Bug Report, Hotfixes, Discord & Password Sharing

Hi all,

I hope you are all enjoying the alpha update! I wanted to go over a few things very quickly in regards to bugs and bug reporting.

Bug Reports

All bugs must be reported through Wayfarer’s Patreon Discord server. The appropriate channels are located in the Bug Report category.

There are two channels:

• #gameplay-errors is for high and medium priority bugs related to coding issues, approval and continuity errors, etc.
• #typo-reports is for low priority spelling and grammar mistakes

All reports must be made with a screenshot that includes the error and the passage title (located in the top bar). It will look something like this:

I cannot accept bug reports through any other means. At the moment there is no way for you to file bug reports if you do not have a Discord account. 

Please do not DM me bug reports through my Patreon messages. This makes it very difficult to log and file them properly. 

Hotfixes

The Wayfarer alpha build is an alpha build. This means that there will be bugs, and sometimes they will be game-breaking. I will do my best to fix them as quickly as possible, but I am only one person and some bugs are too complicated to fix in a day. If you encounter a bug that prevents you from proceeding, load an earlier save and try different dialogue options for the time being.

If you keep the game running in a tab, ALWAYS refresh your tab or close the game and re-open it in a new one when a hotfix is released. This will ensure the game updates and you are playing on the newest patch.

To avoid playing on the wrong version, I highly recommend closing your tab or browser when you’re done your playthrough session. This will help prevent update errors.

Connecting Your Discord and Patreon Accounts

To access Wayfarer’s Patreon Discord server, your Discord and Patreon accounts must be connected. You can do so through your Settings:

Settings > More (dropdown menu on the far right) >  Connected apps

Select Discord. Once selected, you should reach a page that looks like this and you will be able to connect your Discord account.

If you are already connected to access Discord benefits for a different Creator's Patreon, you may need to Disconnect and reconnect your account. 

Once connected, the Patreon bot will automatically add you to the server and assign you roles depending on what tier level you pledged at. As Discord benefits are for active patrons only, the Patreon bot will remove your roles when your sub runs out and you will lose access to the server’s channels.

As a last resort, I can manually add you to the server through invite links. However, I would prefer not to do this if at all possible. If you are having issues connecting your account, please troubleshoot as much as possible on your own before requesting an invite link.

Alpha Build Password

The alpha build’s password will be updated frequently to ensure the build stays private and reduce the potential for password sharing. If you cannot access the build, always check the pinned post at the top of my Patreon for the current password.

The pinned post will always include patch notes for the most recent patch or hotfix. This will inform you about whether you need to restart saves from a certain point.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to let me know!
