Opening info page about Alpha has all the bottom buttons cut off on a 2560 x 1440 screen.

You can just make out the tops of the buttons and if you click the most left hand one it will take you into the game.
Have no clue what the other 2 buttons are for.Need to have a bigger window to display the buttons.

[SCHIGGY]

I agree

[✬JoseArcadioMorales]

So do I.

[Empanda]

i just had a bug where i was fighting some orcs and one of the big ones just moon walked across the map not carring about walls or any collisions

[Volkira]

DO NOT SAVE game inside a building or Caves.Only outside.
You risk your save being broken when restarting it.
I have had 4 save games break because of this.
Locations have been random.

Usually breaks after I save a game inside a building/cave where the fight might go wrong.When it does and you try to reload the previous save it just crashes.
Then you have to start all over again.

Just reporting a strange bug here

I was trying to stack some potion, so it doesnt take 3 slot out of 4 potion into my inventory and suddently, the game crashed. I got no error message whatsoever, only that when ive restarted the game and loaded my savegame, I found out that my archer lost is weapon and i had no quest anymore... had to restart from the beginning because i had no weapon to equip my char ^^

[mazak]

The lost of my primary objective is more of a problem than the loss of my weapon though

[Kein Zantezuken]

Yeah, it is an old bug when reloading a save you lost the weapon.

[mazak]

what about my quest ! ^^

[lokitrixter]

What you did was trigger a known bug. It's a crafting bug that if you craft something that stacks and you already have one in your inventory then the game will crash.

damn ! how do i avoid this ?

[lokitrixter]

What I do is carry barrels and containers around with my and keep items in them. If you want to stack things just right-click to take em out of the barrel/container.

Alright they stack up as you remove them from that container and it fix that crash but still these thing gotta be fixed, need an hotfix on that ^^

[lokitrixter]

They've stated that it's a high priority bug. So hopefully it'll be fixed soon. Although I've gotten so used to the workaround that I will probably use it after it's fixed
