Vivaland: Dream House News

Hi neighbors!
Just a quick update as we keep making the game better: here's our first Patch Note.

⚡⚡We've temporarily turned off the option to play offline because, for now, saving your beautiful homes requires an internet connection. We're super sorry for this inconvenience and are working on a fix so you can get back to building your dream spaces without the internet connection. Thanks for your understanding and patience!⚡⚡

[h3]What’s new[/h3]

Photo mode is here!

Shortcut: U key

It should hide any UI elements, including visual indications on the game (like invisible walls, tools, grid).

Mirrored curtains

We added the mirrored version of the curtains for:

- Side Curtain
- Curtain

[h3]🐞BUG FIXES🐞[/h3]

1. Added a new error message when there is no internet connection.

• should work upon starting Vivaland
  
• if players get disconnected mid-session

3. This bug shouldn't occur anymore: Сar can be placed in the wall if you move it along with the Driveaway

5. When right-clicking on wall lot objects, they should not disappear

[h3]ROOF[/h3]

1. The roof context menu shouldn’t hide the height change arrow of the roof. It happened before when a roof was raised.
2. When a roof was resized while the grid was activated, the roof started moving around. It shouldn't happen anymore.

[h3]UNDO[/h3]

1. Undoing fences shouldn’t turn into walls anymore.
2. If you accidentally make foundation the undo button will fix it the way it were before.
3. Fixed crash upon invisible wall and foundation undo.

1. Now, dragging a curved wall, the first time should affect all walls, which are on the same level.
2. Wall placement shouldn’t be invalid on the first floor if there is a curved wall connection on the floor above.
3. Destroying a wall shouldn't drag other walls and items with it.
4. Added minimum width/length constraints to room draw.
5. These issues should not occur:

• If you click a wall, you can grab items from the other side of the wall
  
• Shouldn’t see arrow handles if they are behind a wall

We haven't fixed everything just yet, but we're working hard on it. Your feedback means the world to us — thanks for helping us get better!

Hello, neighbors!

Great news, we have finally managed to solve the problem that was causing the Low Fatal Error. It turned out that DX12 was not working well with our version of Unreal Engine.

We are very sorry that you were unable to play our game until now!

But now we are eagerly waiting for all of you to visit!

Many of you have asked how to remove the interface for beautiful photos, until we've added a separate button, please use the keyboard shortcut by pressing the U key.

By the way, if you want to play with someone but couldn't find a friend, join our Discord channel.

Or leave the codes for your towns right here at your own risk. No one is immune to bad contractors that might appear on your lot.

1. We have noticed that there's an "Error:none" popping up for a lot of you, don't worry a fix has just been deployed, please restart your Steam clients and retry.
   
2. Solved the "stuck on the main screen" issue
   
3. Added more detailed message to the "EOS LOGIN FAILED"
   

Thank you for reporting and sorry for the inconvenience!

Dream House serves as a prologue, showcasing the Build Mode of Vivaland, and it is a free-to-play game. Up to eight players can claim lots in the town of Vivaland and can build houses in single-player mode or visit their friend’s lot and build together.
