Toplitz tried to force us - Truth about co-op and instruction about, how activate co-op in Epic.

[Inferno]

Hello. Today i will tell you real truth about this game, publisher and about situation with co-op. And also will tell you how to make co-op work in the Epic Games. My name is Vartolu. I was one of those fans, who ordered full version of Medieval Dynasty in Epic Games when it was just released.

After some time, game was released in steam. That all changed when a greedy publisher decided to get more money. They got money from Epic Games at release of the game, but they want really more.

Devs made co-op update. If you know how games are developed, you realize that developing a game on Unreal Engine 5 it is impossible to release a build only for Steam. Unreal Engine is made by Epic Games. So, of course, all the co-op features are actually already working for Epic Games, but locked down by publisher.

I want to be clear. Devs, aka Render Cub, are innocent, they didn't nothing wrong. Only Toplitz Production made this decision, couse they wanted force game owners from Epic buy game in steam too. That's was their plan. And i want to thwart this plan.

And now final part. How i got proof about, co-op features works in the Epic Games? Me and my wife are really like this game, but we haven't enought money for buy it 4 times instead of 2 only cause greedy publisher wants it. Instead of buying game 2 times more, with heavy hearts we went to the torrent trackers and downloaded the new version of game.

We were really surprised at what we saw. Pirated version of the game connected with our Epic Games accounts and let us play co-op by Epic games (with the same names we have in Epic Games). It was definetely proof of thing, that co-op features are working in the Epic Games, but locked by publisher. They are already here! Co-op and patches in Epic Games is already here. If you will unite your Epic Games licensed version with pirated version of game - you will get working co-op! They just locked it from us for fool us!

Don't be provoked! Don't buy game twice! Just use your Epic Games account with licensed copy together with pirated version for get co-op features unlocked how they must be! Or better to wait Epic Games unlock (not release, couse it's already hidden implemented) than to give in to provocation.

You can say that pirating is bad. I am agree. But me and my wife bought already 2 copies of this game. Tricking people into buying your game twice is even worse.

I will not adverstice here torrent site where we got it, and and I'm not encouraging anyone to pirate games that you now own legally. All what i want to say - This is really bad publisher move to force people buy your game twice. This is disrespect for your players and your fans. Draw your own conclusions from this situation.

No one is forcing you to buy the game twice btw if you have it on Epic already...
Co-op has always been announced to come to the non-steam platforms (like Epic) Q1/Q2 this year.
So your official Epic copy will also be able to play co-op...
No need to go the illegal route with all the risks that come with it...

[RenderCube]

Hey, we are very happy that you bought 2 copies of our game and we hope that soon we will be able to update the EPIC Games version to the current STEAM version so that you and your wife can play the original version.

Of course, we condemn piracy of our game, because the sale of the game provides us with funds to further develop and fix the title for you.

Unfortunately, due to contracts and staff limits in the company, we could not deliver the game to all platforms at the same time.

[SwordsOfTheSouth_Toplitz]

We - Toplitz Productions - fully endorse the comment made by Render Cube.

You are accusing & implying reasons without a valid proof.
You acted illegal to get something earlier as it is intended (due to reasons above) by its very creators/owners. And you made your “findings” public.

On one side your enthusiasm for MD can be seen as a positive.
But accusing & implying publicly while at the same time confessing an illegal act is inadequate.

This is so interesting.Have you tried reloading your save? or changing the settings? updating your drivers?.

What do you mean, this has nothing to do with your post! It is as relevant as your post is to my game enjoyment, I payed once and got over 6 month worth of fun. Now if you please, let me get back to fun and leave you in your misery!

Ok, my conclusion: You are a moron. You probably believe in Jewish space lasers too.

[Wizard of Woz]

Wow this topic is embarrassing for the OP. How about instead of all that nonsense you posted, you just wait for the co-op release in a few months like everyone else.

RFM, or more to the point read the road map plan and patch notes, then you might have not wasted the time it took you to write your post, I on the other hand was entertained reading your fanciful delusions.
