someone is already working on it :)

Hi, as far as I know, this is fixed. Should this issue be marked as solved?

Thanks for the reminder @NicusorN5

This is the error message I get when trying to start Stride 3.0.0.9. I have VS 2022 with all the C# and game extensions I can think of:

The window is labeled Xenko Game Studio 3.0.0.9

Xenko is unsupported, it was made when SiliconStudio was still developing the game engine. Stride is the FOSS version. Xenko versions are only provided for compatibility reason in case someone had an old project they wanted to migrate. It shouldn't be used for new projects.

That's what I thought I read. But, every download puts it on my computer. I have installed, uninstalled it maybe 6 times at this point. What is the link where I can get a good download, or is it just the one site?

[Eideren]

What you've stumbled into is actually a weird issue with nuget which is the provider for the download. Open your cmd/terminal and run:

dotnet nuget add source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json -n nuget.org

And you should be good to go

That got me further, but I get this:

I have .net 8 with VS. And I installed 4.2.0.2149. I am using Powershell to install, and it did work. I did the trust command for the cert.

Is it finicky as to where it is installed? What directory?
I am positive I did the MSBuild.

[Sunflair0]

I am still having problems with this. Is this the correct place to post for it?

I have gone into the file MSBuild and seen the files it says it cannot find.

Here is the error message:

Best to create a new issue specifically for this since it's a different error. But while we're here, it looks like you have dotnet x86 installed instead of x64, uninstall x86 and install x64 instead.
