FAQ

Brick-Force Aurora

When is the full version available? 

We don't know, we're trying our best to maintain progress and give updates to you, but we can't put a date on it.

How can I play? 

Download the launcher from GitHub, run and install the game. Add your name into the email field and using the F4 host menu host or join a game.

How can I manually update to a newer version? 

After installing the game via the launcher, download the current DLL from GitHub. Go to the folder where you installed the game/launcher, navigate to BrickForce_Data/Managed, and replace the DLL there. Ensure everyone is on the same version to play together. Start the game using BrickForce.exe and not the Launcher.

How can I play together with others? 

Get into a network with other players (VPN or LAN). Recommended service: Radmin VPN (Hamachi could also work, not tested). Allow any firewall exceptions that may pop up. One player acts as host and inputs their network IP in the Host IP text field (default value can be set in Config). Use 127.0.0.1 for solo testing. Host clicks "Host Match," and others click "Join Match." After connecting, click Play, create a room, and ensure everyone has the files for the current map loaded. The room master starts the match once all players are ready. Tutorial (German, English Sub)

I am stuck in "Downloading Once..." 

Most likely, something is faulty in your config. To fix this issue, go to the Registry Editor and navigate to: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\EXE Games\BrickForce, and delete the EXE Games folder. Restart the game, and it should work.

How can I start with development? 

Install Visual Studio 2022 and .NET Desktop Development. Using "Install or Change Feature," install .NET Framework 3.5. Open the solution file Brick-Force.sln. Install the Launcher and the Game into the same folder where the Brick-Force Repository Folder is to resolve all dependencies (e.g., Folder/BfLauncher and Folder/Brick-Force). Change the Build Output Path to Brick-Force_Data/Managed in project properties. If necessary, reimport ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll as a reference. To debug, select Brick-Force.exe as the external program.
