    Hmm, instructions and google docs. I did not know there were instructions somewhere and I have been blindly guessing. Can someone show a link or point me to these? Sorry for being dense sometimes. :(

    Anyone else get a veeery dark screen as soon as they log in to the game? Im able to see the outline of my character and others, but its all dark shapes surrounded by a blue outline...
    I tried messing around a bit with the graphics options but with no luck. Tried restarting the game as well. Worked fine for me in the other releases.

    Any clues?

    Same exact issue here. I have no clue what the cause is though, or how to fix.

    If it helps anyone, I'm getting this behavior on a surface pro with win 8.1 - I believe it's intel graphics running in the native (only) resolution of 1920 x 1080.

    No need for the metric system, thank you very much. But daylight savings time is just silly.

    Lighting is about a thousand times better. Please don't go back to the old way

    Hi, new backer here - all seems very cool so far.

    Regarding known issues:

    "Changing the house on a lot or un-claiming a lot will clear and return currently placed decorations to your inventory."

    I claimed a lot in Braemar, and decorated a house on it (Wood & Plaster 2-story with Overhang), but then I claimed a new lot in Northshire and lost all of my decorations - nothing was returned to my inventory. I checked the first lot again but it was empty.

    Also, using Alt-Tab when playing in fullscreen causes the game to log me out, which is annoying. I have to play in windowed mode to prevent this.

    Alt-tabbing in full screen is a unity bug that will hopefully be fixed soon.

    I believe all items will stay in your house that was stored in inventory. If you put it back the items will be in there yet. This is by design.

    Hey, that means in another ten years, it will be 12 months long! Problem solved? :)

    Back on topic...

    Yes, the lighting is definitely different, but there's still something "off" about it. BTW, love the sunsets.

    Not sure what you mean - I created another house of same type (on different lot in different village) but I never got those decorations back - something like 500 golds worth. Now I grinded out some more gold and bought some new things, I don't really want to try and lose them all again heh.

    ok, so i have question about house. I created single player game and wanted to claim a house but it seems to be impossible. I've tried about 20 houses and all has some owner? I don't see any mobs nearby but cant claim houses. In previous versions i had no problems with that. Is it a bug?

    I was incorrect. All of the items will go into your inventory backpack if you have room in there. Otherwise they will be lost. I tested this just to make sure this time.

    How much can backpacks carry? I'm only using the list interface. Currently, there doesn't seem to be a weight limit - e.g. I'm carrying hundreds of wood timbers etc. And I can still buy many things from merchants and they all go into my backpack still. So there should have been room for the deocrations to be returned (at least I bought lots more new decorations and my inventory had space for them).

    Daylight savings time you can choose to participate in on a state level, no need for federal gov't to change it. Arizona, Indiana, and Hawaii all don't participate in daylight savings time. I don't like the metric system, US system utilizes more useful units of measure, although it is more challenging to remember the conversion. The metric system has less useful units of measure that are easier to convert.
