A new update (0.9.2) is available now!
Latest Hotfix: 0.9.2.1 (2026-05-12)

    When a new version or hotfix is available, but not yet implemented, you get kicked from the server and it means no playing :( Would it be possible to make sure you can (temporaly) choose the previous version ? Because it's only after starting the game you can notice the servers that didn't update yet. And serverowners need time to implement the update / hotfix.


    Wenn eine neue Version oder ein Hotfix verfügbar ist, aber noch nicht implementiert wurde, wirst du vom Server geworfen und kannst nicht mehr spielen :( Wäre es möglich, dafür zu sorgen, dass man (vorübergehend) die vorherige Version auswählen kann? Denn erst nach dem Start des Spiels fällt auf, welche Server das Update noch nicht installiert haben. Und die Serverbetreiber brauchen Zeit, um das Update bzw. den Hotfix zu implementieren.


    This is a general issue when using a cloud. It can happens also when using Onedrive (of Microsoft). You have always to create a back-up that you keep seperated offline and certainly a fresh one before disconnecting.

    When you go out the cloud, after restablish the connection the cloud will sync with the filemap on your computer and 'thinks' they have the last version of the files. Your last gamefiles are replaced and files that are unknown to the cloud are deleted. If you choose to use the Steam Cloud, your choice is irreversal. You have to follow the correct procedure to disconnect (or stop entirely with Steam Cloud).


    In case of Onedrive it's intentionally: if you don't want to use Onedrive or not want to pay for more space; you get a kind of 'punishment'.

    That's a Steam issue sadly, happened to a friend of mine as well, not with Rising World. Don't ever play anyway if there is issues with the Steam Cloud sync, it will most likely erase your data.

    That's why i don't use the Steam Cloud. To insecure. I keep my files on my own harddisk and can place a copy somewhere else. And that will be the case until i figure out how to use Steam Cloud in a safe way.

    First to say, it's confusing that you use two different names on the forum. Maybe best to stick to one please.


    This issue happens in two cases:

    1. You use a piece of hardware that worked before with an older version of windows or at least older driver(s). When placed in a new computer a conflict can occur; the new computer doesn't recognise the added hardware. I think in fact the file check didn't find "corrupted files", it may be just files to old for the windowsversion you use today. And recovering is mostly an other word for deleting in that case. Besides that the different speed (and age) of the SSD's can be an issue, certainly when both are used when running the same task(s).
    2. You have to register the use of Windows for legal reasons. The registrationprocess takes in account what hardware you have. Thats why, if you change several pieces, they recommend to repeat the registrationprocess. It makes sure no 2 copies of the same Windowslicense are used.

    Updating the drivers ? Standardanswer. Another one you hear alot: re-install windows ||


    I hope it helps you a bit.

    Unfortunately I have no ETA for water-block-collision... it's a problematic feature anyway... blocks can be freely placed (with arbitrary size and rotation), and there is also no limit to the number of blocks that can be placed, making water collision calculations way too expensive. But it is our intention to make water collide at least with 1x1x1 sized blocks placed in a grid.

    ...

    Is it a problem with how Unity Engine works or with how the blocks work in RW ?

    Repairing and cleaning them once was not a big deal, sure, but keep doing this all the time would become a nuisance in the long run.


    The game offers a lot with the explorarion, survival and building parts, and mandatory maintance would only get in the way.

    It would only be mandatory if you didn't visit the place in a long time. But a lot of servers delete claims after a month (or 3) absence (unless prior notice vacation/sickness/...) because it gives to much lag or is to intensive for the working of the server; mostly small servers managed and paid by one or few players. The maintenance of the build could signal activity.

    ^^ FPV eignet sich gut zum Bauen, Kämpfen … kurz gesagt für jede Art von Action. TPV eignet sich gut zum Reisen, Segeln, Betrachten der eigenen und der Bauten anderer Spieler sowie zum Genießen der wunderschönen Welten von RW. Beide Ansichten sind unverzichtbar.

    You mean the abandoned cabins? These are for sure! Are even on the list above.


    However, the second part you said is a little hard to be done in practice. You know, many players would hate to be forced to provide maintence on their houses and bases, so this will have to be optional. And even then, these will give quite an chore to be coded, and who knows how much value such feature will gring to this game. Not a bad idea, but maybe more suitable for a more hardcore game, such as Project Zomboid.

    The maintenance to be done in this abandoned cabins was minimal, i found. It took not more then 5 or 10 minutes. If you have the time to build for hours, a few minutes maintenance like you had to be done on the previous version of the game would not to much. Do one not clean his house every week ?
