Game versions
A game version installs independently of any instance: it is the game’s own files, shared by every instance that points at it, not a save profile. Several instances can use the same installed version without downloading anything twice.
Stable and test versions
Section titled “Stable and test versions”- stable: normally numbered versions,
1.21.3for example. - test versions: candidates for the next stable, suffixed
-rc.N, such as1.22.0-rc.1. They carry anunstablebadge, are listed apart, and a toggle on the Versions screen shows or hides them.
No account required
Section titled “No account required”Listing and downloading game versions requires no vintagestory.at account: the catalog and the files are public, served straight from the official infrastructure. You can install Vintage Story before ever thinking about signing in.
Installed and available
Section titled “Installed and available”The Versions screen separates what is already on your disk from what is left to
install, with each download’s size stated plainly (578.9 MB, say) before
anything starts. An install only counts once it is checked: the game’s files
must really be where they belong, or the version is not marked installed.
Uninstalling a version is one click on its row and frees the disk.
