Hello everyone! Thank you so much for supporting the early access release of [Sands of Salzaar]! We've noticed a few issues in which players would get stuck at several menus which prevents them from starting the game.

We are working on these issues currently, and we assure you all we will release a patch for these issues as soon as possible.

Here are some temporary solutions we and the community discovered, for the players who encountered these frustrating issue to start the game.

1. Stuck in the first loading screen



- Please head over to the system setting of your windows system and search for Time&Date. Turn off the time zone auto-update function.



- Then select a random time zone below in the time zone menu.

2. Getting stuck in the steam library after pressing the [play] button

- If you encountered this issue, please try to close your anti-virus software first.
- If you are using Windows 10 system, please find the "UnityCrashHandler64" file in the game folder.



- Right-click and go to "property", click on "Safety", and then click "edit"



- Make sure the refuse option is checked. Then check "refuse" to "edit", "load and execute", "load", "overwrite" options.
- If you are not sure which user you've logged in with, just simply refuse all user access.

3. Crash when selecting "New Game"



- After reaching the main menu, activate the "Skip the intro" mod in the Mod menu.

Hi everyone! We're happy to announce that Sands of Salzaar is officially available on Steam Early Access as of January 3, 2020! We can't wait for you to create your own story and encounter all new experiences in Salzaar, just as we promised the amazing players who helped us during our closed beta!

The English localization of Sands of Salzaar is still in progress. We apologize for not supporting English at the beginning of Early Access, and are grateful for your understanding! English support is one of our top priorities, and we aim to add it to the game ASAP.


Sands of Salzaar is a fantasy sandbox RPG set in an expansive desert consumed by chaos as various tribes struggle for control. The Salzaarian Desert is filled with countless factions and mysterious dungeons which you will encounter during the many chapters of your adventure.

You begin your adventure by selecting a character, each of which have their own skill trees and tactics in battle. Within 30 days, you must travel extensively across the Salzaarian Desert to recruit troops and horses, contend with friendly and competing factions, fight off hordes of bandits, and survive until the end.



The Early Access version of Sands of Salzaar has seen plenty of changes since our beta. Most importantly, our Mod Editor is now available for download in the Steam Workshop so you can begin tweaking the game in whichever ways you see fit!

In addition, we have updated in-game art, fixed various bugs present in earlier versions, optimized the pacing of the game, added new characters with their own skills and storylines, improved replayability and difficulty, and enabled Steam achievements.

We will continue to update Sands of Salzaar and will be publishing our update schedule on the Steam community. We welcome any and all adventurers ready to set off and create all new stories in the Salzaarian Desert!

The English version is still in development! English localization will NOT be included in the first early access version. We will release the English version as soon as we can when it is in a good place! Click the wishlist button if you’re interested!

Hello, gamers! Recently, we’ve invited some players to test out our game! Although the close test version didn’t fully reflect our vision, we have still received a great amount of support and raised lots of conversations on streams and forums. We could not appreciate more for all of the lovely support and kind words, thank you very much!

After seeing the huge support to the test and excitement for the Early Access from all of you, we decide to make some changes to the test period and the Early Access date. The test will end on Dec 15th(was Dec 31st), and the early access date is also changed from Jan 16th to Jan 3rd.

The early access version will have better optimized MOD support. A Mod editor will be included, please feel free to create your own content and mess around with the world and rules! Go crazy!



The early access release will support two types of MOD: The first one is the Campaign type (such as the main game), and the other is plug-in type (such as hero packs). The Mods will support cross-platform in the future.



These are the updates that will be in the Early Access release:

• Bug fixes and balance changes.
  
• Changes to the gameplay loop which would lower the amount of grind needed.
  
• Add more backgrounds stories, skills, and endings to the characters.
  
• Changes to the difficulty balance for a better multiple playthrough experience
  
• Improve character art, UI, and other art design features.
  
• Supporting Steam achievements.
  

We really hope to make this RPG+sandbox game and the desert fantasy world better and more charming! We are very sorry that the English version couldn’t make it when early access starts, but we assure you that it will be here ASAP! Please don’t forget to wishlist on steam！

Thank you all again for the lovely support!
