Spirit Of The Island News

Hello!

We included Beach Resort DLC in the main game package and will remove the DLC page from Steam. The reason is simple: the content is free anyway and having it separate just confuses our players. So we decided to just enable it by default for everyone. It's a cosmetic change so don't worry, nothing will happen in your games.

Also we are quite pleased to announce that the console update, which will include all new features and both DLCs will be sent to the certification process today. After it's checked by all console platforms, we will release the update and merge crossplay with the new version of the game. Meaning no more launch options and one default version of the game with a full feature set for everyone. As the price of the game is higher on consoles, Adventureland will be included as a free update. We hope to release the update this month, but now the wait process entirely depends on console platforms.

Thank you for playing Spirit of the Island and have a nice day!

Hi!



We have another small bugfix update ready:
- We have resolved the large savefile problem - this time completely. There's only one thing: you would need to delete two large txt files in your savegame folder. Sadly, you will lose all of your quest progress - we found no way to avoid this - but all your other progress, including buildings, items, relationships, etc. will remain intact. IMPORTANT: only people that have encountered this issue have to do it! Please do not delete anything if your game works fine!

How to delete the files:
* Press Windows key + R
* Input %USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/1M Bits Horde
* Find two largest txt files - they are usually close to or well over 200MB in size
* Delete them

We are very sorry for the inconveniences caused by this. We tried to avoid this, but without the deletion we can't update your savefile system.

- We fixed Key of Elements progression;
- Some small fixes in all quests;
- Fixed the quest sync in coop: now both players should see the correct quest progress.

We are still working on the fixes for the dialogue problem, an update will come soon.

Thank you for playing Spirit of the Island!

Hello!

We have a new update:
- We fixed History Book problem in legacy story;
- Controller buttons now work properly in all menus;
- Building repair is fixed;
- Dialogues no longer reset during the game or after restart;
- Desync in the new storyline coop mode is fixed;
- Tony won't thank you for saving his kid before the quest is done anymore;
- We fixed the issue with big save file sizes, now the game shouldn't crash for players with big farms.

Dear adventurers,

We are happy to present you with an update 3.0.2.5. We were in a hurry to fix the most annoying issues that some of you have:

Fixed:
- The quest trigger for the Lighthouse quest (if players save the game and quit before entering Lighthouse right and giving items to Tony the quest doesn’t trigger anymore).
- Dialogues with the NPCs in the village do not reset after the load anymore.
- Family Heart quest dialogue fixed.
- Missing names in the dialogues with the Lighthouse, Pirate, and Elisa.
- Huge saves were created when finishing the quest for Hawk.
- Fixed the fire at the old farm hose.
- Issues with the multiplayer when players have a de-sync and were not able to complete the quests together.

Improvements:
- Players will now get less tired during the day and will have at least 18 hours per day without falling asleep.

One but important note for the ones that experienced issues with the huge save (game save and load time is big or even crash the game): please, go to %USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/1M Bits Horde/SOTI, find the huge TXT files (400 MB+) and simply remove these TXT files only!!! Unfortunately, your quests progression will be lost, but all the items, skills, buildings, etc. progress is safe so you don’t need to get new relations, or start everything from scratch, just the questline.

Hope you will like the update.

Dear adventurers,

Some of you have experienced issues with the old save files that were not showing. We have prepared an update that solves this issue and we are happy to present this update.

What was fixed:

1) Quests that were not saved after you quit the game and load again.
2) The starting point after you complete the intro quest. Now you will appear near your house instead of the beach house.
3) Dialogs that were resetting.
4) Quest triggers in both the multiplayer and the single player.

Hope that these changes will help solve your first problems. The main thing we want to highlight: your old saves didn’t disappear: they are there safe and you didn’t lose any progress. Now you could continue your old game save if you wish to.

We will continue working on the QoLs that were marked.

See you in the Spirit of the Island.
