Infinite loading screen

[zetofzone]

Hi, great game.

I'm actually stuck in the loading screen (after the main menu, when I wanted to continue my saved game). I've 7 hours of play.

It happens after I quit the game normally, to go to lunch, and when I come back to play, I launched it again and doesn't start (it works well before that).


EDIT :
- I try to restart my PC ==> no
- I erase my savegame (via the main menu, after to have copied my saved game) ==> no
- I desinstalled the game, re-installed it ==> no

EDIT 2 :
It works again, I don't know why. I replaced my saved game and I was looking on the log (a lot of 204 and 404 errors and an error connecting on EPIC servers).

But I tried again, and it works.........

Same here stuck on Infinite loading screen.

Log off the game. Check integrity files in steam. Relaunch game. This method worked for me.

I ran a check with auslogics boost speed and had it clear up issues it located. A game does something odd I verify steam files and run a scan with auslogics and every game so far has started running fine again.

Super strange! I don't think we've heard that report before of it failing, not being fixed by Verifying Integrity, and then suddenly working again.

We've seen some peoples' saves fail if they build too much (like some players building stairs infinitely into the sky), but that's the main case we've seen. If you run into it again, we'd love to collect some data. Are you in our Discord yet? We're often helping troubleshoot in there!

same problem here. Played for hours but now can't continue my game. It just hangs on the loading screen.

Does it work again when you make a new save?
You can backup your saves in C:\Users\ <YourUserName> \AppData\Local\BoatGame\Saved\

+1 to Spacenorth and glass zebra to hopefully help address the immediate issue.

I'm a dev and it's also possible some sort of internet or networking issues are happening. Currently, the game does not do a great job of telling you if it failed to create or join a game and instead get stuck in a loading screen TT. This is definitely on my radar to address before EA, appreciate the reports & feedback!

Me too. Can even start a first game at all, when i click "start game" its inifitly loading.

Since, this behavior is repeatable (yes I have this, too) is there any chance to be helpful with this issue? I already stuffed the server executeable into the firewall to allow to listen to any port, I hoped to wipe out some network issues. What else can I try?
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Voyagers of Nera Demo\BoatGame\Binaries\Win64\BoatGameListenServer-Win64-Shipping.exe
The other one already was in the firewall before: D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Voyagers of Nera Demo\BoatGame.exe two rules for allowing TCP and UDP.

Did you play the game before the update?

Try this:

Properties > Installed Files > Verify Integrity of Demo Files

Updating the demo will remove any previous save file you had! Let me know if this works.

[Lazywolf]

it was freshly installed, and I already ran the check before posting, sorry.

Something changed. A friend told me, he now suddenly can enter the character creator. Yes, now I can, too. Whatever was done the last hours, it seems to help.

Good to hear! Sorry about the struggle, not sure what happened. D:
