This is a report on the latest advance testing branch on steam as of yesterday.
after setting dynamic shadows to off this error opens up
After hitting continue another one
hitting continue again brings this one up
Once again clicking continue pops up another error message Pressing continue on this will bring me back into game, but my character will be invisible.
Pressing "L" to reset the level then popped up this clicking continue brought this up

Here is a vine I recorded on what it looks like: https://vine.co/v/MjFj7iPZULe Sorry about how shaky it is, I'm a pretty shaky person.

These are my in-game settings :

I forgot to add my hardware report in the e-mail.

I would also like to suggest something, that doesn't have anything to do with the above. I think it would be nice to have the carve against terrain feature to work both ways. For things like caves where you don't want things to stick out in the ground and so everything is nice and flat. Also would be nice for this feature to save the carve, right now when saving a level after you carve something then join back in carving doesn't save.

I'm having the same issue as RylanLego, except with a purple haze.

Currently re-downloading Overgrowth to see if that changes anything.

Wow this release is completely broken. Tried it on 4 different computers, all crash out with various different codes. From SDL to GLSL errors.

Please report a detailed bug report at [email protected]. Since they have only one programer don't expect a fix right away.

You should also try steam advanced test version. Looks like there has been update and it fixed my problem.

[RylanLego]

No difference for me with steam..

The steam build works perfectly fine on my laptop, with LINUX and INTEL GRAPHICS. Use the advance_testing beta and all problems will (most likely) disappear.

The editor mode isn't working for me since a206, none of the buttons do anything and when I try to access the colour picker it says: "Error, File Not Found"

?

Thanks for an otherwise awesome update which has made the whole game run so much smoother

Am I somehow being stupid? I usually am

First, there is edit button __________________________________________________↑ up here
Please use it.
Also no one is stupid, it is just called lack of knowledge.
Now maybe you have caused this yourself by deleting some files? I suggest you redownload the game and see if the error still exist.

[JackEagles17]

First, there is edit button __________________________________________________↑ up here

You mean in the game or on the forum?

I haven't deleted any files, the editor mode is turning on but not working, i.e. The colour palette isn't coming up, none of the buttons for the editor are working.

Thanks for the "lack of knowledge" thing. I know I'm not stupid, just facetious

Hey everyone,
I have version 205 installed, and I used SUM Launcher to install the game in the first place (it wouldn't work with Chrome because the download was too big) when it was in 201 or so. I still have my Humble Bundle page saved, but I am wondering if it's possible to install the update manually without having to completely reinstall the game. I installed the update, but I have extracted it yet, and I don't know what to do from here. If it doesn't work with SUM Launcher, it's too big for Chrome, and I can't install it manually, then I'm not sure if I will be able to get the update at all.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Puddles

Uh, what?
What does "too big for Chrome" mean?

I'm also not really sure what to make out of your last few sentences. Are you saying you have actually downloaded it already and just haven't extracted it yet? I thought you couldn't download it because it was "too big for Chrome" (whatever that is supposed to mean).

Also, why should it not work through SUMLauncher now when you installed the game with it at a201 and updated it to a205?

I think the only ways to get an updated version without having to download the entire updated game again are through Steam or the SUMLauncher. But, again, your last few sentences sound like you have already downloaded the current version and just have to extract it.
I really don't know what you are having trouble with at this point.

[liverpudlian99]

When I say too big for Chrome, I mean that it takes too long to download. I guess this could also be caused by my bad internet, but the download did not finish through Chrome. I installed the full game through SUM Launcher to begin with, and I downloaded just the update through chrome which I haven't extracted or put in to the Overgrowtha201 folder (that's the name of my game folder).
In the initial post, Jeff said that the SUM Launcher might not work with a206. I might be doing something wrong, but for me the alpha update doesn't finish installing through SUM Launcher.

I probably phrased something wrong, but I want to be as clear as possible.
I do have Steam, but I'm not running Overgrowth through it because I pre-ordered before it was available on Steam.

The main point of my previous post was asking how to install the update manually, although looking back at it, I'm realizing I phrased everything very poorly. I wonder if it's possible to put the Overgrowth game folder in Steam/SteamApps/common and it recognizing the game, but updating it to the new version... I will try this.

Below are photos of what my SUM Launcher looks like upon start, what the update looks like, and what the installation/extraction looks like, respectively.
The last picture is the screen that doesn't go away. I have waited a bit for it to finish, but it never does, even though it says it's 100%.
