your old hard disk, feel free to PM if your hard disk have bad sector in it. Good luck!

Hmmh, it never happened to me while playing Ylands both singleplayer and multiplayer.. It happened to me when I played neighbour's game "latest realistic medieval", it's due to my potato beast hardware push really hard to it's limit (only 1 GB RAM left for OS to run and 20-40% hard disk Active Running Time left while that "latest realistic medieval" running ). Can you upload your dxdiag report here too?

Just to update current OP's condition. @Alenea said, "Hello Velocifer, Dominik, Ane and Ales Ulm… new update: I totally forgot that this laptop had a another firewall called ZoneAlarm. I thought to give it a try in uninstalling it and it worked! Problem has been resolved and our daughter is back in the business of enjoying this wonderful game! Thanks so much for your patience and help. Hope others will learn from our mistakes. Cheers all!" Note: OP's problem is solved, if you have this problem permanently try to look out for firewall/protection/network software, disable/uninstall it, then try to launch Ylands. As Ales Ulm said, this problem usually will not be permanent, keep trying..

lol, it seems like another side of my story.. I was on Polar biome, exploring whats new in there.. Out of nowhere I hear polar bear growling, suddenly she is behind me.. At that moment is where panic moment coming and I'm dead.. Respawn to first island, I found boat floating freely at shore of someone base.. "I need that boat.." in my mind said.. I never saw the owner online anymore, he might be ok if I borrow his boat.. then quickly I prepare for long sailing to polar biome, grab boat and straight to polar biome to take my old stuff.. After successfully get my old stuff back, I go back to my floating base and wait if that boat's owner come back. Until my server reset, I never see him back.. So, Thanks to whoever it's. Sorry I kinda stole your boat..

You must be an architect.. Your creativity is beyond crazy amazing.. I like that pooper.. Did you combine that with stool or something to get sitting animation?

I believe at the stable version in the future this such a thing will be available. If not by Ylands devs, then there is mod. Why not right now you may ask? Take a look at Creative mode generator, it works but has so many flaws. As you can see, currently in each big update Devs always polishing explore mode generator. No players can set its randomness, why? Oh well, there are might be big plans for that. Just wait.

@TheClockArm Awesome, I might start to do private chat to all creators whose have stuff that I used in my map. Thanks and welcome to another side of Ylands.

Hey I just got new error report with crash.dmp and error.log in it (Maybe just new directory(?)). Its located in "C:\Users\..\AppData\LocalLow\Bohemia Interactive\Ylands\Crashes" Long story short, My character got propeller pack bug, I tried "/killme" command to kill myself and see if it will fix the propeller pack issue somehow, but nope. The result is game breaking. When /killme command executed, my screen become grey but my character is freeze, can't do anything or move and dead screen don't show up. So I decided to re-login to the server, after that dead screen show up, I clicked "New Character", create character menu show up, but after that menu, my screen just flickering, if I press alt+F4 the crash notification show up.. I tried twice so I have 2 crash report. Here: Crashes.rar [Update] Oh well technically the menu does something, but not like what I was expected..

Wonderful addition! I'm getting bored with houses..

Awesome, don't push that programmers too hard, or they will have no life! Even though they already had no life.. But they're creating life! I know it's old joke..

Voted, I like it, this thread more positive than other.. even tho that makes my other suggestion lower.. All good suggestions should be up there!

@TheClockArm Hello, can you share your creation in the workshop? In composition would be great, I probably will use it for my big map scenario. Don't worry, I'll make sure to put credits for all of not-made-by-me stuff. Thanks.

hmmh, I'm not sure about guardian armor make you invincible. But when I'm starting become immortal, I wear guardian armor.. I didn't need to eat, I can breath underwater, No damage being applied to my character(from animals, and player shot my head, or falling damage). My health bar become yellow just like when you equip "Creator Cube" but without cube logo beside it. Here is my thread about my immortality in Official server.

Hello I'm back I'm successfully reproduce my problem "Cannot resolve destination host", which is makes me lead to DNS problem, either my LAN card or router that causing it. Here is my logs; output_log.txt output_log_clean.txt @Alenea sent her/his log to me, and after I look into it, it has similarity with my logs. Here is what I did before getting this error "Cannot resolve destination host", unplug my internet cable and plug it in again. The symptom seems similar, Steam says connected but I can't open any website (Youtube, Google). From the log, I think the game successfully have token and send it to bistudio, but the response said error. To fix my error, I need to restart my computer. So my guess is something caused by Alenea connection, it could be port that blocked/closed, or proxy, or something else.. I'm not an expert at networking..

yep, 9/10? damn, only for the lucky one then.. Does your "multiplicity" means that you will have doppleganger entity ID? I did successfully create new character after a while without problem, but my PB doesnt recognize me, I don't have new PB.. it's as I stated in this thread aswell;

Yes he was playing with me in Official server. And maybe thats why he sounds so frustrated.. @Baz Foobar your idea "Once you drop it and activate it, you should have a minimum amount of time before you are allowed to pick it up again." should be implemented! maybe it needs like 2-3 real life days to be able to pick it up again or more "harsh punishment".. I can't think what is "more harsh punishment" right now, my brain seems don't really like to think..

Sadly if Protective Barrier (PB) can be picked up in current system, there will be consequences. Here is potential exploits I can think of: Someone will claiming rare resources with PB. Griefers can exploit that to make prisoner of offline players. They will willingly use that PB because technically they're able to pick it up again. That will make multiplayer mechanism broken, why? Simply because player can have moving indestructible shield.

I think you should add [Spoilers] on the tittle of this thread. I believe @handofthesly and the others have list for that? It's based on my experience: Saltpeter, Sulphur, Gold, Clay can be find inside cave at any biome except polar biome. Saltpeter (most of the time) is common at temperate biome. Sulfur/Sulphur (most of the time) is common at arid biome. Copper (most of the time) will not or rarely available at starting island. Let me know if I wrote something wrong.

nice camera positioning at 2nd picture, I like that. Moon shading, awesome lighting angle shining the step stones, only downside is (I think) that palm tree which blocking the awesome house.
