I’m having an issue, or want to suggest a feature! What do I do?
If you’re having an issue, please first check the documentation and/or example project. If this doesn’t help you with your RSSFeeder issue, please leave a reply to this thread or get in touch with us via email (see the final section of the documentation or our marketplace seller profile for our email address). If you have a feature suggestion, then please leave a reply to this thread telling us what you would love to see added to RSSFeeder, and if you can, why you’d want it added!
What are the requirements?
RSSFeeder currently only supports Windows (see the Which platforms will RSSFeeder work on section for more details), and you will need to be running a webserver/website that has an RSS feed & pages in order for RSSFeeder to get your game’s news. Please note that the documentation does not currently cover setting this up, so refer to your CMS’s documentation or website’s developer for more information about RSS feeds.
