Hero Siege 1 can be played in local, here is how

[Keppihakkaaja]

Steam Library > Hero Siege > Properties > Beta > Choose the HS1 branch from the dropdown menu

The game only supports local play currently.

2.0 should have been a separate release. Or maybe you can choose at the start of the game if you're going to play the original or the 2.0, with you devs supporting versions. I enjoy both versions and would like to be able both if possible.

The reason for this decision was that we felt like selling the same DLC to players again in the new game would've been a pretty horrible move. Also we don't really have enough resources or capacity to support two games simultaneously. We are after all a team of 3 programmers, a server tech, 3 designers and an artist. We will be looking into maybe adding some sort of peer to peer multiplayer for the HS1 version and maybe even have it as a "separate" application in your library under the main game. Future tells what happens, but for now we are buried in work with the next season and have been working hard to iron out all the bumps & making the game even better :)

- What you did is still an horrible move
- You didn't have to support 2 games, the 1st one was done and will let as is, you have the right to say that you stop supporting a game and move on something else, every game aren't supported until the end of the world.
- Finlay, you can't ignore the fact that only a minority of players know about the Beta settings on steam, and only a few peoples will see this message.

What you did, this "choice", was a terrible one and you all your team know it (with the exception of one guy who don't care of everything), you can't ignore the reviews and the fact that what you did wasn't right.

You was able to talk about this with the community, make a survey and ask players what they think about this, but you didn't have so much consideration for players, it's pretty obvious that you just did what you want, with a big interest to grab more money.

You had 100 possibility to do all of this, but you did it wrong, and even if you don't admit it in public, you know that you are in a bad situation now.

I will finish with this:
There is never a bad moment to go the other way, even now you can choose to do it, accept that you messed up this time, and remove what players don't like (I mean the many bad changes you did), mixing the good things from 2.0 with the game in his previous state, before the release of season 2.
You can still do it, you will not be seen as fragile for doing this, it's the opposite, it's not that easy to accept that we failed and go back to fix things, a few little studio did it and you can be one if it, just open you eyes and listen your community because without you players, the game is nothing, and that the same for you.

You could have announced that the original game was nearing end of life, let people make local saves of their years old online characters, and released part 2 as a separate game. If you did that and never updated the first one again you'd still be getting less criticism.

This decision 100% screwed over many people who have been loyal to the game for years in favor of making a quick buck. And people hear that message loud and clear. The hilariously stupid comments coming out of your own discord are a megaphone telling every customer unhappy with the new game, "Your years of support mean nothing to us, and we'd rather actively ♥♥♥♥ on you than meet in the middle."

Which specific version is it? I don't want to choose this option and find my most recent pre-2 version overwritten with "barely 1.0".

This begs to be asked: What made you think changing a unique and interesting game into Just Another Diablo Clone would make it better?

hello

Thx for that and good choice to put the older release in the beta branch. The new one does not run under windows 7 due to eac .
And now it's working again for us.

[GawdAwful]

Just gotta say, L move never doing this for the OLD old game
You guys had THE best co-op wave survival, and you abandoned it for a cheap diablo style RPG. It's not my place to say what you should continue to work on, I'm just a player. But it is my place to tell you that you missed out on the ENTIRE audience for vampire survivors. That whole community could have been yours, but you abandoned a more unique game with less competition to make what seems like a clone of a massively developed franchise you will obviously never hold a candle to. A very interesting choice.

Hello :)

Thanks for your comment. I searched for how I can play this again on win7 and it showed your comment as one result.
Im just installing beta HS.

Cheers

Update: It say need Win10 or newer. :(
I think the problem is still the EAC.
Have you found a workaround? (Hero Siege 5.9.6)

Is there any way to disable EAC for HS1? As it is only local so I doubt anti-cheat realy need here. So I can play the game on my Win7 x64 Pro.

You can try launching the game directly, just create a shortcut for the regular exe instead of the EAC one.

Developer has left the chat...

Looking forward to that Hero Siege 0.5 version branch, which was more like Binding of Isaac before switching to ARPG.
