for some reason when i enter the game it is very dark and i can't see anything i have reinstalled but still happend
edit:seems someone else had it and have been told a fix
im using windows 8 and have the same issue but i cant cycle trough the quick switcher either. all i can make is swords. and i think the mining is ready to be implemented since i cant play the normal game cause of the switcher i was messing with that for an hour or so and everything ran perfect. drops need to be increased for the lower level ores though. keep the high lvl ores rare.
Hi Th2c! I usually just use the regular handles since the fancy ones don't really increase your profit by much. But I tested out making both copper and iron great hammers with fancy two hand grips and everything worked just fine for me. Which version are you currently playing (the latest update is 0.0.72) and are you making the hammer heads with 2 or 3 ingots? Thanks!
(edited for grammar....twice, sadly)
i have a very similar problem. im running the same version, and i don't think its based on specs, as my specs are pretty different from yours.
WIN 10
intel core I5 2500k
nvidia GTX 1050ti
8 GB RAM
Hey Wolfe I would suggest checking out the forum post about common issues on the games main forums page for this game. For the blur darkness bug just pull up the menu > graphics > click reset at the bottom > then change your gamma to like 4%. Works everytime for me.
If you read My post you'd know that I have tried Many times to turn up my gamma and when ever I click the bar to increase gamma, the game goes down to my taskbar and pops me back onto my desktop I have tried it with the itch.io app and get same issues nor can I reset my settings because the same thing happens
In version 0.0.72, the pricing has all been changed. The youtubers are playing an older version.
you have to go into your graphics settings and raise the resolution and the brightness
the darkness problem can be solved by going into settings, and upping your brightness (it might be called gamma, not sure)
i have a similar problem with the mouse pointer randomly appearing though, and its annoying, because you have to hit esc and then resume to get the cursor to go away (or at least i have to do that)
i don't have the problem with random minimizing though. are you sure you dont have another program that is not recognizing it as a game, and innterupting it, and causing it to minimize the game?
i used to have disable programs such as razer synapse, because the notification for updates would minimize whatever i was doing. when that happens, try to look in your hidden icons and see if something new is opened. if nothing like that happens, then its possible it is just the game being stupid. other than that i would not know how to help without having access to your computer, because i do not know what kind of programs you have.
Others are having the same problem, it has to do with how the weapons snap together using the orientation of the part that you're currently holding with the right mouse button. Read THIS POST, it might help you avoid this problem until the dev can come up with a patch to resolve the glitch. Happy Smithing!
Yes, you are correct. If you scan through some of the other players' posts in this thread you'll see that you're not alone in experiencing this bug. The dev's working on it. If you look under the Updates list on the Trello page HERE you'll see that in the (unreleased) Patch 0.0.73 he's got it fixed. We'll just have to wait until the other issues addressed in that patch are also ready. Thanks!
when I click reset nothing happens it just minimizes the game and when I open it again and go to adjust the gamma slider there's like an invisible barrier keeping from moving my mouse there but once I click on something like the tab for full screen and then click off of it I can move my mouse anywhere but if I try again to click the gamma it just minimizes the game and I have tried the resolution but it's so dark that even if made a difference I couldnt tel
Unfortunately I haven't seen anyone else reporting the game minimizing when clicking on the gamma slider, so I can't recommend a workaround for that at this time (if something you try does end up working, please post it so if anyone else has the same problem they'll know how to handle it).
The only recommendation I can offer at this time would be to delete your settings file which can be found here:
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\ShopSim\Saved\SaveGames
I hope this helps!
I'm afraid you've exhausted my (sadly) very limited list of possible solutions. Perhaps when the game is patched, you could try again. In the meantime, maybe check out the community boards Here in case someone else has posted a solution that I have missed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Which version are you running? The wrong material type glitch was patched in version 0.0.72. As for the heated blades/hammer heads, that fix is coming in the next patch. For the weapons falling apart upon load, the dev's working on a solution, but it will involve changing the way weapon assemblies are handled, so we'll just have to be patient with that quirk in the meantime. Happy Smithing!
Hi Quartermaster!
Thanks for all the great input! Here's a little info on some of the bugs you've found:
Again, thanks for the response! I hope you're enjoying this game as much as I am! Happy Smithing!
I tried looking for it all in that order but I can't find that file. Once I open the game the only way I can leave is through Task Manager and I saved the game before I do that, would that cancel the save? I forgot to mention earlier I have not saved this game before because it started during my first gameplay and I didn't know what to do. And the graphics button down won't work I can only go as low as controls and when I go into it and I can't go back so I have to quit the game
Another method of finding the ShopSim folder is going to the Windows Start Menu and typing %appdata% (with the percent signs). For me this pops open the Folder C:\Users\(MyUserName)\AppData\Roaming. Of course I want to look in Local, not Roaming, so I have to go up one level to just AppData, then go into Local, then ShopSim.
I assumed this folder was created upon startup, but you're not the first one unable to find it, so it may only be created upon saving the game.
Also, I'm using Windows 10. I believe the AppData folders are handled the same way in Windows 7 and 8, but I can't tell you that for certain. Hope this helps!
Thank you for the help and I found the saved game. I deleted it but I now have another problem. When I start the game it loads up fine until I spawn in the room, it start out blurry but when I try going to the graphics to reset it the whole game freezes so I have to exit out through alt f4. I'm sorry for bugging you but I really like this game.
Edit: "I found the fix, delete the setting.save file in the Shop Sim file and it worked :D
Each weapon is sold at a 10% markup + charisma + rush. This means each copper ingot used to make a weapon that is sold nets you $1 profit, so the early game goes really slowly. Ignoring the cost of everything else, you would need to sell 500 copper ingots worth of stuff to get a single tin bar. The other stuff is where you make most of your money early game.
Once you get to tin, things pick up a bit. Each ingot is now giving you a $50 profit, so only 20 ingots to get to iron. Once you get there, it's only 50 Iron to adelite, 20 adelite to mythril, 50 mythril to adamantine and 20 adamantine to titanium. Of course, by the time you've got to the higher tiers, your customers will be really impatient making it hard to meet their demands.
O.k. so you are saying it will take a while to get to the higher tier ingots, but it's worth it. O.k. I get that I will keep trying, and about my charisma it's at 6, which I used the redistribute point option to change some things around, and put everything into charisma. Logged off, and when I got back in, it reset the points back to what it was before with the redistribution used. Have you seen that issue as well?
#1: The AI don't seem to notice weapons that you haven't given to them, and in order for the AI to notice them, it has to be outside of, and then enter their 'detection radius'. (So take the weapon off the table, turn around with it and give it back to them)
#2: Sometimes an AI will get stuck, preventing further AI spawns. Usually closing your shop (clicking on the door sign) will reset their pathfinding and let them leave, but if that fails you can walk up to them and push them around.
Keep an eye out for the next patch. Dasius has been working on the heated weapon issue (as well as several other bugs). Here's a link to the checklist he's been working on for Version 0.0.73: https://trello.com/c/MPi62D06/114-patch-0-0-73. Happy Smithing!
Hello,
I have version 0.0.72 and I found a bug how to make extra money for free, by accident. When you place some polearm grip into doors, or somwhere into a place where customer is taking his stuff with him, somethime happens that blade from sword will also jump into that polearm grip. This means customer will pay you, but the blade will remain with you(on polearm grip, so you may need to reset the game), then you can sell it again without buying a new material and make more than 110% revenue instead of 10%.
Take the pole arm with the blade to the anvil and hit the anvil with your hammer. Separates the parts, so you can sell the blade again! (without restarting the game)
Also, all weapon heads can be attached to pole arm grips ;)
I wouldn't have thought of stealing back the weapon heads after the customer has bought it, I thought you needed the workbench to change parts like that.
managed to fix this:
C:\Users\[your user acc]\AppData\Local\ShopSim\Saved\SaveGames
and deleting everything in that folder
Hi James! Quick note about #2: The disappearing ingot issue seems to be the result of an ingot snapping into the same location as an ingot that is already on the anvil. After an ingot disappears, if you grab the ingot on the anvil with RMB and move it around, you can usually wiggle it loose and put it in an open spot. Happy Smithing!
#5: To break things apart on the anvil, you need to hit the anvil, not the thing you want to break apart. It took me a while to notice this, and it worked every time since.
If you have a part (usually grip or guard) that refuses to connect to anything, take it to the anvil and separate it from whatever it thinks it's attached to. This, as well as your #4 issue usually happen shortly after the #1 issue.
@ToxicXender I would love to help you with your problem if I could.
There's a thread on the Unreal Engine forum, UE4 AnswerHub, HERE where several people discuss the issue you're having and it's clear that you need access to the development build of Unreal Engine to implement the solution they recommend. But you don't need the development build to run this game (I certainly don't have the development build). It should all be packaged by Dasius as a standalone executable.
The only solutions I can recommend at this time would be to try following one of these video tutorials for reinstalling the game:
Or try installing the game through the itch.io app: https://itch.io/app, since I'm told that it will help install any missing files/tools that the game requires (I don't know this for certain since I've not had trouble installing using the normal download/unzip method).
Also, check that your antivirus isn't interfering with the download & installation (that has happened to several players as well). As far as I've seen, you're the first player to report the "You do not have any debugging symbols required to display the callstack for this crash" error, so if one of these methods helps resolve your problem, let me know.
I'm sorry I can't be more help than this. Good luck!
Ok Thank You For The Help. I understand that You Cant help me right now and i will try doing it through the app.
i was Told By the creator HimSelf To download i through the Browser becasue i was having trouble with it in the app.
But i can all way's try it again oh and Unreal Engine Does Not Work For Me Since im Using a 32-Bit OS
Yeah, sorry. I believe Dasius has mentioned that the 32 bit version of MLBS isn't as stable/reliable as the 64 bit. There's another patch coming out in the next week or two, but I'm not sure if it will resolve your problem or not. But again, if you do come up with a workaround or solution (even if it's something drastic like reinstalling windows), let us know on the boards here in case someone else has the same problems. Thanks, and good luck!
Unfortunately, reinstalling the game won't fix the problem since it doesn't delete your savegame or your current settings. They are stored elsewhere on your computer. Try deleting the Settings.sav file located here: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\ShopSim\Saved\SaveGames
If you're having trouble finding it, reading this post (and its replies) should help: https://itch.io/post/128793/view-in-topic
Hope this helps!
i thought i'd add to this issue which i have as well i selected to play in full screen mode and it does the same thing... looks like changing graphics in any way messes up the game? also attempting to play in full screen it loads in windowed then shifts to full screen... it breaks at the shift to the super dark and red and red buttons that not all work badness
Same as ayrios said above

I believe music settings are coming in the next patch. Currently, you can only adjust your volume using the Windows Volume Mixer. Thanks and Happy Smithing!

Another player reported having the same problem. Apologies, but I am aware of no recommended solutions at this time. The dev responded to the previous post asking about any other conflicting peripherals. You can read that post and its replies HERE. Thanks!

you will love 0.0.73 :)
1) was fixed, definitely!
2) is new to me, I never tried to reset more than once :D
3) yeah dasius said that this is a veeeery minor change
4) this was fixed in #73
5) yeah this has been fixed somewhat around #72 - my way of fixing it once for all was:
* enter game, fix graphics settings
* ender sandbox, fix graphics settings
* enter shop mode, fix graphics settings
Since then everything was settled :)
Correct, when an item gets stuck in the workbench, follow these steps to unstick it:
Happy Smithing!
Hello BlackOreoCookie!
The AI is a little bugged in the current version. Sometimes dropping the item and picking it back up will get them to take it from you. Also, after leaving the shop, sometimes they'll run around in circles forever. When they do this, no new customers will show up (only one customer at a time currently). You can usually unstick the broken customers by pushing them around. With the timers, they get shorter every game day. So you start with over 150 seconds on day one, but after about 15 days you'll only get about 30-45 seconds. Lastly, Dasius has said that the blueprint is currently incorrectly representing the ingot total for making items so in the meantime here are the recipes:
Happy Smithing!
about the no-customers: does your shop door say "shop open" ? if not, click that sign!
then you will love the hotfix released an hour ago, it aims to fix the customers avoiding our shops :O
apart from that, if you played the version that never saved weapons anyway, you will not be able to play properly with this save game, the logic has been changed to account for 1) the heat state of weapons and weapon parts and 2) weapons staying together on loading - so there have been some big changes that would not have worked as import from old save files - soooryyyyyyyy
But the new version features a ton of bug fixes, please grab the latest version, 713, just released :)
hang on YOU have to try that, I do not have your initial issue :/
edit: I just noticed that for me the game defaults to a strange resolution that is not actually the case, so when I do reset or apply without changing that, it jumps to get BIGGER than before, so then I could not fix it IF I had a smaller screen ^^
Sooo double checking the resolution and force setting fullscreen -> window -> fullscreen might refresh the GUI to fix it for you
Im playing on a 50" 4k tv and my computer can handle it no problem. so size of screen is not the issue. its when in fullscreen it will click through the window on whatever is behind it out of the game. after switching to full screen and waiting for it to revert it goes back to windowed mode taking up the full screen. its playable but when i mouse down my task bar will pop up and mouse wont stay in the window. im testing on my old laptop right now to see if the issue is with the update and not just higher end monitors or machines.
Edit; works fine with my laptop. maybe its in issue with large scale or anything connected with hdmi
Edit2; [FIXED] turned down to 1080 and it stopped clicking throught the window. now im having horrible screen tearing. 60hz refresh rate on tv is my fault though. need to get a new monitor for desk.
yeah my maximum is 1080 so I could not even test larger screen resolutions xD HDMI should not be an issue because I am using HDMI and 1080p :)
soooo might be this game is not 4k ready xD
again i made another mistake. Well not mistake actually. Its OS X computers. Which has the apple so yeah. Keep it up!
Yeah the sandbox is a bit buggy, but like dozens of bugs in the shop mode have been fixed :D
Be sure to download the latest version: 0.0.731, it has the fix for heated weapons on reload. You will probably have to start a new game, though. There are compatibility problems with previous version game saves. Happy Smithing!
Hey bobble, I've had a similar issue. One thing I suggest you do, is save every time you can afford a new ingot. (for example, if you are buying 9 iron at a time, and you can finally move up to adelite, save on every adelite ingot you can afford. That way, the worst case scenario, is you restart and lose maybe half a day in game time.
Hey Kijackthesmith,
Glad you are enjoying the game.
Thanx for posting your bug report. These are known issues and a fix is being worked on.
Also, continue following and doing what you love. It'll be hard but the reward is worth it.
Hey Kragor,
Thanx for letting me know. The issue should have been fixed but i'll look into why it's still happening.
I have figured out the problem. I didn't realize that changing head type is done via the anvil itself and not the ingots. When it's set to blunt heads is when I get this issue because, obviously, 1 ingot cannot produce a blunt head.
https://itch.io/t/61217/how-to-common-issues-pleas...
Try removing your settings:
Wow! That's real dedication there, and yes, Dasius is aware of this issue. Currently your money is stored as a signed integer, so the maximum value is 2,147,483,647. The overflow into negative was found by one of the testers. The proposed solution is to change to an unsigned integer to increase the max to 4,294,967,295 and add a cap (probably at 4 trillion) to prevent this issue. The only downside is that once you hit that cap, your sales won't mean anything other than recouping the cost of materials you just bought. Anyways, rest easy, the fix is in the works. In the meantime, Happy Smithing!
This is due to the Resolution Scale setting under Graphics being turned down (which can happen on reload). Drag the slider to the right to correct the blurry vision. Happy Smithing!
Also, you can try deleting your settings file to reset everything to default. It can be found on your PC here: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\ShopSim\Saved\SaveGames
If you're having trouble finding it, reading this post (and its replies) should help: https://itch.io/post/128793/view-in-topic
Also, you can't equip a tool of the same type you currently have equipped. You can't equip a hammer while wielding a hammer, or an axe while wielding an axe. The default tool counts as a hammer, so you have to pick up an axe first.
Sounds like youve selected Blunt weapon head. Which is 2 or 3 ingots. No, 1 ingot option for blunts...
The radial menu detects how many ingots are on the anvil to determine which options are available. For instance, hammers do not have a one ingot hammer head, and as such will not be selectable with only one ingot on the anvil.
Hey DJSwagger_Youtube,
Any missing dll is not a result of the game but with windows. Try this link and see if this help https://www.microsoft.com/en-u... . If not, I would suggest contacting Microsoft support.
Oh almost forgot rotation doesn't work correctly in game. I tried to rotate grips to fit onto my bench but I couldn't get it to rotate.
Hopefully you can use these workarounds in the meantime.
Sorry I am talking about if I have a polearm on the LH shelf next to the counter and the customer wants a one-handed hammer. I would hand them the one-handed hammer but they would take the polearm off the shelf leaving the one-handed hammer on the counter.
I'm also experiencing this and it's driving me insane. Oh, you wanted a greatsword? Here's an Adamantine greatsword I just made yo- aand you've decided to take a Mithril spear off the shelf, and pay me for a Mithril greatsword. I just wasted money.
Edit:
SOMEONE JUST CAME IN ASKING FOR A POLEARM
I HAD A MITHRIL POLEARM SITTING ON THE DESK
SHE TOOK A TITANIUM SWORD OFF THE SHELF AND PAID ME $17
Just to clarify what's happening. You're showing the customer the weapons they want (1H-Hammer). They then look at the closest weapon to them (Polearm), and take that instead.
To avoid this, make sure there are no other weapons closer to them than the one you're handing them. Even better, as customer won't yet pick weapons off of selves when they arrive (Bug 2), you can keep your weapons further back in the store until needed.
I found a kind of cheat way of making money by putting out a ton of daggers out on the counter then I just wave the item they want in front of them pull it back they take the dagger I get money equivalent to the item they wanted. Of course having the dagger in the most expensive materal and handle jacks up the price.
This is related to an ongoing bug, where a blade already part of a weapon reattaches to another grip/guard. The resulting sword has no value associated with the blade, whereas the remaining grip which had its blade removed retains the value of the blade. (Non-sword weapons also have this bug)
If you're clever, this bug is quite exploitable. Performing the bug again (attaching the valueless blade to a new grip) will give the blade's value to the previously connected grip.
Hey Chugo,
It's been too long since i've written anything french so I will try to answer respond the best I can.
Francais: Pour cette version, tu dois seulement avoir une arme sur le contoir ou les client vont prendre le premier arme qu'il voit. Je travail sure une solution.
English: You can't have more than one weapon on the counter or the customers will take whatever they see first. I'm working on a solution.
Thanx Chugo for the bug report.
In version 0.0.8, we might not see shields implemented. The weapon system still needs perfecting and implementing shields will make things more complicated but i'll come back to reports like yours when I am ready to complete implementation of shields.
Issues with axes should be cleared for version 0.0.8.
I will be productive this night (22:37)

Hey ValiantOrb,
I'm not quite sure why you are having issues with UE4 specifically. I'm assuming it works fine with other games outside of UE4?
It could be a internal issue with UE4
Have your tried changing the game between Fullscreen and windowed mode?
Also, is it possible you have a 3rd party software that may interfere with UE4, like an antivirus software?
