Go back to your folder, run the .exe again

#

See what it says.

median lynx
#

Nothing

#

It does the same thing as it does on steam

#

Splahimage, then nothing

#

Would you like for me to send you my system specifications?

lilac thistle
#

You'll need to copy/paste them in quarters due to discords character limits.

median lynx
#

Ok, post them here?

lilac thistle
#

Pm them to me

median lynx
#

Ok!

left marsh
#

@lilac thistle well that did not work. I put it now on 250 and find a bit more, but still not everything

sudden quail
lilac thistle
#

@left marsh Hm.. What firewall do you use?

#

@sudden quail Are you on Windows 10?

sudden quail
#

Yeah

#

I've tried reinstalling battle eyes a couple of times, the game opens find when opened without it.

#

fine*

lilac thistle
#

@sudden quail At the bottom left of your screen you should have a grey searchbar, type CMD into it. It should display something called "Command Prompt", right click that and left click "Run as Administrator" which after clicking ok/run it should appear as a blackbox.

#

Afterwards type "netsh winsock reset" without the " " and hit enter, wait a few seconds then restart your computer.

sudden quail
#

Thank you, I'll let you know how it goes

#

Still doing the same hmm

lilac thistle
#

hm.

#

Out of curiosity.. Right click The Isle in your Steam library > left click "Reset Game Settings"

sudden quail
#

It opens fine

lilac thistle
#

Able to join Official servers?

sudden quail
#

It tells me I need to restart with BattleEye. and then does the same error

lilac thistle
#

M'kay so it's definitely a BattlEye issue and something is preventing it from launching correctly.

#

What anti-virus/firewall do you have?

sudden quail
#

Bullguard atm

#

I'm fairly sure my Windows Defender is disabled

#

yeah it is

lilac thistle
#

Do you know how to add exclusions to Bullguard? Also your anti-virus often assumes control of Windows defender automatically, so that's fine.

sudden quail
#

yeah, i'll try adding an exclusion

lilac thistle
#

Exclude the entire Isle folder

sudden quail
#

its only letting me add individual .exe's

lilac thistle
#

Hang on a sec

sudden quail
#

It's just refusing to do it, so I tried turning my antivirus and firewall to test, but it's still doing it

#

Ok, adding an exception finally worked lol

#

Annd still not working ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

lilac thistle
#

Hm.

sudden quail
#

None work. I'll try reinstalling the game

lilac thistle
#

Try a clean installation, delete your Isle folder after uninstalling.

sudden quail
#

I will, thank you. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I'll let you know if it helps

valid river
#

hello. I have an issue. I have the same computer as my friend who can run and play the isle. But when I try to run it it always freezez and stops responding while I try to load in. I have restarted my computer and then i also tried to reinstall the isle bu tthat didnt help. Is there a way to fix this?

lilac thistle
#

@valid river You mean the game closes when you launch it, or it freezes when you join a server?

valid river
#

freezes when joining a server

lilac thistle
#

You'll need to copy/paste it in quarters due to discords character limits per message

valid river
#

Okay one second.

sudden quail
#

Gah, I'm back. Clean reinstall has been done, but still the same issue.

lilac thistle
#

Hm.

#

I'll look into some previous threads that have had this issue, as I'm certain I've found solutions for this in the past.

sudden quail
#

Thanks ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I'll have a look back too

#

I couldn't find anything. Does the old Discord server still exist? I bet there's a fix there ๐Ÿ˜…

lilac thistle
#

Unfortunately no, but I'll find something, don't worry.

#

actually hang on a sec

#

Exit Steam then right click on your Steam shortcut and left click "Run as Administrator"

#

then try launching the game.

sudden quail
#

lmfao it worked

#

Thank you!! ^_^

lilac thistle
#

That's odd. Something is preventing BattlEye from installing correctly.. Something permission related.

worn pike
#

@hasty trail

#

Server Issue?

hasty trail
#

yes

worn pike
#

Whatsup?

hasty trail
#

the map is

#

grim expanse

worn pike
#

Guessing thats not an official server due to the modded map, have you checked to see if the server has been whitelisted to a steam group you'd need to be a member of before you play?

hasty trail
#

nope, let me see

worn pike
#

whats the server called?

hasty trail
#

Its called

#

I have to check 1 sec srry

worn pike
#

Np

hasty trail
#

its two servers actually

#

both of them wont work

#

they're called cookie jar

#

and survival instinct

worn pike
#

Mmmkay

rustic cedar
#

hey uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh when i try to go on a server that uses this one Nihilum map or whatever its alled, it doesnt let me join and gives me a pop up about how the map couldnt load

#

how do i fix it :/

worn pike
#

Give me a sec, lemme help Josh and I'll tag you ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

hasty trail
#

Im trying to join again

#

but its taking forever now

worn pike
hasty trail
#

no

#

the cookie jar 1

worn pike
#

Mmmkay do you have the Grim Expanse mod subbed in your Isle workshop?

hasty trail
#

yep

worn pike
#

and have you loaded it up in game?

#

Via the mods menu?

hasty trail
#

wait

#

doesn't it load up automatically everytime you join a server that needs mods?

#

if so I did that

#

and I needa restart the game

worn pike
#

Aye

#

Try that see if that works

hasty trail
#

alright

worn pike
#

@hasty trail Tag me when you're back

hasty trail
#

@worn pike it didnt work ;-;

worn pike
#

Mmmkay

#

Can you send me a screenshot of the message you get when you try load in?

hasty trail
#

yea

worn pike
#

cheers

hasty trail
#

it takes forever to load in

worn pike
#

Whats the ping of the server you're trying to connect to?

lilac thistle
#

@hasty trail Are you able to join official servers or unmodded servers without an issue?

hasty trail
#

like 50 or 100 something

#

yea

worn pike
#

It honestly sounds like a connection issue between you and the servers in question.

#

Have you played these same servers prior @hasty trail ?

hasty trail
#

well

#

it worked like

#

6 months ago

#

I had to get a new pc and that new pc I am using rn

#

and whenever I host a server for the map im trying to connect to it works

#

but when I join a server it just says connection to the server has been timied out

#

a server that haves the same map

fading vale
#

are you sure the server isnt full? I get that message a lot when the server im trying to connect to is full

hasty trail
#

its not full

#

theres only 4 players on

#

something like that

valid wharf
#

Okay, so.... I just got this game after finally affording it, but I tried to launch it and it's not working. The first time it ran perfectly fine. Now it refuses to open...

cinder abyss
#

Try to verify integrity of cache. @valid wharf

#

Do you know how to?

valid wharf
#

....Call me inexperienced, but what does that mean...?

#

...Also, no.

cinder abyss
#

I'll create a gif for you

lilac thistle
#

@valid wharf Two things you can do. Right click The Isle in your Steam library and left click "Reset Game Settings".

If that fails to work you can right click The Isle in your Steam library > left click properties > local files > browse local files > TheIsle > Binaries > Win64 > and launch the game via the .exe files (not the BE one) upon doing so you should be prompted with an error which you can post here.

valid wharf
#

Well, let me try these. Thanks guys!

#

@lilac thistle Okay, so I'm on the game's Win64 files. How do I run the game with this...?

lilac thistle
#

Left click theisle.exe (not the BE one)

#

or well double left click it

#

and it should run

valid wharf
#

So, I tried that, and it said reinstalling the game might fix the issue...

lilac thistle
#

what did it say exactly

#

Word for word.

#

I'm going to assume it said MSVCP140.DLL was missing?

valid wharf
#

Yep.

lilac thistle
#

Let me fetch you a link

valid wharf
#

Okay, they're downloading...

lilac thistle
#

Afterwards install the x64 first then the x86

valid wharf
#

Well, both Setups failed...

#

T^T

lilac thistle
#

What did they say?

valid wharf
#

0x80070666 - Another version of this product is already installed ...

lilac thistle
#

Does it provide you with any other options?

valid wharf
#

It says to go to the add/remove programs to reconfigure it...

lilac thistle
#

Oh ignore that

#

In that case just close it, and see if you're missing any Windows updates.

#

As that's most likely the issue then

#

I assume you're on Windows 10?

valid wharf
#

Yes.

lilac thistle
#

Do you know how to perform a Windows update?

valid wharf
#

Yes, and I check for updates... and it's up to date.

lilac thistle
#

Hm.

#

When was the last time you were able to play?

valid wharf
#

Like... three hours ago. Then I exited the game. When I tried to open it a sceond time, it never launched...

#

I literally bought the game in the evening...

lilac thistle
#

Visual Studio 2017, get the x86 and x64 versions. So the latest versions.

valid wharf
#

Okay, I have them downloaded.

lilac thistle
#

Installed?

valid wharf
#

Yep.

lilac thistle
#

Does it work?

valid wharf
#

...Well, I'm reinstalling the game, so... I have no idea.

lilac thistle
#

Why are you reinstalling the game?

valid wharf
#

When it reccommended me to reinstall the game to fix the issue, I kind of did that.

lilac thistle
#

That error is just a standard microsoft error, it's basically prompting to you install the missing microsoft file.

#

Hence the links I sent

valid wharf
#

....Well I did it before you sent them on accident.

#

Then I realized that kind of later one...

#

0_0 Sorry.

lilac thistle
#

That's fine. Anyway, how long will it take?

valid wharf
#

Like 30 minutes or so?

#

...Yeah, it doesn't take long to install. Unlike ARK or.... ESO.

lilac thistle
#

In that case I'll head to bed as it's like 4:38am here, your issue should be fixed if those files installed without any issues. If not just tag one of my moderators and they'll take over, if any of that doesn't work feel free to send me a PM and I'll reply to it once I wake up.

valid wharf
#

Okay. Thank you so much for your help.

pearl oxide
#

@valid wharf Are you having problems still?

valid wharf
#

Nope, it's running. Granted, I may need to mess with the visual setting to get it running smoothly.

#

Because it's on epic an it is... slow.

#

Like Puertasaurus slow...

pearl oxide
#

Hmm, what's your GPU again?

#

Or are you familiar with computer hardware?

valid wharf
#

...I am not, unfortunately.

#

But, I am running this on a laptop, so that might explain some of it.

pearl oxide
#

It means you probably have more limited hardware, but with a good enough setup you can still play easily. My laptop (which was stupidly expensive, don't ask how much) runs the game at about 80-120 fps most of the time

#

You're running Windows 10?

valid wharf
#

Yep.

pearl oxide
#

Do me a favor and press Windows+R, and then type "dxdiag" and press Enter

#

If it gives you a popup window just hit Yes

#

You'll wind up with a window with 4 tabs

valid wharf
#

Okay.

pearl oxide
#

I'm curious what your Processor (first tab) and your display device (second tab) is

valid wharf
#

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.7GHz

#

...that's my, um, processor.

pearl oxide
#

Yessir

#

The second tab has a little box titled Device, just gimme the Name

valid wharf
#

Intel(R) HD Graphics 620

pearl oxide
#

Hmm, does it list a second device anywhere?

valid wharf
#

...Nope.

pearl oxide
#

Hmm... Unless I'm overlooking something, then your only graphics device is on-board. It's not a gaming laptop then

#

If that's the case, you unfortunately probably will always struggle with the framerate for this game

#

If you dumb down the settings as much as possible, including lowering the resolution, you might get it in a playable state, but that is the best advice I can offer in that case :(

#

When a computer is below minimum specs for a game this is what you're faced with

valid wharf
#

...Oh.

pearl oxide
#

If you really want to play the game, it's worth a try to see what you can do, but my only recommendation in this case is to use a machine that's designed to play games :\

#

Re-reading the conversation earlier, you said that it was working fine the first time you launched it?

obsidian smelt
#

anyone know how to move the game from one monitor to another? it opens on my 2nd monitor which I dont want it on but I cant figure out how to move it

hazy ingot
#

How do I update my AMD graphic driver

cinder abyss
hazy ingot
#

thanks

cinder abyss
#

Np

#

This one

hazy ingot
#

no update

lilac hound
#

my isle stops working before it gets into the sever: a bad_module _info ends up popping up, can someone explain to me why

cinder abyss
#

I'd say update video drivers, or Windows 10.

#

Force a reinstall of the GPU drivers if they're already updated.

lilac hound
#

last question than how do i do a force reinstall on the gpu driver

#

let me also say this problems seems to only effect me on officail us 2

cinder abyss
#

Do you have NVIDIA or AMD?

#

Do you know how to check?

lilac hound
#

NVIDA

late tulip
#

Ok so I'm trying to figure out how to get this to stop happening. It boggles my mind why my computer does this, and it only does it for the Isle. I have duel monitors. One is a tv connected with HDMI, the other is a brand new monitor connected with DVI. Both hooked up directly into the 970 GFX GeForce card I have. Every time I start up the isle, the little box with the raptor and jeep show up on my monitor (Which is set up as the primary display) which is all good and grand. However, then the game loads up on my T.V. instead of my monitor. Now prior I had an older VGA monitor I had hooked up through an adaptor to the DVI port and thought this could have been causing the issue. But now I have a new monitor hooked up right. And it still happens. I can do Shift+windows key+arrow key to move it over to my monitor each time. But honestly I'd like to have it boot up normal like all my other games. Anything I can do on my end to fix this? or at least does anyone have an explaination to why this keeps happening? Mostly I just want to know why, totally boggled as to why it happens at all in the first place.

cinder abyss
lilac hound
#

thanks

cinder abyss
#

np

lilac hound
#

fixed

cinder abyss
#

sweet!

#

@late tulip I'd contact @lilac thistle on that one.

late tulip
#

Yeah... well it doesn't keep me from playing the game so it's not like it's detrimental or warrents immediate attention. Just sorta if anyone else knew the cause it'd be cool to know why is all lol

#

not tag someone worthy of an issue

lilac thistle
#

@late tulip You can tag me for any issue you like, what's what I'm here for.

late tulip
#

Thanks punch. I just know you take care of so many issues for people, my issue seems minor compared to those who have game breaking ones. I just want to know why it never wants to display correctly on load up. It's not a big thing, I just have to readjust my graphic settings each time I load up to make it work right on the monitor I want it on is all. I really am just wondering why it does that more then anything else.

cinder abyss
#

Do you have both plugged into your GPU?

late tulip
#

yep

#

the isle is the only game that does it

#

and it's funny cause the little loading box with the raptor and jeep boots up on the correct screen, but then the game itself displays on the tv instead of the monitor every time and I have to force it over

lilac thistle
#

Last time I heard of an issue like this reset game settings fixed it.

#

You can do that by right clicking on The Isle in your Steam library and left click "reset game settings"

late tulip
#

ok cool. I'll give that a go

#

And no. I did that and all it did was load up the game.

lilac thistle
#

Hm.

late tulip
#

Yeah, just sorta weird. Could just be my computer secretly likes to screw with me. lol

cinder abyss
#

Did you do a fresh reinstall? Meaning deleting all of the files left in steamapps/common @alpine tiger

alpine tiger
#

Yes,

cinder abyss
#

Have you updated your GPU/Windows?

alpine tiger
#

I have, and nothing seems to work

cinder abyss
#

Try to force a reinstall of your GPU, and let me know how that works.

#

Other games launch correctly yes?

alpine tiger
#

only ARK, and Skyforge, Elder Scrolls online the ise are the only games that dont l;aunch

#

and ill go double check my GPU

cinder abyss
#

ARK, Elder Scrolls Online, and Isle all have splashscreens when they load.

#

I'm thinking that's not a coincidence.

alpine tiger
#

hmm

cinder abyss
#

Not sure if Skyforge does

#

Yeah, it does.

alpine tiger
#

weird

cinder abyss
#

Try to run Steam as administrator.

alpine tiger
#

ok

cinder abyss
#

Exit it, right click Steam.exe and run it as admin

#

Try to launch said games.

alpine tiger
#

alright

#

Nothing, Skyforge and Ark are the only ones able to run

cinder abyss
#

So those two work now?

alpine tiger
#

Skyforge and ARK already ran fine

#

before hand too, The Isle and ESO havent

#

(mainly the isle)

cinder abyss
#

Do you know how to check your specs?

#

If so, what are they?

alpine tiger
#

yes

#

ok

#

oh lord, they changed how to in W10 >.<

#

how to get to it*

#

do i pm the screenshot or just send it here?

cinder abyss
#

basically run dxdiag

#

save all information

#

send me the text file

alpine tiger
#

ok

#

Sent

cinder abyss
#

I'm not really sure on this one. @alpine tiger it's very odd that you've tried everything and nothing has worked.

#

Your specs seem fine

alpine tiger
#

h,,

cinder abyss
#

At this point I would recommend a fresh install of Windows 10 if you can

alpine tiger
#

hmm*

#

x.x

#

ok

cinder abyss
#

I'll tag @lilac thistle so he sees it when he wakes up.

alpine tiger
#

ok

surreal timber
#

So, I posted on the steam forums about a problem a couple of days ago and Punchpacket asked for system specifications, but hasn't really replied since then. How long does it usually take for things to get resolved there?

#

Sorry for being impatient, it is just that the problem that I am having is something that seriously impacts my ability to play the game :')

lilac thistle
#

@surreal timber PM me your forum thread

#

@alpine tiger Right click The Isle in your Steam library > left click properties > local files > browse local files > TheIsle > Binaries > Win64 > launch the game via theisle.exe (not the BE one), after doing so you should be prompted with a very specific error.. What does it say entirely?

tawny sigil
#

I have this now sice a few days .. i tried reinstalling the game or changing the beta version but nothing could help.
And ingame when I host a game I cant move my view ... Everything works fine but its like I have no mouse attached

warped light
#

I am not entirely sure if this is a bug or not, which is why I'm putting it here instead of bug reports. My unofficial , and recently modded server (empyris skin mod) is having a brand new problem with bodies despawning in about 8 minutes or less, despite the timer being set to 600. It was previously 200, and was working as intended. Then we switched to sandbox for Saturday and it seemed to break.. and now we're back in progression and it's still not working. If anyone had any ideas, or could point me in the right direction to look for more help, I would greatly appreciate it.

pearl oxide
#

If it's a modded server I'm actually not sure that I can offer you much help. It actually sounds like the mod is what's causing it, so to confirm that I would try uninstalling the mod and see if the issue is still there. If not, you may have to take it up with the mod creator

warped light
#

we've considered that and you may be right. We just weren't sure if we should talk to the devs, pingperfect, or the mod creators. It only seemed to happen after the last patch and coincidentally while we were in sandbox. we had the mod the day before in progression without any issue. but I will try them next, because I am aware it's very possible. Thank you for the quick response Souretsu

pearl oxide
#

Sure. If I can do anything else please feel free to DM or tag me

lilac thistle
#

@tawny sigil Do you have Windows 10 out of curiosity?

tawny sigil
#

Yup

lilac thistle
#

@tawny sigil At the bottom left of your taskbar you should have a grey search bar, type CMD into it and you'll see something called Command Prompt available in the search list. Right click that and left click "Run as Administrator", you'll most likely be prompted to click yes/run, do so. Afterwards you'll see a blackbox pop up, type "netsh winsock reset" without the " ", hit enter and wait a few seconds. Afterwards restart your computer and it should be fixed.

tawny sigil
#

Thx for the very detailed explanation ^^ ... one moment pls

#

hmm didnt work

lilac thistle
#

Hm.

#

What does it say within the command prompt when you type that command? @tawny sigil

tawny sigil
#

that i gotta restart

lilac thistle
#

did you restart your computer?

tawny sigil
#

of course

lilac thistle
#

Hm.

#

Try restarting your computer one more time, if that fails to work we'll try something else.

tawny sigil
#

i just did ill try now to start the game

#

yes now it works .. it now doesnt have these green borders too

#

i think my compouter has problems with restarting

#

because now i restarted it manuely

#

thx for the help

lilac thistle
#

Happy to help

dire topaz
#

Why wont AI spawn in my host server? I have it on survival mode and i increased the spawn rate in the saved gam.ini file

honest river
pearl oxide
#

Try doing a clean installation, that usually does the trick when I have issues like that

#

Just remember to actually remove The Isle folder from your Steam folder before redownloading

honest river
#

Alright, thanks

pearl oxide
#

Yup, if that doesn't work feel free to tag/DM me

lilac thistle
#

That's generally not an issue with your installation per say, preallocating depends on the speed of your SSD/HDD.

honest river
#

It usually updates the game fine

#

And every other game

lilac thistle
#

It's basically reserving the necessary space if I'm not mistaken, then afterwards it begins the update.

#

That's just Steam being weird, as we don't have control over that part.

honest river
#

So I just wait?

lilac thistle
#

Pretty much, generally restarting Steam does the trick if it's taking too long. But it's not actually in the download phase yet, it's reserving the necessary space.

honest river
#

Alright

pearl oxide
#

Oh Punch is right, I'm sorry I didn't notice that it was pre-allocating still

#

Yeah, the preallocating can definitely take a while sometimes. Even on my SSD it can take minutes for the Isle's updates to do it. Don't be alarmed by that

honest river
#

Oki doki

royal steppe
#

Help im spawning in the sky and my screen is crooked. Really weird, restaring my game doesnt help

lilac thistle
#

@royal steppe Could you take a screenshot of your crooked screen?

royal steppe
#

Yeah

#

Oh

#

Well uh

#

Fixed itself i guess

#

I restarted for a third time and i wasnt in the sky

pearl oxide
#

Out of curiosity, was it the issue where your game screen is rotated 90 degrees? Or something else?

royal steppe
#

Yes

#

But in the sky falling to my death

swift lake
#

Tigerlily server?

royal steppe
#

Ha yeah that was me

#

But as stegosaurus

swift lake
#

Did it happen on Tigerlily server?

royal steppe
#

Yeah

swift lake
#

Again

#

Same issue

#

same server

pearl oxide
#

So did that picture

#

Yeah

#

Makes me think something's not kosher there

royal steppe
#

Pretty funny though

swift lake
#

Sounds like they fiddled with some settings over there

worn pike
#

See if you can find out if they've altered any of the games gravity ect Couch?

#

They have their own discord n' stuff

royal steppe
#

There this one spinosaur on the server right now who spawned in upside down

#

I can try

worn pike
#

I have yet to see this same issue occur in official servers so I'm with Black on this, seems like they've toyed with their settings

pearl oxide
#

Agree

royal steppe
#

I sent them a message inquiring about the possible server change

#

They said they did not change gravity but changed hosts

#

Also said they would look into the problem tomorrow

pearl oxide
#

Cool. I still can't give you a definite answer on the cause, but keep in mind that if it doesn't happen on the official servers, then it's almost never going to be a problem with the game itself

#

I do hope they get whatever it is sorted out though

alpine tiger
#

@lilac thistle it says bad image on the message then a bunch of numbers and letters

lilac thistle
#

@alpine tiger Could you provide a screenshot?

alpine tiger
#

One moment :) do I pm it?

lilac thistle
#

Up to you

alpine tiger
#

ok

lilac thistle
#

What's your operating system?

#

Windows 10, etc.

alpine tiger
#

its W10 yes,

lilac thistle
#

Let me fetch you a link..

alpine tiger
#

ok

lilac thistle
#

After you've downloaded them, install them both.

alpine tiger
#

ok

#

ill check bach in a few

#

ok, downloaded and both said setup conplete

lilac thistle
#

Try launching your game

alpine tiger
#

ok

#

Oh mah god your a godsend!!!! ty!!!\

lilac thistle

Happy to help!

@lilac thistle i have no idea what this means but my game wont launch and this pops up

lilac thistle
broken pasture
#

so i just downloaded the game recently, this is what appears when i try to open it in the files instead of in steam due to previous failures of launching in the steam app

lilac thistle
#

@broken pasture That means you need to run a Windows update, check that you're not missing any updates.

broken pasture
#

ill try that, thanks

honest river
#

i cant download the game
it wont download
any mods have any ideas for me

timber egret
#

Yo umm everytime i try playing the isle it start to run very slow and keep like if it was a scratch CD....whats going on (BTW) i just downloaded they game. Can it do with low space or something?

@honest river can you describe specifically what happens when you try to?

#

@MarinesForLife2020#4006 What are your system specs? Do you know how to find them?

#

Sorry guys I like literally just woke up

lilac thistle
#

@honest river That's an issue related to Steam or your internet. Also you may want to check that it's not just preallocating which depends on the speed of your HDD/SSD.

honest river
#

Anyone know this problem, that a mod say its unloaded and needs a restart even tho I've restated the game and steam it wont work.

pearl oxide
#

What server are you trying to connect to?

#

Is it giving you an error when connecting to a server, or is it happening at some other point?

blazing gull
#

So Iโ€™m unable to open the game. It does the cool new loading part, then just closes down. Any ideas?

lilac thistle
#

@blazing gull Right click The Isle in your Steam library > left click reset game settings. See if that solves your issue.

half basin
#

i have a problem where the shadows are all over the place when i play the game both day and night. is anyone else having this issue?

pearl oxide
#

Can you provide a screenshot of what you mean?

half basin
#

yeah sure wait a sec

pearl oxide
#

Sweet thanks

half basin
#

Well I couldn't get any screenshots as it only seems to happen specifically at night time or on when shadows are set on 'low' but essentially everytime i move in-game the shadows start move around sporadically. When I'm standing still they move in a normal manner, however. If I wanted to capture it I'd have to take a video which I don't know how to do in-game.

pearl oxide
#

Ah, I think I understand

#

That is unfortunately something that happens with the shadows when they are at their lowest settings. Low Shadows and Medium are the same thing right now, and medium shadows get really twitchy. If your system can handle it turning shadows to High or Epic will fix it.

half basin
#

Okay, thanks. All I needed to know that it isn't my GPU failing or something like that

pearl oxide
#

Yup, no worries, glad I could clear it up for you

gaunt urchin
#

i have a problem that my isle isnt updating for me and idk what to do

pearl oxide
#

Can you describe the problem in a little more detail?

gaunt urchin
#

like it says update queued but it isnt updating the game and ive been waiting for it to update

pearl oxide
#

What happens if you try to launch the game?

#

Steam should immediately try to update it if you launch it while an update is available

#

Otherwise it tends to do it on its own time

gaunt urchin
#

when i try to launch it it say preparing to launch the isle but it doesnt have any bars or an estimated time

pearl oxide
#

Does it actually boot the game up?

gaunt urchin
#

no

pearl oxide
#

From my experience issues like this seem to correct themselves by restarting Steam. If that doesn't fix it, reinstalling ought to

lilac thistle
#

No need to reinstall for that issue, it's most likely Steam just being slow.

pearl oxide
#

Fair enough

lilac mortar
#

hey I can't play the game anymore without getting any flickering on my screen. I can play games normally, but every time I play the Isle, it just keeps flickering on the screen. I can't post images because it won't get caught, nor can I share screens because it stabalises and then when I turn off screen share it does the flickering again. I've tried uninstalling+reinstalling, tried deleting my saved files, tried switching to Legacy branch, just nothing is working to remove the flickering. I lag as well, but no one is having the same issue as me

pearl oxide
#

It flickers with the Isle specifically? Double check to make sure your drivers are up to date, I will ask around in the meantime

#

@lilac mortar what are your graphics settings in The Isle?

lilac mortar
#

graphic settings are set to Low Shadows and everything else but view distance (epic) to medium @pearl oxide

pearl oxide
#

Ah, yeah

#

I was thinking your screen itself was flickering, the way you were describing it

#

Right now, Low and Medium shadows are the same thing, and they are unfortunately very flickery

#

If you set them to High or Epic it should stop

lilac mortar
#

I tried

#

it got a little bearable but its still noticeable and I'm laggy as well but I'm not lagging

pearl oxide
#

What hardware are you running on?

lilac mortar
#

Laptop Windows 10 with 940M

#

Nvidia

pearl oxide
#

Hmm. Yeah, my old laptop had a 960M and struggled to run shadows turned up, especially at a higher resolution

lilac mortar
#

yeah it just has trouble with epic shadows

#

do I stop playing The Isle until its fixed?

pearl oxide
#

I can't make that call for you, but if you do want to play currently you may have to make additional concessions with your graphcis settings

#

If you're running everything at lower settings already you may have to lower the resolution further or even increase the scaling

lilac mortar
#

I can try and leave it for now, and just wait it to be fixed

pearl oxide
#

Hopefully future optimizations make it easier for you. I know you're a regular. Unfortunately this is the main downside to running on a laptop :(

lilac mortar
#

very unfortunate, but its much appreciated. I can afford to wait

spiral egret
#

I can't update the game anymore since@patch !! I've verified game files, gone into legacy n back, n reinstalled game !!!! Is this a mac issue with new patch !!!

timid terrace
#

@spiral egret someone was having that problem today and they literally just logged out of steam and back in and it worked

#

try that first

spiral egret
#

@timid terrace lol ty, but ofc before all I've done I did that first

timid terrace
#

hmm

spiral egret
#

It@keeps on dling patches

#

N not really doing anything

#

I've dled like 50 patches atm ๐Ÿ˜ข

timid terrace
#

i've never heard of that one

#

punch can probably help you out there

spiral egret
#

I really got no clue

#

Guess maybe buy new pc TT

timid terrace
#

i doubt it's that drastic, just wait for punch and see if he can solve your issue

spiral egret
#

Ty

timid terrace
#

good luck

spiral egret
#

So now ive updated iOS, reinstalled steam, cleared download cache, changed dl location from Germany Munich to Germany Frankfurt n yet I can't update the client. And apparently the mod/devs don't care. Heavy hearted I guess I'll need 2 get a refund on steam

lilac thistle
#

@spiral egret What's your issue?

#

In the future tag us, otherwise we're most likely not going to see the question.

spiral egret
#

@lilac thistle hey, sorry but on other discord they don't let u tag mods

#

So didn't know if I can do it here

lilac thistle
#

Tag me all you want, it's what I'm here for.

spiral egret
#

I've tried everything, n the game client just won't update

#

Literally everything. Last step is a new pc but I lack the money

lilac thistle
#

What does it say? On the library, like update queued?

spiral egret
#

It says dling

#

It@shows its dling

#

When I go on manage dl

#

It doesn't do anything

#

Yet the dl@goes on 100%

lilac thistle
#

Does it say anything like preallocating?

spiral egret
#

Let me check for that again

lilac thistle
#

Ohh, sounds like you're referring to the unpacking stage. I.E when Steam starts writing everything to your hard drive.

spiral egret
#

Ok might be exactly

lilac thistle
#

When it comes to the Steam platform we have no control over that, generally it's to do with internet speed combined with HDD/SSD speed.

#

Think of it this way.. When your download is finished it needs to transfer/install that data to your hard drive, the speed of which your hard drive can transfer data somewhere is often the bottleneck. Take a screenshot of your download manager and I'll take a look.

spiral egret
#

K tu

#

Ty*

#

Well never had the issue before

#

It's the latest patch now, never had this problem

#

@lilac thistle

lilac thistle
#

Nothing in the download manager? That's odd.

spiral egret
#

Exactly

lilac thistle
#

I've seen this Steam issue before.. Let me find something real quick.

spiral egret
#

I've changed dl from location

#

Reinstalled steam

#

K ty

lilac thistle
#

Have you cleared your download cache?

spiral egret
#

Yes

lilac thistle
#

Hm..

spiral egret
#

I can try it again. Steam closes n reopens when I do that simply

lilac thistle
#

You're not in offline mode are you?

spiral egret
#

No xD

#

Guess wouldn't download the whole game in offline mode would it

#

Only thing is I have ofc family sharing, cuz of my alt dinos

#

This time it didn't even install anything just went into game

#

N still same error

lilac thistle
#

What does the error say?

spiral egret
#

N now it's updating again game with out anything happening

#

It's German but says I need 2 update

lilac thistle
#

Oh. Sounds more like Steam is syncing rather than downloading anything.

#

Where in-game does it tell you to update?

spiral egret
#

Ya it says really short synchronizing

#

Let me@show

#

Saying client is old

#

Game needs to be updated. Please restart steam and try again

lilac thistle
#

What branch of the game are you on?

spiral egret
#

The top one

#

Saying nothing - no betaprogramms

#

I've gone into legacy n back

lilac thistle
#

Are you able to join official servers?

spiral egret
#

Nope

#

I can try again but couldn't before reinstalling steam neither

lilac thistle
#

If that's the case it sounds like you might need to do a clean installation. Here's what you do, uninstall The Isle.. Then navigate into your Steam folder and manually delete The Isle's folder entirely. You may have corrupted content that is continuing to linger around, as uninstalling normally still leaves certain files behind.

spiral egret
#

Even on Mac? Since I drag all the files into the trash from library

lilac thistle
#

You're on Mac?

spiral egret
#

Ya I'm a Mac peasant

#

Broke student

lilac thistle
#

That might actually explain it.. The latest patch for the mac version might not actually be out yet, as the build servers release at different times. Often the Mac lags behind.

#

When was the last time you were able to play?

spiral egret
#

Hmm any other Mac users having the issue atm ? I mean I know a lot people who use Mac

#

Last night

#

1 am ish gtm

lilac thistle
#

In that case sounds as if the patch for Mac hasn't come out yet, sometimes the builds like to spend like a day getting to 90% then end up failing.

spiral egret
#

K Hope it really is a general issue n not only me

#

Dat break my heart

lilac thistle
#

Naw, that's impossible.

spiral egret
#

Cuz I'd think other people would also have the problem with Mac. Guess I'll wait for next patch

#

With my luck next patch will take weeks ๐Ÿ’”

lilac thistle
#

I'll ask a few other mac users if they are encountering the same issue, just gotta wait for them to come online due to timezones.

spiral egret
#

K ty. Asked on my Pangea discord but apparently no Mac user online

#

U mind tagging me if u get an answer from@other Mac users ?

lilac thistle
#

Yup, also feel free to tag/pm me if you've ever got any questions or such.

spiral egret
#

Ty. Sorry for the inconvenience.

lilac thistle
#

Nah, it's not an inconvenience at all.

#

It's what I'm here for ๐Ÿ˜„

spiral egret
#

Ty ๐Ÿ‘Œ I'll be waiting for a tag โœ…

lilac thistle

thorny flax
#

For some reason I can't see the US servers, only EU, is there a way for me to see US servers aswell?

pearl oxide
#

Server search times will be slightly longer but more consistent

thorny flax
#

Will do, thanks!

tall timber
#

ok so my game crash whenever i try to progress into anything. does anyone know what i can do to fix this problem?

pearl oxide
#

That's odd. Can you be a little more descriptive so I understand exactly what is happening?

tall timber
#

ok

#

so i was on a server called Isla Nublar and i was playing as a cerato. then i went to get something to eat and while i was afk they restarted the server. the server got restarted while i was still in the game and i got reset back to a herrera. after i got reset i could no longer progress to a cerato cuz the game thought i was playing as one. to fix that little issue i just suicided and restarted as a velo then went to herrera, cuz it does not take so long to get to cerato. well the problem is, after this ahppened... now when i click on Esc then progress everything is normal. but when i click on a dinosaur i want to progress into i get a little message and then the game shuts down. im gonna try again and type on here exacly what that message says

#

oh and i thought this problem only was for that server i was playing on, but i cant progress on any server now.. including the official ones

pearl oxide
#

Try verifying your game cache, do you know how to?

tall timber
#

Error

#

Out of video memory trying to allocate

#

oh shit it dissapeared

#

no i dont.

pearl oxide
#

Okay hang on I'll get you a picture

tall timber
#

and also

#

after the game shuts down my whole pc goes black for like 5 sec

pearl oxide
#

Right click on The Isle in your Steam Library, and choose Properties

#

Then click "Verify Integrity of Game Files"

tall timber
#

hang on

pearl oxide
#

It will do a file check, if anything is corrupted it will correct it

tall timber
#

oki, ill try

pearl oxide
#

If this doesn't fix it, please tag me

tall timber
#

does it take a long time?

pearl oxide
#

Usually a few minutes

tall timber
#

ok. ill come back if it does not fix it

pearl oxide
#

Alrighty, I will be here :)

tall timber
#

it did not work ๐Ÿ˜ฆ @pearl oxide

pearl oxide
#

Okay. So we'll need to take it a step further. I'd like you to do a clean installation of the game. You won't lose any of your server progress, but it might reset your graphics settings

tall timber
#

reinstall the game then?

pearl oxide
#

To do a clean installation, first we need to uninstall the Isle, and then go into your Steam folders and delete The Isle's folder as well

tall timber
#

ok

pearl oxide
#

This is because when you uninstall Steam will leave some files intact, in case you wanted to play the game again

#

So we want to remove all traces of the game from your Steam folder, and then reinstall it

tall timber
#

do i click on uninstall battle eye or just uninstall

pearl oxide
#

Just uninstall

tall timber
#

ok done

pearl oxide
#

Now right click it in your Library, go to Properties and Local Files again

#

Click Browse Local Files, and delete the folder that it puts you inside, titled "The isle"

#

Once you do that, just install it again like normal

tall timber
#

i cant click on browse local files

pearl oxide
#

What do you mean?

tall timber
#

its there, but its not ''clickable''

pearl oxide
#

Oh, okay

#

Here I'll get you the default file path

tall timber
#

i can click on it on all the games that i have installed

#

but not on the isle

lilac thistle
#

If you uninstall you can't access it via browse local files, has to be installed to do that.

#

Otherwise you need to go to the file manually via your steam directory

pearl oxide
#

Oh, makes sense

#

Right then, I'll get you the file path

#

The default is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Isle

#

If you go into your file explorer and find that folder, delete it

short oak
#

I have trouble finding the US official servers; I could play them like a week ago, but cant find em now

pearl oxide
#

You're able to pick up unofficial servers still?

short oak
#

yea, can see official EU servers, just not US, i tried changing download region but that didn help either

short oak
#

im trying, sec

pearl oxide
#

Sure thing

tall timber
#

cant acctually fin the file

short oak
#

worked, thank you very much โค

pearl oxide
#

Anytime Noodle

#

@tall timber Try doing a search for the file, that will work too just takes longer

#

If you already know where your Steam folder is located, the path from that point will always be the same

tall timber
#

i did a search and nothing happened

#

tried to look manually but i cant seem to find it

pearl oxide
#

Steam should be located either in Program Files (x86) or maybe just Program Files

tall timber
#

im trying for a search again

pearl oxide
#

Actually, you said you can view Local Files for your other games, just do that, and then go up the file path until you get to where you need to be

tall timber
#

dude istantly got to it that way

#

thx

pearl oxide
#

Yup yup

#

So once you delete your The Isle folder, reinstall like normal and that should fix it

tall timber
#

delete the whole thing then reinstall

pearl oxide
#

Just delete the folder titled The Isle

#

You can leave everything else lol

tall timber
#

i dont need to restart steam or anything now. just reinstall?

pearl oxide
#

Just reinstall, yeah

tall timber
#

lets try it

#

brb

pearl oxide
#

This should correct any and all issues related to the game software itself

#

So if this doesn't fix it, we have something else on our hands

tall timber
#

omg yes it took a fuck ton of time but its fixed now

pearl oxide
#

Awesome to hear man

valid atlas
lilac thistle
#

@valid atlas Could you provide some context?

valid atlas
#

Twice I tried to join Nightshine-Deathmatch and it's given that to me. I was just in the server so I don't know why it's showing this now.

lilac thistle
#

Are you able to join official servers without issue?

valid atlas
#

I will check

lilac thistle
#

If so it's most likely an issue with their servers rather than the game

valid atlas
#

Loaded into EU 4 okay.

#

But why would it start all of a sudden when I was playing on the server only a few minutes before?

lilac thistle
#

No idea

timid terrace
#

I had that problem before, and verifying game files fixed it

#

May want to give it a try

valid atlas
#

I deleted my saved file and verified my game files twice. Didn't fix it. Now I'm getting it when trying to join US 3.

#

So it's a game problem now.

valid atlas
#

So I restarted my computer and that seemed to fix it for now. I was able to log into US 3.

warped light
#

Are entire servers going down just part of the kicks that are being experienced game wide right now, or could that be a separate issue .. like with pingperfect?

warped light
#

actually it just seems to be our server going down randomly. all we've done with it is update it each patch. ๐Ÿคท guess we have to talk to pingperfect

gaunt urchin
#

sorry if i havent been responding yesterday but i still have the problem where my game doesnt want to update i checked the downloads and it say preallocating

pearl oxide
#

Preallocating can take a while depending on a few variables. How long have you waited?

gaunt urchin
#

i just got on my desktop just now

pearl oxide
#

Hmm, okay. Give it a little while and see what happens. If you open another game it will pause your update to conserve resources. If you try and launch The Isle with an update queued it should start the process of updating immediately

gaunt urchin
#

was there an update today?

pearl oxide
#

Several, yes

lilac thistle
#

Even that's an understatement

pearl oxide
#

Deathly's been a busy man today

gaunt urchin
#

true

#

poor deathly

pearl oxide
#

Either way, try and let Steam handle the updates. If you notice anything particularly strange let us know here

urban cradle
#

cant connect to any servers, can anyone help me out? it gives me a really long loading screen and just shits me back out on the main menu with an error about a timed out connection

#

it happens with every server, I've never encountered this before and it's not my internet

lilac mortar
#

so the flickering on my screen just keeps happening. I know we've tried about everything, and I just tried deleting my saved files and even reset the settings to epic, but now every server I log into, it starts flickering like as if its going all static like the main menu when you first start the game and I'm lagging on my end. My friends say that I'm not lagging to them at all.

burnt sonnet
#

First person isn't working for me

#

I press P and absolutely nothing happens

lilac thistle
#

@burnt sonnet Try resetting your game settings.

#

@urban cradle Ensure that you've added an exclusion for the entire Isle folder to your anti-virus/firewall.

#

@lilac mortar As in shadows flickering?

lilac mortar
#

screen flickering

lilac thistle
#

Got V-sync on?

lilac mortar
#

nope

lilac thistle
#

Try turning it on

lilac mortar
#

omg it helped!

#

thank you!

#

thank you so much Punch!

lilac thistle
#

You're welcome, generally V-sync will solve screen tearing issues as it'll lock your FPS count to a maximum of 60, very useful for monitors with a maximum refresh rate of 60.

lilac mortar
#

that's very useful. I'll keep it in mind

lilac thistle
#

@lilac mortar It might also be a good idea to set your smooth fps to 60 as well.

lilac mortar
#

can do!

burnt sonnet

alright the problem's fixed

Ok I'm running into an issue. I was trying to play on the A-001 map server. I was on there. all was fine. Then I got kicked off due to connection. Went to connect again and it said my game was out of date. Ok. Close the isle. No update. full exit and restart steam. No update. Go to load the isle, then it puts the whole loading show on wait to download the update. Go through that. Try again. Same thing, out of date. Close steam, restart steam. No update. Go to open isle, it wont load due to update.....but I cannot get it to 'update' normal means through steam. Anyone have any idea what I can do that isn't going to require a full uninstall/reinstall?

shell pond
#

I'm also having the same issue as Shy, I updated the game for dev branch & it's saying i'm out of date, i'm not getting any other updates and i've been pretty good with keeping this up to date all day & as soon as a patch comes out as it is set to high priority.

pearl oxide
#

Hmm. Try verifying your game cache or reinstalling. This is probably not the ideal solution but it's the only one I'm able to think of, as I'm not too familiar with that one

shell pond
#

tried verifying already, reinstalling now, will let you know if it works or not.

pearl oxide
#

Sure, hopefully that does the trick

wise island
#

I'm having an odd bit of trouble. Upon launching the game my game launches BattlEye as I've asked it to do, but BattlEye seems to hang upon start-up? Any ideas? I've verified the game cache already and uninstalled/reinstalled to no avail. The game runs fine without BattlEye (with the exception of getting kicked b/c of no BattlEye running, or straight up a server won't let me in without it running), but trying to start-up with it and I run into that hang-up

#

This is all I see

wise island
#

So I gave uninstalling the BattlEye folder a try, verified the game files again to get it back and it's now failing to install BattlEye. oi vay.

proven gazelle
#

battleyes always been trouble since it appeared in the game world tbh imo ever since they started with ark now the isle its causing more frustration and trouble than its worth having

#

i understand games need an anticheat but just not this anticheat

pearl oxide
#

When you say you uninstalled the folder, did you like, actually uninstall it or did you delete the folder?

lilac thistle
#

@wise island Go into the BattlEye folder in your Isle folder, run the uninstaller for BattlEye, after it's uninstalled launch The Isle normally.

wise island
#

I tried that and that's where I was running into issues.

lilac thistle
#

According to this... That particular problem means you have something on your computer that is preventing it from launching.

wise island
#

Yeah last night I was in the process of rebooting the comp and sorting out if my windows defender was causing issue but it got too late so I went to bed. Atm power is off on my apt but when it's back I'll tinker some more.

lilac thistle
#

Aye aye, feel free to tag/pm me when you're back.

wise island
#

I had tried turning windows defender off too last night and it was still running ijnto issues reinstalling battle eye.

#

Ok thank you

wise island
#

@lilac thistle Whatever the reboot did, I returned made sure the windows defender was off (even though I tried that last night) and the game was able to I assume install battleye as im now in the game having told it to install. It must've been something fucky with my computer that needed a reboot. But the issue seems to have been resolved.

lilac thistle
#

@wise island Glad to hear!

pearl oxide
#

The tried and true method of turning it off, then turning it on again

wise island
#

basically xD

worn forge
#

any reason why I keep getting kicked from all servers? My internet is fine, I'm very confused

#

I've tried both official and non official

#

my game is also up to date

#

nvm think it's fixed

gaunt urchin
#

ok for some reason the game is updating and now when i check the download when its preallocating i can see that the blue bar always stops when its updating everytime i turn off my desktop and turn it back on it does the same thing it updates then it stops idk why its doing that my internet is fine and everything

lilac thistle
#

@gaunt urchin Preallocating means it's reserving space on your drive, the process depends on the speed of your SSD/HDD.

late tulip
#

I had to uninstall Isle and I'm reinstalling it cause it still says I'm out of date on my game when trying to go to the A-001 map. Nothing else was working, not even turning it off and on again. I'm hoping a fresh install will work. Even went in and deleted 'The Isle' that was left when I uninstalled it just to be safe.

lilac thistle
#

@late tulip If you're behind an update just restart steam

late tulip
#

I tried that several times

#

and I even tried restarting the computer

#

I could connect to the other servers just fine, just not the AE-001 map.

lilac thistle
#

You're most likely on a different branch of the game then

late tulip
#

always said my game was out of date

wise island
#

are you on dev branch or legacy?

late tulip
#

I'm on the normal branch. not legacy.

lilac thistle
#

are you on mac

late tulip
#

Nope windows 10

lilac thistle
#

what version does it say you have on the main menu

late tulip
#

I figured fresh install was my best bet after trying everything else so I'm in the middle of that now

lilac thistle
#

Aye aye, tag me when you've installed

late tulip
#

Np. Will do. it's going to be a while. lol. 1.2mb/s

late tulip
#

@lilac thistle I think I fixed my issue. I wasn't aware dev branch was made public again in the beta's option. I knew it was something I did wrong rather then something wrong with the game.

#

just waiting for dev branch to download to test it out.

lilac thistle
#

Ah, that's most likely what it was.

late tulip
#

Yeah sorry for the waste of time.

lilac thistle
#

@late tulip It's not a waste of time at all, feel free to message me if you've got questions or need assistance. ๐Ÿ‘

late tulip
#

thanks punch. You're awesome ^.^

gaunt urchin
#

sorry for responding but i get that but it pauses everytime when its updating even when its preallocating

lilac thistle
#

@gaunt urchin That's most likely it pausing to write information to your hard drive, which happens mid-download every so often.

keep getting the "pending connection failure" error when trying to log into any servers (official and private)

the battleye laucher with the info (picture below) started poping up at the same time that this issue started (today after i downloaded last nights patches) but im not sure if they are related

#

i already went through the battleye faq to the blocked loading of file error

#

also verified file integrity

#

issue still appears (restarting my computer didnt fix it either)

native grove
#

issue fixed itself after the last patch

pearl oxide
#

Hmm, good to know. I'm not 100% sure on the cause though if I'm being honest

zenith niche
#

This is kind of a dumb question, but I'm not super super smart with computers... just above average I guess. Anyways I just wanted to know if someone could check out my specs and tell me if I should be getting higher than 25 FPS on most maps with high settings.... And what the cheapest options to upgrade would be

Awesome, thanks.... I'll PM it so I dont clutter this chat

Does anyone have the issue where the game is set to boot in Fullscreen but it only fills the top-left of your screen? I can fix it by going back to windowed-fullscreen at which it filled the entire screen regardless, and then I set it to regular full-screen.

lilac thistle
#

@delicate ore Try this: Right click The Isle in your Steam library > left click Reset Game Settings

delicate ore
#

Thanks Punch!

PM me your system specs. You'll need to do so in quarters due to discords character limits.

hey guys, my 1st person does not work, can someone help?

Using p to switch doesn't work?

honest river

yep

#

Try reseting your game settings by right clicking the isle in steam and choosing the reset game settings option

honest river
#

okay

#

sec an update

#

still doesnt work

#

is there a way to reset in-game settings?

chrome basin
#

@lilac thistle im N i n a on steam, i responded on your message there.

lilac thistle
#

Aye aye

#

@honest river Toot's message above yours tells you how to reset your in-game settings

honest river
#

oh okay i tought it resets some other settings... but yes i did i and it still doesnt work goddmn

lilac thistle
#

@honest river Ensure that you're joining an experimental server.

honest river
#

yeah it works now. i had to restart steam and reset the settings again

#

Thanks for help ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

okay, so uhm. I have this issue when I log into any and all servers. when i log in some black shapes appear all over my screen and i can't see through them at all

#
#

screenshots of my issue-

#

I've tried:
Uninstalling and reinstalling the game
Verifying the game files
Resetting game settings
Restarting my computer
Updating graphics driver

nothing has worked so far

#

however, they don't appear when I'm in legacy mode

#

this was all after the patch earlier with the new models being put in

okay, should be sent!

I'm having trouble getting my location to save as a tribal. I'm on US 4 (region 2). I've tried safe logging, quick logging, then reset my game settings. When I log back in, I'm back at my spawn point.

I had another tribal test to see if they could log out and save their location, and they were successful.

lilac thistle
#

@nova cedar I've experienced that myself a few times, I think it might just be a random bug now and then.

nova cedar
#

I tried logging out several times, and each time was the same result.

pearl oxide
#

I have no lead on that myself, but haven't noticed the problem either

#

So if others are not having the problem it might be fair to assume it's something on your end, at least from a troubleshooting standpoint

nova cedar
#

Yeah exactly, that's why I posted here, but for the life of me I don't know what it could be. Everything was fine before (and really always has been).

#

As a note, everything else saves just fine for me, but all of a sudden, tribal won't. I've been playing the hell outta tribal too, and only ran into this today.

pearl oxide
#

If you have the time and bandwidth, and don't mind doing it, you could always try doing a reinstall or clean install. At the very least, that will ensure that it isn't a problem with the game software at that point

nova cedar
#

Noted. I'm hoping to save that as a last resort.

pearl oxide
#

You said you tried Reseting the Game Settings as well as verifying your files?

nova cedar
#

I did, yeah.

pearl oxide
#

That is unfortunately about the extent of generic troubleshooting advice I can give, then :(

nova cedar
#

S'all good. A for effort.

pearl oxide
#

If it makes you feel any better I had to reinstall again too recently, but for different reasons

#

It's usually the most sure-fire solution for these random hiccups though

cunning peak
#

UPDATE: just logged in to see if the new patch fixed my issue and...
Trees are semi transparent now and I can walk through them ;-;

wooden wren
#

Wow

#

Ghost trees

cunning peak
#

Yup

#

I honestly doubt it's me... I've tried literally everything I can do to fix it and no dice

nova cedar
#

So I reinstalled my game, but my tribal still isn't getting saved no matter what I do. :/

cunning peak
#

Still no luck with my issue rip. Been hoping it'd be fixed with patches

wintry pond
#

@pearl oxide Really appreciate it, thank you!

pearl oxide
#

@nova cedar After trying repeatedly (to get more of a sample size) I can't seem to get Dev 1 to save my position as a tribal either, so it may not be you after all

nova cedar
#

@pearl oxide Not to pull anyone else down into this hole with me, but that's good to hear.

pearl oxide
#

All a part of identifying the problem, no worries

nova cedar
#

See if you can save or not on a normal official server as well if you would please. I know with me, I can't get a tribal to save on any server at all.

pearl oxide
#

I tried on Dev 2 as well, which is on region 2 instead of AE-001. It saved my position the first time I logged, but never did again after. Tried about a dozen times. I don't want to bog up this channel though, so if you have anything further regarding it let's just take it to #401465522815893506

Restarting computer does not help
Reinstalling the game did not help
Antivirus is turned off
Ran with and without anti-cheat

pearl oxide
#

Are any other games doing this?

#

This sounds like an issue with Steam rather than the game

pearl oxide
#

No spam guys

lilac thistle
#

@left orbit Do you have Windows 10?

left orbit
#

No

#

I have 8.1

lilac thistle
#

@left orbit Do you know how to bring up your command prompt (CMD) ?

left orbit
#

Yep

lilac thistle
#

@left orbit Sorry for the delay. Right, bring up your command prompt (run it as an administrator) and type "netsh winsock reset" without the " ", afterwards hit enter.. Wait a few seconds and do a manual restart on your PC.

jovial geyser
#

idk if it might be usefull to know but i discovered what was causing my crashes, i had -dx12 in launch option and i suppose the new engine version doesnt like it

lilac thistle
#

@jovial geyser Ah, that explains it. I hadn't encountered that issue for a long while, thank you for reminding me of the solution. It'll certainly come in handy with helping others ๐Ÿ‘

glad to be helpfull, and thanks for having tried to help me

Okay

Wait pls

I do

Just restart the computer?

My problem is completed

happens with both unofficial and official ^

lilac thistle
#

@left orbit Happy to help.

@trim pier Have you tried adding an exclusion to your anti-virus/firewall?

velvet quartz
#

I'm having a problem with modded servers, whenever i try to join a modded server the Pending Connection Failure message shows. Unmodded servers including official and unofficial are fine

trim pier
#

I'll try that in a bit

trim pier
#

@lilac thistle Added an exclusion to malwarebytes and windows firewall still the same issue

#

mb for tag

lilac thistle

@trim pier You can tag me whenever you want, that's what I'm here for ๐Ÿ˜›

trim pier
#

alright, cool

lilac thistle
#

Hm, have you tried resetting your game settings?

trim pier
#

I'll try that now

#

Didn't work, going to do a quick PC restart and see where that goes

#

infact, it crashed this time

lilac thistle
#

Any error?

trim pier
#

Nope, but the restart fixed it. Thanks Punch

pearl oxide

Score one more for "turn it off, then turn it back on"

Also my Isle just randomly had uninstalled itself. Itโ€™s installed now but for some reason it had just randomly uninstalled.

cunning peak
#

I'm wondering if my issue has something to do with the foliage update from the patch with the new rex and utah models? I noticed while in the little developement map server that the glitching issue i'm having with the stretching black shapes and nearly invisivible trees only appeared near the tree section of the map

spiral egret
#

And again a patch is out which causes issues for Mac Users. At one point it's quite miserable to bring out patches which ruin the game for all the mac users! How about not rolling 10 patches out a week? This is a pain

#

Again it's not possible 2 update client

worldly pebble
#

im having problems with the servers, i get various amounts of servers(none of which im looking for) depending on what settings i check, and most times half of the servers that do show up are in a language that i don't understand

lilac thistle
#

@worldly pebble Are you trying to find community servers or official ones?

worldly pebble
#

@lilac thistle official servers

cunning peak
#

For some reason my game isn't doing the updates when I try and launch it

pearl oxide
#

Can you describe what happens?

cunning peak
#

It just loads like normal

#

Without updating the new patches

pearl oxide
#

Are updates disabled in any way for the game?

cunning peak
#

ohhh that might be it

#

just noticed it's set as "Always keep this game up to date"

#

But usually even with this set I have to launch the game to get the update

pearl oxide
#

Double check your updates settings in the Downloads section of your Steam Settings as well

#

"Always keep this game up to date" should be fine, that is the default for every game

fallen stag
#

Having server issues. Server is through ping but doesn't show in the list unless it is refreshed numerous times. Ping claimed it is on the isle side and not on there and. Any ideas. Also posted in the servers channel

pearl oxide
#

One moment

fallen stag
#

Yup

pearl oxide
#

Did you try lowering it further, to 250 too?

fallen stag
#

Ping ran a check and it shows in the steam list. And ya I did 250 as well.

lilac thistle
#

I'd say set it to about 1000 and set the max results on the actual Isle server browser to 1000, then refresh.

fallen stag
#

I'll give it a try. Thanks

honest river
sweet dawn
lilac thistle
#

@sweet dawn It doesn't filter by region, there is just lots of chinese servers. Just turn your max results up to a 1000

sweet dawn
#

ok. Thank you!

#

@trail hare try posting about the graphics problem here. Tell us what server it is on and what you have done to try to fix it so far

trail hare
#

the sever is little foot and i updated the game a while ago and this just happend

#

i have not really tryed to fix it because how would you evn

pearl oxide
#

I actually kind of wonder if it's a driver issue

#

What are your system specs? And are your drivers updated?

trail hare
#

it would be strange if it was because my game has worked up until now

pearl oxide
#

The game's engine was updated recently, which may or may not have some driver compatibility issues

#

It's all about eliminating possibilities

trail hare
#

i have a quadro fx 3800 card

pearl oxide
#

Hmm. The minimum requirements for The Isle is a GTX 760 or better. Looking at some comparisons, that card is only operating at about 15% of what a 760 would do, putting it well under minimum requirements. But, I've seen others with this issue before, let me do a bit of research and I'll see if I can come up with anything

trail hare
#

ive manged to slipe by for so long , sucks no , well better make a quick trip to amazon

pearl oxide
#

It looks like in previous cases where this showed up, it was always on a rig that was below minimum specs. It may just be the video card unfortunately :(

#

As for the actual cause, I can't think of what would cause it besides the engine update or maybe the fact that Low shadows no longer does anything (it is the same as Medium atm)

trail hare
pearl oxide
#

Yeah I feel you man. Sorry I can't do more, but I'm calling it case closed for now

trail hare
#

thanks for sovlving the problem

velvet quartz
#

I am still having the same problem with modded servers not working and the connection already pending message poping up.

pearl oxide
#

Hmm. I can't guarantee I know a solution but I'll see what I can come up with. Tell me in as much detail as you can what the issue you're experiencing is, as well as anything you've tried to fix it

fallen stag
#

Anyone know or where I can find the command line to run the ae map was told it's available but not sure

velvet quartz
#

Sorry, um well any mod i use on any modded server ive tried (with the right mod) it simply gives me the Connection pending message. All unmodded servers work. I've tried restarting my game and system a lot and trying it without battle eye and with. Nothing has worked.

pearl oxide
#

Do you get the same result with unmodded, official servers? And are the servers you are trying to join occupied, and also using the correct version of the game?

#

Just eliminating possibilities here

velvet quartz
#

All unmodded servers, official and unofficial work fine, none of the servers i tried were full, and my game is always updated to the latest version.

pearl oxide
#

They weren't full, but were they occupied at all? And were the servers up to date?

velvet quartz
#

the servers were up to date and occupied.

pearl oxide
#

Hmm. I'll look into it, but in the meantime, you can try these if you have the time, as they fix most problems: Reseting Game Settings (via launching the game through Steam), double checking your security settings to make sure nothing is being blocked, reinstalling the game, or performing a clean installation (uninstall and then delete the The Isle folder from your Steam folder

velvet quartz
#

okay thank you

pearl oxide
#

I haven't found anything yet, but if I do I will let you know. If any of those things happen to fix it, I'd be interested in knowing as well, for future use

#

lol all good

#

Gonna do a bit of clean up

Hum. I should probably bring up my problem again, since I never got a working solution

You're in the Isle discord server.

Sounds like you might've been banned from their server, your best bet would be contact one of their administrators.

I've tried hosting a game on the test level with experimental on (once on sandbox, once on survival) and it crashed my game both times

On the latest development branch

#

The loading screen still plays, but I believe that right when loading into the map the game crashes

lilac thistle
honest river
#

The same thing is happening with me ^^^^

dapper orchid
#

Same here.

#

Hang on while I grab a demonstration

late tulip
#

I was on dev branch earlier before I was kicked out due to an update to Dev Branch. Got busy with other things and now trying to get on. However neither of the servers show up for me now. Just says "No Servers Found". Are they down or am I having troubles? @lilac thistle I use Windows 10. I'm on 0.1.33.5527 - 2473226 (development) for the version as well. I've already restarted steam and my computer even to double check there wasn't another update but there is no update popping up for me.

lilac thistle
#

@late tulip Done the usual such as firewall exclusions and the likes?

late tulip
#

Honestly I don't think I have a firewall even set up. I'm not using an antivirus (I know, I'm terrible for it >.>) and I don't use windows defender. Never had a problem in the past so I've never even had to look into how to do that before.

#

I'm looking into how to do that though right now

#

Ok according to my thing. There are two 'the isle' listed and both of them are part of the excluded apps on the list

#

For both public and private so yeah. The Isle is excluded unless there's another program that needs added?

native grove
#

Windows firewall should be active by default

late tulip
#

Yeah. I googled it and looked

lilac thistle
#

@late tulip In that case try this. At the top left of Steam you should have a Steam button, click that and go to settings > in-game > at the bottom you'll see a dropdown box for something like... "In-game server browser" set that to 1000.

#

Then afterwards hit ok, launch up your game and set your max results on the actual isle server browser to 1000 and refresh.

dapper orchid
#

Punch, I've got the demonstration for what I believe is a bug with the dev branch. I'll be putting it in #401465476661641217 because I don't think it belongs here.

lilac thistle
#

Aye aye

late tulip
#

Ok I did that. It didn't work. Though I sorta would have been surprised if that had. cause Dev only ever has the 2 servers right now. Unless that was to force it to relook in a different way then refreshing does? I can find the other servers just fine if I uncheck hide outdated. Now I only have 'hide outdated' checked, and official unchecked. And only a server named in chinese is listed.

#

So yeah I dunno...

lilac thistle
#

Oh you're on dev branch?

late tulip
#

Yeah. I included the patch number and stuff on my original post for what version I'm on and everything.

#

I restarted steam and my computer in case my computer was some how outdated but no update posted at all

lilac thistle
#

Oh.. In that case that's probably why. There aren't often many dev branch servers.

#

Outside of like Dev 1/2

late tulip
#

Right. neither of the dev servers are showing. So then they're down I take it?

lilac thistle
#

I don't think so

late tulip
#

Ok. lol. well Dev 1 nor Dev 2 show up for me.

lilac thistle
#

Got nothing typed into the filters right?

late tulip
#

nope

#

I can play around with all the different options and all the other servers and such will pop up correctly according to what they're listed under. But when I have just 'hide outdated' selected. Only a chinese server pops up. Dev servers don't even pop up when just Official is selected

lilac thistle
#

I'll update my game to dev branch and take a look

late tulip
#

ok. Sorry for the trouble. I hope that doesn't take you to long to switch, I know it takes me forever.

lilac thistle
#

No worries

lilac thistle
#

@late tulip So turns out they are down, they crashed earlier.

late tulip
#

ah! ok. lol. well i'm glad I said something then

lilac thistle
#

I can't restart them as I only have access to the normal branch servers, but at least it's not an issue on your end.

late tulip
#

yeah. And this lets you all know that there's something that happened with them at least too. Thanks for checking into it for me.

lilac thistle
#

Feel free to PM or tag me anytime if you've got questions or need assistance with something. ๐Ÿ‘

late tulip
#

kk thanks a bunch ^^

Hosting a session crashes the game to desktop on Dev Branch

I've had a problem with The Isle lately, all my textures and graphics are not loading in right. Everything is green, and extremely bright, I just bought a PC and it happens on this, but my laptop doesn't do it. Anyone know why?

lilac thistle
#

@tardy bolt Last time I heard of this issue it's solved by right clicking The Isle in your Steam library and left clicking "Reset Game Settings"

#

Give that a try

tardy bolt
#

Ok thank you, ill give it a try

tardy bolt
#

@lilac thistle This did not fix the problem, it seems to happen only with lighted areas. For example the flashing lights on the loading screen have a weird texture glitch to.

lilac thistle
#

@tardy bolt Could you take a picture?

tardy bolt
#

@lilac thistle How do I post screenshot on here?

lilac thistle

Get the link of the screenshot and post it here, or upload it via the + button to the left of the chatbox @tardy bolt

You'll need to copy/paste them in quarters due to discords character limits.
