Game Version didn't change on steam

[mint orchid]

Hello, in order to access the early access version, you need to redeem your code from https://coral-island.backerkit.com/ and check the digital downloads section for your new key!

[narrow olive]

what? i don't understand, my friend who bought it on steam got the Early Access version, but i'm not? even i just updated to the latest hotfix, the game version is still the same, not change

[sour garden]

Sorry I needed to scroll down further

Let me check with the team

[narrow olive]

here is the latest hotfix version right?

look at my game version, why is it different?

i just bought the game today on steam

[tacit pumice]

Hi do you mind sharing your steam window with Coral Island selected from your library?

[narrow olive]

here

[tacit pumice]

And when you load the game, it pushes you to v0.9?

[narrow olive]

yea

i confused

[tacit pumice]

Okay give us a sec, lemme forward this to the team.

[narrow olive]

okay

[tacit pumice]

Thank you for this information! The game just had a recent hotfix, and this may be part of the problem. Stay tuned for a new update coming soon!

[narrow olive]

okaay, and what should if it still not change?

[tacit pumice]

For now you can play, but the save file will likely not be compatible with the new update, since A0.9 is fundamentally different from EAv0.1

The team will definitely have a new version out soon 🤞

[narrow olive]

that's the problem, the game is crashing after i finished customization, that's why i want to update it to the recent version of the game xD

[ancient ridge]

Is this steam?

[narrow olive]

yup

[ancient ridge]

Do you have game pass?

[narrow olive]

yea i have, i played it on gamepass before, and then i bought it on steam, uninstalled gamepass version, downloaded steam version, and the game version is still like that on steam

[ancient ridge]

Can you try to play from steam? And on the notice notes (after humble games logo) what's written on the upper note? Early access/alpha/game preview?

[narrow olive]

wait

it's game preview

[ancient ridge]

Did you play from Steam? I mean press play from Steam?

[narrow olive]

yup, cause the gamepass version is deleted

i mean, i already deleted the gamepass version

[ancient ridge]

Can you check on your microsoft store if its still existed there?

[narrow olive]

nope, it says "Install", and also on xbox app too it's empty

i already re install the game from steam but the version is still the same, i don't understand why

[ancient ridge]

Can you try verify game integrity?

On steam?

[narrow olive]

i already doing it but still, but i will do it again right now, just in case

[ancient ridge]

Right click on coral island, local files, verify integrity of game files

If this doesnt work, can you restart your PC?

[narrow olive]

ok, it still verifying

it finished and didn't do anything, no update, wait i try to restart my pc

[ancient ridge]

Okay please let us know

[fair fern]

really sure that's from the new hotfix cuz everyone is experiencing crashes I didn't check my game version but it might be 0.9 for me too

[ancient ridge]

Can you screen shot us your title screen?

[narrow olive]

No, my game version is Alpha 0.9 from the beginning, and then i update it, it didn't change, lmao

[ancient ridge]

Okay I'm out of suggestions

[narrow olive]

i've restarted my pc, and what should i do now? start the game or verify again?

[ancient ridge]

please try verifying again and start the game

[narrow olive]

okayy

[ancient ridge]

if the result is still the same

well i have informed the dev team but they are mostly asleep at this moment

[river plover]

When updating and verifying the game, the game does not allow access to the game. I get a crash message 😦

[narrow olive]

what if i refund it and buy it again? will it fix my problem? lmao

[ancient ridge]

I think not

[river plover]

And I have the same version of the patch

[ancient ridge]

i think its because of the game pass

[narrow olive]

can u screenshot ur menu title. wich version is your game

[ancient ridge]

do you happen to have gamepass too?

[narrow olive]

yea maybe this is the problem

[river plover]

Steam

[narrow olive]

cause my friend who bought it on steam, he didn't play it on gamepass before, and he got the Early Access 0.1

[river plover]

I bought it yesterday

[ancient ridge]

Oh this is the latest update

You are on the right track

[narrow olive]

yea you're on the right track, just wait for the new update

i'm on the wrong track here, my game is still Alpha, lmao

[river plover]

Well, the game is broken, because when I try to start it, it crashes 😦

[ancient ridge]

We will look into it 🥲

[river plover]

Many people have the same problem

[swift fiber]

Try to delete your save file manually

[narrow olive]

i already did that, but it still the same, Alpha 0.9 version

[unreal trellis]

Did you do a completely clean reinstall? Uninstall, delete the whole folder from Steam and any data files that may be left behind, then install it fresh?

[swift fiber]

Lol this is the weirdest bug i've ever seen

[ancient ridge]

Noted

[unreal trellis]

Yeah there's gotta be some file making it think it's the wrong version, hopefully it's not like that because of the new hotfix

[swift fiber]

And for mods, please pay attention to character customization bug!

[tacit pumice]

There might be some leftover data from GamePass that's making the Steam game think it's still there

[river plover]

Will we lose what we saved if we uninstall?

[unreal trellis]

I believe so, you could attempt to make a backup of the save folder, but it might not be compatible after you reinstall. Potentially worth a shot

[sweet oxide]

Did you go into your library after geting the EA key and install the early access game and not just uninstall and reinstall the alpha update because I did that when I was tired the other day and was like "Wheres the early access game?"

[narrow olive]

this, maybe this will work, i will try it now, cause i recently backup the game, uninstalled it, delete the installation folder and save folder, and restored it, cause i thought after i restored the game (wich is the alpha version) and update it, the game will updated itself, lmao

[narrow olive]

i didnt have the EA key, i didn't join kickstarter, just bought the game today on steam

[tacit pumice]

Might have to delete the whole savelist and files too

[river plover]

I will wait a little longer before uninstalling it, as most Steam players have the same problem and don't want to lose progress 😦

[sweet oxide]

Ah okay then I have no idea how to help, sorry hun.

[unreal trellis]

Please let us know if this works 🙏

[narrow olive]

yea, i deleted the Projectcoral folder on appdata/localrow

[narrow olive]

okay will update the situation in a few hours, cause my download speed is sucks, lmao

[tacit pumice]

I add my prayers for you as well

[unreal trellis]

Best of luck 🥹

[narrow olive]

i uninstalled it but the game files is still there? lmao

downloading it now

[tacit pumice]

Did you delete that folder?

[narrow olive]

yea i deleted it now, i didnt know the folder is still exist before

hopefully now it will works

🙏

[ancient ridge]

please let us know!

[narrow olive]

[narrow olive]
