Blacksmith is sabotaging account transfer

[YellouBee]

The launcher was working fine 2 days ago when I downloaded it and Dark and Darker but then I found out the transfer was not yet available. Now that the transfer is implemented Blacksmith fails to update and wont even re-install the game so I am unable to get the code.

Can you uninstall blacksmith and reinstall it?

[YellouBee]

I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything. Even redownloaded the launcher installer and redid everything. Made sure I took ownership of all the files seperately in case there was some access issue and nothing is installed in program files. Blacksmith is just unable to update the pak files. Even tried the trick of replacing the game files with the steam installed files that worked in a different thread but it doesn't work for me. My blacksh*t launcher just goes back to "update" state and fails. This dogwater app barely even runs. Clicking any buttons even makes it hang for up to 2 seconds.

The launcher is unable to update OR reinstall the game.

Can someone else help you out? Like get a friend to do it for you? or another PC you can try it on?

Bro thanks for trying but I don't care enough to keep trying. Imma see if I care enough to retry some other time when they maybe fix their dogwater system. This code should NEVER have been a in-game thing in the first place but I guess these devs are just insistent in shooting themselves in the foot at every turn.

I wouldn't necessarily agree with those comments. The devs make mistakes sure, nobody is perfect, but i've been playing for 9 months and i assure you they are hardworking and dedicated to the game. I'm sorry to hear about your bad experience but it does sound like a pretty obscure problem. All you can do is the above mentioned and/or submit a bug report on the discord.

Good luck

I had the same issues before i manage to fix it try to use a free vpn i used proton , use the vpn before launching the blacksmith launcher and wait till it finish and play the game with the vpn link it to steam once on steam you don't need it, hope this helps

I just installed and linked yesterday. Turn of f your VPN until linked.

The annoying part was that I had to install another copy of the game, and go into it at the same time I had to get the code out of the Steam version.
