    Thanks for letting us know! This error related to the server problems Steam is currently having during christmas time. Only thing we can do is to start the game in "offline mode" then (in this case, you can't play multiplayer).
    If you are getting this error always and you are never able to login, there might be a more specific error (communication blocked by an external program etc.).

    Thanks for showing your support! :) Unfortunately there are always some negative reviews popping up, which is basically not a problem, but it is a pity that we can't get any useful information from most of these reviews. It would be more helpful if a negative review points out what the game does wrong exactly. Reviews like "game does not start" are not really helpful, they assume the game does never work (but in 99% of all cases it has a reason like wrong java version, outdated drivers etc.). It is a little bit sad that most people don't want any help, since we add everybody who writes a review based only on startproblems to our contact list to solve the issues, but some decline or ignore the request. In those cases it appears to me that these people don't want help.
    And, ofc, it's also sad to see false accusations sometimes (devs are never updating the game, devs are not willing to help, devs just want your money) :rolleyes:


    About the particular review you mentioned: We will keep an eye on it for the first time, especially since some comments are disappearing to that review (deleted by the OP of the review).

    1.So wie ich das mitbekommen ist ja zur zeit nur der Survival Modus aktiv, zu dem es wohl gehört das man das hab und gut anderer Spieler zerstören/Stehlen kann. Wird es noch andere Spielmodi geben, besonders wo mir mein erbautes und der Inhalt meiner Truhe nicht weggenommen werden kann? Es geht mir nicht um die eine Hütte aber irgendwann hat man ja auch ein bissl mehr gebaut und wenn dann über Nacht alles zerstört wird,wäre nicht toll. Oder gehört das zum Konzept beim Multiplayer ?


    Standardmäßig kann jeder Spieler uneingeschränkt Dinge abbauen. Allerdings bieten wir die Möglichkeit, eigene LUA Skripte einzubinden (kann quasi verglichen werden mit Plugins für Bukkit bei Minecraft). Über die LUA Skripte ist es möglich genau zu bestimmen, wer was wann wo wie abbauen oder machen darf ;)


    2.Wird es auch sowas wie Clans/Gilden geben ?


    Das Spiel bietet zumindestens ein ganz rudimentäres System an, nämlich Leute in die eigene Gruppe einzuladen. Damit sieht man gegenseitig seine Health und FriendlyFire ist innerhalb der Gruppe deaktiviert.


    3.Was für Serverarten wird es geben, Offiziell, Privat ? Ich weiss grad gar nicht genau wem der Server überhaupt gehörte auf dem ich war und ob ich noch drauf komme fällt mir grad ein


    Grundsätzlich kann jeder hosten, wir bieten (noch) keine offiziellen Server an. Wenn du einen Server siehst, kann es also sein, dass jemand den einfach auf seinem privaten Rechner betreibt, ihn irgendwo gemietet hat (bei einem Serverhoster, zB Zap Hosting), oder aber ihn auf einem eigenen Rootserver laufen lässt ^^


    Und ich wünsche euch das ihr von eurem Geldgeber die Zeit bekommt die Ihr braucht um dieses Projetkt in dem zustand auf den Markt zu bringen wo Ihr sagt " it´s done " Halbfertige sachen hatten wir die letzten Jahre zu viele


    Hehe, es gibt keinen Geldgeber :D Wir tragen alles aus eigener Tasche bzw. sind natürlich jetzt abhängig vom Verkauf des Spiels ;) Wir können uns also theoretisch die Zeit nehmen, die wir brauchen. Wobei eine zu langsame Entwicklung auch wieder viele Leute verärgert^^

    Das Spiel erkennt nur deine Intel HD 3000, welche darüberhinaus noch einen alten Treiber hat (die ersten Intel Treiber waren verbuggt im Bezug auf OpenGL).


    Du musst deine Geforce 580M also manuell dem Spiel zuweisen (geht im NVIDIA Control Panel).

    Kicken: kick spielername optional:grund


    Bannen: ban spielername dauer optional:grund


    Ich glaube Bannen funktioniert aber noch nicht...

    The devs are going to have to address this. This is the same issue we have been having for over a week now and none of the updates have fixed it apparently. Not much I can do. Is this problem happening on other servers?


    There is at least a problem with animals, don't know if that causes the isses. You could try to delete all spawned animals in the database (but then no more animals will respawn in that areas where animals already spawned, perhaps make a backup of that table).
    It is also possible that the issues are somehow related to LUA, not sure. We will bring our own server online soon, eventually this helps us to sort out more of the multiplayer issues (which dont seem to happen always).
    Perhaps it also helps to disable HIVE verification temporarily in your settings.

    Our team consists of three people: KingGenius, lucien.schuenke and me ;) "JIW-Games" was founded by KingGenius and me. We are all from Germany.
    I am mainly working on the game itself, KingGenius partly works on the game and is mainly responsible for the website, user authentication and non-Steam payments, and lucien.schuenke manages our servers, is responsible for the Steam integration and does some community related tasks.

    Sadly I deleted the game folder and ran verify game integrity from steam just in case it didn't scan certain files which could have been corrupt. Anyway this didn't work, but I have linked the connection issue to single player, if you try to join a server and get the error unable to authenticate and then decide to start a single player game the world doesn't load/create. If you exit the game and start it over then go to single player the world will load/create as normal, so this problem not been able to play single player is only if you try to join a server and get the error and then try to create/load a world in single player.


    It took around 45 minutes before I was able to join a server again. The losing connection seems most think its to do with chopping down trees and crafting things, I don't, i think its to do with survival mode its self because you can just be standing there idle and still loose connection, in a period of 4 hours I must have lost my connection at least 12 times.


    It would be interesting to know if an errorlog is created when you was first on a multiplayer server and then tried to play singleplayer. If not, please enable debug console and provide the log again if possible.


    Is there a specific server you are playing on in multiplayer?
