You have to start the game in administrator mod ( right click on the icone of the game ) if it doesn't work do the same things again and if you want to play with friends don't forget to open Steam
To anyone who want's to play this game co-op together with me for free, here's my steam friend code 259433085, username is Zenix, also join my steam group https://s.team/chat/TyVm3XP1 and i give you multiplayer fix and game links and guide you so np, we can play this game and other coop/multplayer games for free, anytime ;)
If you triggered the "Anonymous" error (clicking on Join game without steam open), you must find your savefiles and delete the multiplayer ones. Your are given with a long number which is a user id(?) that you usually used to see in-game on the load game screen. Now, you just google "where is the forest save data" and there's an article in The Forest wiki about it so finding your data will be easy as you follow the instructions. Into The Forest folder, there'll be two folders: long number and '0'. Inspect both of them, long number first. Your savefiles should be there, check the modification date of the files to confirm them. Inspect '0', there's the folders "multiplayer" and "singleplayer". They're empty unless you then accepted your fate and started another game with the anonymous thingie. Delete the '0' folder. Start the game. You'll have your saves back.
Why it keeps crashing? im running as administrator, turned off the virus protection, tried opening the game like 50 times and can't get past the "ENDGAME" screen without the app crashing itself ...
The method used to crack games is similar to the method used to code malware! Anti-virus programs will detect the crack as a virus and delete it, even though it isn’t! :)
i got the same problem and how do i get rid off the windows defender thinking that my trash can is infected i deleted the forest and then got this notification from defender that my trash can got infected by the virus and yes i made sure that this is the correct file and all. so what i mean is that because i deleted the forest in my trash it now appears to think that it got infected with a trojan dynamer!rfn
