How to: Report Bugs

Feel free to use the Steam forums to report your bug. For better communication, we recommend using our Discord[discord.gg]. We can often respond more quickly, and it may also be easier to share your player logs or screenshots.

For the report itself, the more details the better. For example, did you play online/local, were you client/host, what exactly happened?

How do I get the most consistent connection?

Playing Wild Woods online is working via peer-to-peer connection.
This means that once people are connected via Photon servers, the game host becomes the server. During the game, everyone connects and communicates with the host. If you’re interested in the technology behind the system you can visit Photon Engine[doc.photonengine.com].
If you experience lag during the game, we recommend that you try to switch the host to the person with the best internet connection. The further away your friends are, the worse your potential connection will be. Changing the region to match your friends (even if it's not your actual region) can increase lag problems.
In that case, the clients will see the biggest problems (e.g. lagging, rubber banding), and the host may have a smooth game experience.

How do I avoid the game crashing during boss fights?

Based on your feedback, we know that some of you are experiencing crashes during boss encounters. Because we want you to have as much fun as possible, we have taken a closer look at this issue.
The crash is most likely caused by a memory error or corrupted files. As a result, your computer isn't able to run Wild Woods as it should, and the game crashes.
Here is a further explanation and a way to fix it: Known Unity Bug - Unity Forum [discussions.unity.com]

If you are still crashing after trying the instructions on the Unity form, feel free to submit a bug report. The best way to do this is via our Discord[discord.gg], as we can respond to messages faster here.

Can't seem to make a couch coop game work, playing on a deck with controllers and it will automatically make two instances of a character joining and won't allow the deck not to be a controller. Me and my wife have not yet been able to play a single session because of being unable to select characters
