    Can you check what your setting under "Controls" is? Is it on "Autodetection"? (see attached) 

    If not, you can try switching it to "Mouse & Keyboard" which should help BUT it will permanently disable any controller or gamepad controlling so you will have to use mouse and keyboard only. 

    If this doesn't fix the problem, please do let me know! :)

    That worked!  I'm fine with that as I don't use a controller to play ylands.

    They have said it has to do with security issues regarding the monetization. 

    Also Ales has said it had to do with the server upgrades.  I don't see hiw not wanting to lose money is a "d!ck move."

    Ylands has a dedicated server for over 2 years. 

    Active pinned thread still exists with no indication on the OP that this feature is getting scrapped. 

    The same thread even has indications up till this november that has no hint that this feature is going to be scrapped.

    At the 11th hour this feature is ripped out of the release, with no indication that it is a future feature once issues are worked out.  Just removed.

    Regardless of the reason, d**k move.

    I rented a server the other day, just to discover right there after that I could have rented a shared game instead for much less, which would have served me just as well. Is it possible to regret such a purchase and get my coyns back, so that I may purchase a shared game instead?

    Kind regards,

    I'm guessing you are going to have much better luck contacting support vs posting on the public forums.  At best a mod will probably tell you to open a ticket.

    They clearly haven't since it has been said that they aren't ready,  and I can not load my game and get it working.

    And to your second point, I think you are right because they have always worked.

    My point is the loss of access to the customer server files is not related to Nitrado being ready, as they are not likely going to steam like I would to get the files in the first place.

    To tie it back into the point in this thread, BI clearly has figured out how to run a dedicated server, as I can pay to run one.  They led us all to believe for the last 2 years that this would be a downloadable option for end users, given we could get them for years.  I haven't gone back but I would bet it was even in a roadmap somewhere.  However at the 11th hour they chose to shut that option down.

    They clearly could give us that option as they have working server code.  They have chosen not to.  While they are allowed to change their mind.  I understand anytime I buy into an EA title things may change before release.  However the timing of this IMO is a jerk move and as far as I can tell is based on wanting an income stream.

    That's probably why Nitrado isn't working yet.

    I highly doubt it.  I expect Nitrado will get the server files from BI, which they clearly have since they are renting servers.

    The files are no longer available for end users to download.  Given that these files never made it out of beta and were always buggy I doubt the files we as users had access to are even the same as what BI is using for renting servers.

    And I'm not sure that those who use a server in their home or job won't be able to host for free. What the devs said is they won't be supported. But they have never been supported in my experience. I am not sure that means they won't work.

    Currently you cannot as the files necessary to download and run a local dedicated server are no longer available.

    I understand your dismay. However, having suffered through nearly 2 years of servers being jacked up, if they will actually support the limited options we have, I'm just going to deal with it.

    By the same token, if they are selling dedicated servers it seems to me that they have managed to make some solid server code...

    And I agree, sadly this is one game that my gaming group has done very little multiplayer due to the frustrations involved with multiplayer options.

    Do you mean a server in your basement? Or do you mean the option that is STILL in the game to locally host?

    Given that the game is free to play, it seems to me that a revenue stream might be important.

    Basement/datacenter wherever it might be.

    The point is this option for a dedicated server was available pretty much since the game was released in EA.  I bought ylands 2 years and a day ago, and the first thing I did was sign up for the dedicated server beta.

    Now I understand early access means things might change.  But there was a clear precedent that the dedicated server would be an option up until just before the release when they cancelled it and gave us only a paid option for a dedicated server.  IMO that's a d**k move.

    I am confused at what the OP is stating, as if there has been some kind of tremendous wall setup to have you pay to enjoy the game, which is not the case, unless you want 8 people in game I guess. I'm asking in a rhetorical sense. I also looked over at the steam reviews and most people seem to be confused as well.....basically, the game is free to play for mini games that have been created by the community but still costs the same as it used to for the exploration aspect AND you can still do that for free in a password protected game with friends, you also do not have to pay for it again if you bought the game originally that contained everything together before 1.0....so i'm confused as to what people are complaining about. 

    One key piece is that we had the option for a free locally hosted server right up until release.  Many of us were counting on this to be a thing given the dedicated server has been there since the beginning of early access.

    Now if it is simply not ready and it will be out later fine, but so far it seems it was just axed in favor of a revenue stream

    Hello,

    I followed this tutorial:
     

     

    but I receive an error: 

    
Steam>app_update 710560 -beta public_alpha -betapassword YlandsDsPublicAlpha651 validate

ERROR! Password check for AppId 710560 returned error Failure.

    I do not really find a solution on the forum,

    do you have an idea?

    It seems they decided to not give us our own dedicated server option anymore.  You can rent one, or run it from your PC (not dedicated) or their shared savegame feature.
