The game is suddenly busted...

[bongerman85]

NO ATV at the derilect base its supposed to appear at. AND the grinders are not working on any parts of the bases. This is a critical bug. without being able to grind there is one tech category that is now completely inaccessible. No suitable transportation since the ATV does not spawn.

Seriously someone needs to take a look at this. It is happening in every game mode now, in campaign AND freeplay. Reinstall of the game is not a feasable option as i am relegated to only having access to a wireless internet source, so reinstalling the game will take the better part of a day.

What in the ♥♥♥♥ is going on here?

[bongerman85]

for the time being im going to roll back to the halloween update i guess... wow what a shame, not really having a great xmas here as it is. and now cant even celebrate the holiday cheer with one of my favorite games because i cant access the xmas content now.

please go to game settings on Steam and use the "verify file integrity" option, looks like something didn't download correctly, as this issue never occured to us during weeks of testing

If the problem continues please send us your Player.log and Player-prev.log files to [e-mail] for investigation.

i have already done so on the christmas update when the issue started. All files verified successfully. Please be aware that I was playing through a campaign mission for many many hours when the issue suddenly popped up on a load of the save game, I was in the free play portion for some time and had unlocked quite a bit of the tree before the issue appeared. I have sent the log files over to your team and have received confirmation of ticket creation.

It appears for the time being I am now FORCED to revert to the halloween update of the game in order to continue playing.

thank you for the log files, if you have a save file where the issue is reproduced (at least the missing ATV) please send it to us as well.

When the problem began occurring it has affected EVERY SINGLE SAVE FILE I HAVE! EVERY SINGLE NEW GAME! ITS UNIVERSAL NOW! I doubt that the save files are going to make much of a difference here. THE ONLY WORK AROUND IS TO DOWNGRADE TO HALLOWEEN PATCH!

From the logs you've sent I can see some mods were installed. Did you try without mods?

[bongerman85]

I just did, it appears that it is indeed an issue with the occupy mars tweaks mod. My apologies. We have experienced very little difficulty through most of the updates thru development early access process.

For the next time, keep in mind, especially mods digging that deep into game mechanics like this mod seems to do, need to made compatible by their authors first when major changes in an update happen ...

... so yes, if you want to keep that mod, you have to stay with the last working branch for it until mod authors update the mod. And while they reported their last update to be compatible for the anniversary update, they already then warned to use their mod due to the heavy changes ...

P.S.:
I’ve updated my mod to work with the new Anniversary Update patch. This update changed a lot in the game, so some features may still have bugs. I haven't had enough time to fully review the new code yet. The mod should work, but it might cause issues, and there’s a chance it could corrupt your save. Use it at your own risk. I won’t tolerate complaints about broken saves, okay?

... next time, instead of ranting, just think for the obvious, would ya?

People think I'm rude ... but for sure I'm really annoyed by ranting players ranting for no reason.

You're not rude. Just stating facts. I get annoyed with it as well.

and look who swings in with the co-sign. obviously i discovered the problem with the assistance of the developers. swinging in on the backside complaining about me ranting for being unaware of the situation is unneccesary. Hence why I typed "My apologies."

as far as the mod itself pulling a quote from months ago, when the mod was updated enough to be working is COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY! I was unaware that the mod itself would damage a mechanic in the game when it has survived multiple updates without any similar incident occuring, through game updates and without it being updated. IN ADDITION, it appears that my game updated to the newer version later than i originally believed it did. Hence why I was so frustrated that it seemed like it suddenly stopped working after a protracted period of time when i believed that I had been playing the update longer than I actually was.

Go find something else to complain about, other than players voicing concerns. The situation was resolved LONG before you came along. And a temporary resolution found, LONG before you came along.

SO... YES, RUDE AF!

Your rants still standing uncorrected by yourself in the bugs and announcement sections, even if you realized your own fault LONG ago, while other people reading your rants there, still get the impression it's the devs fault ... it's your turn.

edit:
By the way, I already told you in the beginning in your bug report that I couldn't experience your problem in my game, so that's a hint it's not a general bug for all like you ranted afterwards. I took my time to assist you by testing your described bug myself in my game ...

Why should I have known, that you mod your game if you don't even mention it in your report? That's part of the basics if you want to report a bug when using a mod ...

The game is unplayable without mods, at least for me. The stack size, or capacity of the battery,.. and so on, no thanks. So for me the game is unplayable without mods, and boring.

there is possibility to discuss about mods in separate forum here, on steam.


We understand modding, some of our devs were modders too.

The only problem is that sometimes we are criticized by players while not the game, but the mods cause problems, like in Bongerman case.

So our policy is - use mods if you want, we understand it and support modders, just please dont shout at us and get mad when mod breaks the game. First rule of modding - always be prepared that mod may break the game. We dont test mods, we dont test game with mods. You have game breaking bugs and you use mods please switch them off first and check if the problem is gone.

As problem is solved, i'm closing the thread.
