Welcome beta testers! Let’s get you up and running. Please remember that we’re a small indie team, and this is an early build of the game, with plenty of bugs and missing features. We’ll be providing updates constantly, so make sure to check for updates frequently!

We cannot stress this enough: THIS IS A BETA. The game is still in development and will get better.

We highly recommend joining the Discord channel to ask questions and add your feedback!

Playing on Steam

  1. Download Steam

  2. Launch the Steam client software and log into or create your Steam account.

  3. Click the Games menu option at the top of the Steam client.

  4. Choose Activate a Product on Steam...

  5. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the process. Use the key code we’re sending to you.

That should get you into the game! Keep in mind it must be launched from Steam.

Also note, when you launch the app, you may see this message: “Steam login failed. Please ensure Steam is running and try again.”. Make sure Steam is open, and try hitting ‘Try Again’ a few times.

That should get you into the game! Now for bugs / other items:

Windows

MacOS

  • MacOS users may see a popup with “DungeonBox wants to use your confidential information stored in “com.FoxtailGames.DungeonBox” in your keychain. You can allow this popup or deny it, it just saves the game’s login info in your keychain if you want it to.

Mac users should also download an Enhanced voice to use with the game. There’s an option inside the General settings in-game, that will walk you through this.


One Mac user reported a crash almost immediately after launch, no error message or output. Adjusting the Steam launch options fixed it:

-screen-fullscreen 0 -screen-width 1280 -screen-height 720

STEAM DECK USERS

The Game Crashes right now unless you force run it with "Proton Experimental" on Steam Deck

KNOWN BUGS

We’re working on fixing all of these and will provide updates ASAP!

  • Stuck on “Loading”? Try going into Settings -> A.I. -> And selecting ‘Pro DM’. Some of the local models are still having issues

  • “Invalid / Unauthorized User” messages mean your email isn’t in our system. Please make sure you’re signing up and logging in with the email your backed the Kickstarter reward with, or filled out in the Pledge Manager

  • For Itch users, the Pro Credits label will always display either 0, or that you’re not logged in if you’re running the old version 0.3. Update to version 0.4 to fix this!
