Fuck this game it's too hard + i lost my password and when i tried to recover it on website twice.... I didn't get any email (Yes i used my email i purchased the game with) Checked out every folder spam etc...I left the discord people were trolling me because i need help, fuck you
Sorry to hear you had a bad time. We hare happy to help - our official support channel is through the main sites support ticket system - https://www.vintagestory.at/support/
When requesting a password reset - please disable BitDefender, if you have it installed. It silently blocks all requests to our site, for no apparent reason and its the only application that seem to do that.
Also feel free to request a refund through itch.io.
I have a question. Normally I buy games and play offline LAN parties with my siblings. Will I need to buy this game per-PC we use it on? or is it perhaps similar to black ice for example, or factorio? (it makes sense for online games but some DRM is a real nightmare and also requires internet connections. this is what im worried about)
It is PC-independent, but you need one account for each player. They all need to log in once, after that you can play offline. For an offline LAN party you might need to set VerifyPlayerAuth to false in the serverconfig.json before launching a game server, otherwise I think they won't be able to connect
Smaller devs like the VS team usually don't do free versions of PC games, as it would drain their money. However, they do offer an old creative "classic" build for you to try out if that sounds interesting! https://info.vintagestory.at/classic
I am very interested in this game, and I see that it is a great game being independent.
I suggest you try to talk to Stadia Makers to take it to the cloud, it would be very good for a platform that is just starting where there is little competition and zero Minecraft.
I've noticed the "Early Access" sign on your homepage. Just wondering if you have a roadmap available for us to see? Or if not, when would you consider the game to be out of early access?
This game's really fun, I have one complain though: it's extremely annoying to find where you die. I'm pretty sure the reason is that in Minecraft you always spawn where you did at the beginning while in this game you should respawn in some random place nearby. So after getting killed by some pig, I have now lost all my progress.
I'm not the dev, but as far as I can tell, no, you don't have to. Simply download the Linux version of the game and login with your credentials as you did on Windows when you first started the game.
This is basically Minecraft but theres literally ALWAYS something to keep the player engaged. I love when theres lots of different systems, it makes the game so interesting! I don't currently have it yet, but I wanna get it for a bunch of my friends, that way we can do some crazy stuff :D
Hola, no todos los estudios indie tienen la capacidad de ofrecer sus productos gratis. El sistema de monetización Free-to-play funciona solo en juegos con grandes audiencias y popularidad, para un estudio indie de pocos integrantes en imposible ofrecer ese sistema. Si de verdad te interesa el juego, puedes intentar ahorrar hasta que tengas el suficiente dinero para comprarlo, apoyar a los desarrolladores hará que el juego sea más interesante y dure mas tiempo en el mercado y estoy seguro que ellos estarán por siempre agradecidos.
are you talking about: "Please note: After purchase, please redeem the game key - it's a special link to create your game account, which is necessary to log in in-game." or: "Vintage Story is an uncompromising wilderness survival sandbox game inspired by lovecraftian horror themes."
neither says where. i even got an email that said this:
"Download and install instructions from Tyron:
Please download and install as normal, then request the key that is supplied with the purchase, this should supply you with a unique link that let's you create your game account."
they keep talking about a key that i get with the game. where is it? is it coming through the post office? heck i can even log into the homepage where i now know i could have gotten the game cheaper, but that doesn't seem to help at all. in order to go the the "client area" i need the same log in info that need for the game, which is a bit of a catch 22. maybe the directions should read: 'go to the web page and create an account, and don't use any services to create an account' but if you are going that far why not: 'go to the website and buy the game direct and save money, you have to create an account there anyway.' that assumes that creating an account on the website there is what is needed and not some other place to create a game account.
got it. you can't get it through the app, but you can get it online. the app only shows the downloads and not the link:
originally i was able to select if i wanted to download the linux version, so maybe the very first time will show the key (probably not). so maybe telling people where the key is in that first sentence would be a good idea (on the itch.io website downloads screen).
Is clicking the "Get Steam Key" button supposed to show me a link? The link doesn't lead to anything. I Tried using the full text right after "gamekeycode=" and even the portion of that text up to the first "%" symbol. What is the gamekeycode?
Edit: Never mind, I was able to use the link after all, and it automatically filled the keycode blank for me. Idk what I did differently, but it worked
So I am having difficulties. Not with the gameplay or the game starting but with the resolution. I have a 55in TV that I use as my monitor and I currently cannot change the resolution of the game in order for me to actually be able to see what is on my hud as well as tool tips being displayed. Is there a way of changing it?
edit to add that i fixed it. apparently i was overlooking the setting to change the ui scale because everything was so tiny. :)
on the homepage it says: "If you do not wish to register a website/forum account, you can also get the game through the Humble Widget, on the Humble Storeor on itch.io" I bought it here on itch.io but the first thing it wants from me when starting is that i login somewhere, not even mentioning where. I paid over 20% extra for not having to create yet another account!
btw. the download is only the installer for the installer? it seems when using the itch.io app
Yes, currently you need a game account in any case, but it lets you skip the site/forum account when buying it from itch/humble. I've now added a notice to that paragraph on the site so its more clear. Sorry for the confusion.
The download provided on the itch.io site is the full game, I'm not sure about the itch.io app, I never tried that one.
Thanks for answering me,one more question,when i go to the vintage story site to buy the game,the game is called"game account" right? and when i buy it i will get the game on my email with the key?
No, currently there is no demo available. But if the game is not to your liking or doesnt work for you, I'm happy to refund it personally when bought on vintagestory.at and I think the refund policy here on itch.io is also pretty generous.
Hi, for Linux, could you add a "run.sh" or something? Because right now, none of the start-options on itch actually launch the game. I know I can install it, and then launch it with the desktop file, but that's just kind of strange, wish it would just work through itch right away :)
Also I don't like that install.sh *moves* the game data. Wouldn't moving the desktop file be enough? The install.sh could figure out the current path and change the desktop file so you don't have to move the game data :)
Anyways, the game looks great, I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun with it :)
this is like mine craft just more historical and makes the player do more than craft,the player has to build the sword,hunt,do more than just survive the night the player has to do hunt,explore,overcome,and be ready for what lies beneath the feet of the player that thing could be dangerous
This game is listed under "local multiplayer". For most games in this category that means two people can play on one device. Is this possible in this game? Are there third party tools to accomplish this? Would be nice to play side by side with kids, or with significant other.
Thanks for your hard work here, looks clear we both have the same taste and desires that MC sadly failed to deliver adequately. What you did here is like an answer to all my frustrations in the past, very polished very sleek. Cheers - TJ
Weird, I could have sworn I removed the local-coop tag before. Well, now its removed again. Its currently not possible to do local-coop on the same machine, sorry for the confusion.
I'm glad you like the game! It was indeed born out of a desire to deliver an experience we hoped MC to have, but which never came

Sorry i didnt have a good morning, I didnt mean to be rude etc
👍
I have this greece monkey!!!
This seems identical to the TerraFirmaCraft minecraft mod

Thank you, the game looks excellent. cant wait
Great job!
Hytale but it's a demo, omg it's amazing
After purchase, please redeem your key on the itch.io "My Purchase" page - it is a link that lets you create a game account to log in to the game.
Minecraft with a high budget
This seems really interesting and I can't wait to give it a try
Got this off the official website, one of the best games I've ever played
pls free versio
Smaller devs like the VS team usually don't do free versions of PC games, as it would drain their money. However, they do offer an old creative "classic" build for you to try out if that sounds interesting! https://info.vintagestory.at/classic

Not anymore, I guess. LOL

I have those same questions.

So after getting killed by some pig, I have now lost all my progress.
Ouch. That does sound rough! Hopefully some means of locating hard-earned gear is figured out.
But that definitely qualifies as "uncompromising..." :D
I bought this a few weeks ago through your website. Is there a way to hook it in to the itch.io windows app so it can manage updates for me?
I never used the app so I can't tell I'm afraid.
Related - is there a possibility for users who own the game via the website to claim it on itch?
Hi, currently no, sorry
My Windows 7 has crashed but have a dual boot with Linux on that PC.
Already purchased a prior version, would I need to pay for update to run on Mint?
I'm not the dev, but as far as I can tell, no, you don't have to. Simply download the Linux version of the game and login with your credentials as you did on Windows when you first started the game.
Ah yes, don't need to pay extra to switch OS, just download whichever version you need
This is basically Minecraft but theres literally ALWAYS something to keep the player engaged. I love when theres lots of different systems, it makes the game so interesting! I don't currently have it yet, but I wanna get it for a bunch of my friends, that way we can do some crazy stuff :D
Hay gente que no tiene dinero para comprarlo xd, escribi todo mal
Pero ponganlo gratis porfavor

where do i go to make an account to play the thing i paid for? seems pretty retarded if you ask me.
Read the first sentence of the game description here on itch.io
are you talking about:
"Please note: After purchase, please redeem the game key - it's a special link to create your game account, which is necessary to log in in-game."
or:
"Vintage Story is an uncompromising wilderness survival sandbox game inspired by lovecraftian horror themes."

Ok, added a sentence there. It's right below the downloads section on itch.io:
(please note, its not called steam key, its the first google image search result)
got it. you can't get it through the app, but you can get it online. the app only shows the downloads and not the link:
originally i was able to select if i wanted to download the linux version, so maybe the very first time will show the key (probably not). so maybe telling people where the key is in that first sentence would be a good idea (on the itch.io website downloads screen).
Oh, that's weird. I was not aware of that
Is clicking the "Get Steam Key" button supposed to show me a link? The link doesn't lead to anything. I Tried using the full text right after "gamekeycode=" and even the portion of that text up to the first "%" symbol. What is the gamekeycode?

Quick question, Is this game ever going to be available on other service providers like Steam?
Its also available on the humble store and our site. Regarding Steam, see FAQ: https://www.vintagestory.at/features/faq.html/
So I just logged in to start playing but is there a way to play without an internet connection?
Yes, once you logged in for the first time, you should be able to play without internet connection indefinitely.
I want to buy this game on my birthday,is there any difference from buying in this site from the vintage story site?
No difference, you get the same game. Getting it from the vintage story site is merely a little lower priced
Thanks for answering me,one more question,when i go to the vintage story site to buy the game,the game is called"game account" right? and when i buy it i will get the game on my email with the key?
Is there a demo version of this game available?

Alright thanks, I wanted to try it but it's not available for Mac OS...
Hi,
for Linux, could you add a "run.sh" or something? Because right now, none of the start-options on itch actually launch the game. I know I can install it, and then launch it with the desktop file, but that's just kind of strange, wish it would just work through itch right away :)
Also I don't like that install.sh *moves* the game data. Wouldn't moving the desktop file be enough? The install.sh could figure out the current path and change the desktop file so you don't have to move the game data :)
Anyways, the game looks great, I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun with it :)
Thank you.
Hey, thanks for the feedback. I suppose that run.sh should merely contain "mono VintageStory.exe", right?
Yeah, I created one myself with
and it works fine :)
Ok, will add that to the next version
Nice game so far. Got it for entire family. Ill do a follow up next year and see about including this in a raffle. Sadly cant do it this year.
Wishlisting it, i have no money, and i want to scream.
Little towns and villagers would be nice, villagers profession and town management like TekTopia, Minecolonies or Millenaire woule be VERY nicer!
What... This is Skirym but in Minecraft
this is like mine craft just more historical and makes the player do more than craft,the player has to build the sword,hunt,do more than just survive the night the player has to do hunt,explore,overcome,and be ready for what lies beneath the feet of the player that thing could be dangerous
it already is multiplayer
Yes, you have to log-in once to be able to start playing. After that you could stay offline or block connections forever.
This game is listed under "local multiplayer". For most games in this category that means two people can play on one device. Is this possible in this game? Are there third party tools to accomplish this? Would be nice to play side by side with kids, or with significant other.
