Waking up, turning around and there being a tribal directly in front of you is **** scary!

Yep, that's happened to me, was pretty freaky!

Probably the worst is when lots of them start surrounding your camp and jumping up the trees, the way the devs have got them to behave is great in my opinion - really makes it scarier and freaks you out

I will definitely be getting this down the line,not yet though.

Any news on a save game fix guys?

You can save now in the hunting shelter!

Nice, thanks for the info.

When you load a save everything has respawned, food in the plane etc etc.. even trees inside the plane etc.. so I guess they are randomly generated.
That's pretty handy as I built my house next to the plane and the whole area was cleared before saving.

Any way to secure the "Wall with Door" yet? as there appears to be no door

Save seems to work fine for me, thankfully don't have to go through the intro again every time I play it.

I can some serious, serious potential with this game. Hopefully the devs really go at it and polish it, could be amazing.

Steam patch notes

Hey Everyone, Here’s our first small update to ‘The Forest’. While we were working on the saving issues we also had a chance to fix a few other things. Here is the changelog for the “hotfix”:

Saving at small shelter now works
Fixed issue where camera would spin during plane crash if a controller was plugged in
Fixed enemies sometimes disappearing after a few days
Improved tree collision
Fixed log cabin floating
Fixed some leaves not connected to trunk
Improved stuttering/performance
Removed lights from blue cave creatures
Fixed trees vanishing when exiting caves
Fixed bug where cave sounds could be heard above ground
Spelling mistake on shelter ‘warmth’ in book
Improved collision in some cave areas
Fixed missing cliff detail texture
Ocean shouldn’t loose render texture on start
Water visuals improved
Fixed enemy head duplicating when picked up
Fixed glitch where you could make infinite flare guns
Fixed enemy head icon not centered, and showing an arm instead of a head
Heads/arms and legs now go to inventory instead of being directly equipped
Bird on hand does not appear as often

Wonder when they will fix missing head shadow

Scratch that, got half way through building a cabin 50 logs or so and saved. Popped out to the gym, came back to have a go and now the half completed cabin is gone

Going to uninstall and come back to it in a few months.

yeah, you need to finish whatever it is you were working on before saving. I just built a few spiked walls with a doorway and shelter inside.

I have also noticed the Log storage and rabbit cage will not be saved ( not that I could work out how to put rabbits in it)

Have they released a Road Map for this?

RimBlock · 5 Jun 2014 at 15:21

Bought, downloaded and played last night.

Lots of bugs but still fun on first play.

Built a shelter, started building a cabin (logs appeared in the air), lept multiple times, crash to desktop.

Loaded save today -> start from the beginning.

Built a cabin, no choice to save, rest or store stuff.

With the save not working or the CTD killing any saves it is not really worth playing for me. Prefer not to throw away all my work every time it crashes or I close and restart the game.

Will probably come back later. Lots of potential.

This game is epic! Only problem is... I keep running into the 'enemy' camps. Very annoying! Seems like when they chase you to the various islands they re-build and become even more infinite !

You can save now, but its still very buggy and you lose items when you do so.. But hey, its alpha.. it comes with the territory. Still having fun with it, and your main structures seem to save well enough.

I don't think you can save in the cabin, only the smaller shelters so build one of them on the first day then start on your cabin.

Ezah · 6 Jun 2014 at 17:05

Any point in the effort to build a cabin? Is it actually secure or has no door?

I build a shelter to save in then build spiked walls around it and save after every few walls, I don't think I could survive long enough to build an 80 log cabin

I've found the head/legs totem pole works well enough to keep them away... not seen any for a while now and I have 2x log fires, cutting down trees etc.

Everytime I explore on the island I end up with creepy music and surprises that make me wonder where this game is going to go !
