Client Continue Crafting Button Fix Wurm Mod

Wurm Unlimited [Steam] is the standalone version of the MMO Wurm Online. It recently had a big update and we were sent keys to check it out.

Just to be clear, I really like my MMOs and try to play any I can get my hands on. This attempt at a review isn't from someone new to them, but someone who loves them.

First of all, I know graphics don't make a game, but in this case they really aren't very pleasing at all. I found practically all of the game to be bland and boring visually, just no life to the graphical style here.

Here's what it looks like on max settings:

Not pleasing on the eyes.

I've played a lot of games over the years with varying styles, but Wurm Unlimited seems to have no real style to it. The textures are bland, the lighting is terrible and I just couldn't find anything to redeem the look of it.

I was specifically told by the developer to pick a server with higher than normal gains for everything. As the normal amounts are a massive grind and this is part of the problem; there's quite a few servers, but not many players. The most I ever saw on one server was about 50 people at a time, for an online game that's a lot smaller than I would have hoped. On top of that, each one seems to have completely different combinations of mods, different maps, different skill gains and so on. Some servers refused the connection, some took forever, but some did eventually work. The login server just doesn't seem to like me much at all.

There's a lot to take in right away, but it does give you some starting help prompts. The problem is, they appear at random times and often vanish with the next one too quickly so I couldn't actually read what they said. That was really bad and didn't help me, nor did it impress me at all. I was often lost without a clue what I could do and I just spent my entire time in it frustrated to hell.

You're not allowed to run in the game, at all. Your speed is dependent on what you're carrying or if you're mounted on an animal or vehicle. This makes the start of the game for everyone painfully slow to get anywhere or do anything. You can't jump either, so everything involves moving slowing around even small objects I would expect to be able to simply just jump over.

Doing anything in the game is boring too, right click this, go through some options, now click that. For a fully 3D game I expect to do more than right click everything and read through different menus, it's just so incredibly tedious and boring. It's a bit silly too, when moving the mouse around to interact with various objects, you will often see a useless "Tile Border" which you can bring up a menu on, but it obviously does nothing. The default camera option is pants too, with you needing to hold down the left mouse button to look around. You can bind a button to unlock the free camera mode, but when in that mode you can't interact with anything — just terrible.

Issues
The game is junk with multiple monitors, forcing me into windowed mode. I set my resolution to 1920x1080 and I expected to get that resolution. The windowed fullscreen mode took over both monitors and spread it across them, while the normal fullscreen mode turns off my other monitor. I was forced to play it in windowed mode which wasn't pleasing.

Their fullscreen issues also seemed to mess with my Composition Pipeline setting from NVIDIA with it getting turned off, giving me screen-tearing.

Oh, it also didn't seem to save my resolution settings — annoying when booting it up a second time to see it in some really low resolution. I went to change it back and...the 1080p option has suddenly vanished.

If you run it in Windowed mode and select to have the screen resizable, the UI does not move with the Window, it stays at whatever position it was in originally, so it ends up like this:

Half the time I tried to join a server, it gave me an error of "you need to connect to the login server". I got really aggravated trying to make this review more in-depth, but after seeing that happen along with the fullscreen issues with multiple monitors, I gave up trying, it's just not worth the effort.

It really wasn't a good experience, at all. An incredibly unpolished experience riddled with issues that just shouldn't be there. Annoying fullscreen issues, bland graphics, gameplay that just isn't fun. Honestly, there was nothing I liked in Wurm Unlimited. It made me glad we have Albion Online (thoughts on Albion here) and to some extend Shroud of the Avatar (which seems promising), each of those give a much nicer experience overall.

It's essentially a spin-off of a dated game, with elements that just haven't aged well at all. I don't ever want to load it again. I'm sure there's people it's made for, but I sure as hell aren't one of them. It currently has around 500 people online according to Steam with an all time of peak of under two thousand, so yeah, it's a very acquired taste.

I sat on this for a while, desperately trying to find something about it I liked. Really tried to turn this around from a short article blasting it into an article showing something cool, but it just wasn't possible. A high learning curve, with a terrible introduction and it's too painfully slow to be enjoyable. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
