Journey of Life News

Announcement - Harvesting issue

We had few people reported that they cant harvest foliage.

It's primarily a problem with older users.


This seems to be a conflict of old saves and configs with new saves and configs. Also as Steam cloud, Syncs older saves it can cause this issue.

step 1
Turn off steam cloud on JOL game.
Go to Steam Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata and erase folder under number 794490

step 2
Write down %appdata% into the start menu
It should open a window. Search for Journey of Life folder and erase the whole folder.

step 3
Go to My Documents and erase Journey of Life inside My games folder.

step 4
Run game.

If you have the same issues after doing all of this please join our Discord and we will be happy to solve out your issues.

Thanks for the support!
