I didn't know about it and lost my best char, while trying to build a wall. :(
Thanks for reminding me, that's something that was in Legacy too so I didn't think to mention it explicitly.

Sorry for your loss mate, added into the first steps section.

Spawned in lake

Post by NarratorGuy »

I just opened the game and I instantly spawned in a lake. What do I do?

More information, please. Were you in a boat before you logged out or the server or client crashed? Is this a new character and you were actually spawned in the water (just asking to be sure as you shouldn't just spawn in water)?

I'm going to bet this is the "spawned on a mac" problem. Mac computers have poor support without workarounds, so you spawn as the purple ball and can't do anything.

Yes, I have a mac and that is how I first loaded the game, but now I'm using a PC and I can't get it to spawn my character or finish building the world

Maybe update java? Sorry mate I'm not much of a technical type when it comes to this stuff :/

You could try searching through the bugs forums, but I don't think we have a dedicated tech support spot yet.

Can't suggest much if we don't know the details. Please follow up with a new thread in Bugs if you want more information. At a minimum, we need any crash logs, and knowing what kind of hardware and operating system (version number) may help.
