1.22.7: pausing could leave structures unfinished

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The same patch fixes world generation failing to finish certain structures while the server was paused. The publisher explicitly notes that single-player pressing Escape pauses the server. It is a version-scoped world-generation fix, rather than proof that every unusual structure in an old or modded world has this cause. [1]

Resolved

1.22.7: leaving a bed could put the player inside blocks

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The August 16 stable patch fixes the exit-position check used when getting out of bed. Previously, the check could miss possible spaces and leave the player stuck inside blocks. This is the documented bed-exit fix, without an invented world-reset procedure. [1]

Documented workaround

A non-starting Windows client after an update

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The troubleshooting page associates a double-click doing nothing with a potentially broken .NET installation. Its runtime requirements depend on the game version: .NET 7 for 1.19/1.20 and .NET 8 for 1.21. [2]

Limits & applicability

  • Use the runtime link for your version from the Vintage Story downloads page; this is a version-scoped diagnostic, not proof that every launch failure has the same cause. [2]
Documented workaround

A local multiplayer world stops when the host closes it

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

Open to LAN serves the currently open single-player world. The host must keep that world open; the separate dedicated server is the documented option for a persistent host without a logged-in player. [3]

Documented workaround

An update stops a modded world from starting

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The troubleshooting guide recommends a new test world and disabling non-vanilla mods in Mod Manager when a game stops working after an update. This isolates incompatible mods without claiming the old save is corrupt. [2]

Limits & applicability

  • Keep Creative Mode, Essentials and Survival Mode enabled; the guide identifies those vanilla mods as required. [2]
