Can't create account

[Mimir]

Hi guys,

I downloaded the game and want to start the game the first time. I will get a messeage tath the game will try to create account true steam, after clicking 'okay' and waiting 1 second, I get an error message 'Could not create an account for you on the game server'. I tried allready to reinstall the game, restart my computer and giving the exe adminstration rights.

I would like to create a topic on the offical forum, but I can't because I don't get acces to the download page because I can't create an account. If nobody can help me, so please give me at least the download phrase so I can create an forum account and write in the bug report section.

I bought the game via steam and did not recieve any E-Mail.

I'm having the same problem, bought via Steam and it gives an error when trying to connect. No email and idk the download phrase to make an account on the site. I did look at the forums and this seemed to be an issue for a few people a while back, but Jason fixed it for them. At this rate, I might just get a refund on Steam and buy it through the official site :/

You don't get an email when you purchase off steam, and it's an open source game so I don't hink you can "steal" it.


From the Official Forums:

Steps:

1. If you're unsure if it's a bug, post here first to discuss it with others.

2. Once you're sure that it's a bug, it should be reported on GitHub by filing an Issue.


Issues with content should be reported here:

https://github.com/jasonrohrer/OneLifeData7/issues

An example of an content issue is: "Watering a baby pine tree causes it to grow up into a poplar." Or: "Fur shall is spelled incorrectly." Usually, content issues can be verified by checking in the tech tree (https://onetech.info) and making sure the issue is present there too.


Issues with the game program itself should be reported here:

https://github.com/jasonrohrer/OneLifeData7/issues

Examples of program issues are reproducible crashes, graphical glitches, or unexpected mouse behaviors. These reports should be accompanied by a detailed list of steps needed to reproduce, or the shortest possible recordedGame file showing the problem.

Also, if you've found a crash, you should try to get a stack trace for it by following these instructions:
