Unless you have loaded a previous save, this shouldn't happen.
Did you see the first "cutscene" the pre rendered one with the ship?
And just to be sure, if you hit H, does nothing happen? The map is UI, so if it hides it, there's probs a UI layering problem.
That's the only two things I can think of atm.

This was my first time playing the game, so I wasn't using a previous save. I had seen the cutscene where you warp away, and then you go talk to Princess and the smoking chick. Is that warping cutscene the scene you're referring to? H did nothing. I tried every letter on my keyboard, the space bar, Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Page Up, Page Down, numbers, Enter, and the symbol keys before posting here for help.

The button deactivates the map and retriggers the "VN mode". Works perfectly on the version I have, so it's maybe a weird interaction I never encountered?
Once you click on warp, do you lose the ability the click the return button or click on the planets?
Does it deactivate the UI, leaving you unable to interact with anything?

Because the only thing the game does is hiding the Map UI and saving the game.


If you don't mind, I'd like you to try this version and see if you have the same bug.

Cause I already encountered people crashing at the Cutscenes, but your case is new...

The UI still works, but there's just nothing much to choose from there. I can still click on both planets. I lose the ability to engage warp. Not that it really did anything, anyway. I'll be glad to give the version you attached a try. I'll let you know how it goes.

1.30 works. I just clicked, and the game moved on.

I was able to get back to that point so quickly that I'm willing to try 1.4 again to see if it only got stuck last night.

I am le confused then, cause I guarantee I changed absolutely nothing on this part of the game.

Below is a save for 1.4 that is right after the map.
I'm curious if all maps crash for you or just this one.
You can find saved data under LocalLow>CTS>AOW>Data>Saves.

Just if you have the faith / time ofc

Version 1.30 works. Version 1.4 does not. Attached is a video from v1.4.

 

[AnyName'llDo]

If I play v1.30 past that point (retaining my choices in case they impact anything), save my game, then play v1.4 with the save from that point on, would that be okay, or should the 1.3 version be incompatible?

Incidentally, I like the Sunrider series, so it's cool to see the inspiration here.

Unfortunately, I suck at data management, so, no. A couple variables would crash the game.
Though if you go as far as you can in 1.3, it only crashes at the very end of 1.4 (aka the ened of the game) it seems.

Not ideal, but understandable, and thank you for the response. Better than wasting my time trying and causing problems.

Not sure if its just me, but I restarted a new game. And I noticed the opening has a lot of missing dialogue. Like the Capt speech to the crew after the first battle is completely skipped over. Others as well. Its was all the capt's dialogue. I played previous versions and never encounter this. Bug maybe anyway, dev asked to report so there it is.

I need more details.
Do you mean that when you click it skips over to the next text box, and you have to roll back?

You say that "Others as well", but in the next sentence,it's "all capt's dialogue".
Does it only happen for one char? For every single one? Is there a patern, is it random?

Are you using instant speed dialogue? Or just very fast?
What key do you use to go to the next? Or do you use click?


I personally don't have this pb at all, so I need as much info as I can.

The only pattern I see only the MC dialogue skips. Its not all the time. So the first I noticed is the MC talking to Rear Admiral that goes from (Screenshot 1) to (Screenshot 2). I'm pretty sure if I remember from previous versions that the MC has dialogue here. Then again when MC is talk to the OX it goes from Screenshot 3 to Screenshot 4. Again I'm pretty sure MC's dialogue is supposed to be there. Thena finally MC speech from the crew Screenshot 5 then says "Lancer out." and goes to right to screenshot 6 and 7 right away and I know there is MC dialogue there from previous versions. I stopped playing after that because I knew something was wrong. Not sure what to make of it. Hope this helps.

I'm getting this bug too. When broken, it seems to also disable skipping text entirely, at least for me - as you can no longer skip text at all once it skips over you.

Something else I found is that after this initial section, it only happens in certain spots, and not all the time.

Got it. I'll investigate that tomorrow. Thanks for the report.

 

[Raed2A]

Woah is this finally finished? ❤Also did u include cat fights over the mc like i recommended??

 

[thebladeofwar]

Fantastic game and art. Just wanted to let you know of a bug I found, not sure if it's know about already. In 1.4 when reaching the Eva bed scene it seems MCs lines are all missing, unless Eva really likes talking to herself. But it seems if I roll back I can see the text, sometimes at least.

Think I figured it out. Seems to happen at max text speed.

 

[thebladeofwar]

Are there currently loyalty routes in the game? I recently got to the scene with Rachel as a guy banging everything with a pulse, where you get a rock talk with Vels brother about being being a poly prick and to say fuck it have fun. But that makes me think there might be a whole new way to play, and I am curious to see what events and special events play if I am a good boy to just one girl. Just wanted to check before replaying. Or is this a game where you are supposed to captain Kirk and just go have a ball.

I didn't even realize this was happening until you brought it up. I am missing MC dialogue, too. Not everything. It was easy to think it may have been intentional. Like the half of the conversation that you are reading was supposed to summarize the MC's input in the responses.

I'm able to skip text still, so maybe you just don't have the option selected to skip unread dialogue checked? Not that I'd recommend skipping something you haven't read.
