A new update is now available, introducing "Points of interest" and many more changes!
Latest hotfix: 0.9 (2025-11-05)

  • Loading an image from .jar

    Thanks for bringing this up! It looks like the classloader isn't able to find the resources in the jar file... sorry for the inconvenience, we will fix this issue with the next update! :)
    However, you also made me aware of another potential issue: If multiple plugins have an image called "plus.png" in the "resources" folder, it's nearly impossible to determine which "plus.png" image you're actually referring to (since all plugin jars are in the classpath). Even though it is possible to find out the caller class (by using dark voodoo magic and calling internal proprietary API methods), I think it's much cleaner to provide a reference to the actual plugin class in the constructer. Something like that:

    Java
    //If ImageInformation is created in your plugin class

    ImageInformation info = new ImageInformation(this, "/resources/plus.png");

  • Water Bug Report

    Yes, unfortunately the water is currently kinda limited... it is our intention to increase the "precision" of water (or more precisely, the resolution of the underlying data grid), but I don't dare to change the water until we're working on its physical behaviour (I really want to avoid that any of these changes lead to unforeseen consequences which eventually mess up our plans about physiscal water) :(

  • Smelter glitch?

    Oh... well... obviously this is a feature! If you're fast enough it indicates that your character is skilled enough to use the smelter more efficiently :whistling:
    Ok just kidding, we'll fix this bug in the future :D

  • Are we allowed to showcase renditions of real buildings?

    Our rule only applies - as suspected by @Miwarre - to Rising World creations, i.e. it just means you have to create the building on your own (it doesn't matter if it's based on a real building or not). This rule is only there to prevent people from joining mp servers and submit screenshots of various buildings they found there.
    So of course you're allowed to post screenshots of your building which replicates a real/historical building :) Not sure if there are any laws in any countries which forbid posting images of real historical buildings, but I highly doubt you will ever run into problems by doing so (especially not when just posting RW screenshots)^^

  • Update oder kein Update

    Leider handelte es sich nicht um ein Rising World Update, sondern Steam hat vermutlich lediglich die VCRedist Pakete aktualisiert. Das passiert von Zeit zu Zeit ist ist manchmal etwas irreführend.

  • I wish the bugs in my RW game were butterflies.

    Thanks for the log, but yeah, as you mentioned, it's from last year and not really related to this issue. One thing you could do to get a more recent log: start the game, open the ingame console (key ^ or ` or ~, depending on your keyboard language) and type "report" (without quot. marks), then a file called "report" will appear in your game directory. Please upload it or post the content here ;)
    However, if the error only occurs after playing for a given amount of time (and if restarting the computer is the only thing that helps), this sounds more like a different issue. It could be either a temperature issue, or a driver issue. Make sure you download and install the latest driver from the NVIDIA homepage: http://www.nvidia.com/download…Results.aspx/114708/en-us

  • Bestätigungsmail kommt nicht an.

    Sorry für die späte Antwort :/ Grundsätzlich sollten die Mails eigentlich ankommen, zumindest scheint es bei anderen Usern, die sich zwischenzeitlich angemeldet haben, geklappt zu haben. Möglicherweise betrifft das Problem nur Web.de, wir werden das auf jeden Fall überprüfen. Nichtsdestotrotz habe ich deinen Account manuell freigeschaltet ;)

  • Can't login into certain server.

    Quote from FelonyMelanie

    That will let him start over with no problems?

    This deletes his playerdata, i.e. he will be considered as a new player when he joins the server again ;) If his issue is related to corrupted player data, this will most likely solve this issue (however, if he still can't join the server, it's probably an issue on his side).


    Quote from FelonyMelanie

    And I do this from my computer correct?

    Yes, but it requires admin permissions to enter this command. Just enter the command into console (which can be opened by pressing ` or ~)

  • Steam not responding .... error back again

    Hmm... this time it looks like it was an issue with our servers. They were not able to communicate with the Steam servers 8| I'm sorry for the inconvenience, everything should be back to normal again. We really need to get an offline mode ready for the game.

  • Can't login into certain server.

    Quote from arthlor

    Hey there. For some reason i can't login into my favourite server. I can join other servers with no problem but when i try to login the server i usually play, it stucks at loading screen. What might be the reason of this problem? Thank you.

    When does it get stuck exactly? Can you maybe post the server IP here?

  • Wie repariere ich N/A Texturen?

    @Deirdre: Die Texturen wären ja weiterhin via Command verfügbar... aber ich verstehe was du meinst. Schwieriges Thema. Tatsächlich haben aber die N/A Texturen schon öfters für Verwirrung gesorgt, sodass mir eigentlich lieber wäre, die aus der Werkbank zu entfernen :|
