    Today I had to leave urgently and left my PC with the game being minimized or somewhere in background (maybe that matters).
    When I came back I was kicked from my server due to inactivity. After logging in again I found myself respawnt at the beach. I ran back to my corps and collected my stuff. Then I found out that I didnt have my map anymore.
    This is very unfortunate because I was the one with the by far "biggest" map on the server.

    For testing I created a new map. Its reset. :(

    Any advice? Or is there a possibility to reload a save game from like 5hrs ago? or even from yesterday?

    PS: My horse is gone as well. :(

    Thx for the update Ales. Your openness and honesty is awesome and appreciated a lot! 

    Nevertheless I don't fully agree with the following:

    * Host Unreachable
    This is a rather unfortunate issue. If you're among those experiencing it, first take a look here http://steamcommunity.com/app/298610/discussions/2/1620599015865077154/. The thing is that the absolute majority of possible causes resulting in this issue have nothing to do with Ylands itself (we're using Steam networking). The sad truth is that with pretty much every MP game there are some players who are experiencing this behavior because it may be caused by anything from an antivirus or firewall setting, their network topology or it can be related to their provider and as much as we would love for everyone to be able to play Ylands, these issues are something we can do nothing about. That being said we are still looking into this to make sure that there's absolutely nothing on our side which could be a reason for this as well. 

    First of all, I am a professional software tester, therefore I have some experience and a good gut feeling in analyzing issues in software. Additionally I am playing online games since more than 20 years and have seen a lot. ;) 

    Yes, there can be thousands of reasons why a host is unreachable and most likely the majority of people seeing this error message have the issue on their side.
    BUT there are also situations where I am 100% sure the issue is related to Ylands. Unfortunately I did not yet find a reproducible situation.
    Hints for that:
    - In some situations restarting the game fixed it.
    - Sometimes restarting my PC fixed it, BUT everything else was working. All homepages reachable, every game playable, communication tools working, no hiccups, no high memory/cpu/whatever load, etc.
    - I even had the situation: Connected to server, immediately disconnected, tried to connect again: host unreachable, reconnected, worked. (Yes, could have been a hiccup anywhere, but I know my PC and connection quite well. Its VERY stable.)

    In the end its a question about robustness of the connection process and here you could improve I guess. Anyways, this is not critical from my point of view since most causes are in the responsibility of the user.

    Keep up the good work, I love your game. Even though I have a professional allergy against bugs. :D

    Greetz,

    Hi all,

    I am Nils, 33, a software tester from Dortmund, Germany.
    Me and my friends own the server "Dortmund Citeeeyyy, ihr Beischlafer!". For now its a normal host game, but I will try to finally set up the dedicated server tonight. 
    I started playing on 26th of December and 2 days ago I found out I already played 72h. O_O

    This here is the self-help group for Ylands addicts, right?
