Found a save-ending bug. After krill kills his clone & the torture sequence, when trying to leave the room. Mr T-Pose freezes kill mid walking animation and the game can’t move past it.
also noticed that the exocism contracts don’t skip on the “auto win battles” mode.
How do you even do the exorcism stuff? Like I’m tracing the shape and it doesn’t show any completion. Pretty frustrating icl. Genuinely wish I could just skip it
The bugs I encountered have been fixed, however there seems to be something missing with Galina. I can’t look closely at her or view her physical data.
Hmm, the options appear once you’ve started dating her, where for Lera and Milana they are there as soon as you get the power from Baccus.
I’ve tried so hard to play this game but every time I play it I get soft-locked super hard. This version I get soft-locked on the unskippable portion where you have to go fight the rivals. I fight the guys and I have to use task manager to shut off the game because it freezes. Every time. It’s done this four or five times even with the bug fix. I’ve played this game since at least 1.2ish and have only ever reached an ending twice because I’ll get 3 or so hours into it and get to a point where a character either disappeares completely or get some sort of unskippable cutscene that completely freezes the game. I’ve tried but I can’t do it anymore, I hope for the best for this game but I can’t play it.
I don’t know if I’m not focusing on the right things but the combat suddenly feels impossible, even on the lowest difficulty. The enemies seem to be able to tear me to pieces inflicting injury after injury on me even through shields and healing, where I can barely even hurt them. I’m now soft locked at the warehouse fight because the mercenaries can inflict 2 to 3 injuries on me every turn. I also think that Galena’s relationship buff of 250hp is not being applied.
I also swear there used to be more time in each day, I wake up with 3 time points, but I swear I used to have to have 4 daily, unless I’m misremembering. Overall, it feels like to actually beat the game, you need to focus exclusively on combat necromagic training, giving you no time to get the baccus upgrades or talk to anyone. It is entirely possible I need to be talking to people more of course! I’ll give it a try but I will have to restart my run unfortunately…
I’m sorry this is happenning to you, I’ll try to work more on fixing these bugs. Can you elaborate which fights this happens on?
Are you really playing the lowest difficulty? Your comment sounds like you are playing on third difficulty (post-graduate). I didn’t make the combat harder, I didn’t even change it in any capacity since 1.0. Can you open the debug window on letter ’ (or ~) and send a screenshot? It usually tells the level of difficulty of the current save. Should be 0.75 for the easiest difficulty and 1.25 for post-graduate. If it’s 1.25, please try starting the game on the bachelor difficulty and send me a screenshot again, if the difficulty is set to 1.25 again, maybe something got broken in initialization difficulty and I’ll have to fix something there.
Some quick issue and thoughts on 1.5.1 as I’m early in my playthrough but with at least one softlock, I figured I would get this out there right now.
During the intro when you are instructed to buy ashes, after you purchase them in store the tutorial message for buying them does not disappear and does not let you continue. This softlocks you from not being able to do anything else. Also you can buy other things during this and flip through the pages in the store menu causing you to not be able to do anything during this tutorial as well and being softlocked. Not sure if this is an interaction with skipping combat or not but I do have that turned on. Skipping the prologue is the only way I got around this.
I had a bug that when I chose to skip the prologue the screen was really dark after continuing from the first load screen. I’ve included a normal brightness screenshot for comparison. It’s similar to the kind of effect that happens during the tutorial messages.
When first talking to Anna and choosing to ‘be outraged’ she repeats her reply conversation to you twice, starting with the line, “You’re all equally highborn here, Sir.” She says all of her lines again a second time.
The same thing happens for the other option when choosing ‘ask for reasons’ Anna will repeat her dialogue a second time, starting with the line, “That’s the girls’ dormitory wing.”
This line should be said by Kirill, instead of Anna. This is from the first stage ‘look closely’ dialogue for Anna where Kirill remarks how the stool she’s in looks uncomfortable.
I love the new text system. It’s a vast improvement over the original, it’s much quicker, more organized, and looks great. There being a chat log history is a great addition.
The game loads much quicker and runs greats, and I love the new art for the loading screens.
I like the scroll bar on the options menu for interacting with each girl, but it would be nice to have the scroll wheel be able to move the menu up and down as to have more options then just having to click and drag.
It’s still really early for me but loving the character of Anna so far as I’ve just started to dip into her route.
i am getting a bug where after going to sleep after 46% progress CG 20 comes on screen but without chatboxes or any way to get it away. i am now stuck at this screen.
Keyfarer, I can confirm a bug: I started a new game on Bachelor difficulty, before each interaction I checked the difficulty was set to 0.75. Then I did my first Put to Rest contract, only for the difficulty to shoot up to 1.25 once the fight was done. This difficulty increase seems to be permanent and explains why I suddenly started to really struggle on all my runs shortly after the first day or so. (I took lots of Baccus upgrades because I thought I was still on Bachelor difficulty, meaning Kirill was very weak!)
I did start my very first game on this update as a Postgraduate to test the difficulty, then chose to play on Bachelor later, I do not know if that has anything to do with it. Here is the game state panel right after the bug happened, just after the fight:
@Keyfarer Here are some more issues or bugs I’ve run into in 1.5.1. I always use fresh saves and delete old stuff with new patches or versions but some of this stuff will likely need me to start over to continue a playthrough to not run into weird issues. So, I’ll likely wait to dig into the rest of the content until a few of the more serious issues or things not triggering are sorted out. Been loving the changes and new stuff I’ve seen so far though.
This loading screen is messed up sometimes (I believe, as I don’t think this is intentional.) The arm just kind of waves around and morphs constantly with limited opacity but only sometimes.
The texting images in general have layering issues if brought up while the text dialogue
is popping up. This causes the chat bubbles to overlay the top of the image.
During that same scene when going to bed for the night, Kirill was stuck in a running loop when I approached the bed. Nothing happens with this issue other than Kirill running in the background as the text is on screen as you are advancing through.
The text notification sound I believe is not triggering all the time at the start of a new day for certain messages.
There’s something weird going on with the curse system with the addition of Anna. From what I can tell when you have curses cast on a single girl when a new girl unlocks as a girlfriend to be able to receive curses, she will just have some of them automatically applied. I think this happens with the advanced and basic curse and the skin and appetite rank 2. It does not affect rank 1’s cast, just the 2nd rank in my experience. I assume this is also the case for hunger, gas, and bowels but I never use those on any girl. This also does not impact the cost of curses so in my case I had all four girls “cursed” with everything but hunger, gas, and bowel but it was only 750 gold a day. I think Galina is counting as a single girl and Anna and Lera are gaining/removing the curses at the same time. I checked this with Milana after I unlocked her and I’m not sure if she is ‘linked’ like Lera and Anna are.
The muscle burner curse I was able to apply one time to someone, but it’s gone for all girls except Milana for me currently. Not sure if this is related to the weird curse stuff going on.
Georgy’s mission to infiltrate the warehouse still freezes. When you first get into the combat section you can’t advance the dialogue at all. The only thing that fixes this for me is hitting the windows key a few times and clicking back into the game (I play in Fullscreen.) I’ve not had this issue other than in 1.4 and now 1.5.
Galina’s 2nd weight gain stage did not have any dates for me to go on. It was like I had done them all. This might have happened because I had completed her dates and the last date pushed her to the new weight stage. And with no way to repeat dates I didn’t have the option to do anything but pass. Tested to her third weight stage and same thing no dates are present you can only pass.
The first competition between Lera and Galina had no CG; it was just a black screen. This will also default to another CG depending on the situation, in my case Lera’s sex scene CG was in its place instead of the black screen on reloading saves.
The text chat box for the first competition event also does this right before transitioning to the CG and right after loading back in and ending the event.
For Lera’s first weight gain stage there was no stuffed sex scene CG. And from what I can tell from the changelog there should be. She was fed until she was ready to pop and then taken on a date to make sure and there was no difference compared to her normal sex scene. I have not made it further to test higher stages.
The first competition stage lists Galina as ‘armor’ and nothing for Lera in the texts.
Anna has a spend time event that will not trigger when you click it, nothing happens. Even when she has gone up a stage and seen the new sex scene nothing happens, and she can no longer go on any dates. (Not a 100% certain there are more dates for her past the first one at her base weight stage.)
I might Ive missed something crucial but why do i get expelled after the ballroom dance on the 20th? Ive tried all the options but I cant advance any further.
Alright I dont know if im just stupid, but how do I confirm the excorcism? Whenever I finish drawing I have to wait till the timer runs out and get 0 points, but I also havent found any button to finish faster
It will auto complete if you have filled in all the area’s you’re supposed to. If it’s not, that’s because you’ve not completed it. I would recommend looking for small spots you missed or simply trace over the shape again if you have enough time.
So far I havent noticed a single bit of leftovers, or am I supposed to paint inside the shape too? Because I’ve made sure the entire thing is red multiple times
No, just the ‘grooves’ that make up the shape. I’ve never failed one of them or even ran out of time so I’m not sure what I can say other than if there is a bug or issue with the exorcism. I’ve not personally experienced it. Anytime it’s not auto completed it’s because I’ve needed to go back in and fill in a spot I’ve missed. Sometimes they are small but it’s been pretty much functioning like I would expect it to. Not saying there can’t be a bug but if there is I have not seen it with any of the exorcisms.
I mean it also comes down to how well you can trace the shape and I duck at that, then you mix in the ghost attacks and it does get extremely frustrating when you’re constantly only making like half of the money. Personally I’m not a fan
Alright, 1.52 is ready, I think I tackled most of the annoying bugs and the game is in a pretty adequate state. I do plan on realising 1.53 later down the line, but it will have more… Cosmetic fixes.
Bugfixes:
After spending time with Anna 5 times, the spend time button with her disappears properly
Anna’s curses no longer get applied to Valeria instead
Kirill gets Anna’s portraits less often
You no longer lose the ability to ask Anna on a date in the day you’ve spent time with her
You can no longer talk to NPCs while reading chat messages
Fixed some loading screens visual bugs
Kirill stops running if you run during Anna’s NSFW scenes
Made an attempt to fix freezing of the Georgy’s quest
Girls being stuffed no longer prevents their dates from being availiable (if you got them stuffed and they moved up a weight stage, you’d receive a stuffed picture, but wouldn’t be able to go to new dates before a girl would send you her “weight gain” picture)
Fixed Lera-Galina harem being interactive only through spacebar, fixed it’s visual bugs and returned proper CG visualisation
Galina is properly called “Hog” in chat messages if she is your feedee
Fixed being able to select saves when the save menu is not open, leading to permanent variables (like autowins, violence restriction, difficulty, etc) being mixed up between saves or even defaulting to base values if the accidentally selected save is not filled (this is huge)
Fixed tutorial softlocking the game when buying ashes
Fixed exorcism orders not counting progress (I hope)
