Heck No. It would get rid of all your chars and you'd have to start all over.

These instructions are no longer relevant; the format of the FH+ download is now an install program instead of a .zip file. I'll update this thread as soon as I have time, sorry for any inconvenience!!

@rockinval93 - No, don't delete your old version. Make sure you haven't replaced any of the original FH files with files from FH+. When you open up FH+, go to options, video, and switch the rendering subsystem. That should fix the black background deal. Once you get on a char and go ingame, if your screen is black except for your char and the chat/icons, press B and reset your home to Bonfire, then go home. If you have any more questions, feel free to PM me!

Glad I could help! When downloading games and stuff, you'll pretty much always want to click "save" rather than "run." Just for future reference. :3

If you have any questions feel free to PM me and I'll help you out. It's very simple; if you installed FH then installing FH+ should be easy. ^^

You can if you like, though they are two separate games so if you want to play both, you'll have to keep the original as well. :) The original FH will still receive updates and patches by Kovu. Whether Simba will update FH+ or not is unknown to me.

Question: FH+ is only for Windows/PC users, correct? Mac people have to stick to normal FH? I assume from it being an .exe file, but it hasn't been said. Me being a Mac user, I'd like to know myself. Thanks!

I made a mistake when installing, and only replaced the "FeralHeart" piece to "FeralHeartPlus", and left what was already there. How do I fix this? Do I have to uninstall/reinstall?

Fortunately for us Mac users a recent one has been made for us.

Also, is anybody else getting 'Failed to connect to map server'? :O

I tried to reset my home to bonfire island, but it wouldn't let me.

@Dawna- Aye, that can happen. Try restarting your computer. Sometimes FH glitches and won't let you reset your home correctly. Also make sure that you have a good, constant connection, otherwise that can make it glitch as well.

No need for multiple posts.

Uninstall FH+ from your computer and reinstall using a NEW download from the downloads page. Do NOT use an old one.

Uninstall FH+ and reinstall. This buggy game will tell you that you need a patch all the time until you reinstall it... My suggestion: play the normal FH.

Post by: Raphilion on July 25, 2012, 03:25:57 pm
Wolffie.. I keep getting people ask me in help chat about the black screen when entering game on FH+. I always told them to get FH and relocate a char to one of the mas that work for both games as it's the only way to play FH+.

I tried your advice given about setting home to Bonfire, it won't let you do type a map name -_-

So instead, I'm gonna test every map I think works for both games and make my own tutorial for newbies to follow rather than having to type the same instructions over and over...  :)

Edit:
I forgot about this post but I'm sure you've seen the post about downloading the Lonely Cave map. I direct everybody to that link instead if anybody asks about the black-background.

Guys, the reason why you don't see the download, Is because there is a new version being currently worked on.

First off, you cannot see anything on the main post that Wolffox hosted due to a forum glitch that still needs to be fixed, under all this forum maintenance.
The WEB and Torrent (recommended) of the Game can be found here. (https://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=23&Itemid=40)

Both tutorials on how to download and install the game can be found here:
Torrent Download (https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=56712.0) (recommended) Tutorial
WEB Download (https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=56747.0) Tutorial

Reminder: FH+ Is no longer downloadable/installable due to the many complications it had.

If you have any further questions on how to install the game, please ask and create a thread on the Game Help (https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?board=24.0) board.

Locking this to prevent further bumps as FeralHeart+ is no longer an available download and hasn't been for quite some time.
