TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY is Here!

Fixed for me know. Wintermute loads as a separate game from the home "menu"

Update just out! Fixed! Patience wins

Had to do some RL and just got back to re-patching.  The patch works without any files ninja magic.  I guess it's really fixed.

Reinstall finally finished - game looks to be working without having to mess about in the files.

It wants me to buy it.
I already owned it before the update.

The game now loads after moving that file, but does not seem to have the DLC installed. I am going to try to redownload the DLC files. I will report back.

Moving that file seems to work for getting the game to play. That said, messing with files on your C drive can screw up your computer so I would advise against messing with them. I am sure that Hinterland will re-release the files now that they know where the problem is.

For those who are savvy and comfortable with files...

If your game files are in program File (86) here is your path:

C/program files (86)/Steam/steamapps/common/TheLongDark/tld_dlc/wintermute

In that tld_dlc folder is a folder called Wintermute. I moved that file baselbb.dll from there into the main TheLongDark folder.

So that gets the game working, but not the DLC...fingers crossed on the next step.

Submit a support ticket, they have been really fast at replying after the launch

Thanks, error is gone now.

But where is my saved Survival mode game? It's not there anymore. Literally put weeks of real life time into building that saved game, and now it's gone?

"New" ? Where's Load? What's going on here? 🤨

So awesome! Can’t wait to download

Yeah, the survival saves are wiped with this update... A bummer but they warned us about that leading up to release.

There will be a time capsule-thing on Steam that lets you play old builds with your old saves, though those versions obviously won't include the DLC areas nor the refreshed loot placements etc.

Well now I can't get it to go to my main display, keeps going to my little display

I use multiple monitors and the game launched on another monitor for me too.  I moved it to the main monitor with the windows key shortcut WIN + shift + arrow (left or right).  Restarted the game, and now it remembers the correct monitor like before.  I'm guessing it's just a one-time setup thing.

Thanks for the answer and reply.

This is the last time I give Hinterland any of my money.

I feel like I just wasted week's worth of my real life time building up that Survival mode character, only to have it completely erased by an "update." Good update! Even better that it failed to even load initially.

I guess Hinterland expect people to do all the tedious work again for week's of real-life hours? Unbelievable expectation.

Who knows if they'll do the same thing in the future, deleting more of my in-game work with one of their future "updates."

👎  Uninstalling, I'm finished. 👎

Edit: looks like this isn't the first time Hinterland wiped saved games. I guess this is part of their modus operandi: destroy customer's saved games, make them tediously play through it all again. Rinse, repeat. Force them to rebuild everything. Good business model you guys have going there.

So the game is running and I tried to update again and it wont let me. The interface looks different and there are what looks like new sections on the map, but there are no names and I cannot select them to start there.

I am on Windows 10

As far as playing old saves in the Time Capsule...Will that only work for people that use the Steam cloud to save their games? I only save mine locally. However, after uninstalling and reinstalling the game, I still see my save files in the appdata/Local/Hinterland files. So maybe they will still work in the Capsule. They dont show in the "load" section though, as expected.

Anyone else having trouble with the auto walk?

[Bigfatcat999]

Playing it...OMG, they weaponized the light, so dark!

 

[acada]

Now the question is. Where is the airfield? I cannot start game in this region. Nowhere on map.

You can adjust Brightness in the Options, from the main menu. It doesn't seem to present the same option panel when you are in-game.

Happy trails everyone! May your fires be warm and your rifles always loaded!

[Jarulf]

Does the game look a lot better on Linux, or am I imagining things? Things just seem to be a lot crisper and way less flickering in the distance.

You have to walk there from BRR.

Yep, never realised how much I depend on it until now 

Edit: Actually it seems fine now. Looks to have turned itself off after I enabled it the first time, so I just turned it back on and it's working thus far.

I have the same problem. 

Edit: So it seems you click on Buy Update and it will download it for you.

I never realized it either!! Glad it’s back to working 🙂

What will happen to today saves after next update ? Will we have fresh start every 10 weeks ?

I seriously doubt that would happen.

Usually we only lose saves when a complete system change happens, and this update was a major overhaul of the basic game structure. When you are playing a game that is early release you might see this happen several times, but I believe this has only happened once or twice since TLD started.
