The latest update seems to have messed with the layout on the iPhone X. Entering the in game menu stretches everything. The cross to close the menu is only just visible and the notch gets in the way. Anyone else seen this?

 

Yup. Even I saw the same thing on my iPhone X.

Moreover, the new control schemes don't seem to be any good. The movement joystick is fine but the tapping is messed up.

Also, if you try to manually scale their size and re-position them, the scaling change saves but the re-position never does. They stay in their same position. Only positive I see from this update (at least as of now) is the auto-save feature. Kinda handy.

For now, I am sticking to the default control scheme.

 

Yeah but there is an option to adjust the in-game window boxes.


About the controls. I use joystick+2 buttons but instead of using the option to re positioning/resizing some invisible buttons, I‘ve used the one where the right side of the screen is split up into half so you have two buttons covering the whole right of the screen. Works flawlessly.

 

This is what i ended up with as well until a fix
Of course, the upgraded water cans etc still dont work with multiple areas if you hold down the button.

 

Even with the second control/fishing patch overnight, this version is still way buggy for me on my X.

I don't feel like the A/B buttons are responding at all and if I keep the rod equipped I'll cast at a non water object instead of intelligent interaction.

And after both updates I'll eventually get this bizarre grid overlay on the entire screen that makes it even more unplayable.

Using the reply composition box on this website forum on my phone is also, quite ironically, buggy as hell. )

 

ah great, now the game froze at 12 after a full day entering the salloon. I think i will wait about a week for everything to be ironed out because i lost the whole day.

 

Had an odd bug where my animals would stay outside , refusing to go back into the Barn/Coop

Fixed it by turning off Autosave , going to Robin and subtly moving the buildings around then finishing out the day. At day break my animals are no longer grumpy with me and are now producing milk/eggs/wool

 

v1.05 update is out now. Looks like more control updates and fishing tweaks.

 

Ugh...just encountered a bug where I go to bed on the last day of winter and the first day of spring never loads... anyone else? This is year 2 going into year 3 I like being able to auto save and close the game whenever but this update is pretty buggy I’ve had several crashes before this

 

Not getting any vibration when fishing anymore. Also, wasn’t the fishing pole on the left side originally? I’m right-handed fishing and it feels awkward now.

 

Has anyone made any progress in Skull Cavern with the default auto attack control scheme? I despise virtual buttons and joysticks so I don’t want to faff around with that. However, it just seems inevitable that you die to serpents unless you bring lots of food. And even then 2 serpents might kill you anyway.

If anyone has made it to 100 I am curious about their strategy for doing it. For now I'm planning on just brute forcing it with level 10 combat, damage mitigation rings and a million pumpkin soups, but there probably is a tactic I'm missing to avoid damage in the first place.

 

I haven't made it past 30 in the caverns (lvl 9 combat). I'm also in Winter which has poo-poo'd my food resources (working on Sashimi now hopefully). Auto attacks face stupid directions. That first patch screwed the auto attack by so much. It was at least doable then.

Congrats on 1 million dollars though SDV. Just.. patch the game to make it as good as it can be.

 

As suspected the desert dungeon becomes doable at level 9-10 with lots of Pumpkin Soup (or some other food that buffs defense). You can also reduce your chances of taking damage by having the fish collide with you from the top or the right rather than from the bottom or the left. Also, moving away from the serpent as it comes to you seems to help reduce damage as well.

The main obstacle for getting to 100 is just the time taken, which I'm guessing is a challenge in the PC as well. I'm upgrading pickaxe to Iridium and will bring bombs and lots of stone to make staircases. Hopefully that does the trick.

 

Will iCloud saves ever be supported? I go back and forth from my iPhone and iPad frequently and don’t want to start playing until this feature is added. It is in pretty much have game these days so not sure why it wasn’t from the get go here.

 

its not on their priority list but the game does fully support apples 'files' app. launch the game on both devices, start new game on both (this creates the save file folders for the game). then just go in to the files app, move the save from device to cloud. then on other device move from cloud to device. can do this as often as it suits you.

its no auto icloud, but its something honestly i wish more developers supported the files app for saves. i like cloud save, when it works properly. but when improperly implemented, its a train wreck.

 

I tried this several times and it hasn’t worked. I’ve got a perfect save in the cloud in the files app that I tried to move to “on my phone” from my old iPhone 8 to my iPhone XR and it sees the file when I open the game on the XR but reverts back to the main menu every time I load it. I’ve even tried transferring using iTunes and won’t work. I even restored my phone to factory settings and tried loading and the same thing happens. I sold my iPhone 8 and only have the XR now and wish I could use the old save from that phone. Any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong? I don’t mind starting over from scratch AGAIN, lol but I have the trident weapon on my old save and would love to have that back. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

 

I created a video showing you how it's done, hope it helps:

 

I move back and forth all the time. XS Max to iPad Pro 12.9" using the Files app. Gotta copy the whole folder.

 

Thanks peter321 and braub. I must have a corrupted file or perhaps the original file being from an iPhone 8 and moving to the XR has caused an issue. Still doesn’t work but thanks for the replies
