Startup Bug Fix Attempt #2
Ok thanks to YOUR awesome feedback I think I nailed the startup bug. It has been illusive but here's my theory:

Players are updating the options menu before finishing the tutorial. This creates a save game where the player's inventory has not spawned yet (thefore their max life is 0). Then they start a game, the max life is 0 and they die forever.

Please restart steam if you haven't since this post was made to get the latest version of the game.

Next, delete your save file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Blocked and Loaded\%APPDATA%

Let me know if I got this bug once and for all!!!

Latest Patch - Death By Save File Fixed
A good number of people were not able to start up the game correctly (showed you as dead immediately) due to a save file permissions bug on some windows machines.

I have changed the save file location to %APPDATA% which will appear in the steam application folder that the game launches from.

If you already have a save file at the old location: C:\BlockedAndLoaded
You can copy the Save_File.xml located there into the %APPDATA% folder where steam installed Blocked and Loaded. Once there, rename the Save_File.xml to BandL_Save_File.xml and you will retain your old save.

My apologies for this complicated process, this issue did not come up during Steam testing, my own testing on four different pcs, etc. If you really like your character then do the process above to restore it.

If you wre having the issue, let me know if it is resolved now!

Thank you and world 2 is well under way,

Chris

Launch Day Success!
We had 4 player PVP matches, open world exploring for loot, epic boss battles and a whole lot of fun!

On the bug list side there were a handful of new ones that needed to be squashed and I worked as fast as I could to do just that. Your feedback was exceptional in this regard as well as your willingness to test out features.

Enhancements were made to the game already, including a nice floating name feature above people's heads.

I'm hard at work at level 2, but if you'd like me to jump in at some point just send me a message.


Thank you all for a very inspiring launch day!

Launch Day - Please Report All Bugs and Give Feedback!
This is going to be OUR game. Your decisions will help direct the future of Blocked and Loaded. Which is fair... since you're the ones who want to play in the first place!

I'll be on all night on launch day and most of Saturday / Sunday for launch weekend. Any major bugs will be patched immediately and will involve an announcement to let people know they need to close steam and re-open to get the latest version of the game.

I'm hoping there aren't any patches, but that is the current strategy.

Please report all bugs in the forum and thank you so much for being a part of this game from its humble beginnings!

Most importantly, let me know what you think and leave a review! I cannot wait to see how it progresses with your input.

Thank you,

Chris
