PLEASE FIX YOUR GAME

[Ixis]

My wife and I greatly enjoy this game when it works, but every time we play it breaks about an hour or so in. It's always the same issue too, one of us gets stuck in a part of the UI and can't move.

It usually happens with me, and I'm playing as Demelza as my wife runs the main session. As far as I can tell, there's some mix-up or packet loss between our games and I get stuck.

Aside from the CONSTANT BUGS it's a fun game. I imagine this would've been one of our favorite games if you had taken the time to make sure it worked before releasing it.

Hi Ixis! I'm really sorry you're encountering these issues. Would it be possible for you to email screenshots of the two screens to [e-mail]? That'll help us debug the issue.

I know it's not ideal (and it's not 100% effective), but generally, if the host chooses "Load Autosave" from the menu, it should get you back to a decent state.

Hi Ixis. We just released version 1.05, which does solve an online bug where if you buy every item in the store, the client got stuck on the UI screen, which sounds similar to what you were experiencing. Please let us know if your issue is fixed or if it's not, please email screenshots of the out of sync situation to [e-mail]. Thanks!

Thanks! We wound up finishing the game later on that day, so we haven't tried it with the patch fixes.

We did try the load autosave feature, which would un-stick me for a time, until we reached the same locations which would make me or her stuck again. In the end we just didn't buy all the items in the shops, and for puzzles we would try a different combination of abilities that would hopefully fix the issue.

Using the magnetic lifts later on in the game would also usually cause an issue, particularly the part where you race the other player to collect the most trash.

Thanks for the info, Ixis. I'll investigate the crane challenge. Can you remember any other specific puzzles that had issues and what the issues were?

Here's what I remember, both of us were playing on different computers on the same network. We used my wife's save file, and she would invite me to a game through Steam. The issue was virtually always related to player 2 not accepting action inputs from the Xbox one wireless controller, or the keyboard except to open or close the pause menu.

The following actions would cause the controller issue,
+ Buying all the add-ons from the bike shop.
+ The two-player crane trash-collector challenge (I would steal from my wife's pile before the end, then I wasn't able to move my character, after a reload I only grabbed a shopping cart and stopped pressing anything and could keep moving.)
+ Exiting indoor locations on day 2 (we went to the main town and randomly exiting a shop would cause the controller to freeze.)
+ Running over the old-man's painting with the bike (the bike would coast along and then come to a stop.)
