Regarding Maya and that damned loan, a rather significant bit on info came to light at the end of episode 8: Patrick works at a used car dealership.

While it may be undeserved for many in the profession, used car salesmen have a bad reputation for being dishonest and tricky (not to be confused with Peachy and Tricky - that would be Maya & Josy). DPC pretty much plays on stereo types throughout the game, and this could just be a further shortcut to exposing Patrick's character.

We already know he's a controlling, religious type, with somewhat antiquated views on sexuality, but now we could also assume he's a dishonest sleazebag (if we didn't already get that vibe based on him blackmailing his own daughter in the first place).

Also, as a car salesman, he may have actually financed his kids through his own channels, rather than through typical student loan path, which explains how he may have managed more flexibility with the cash and possibly do some dodgy-dealings on the co-signer part of the loan, etc.

Of course a personal loan would come with higher interest rates and repayments would start sooner, but that's the price a blackmailer has to pay if he wants to fuck with his daughter's life.

Sure it's a reach, but it's something, and there really hasn't been enough discussion about Patrick's line of work. :unsure:

Oh, and here's a nice coincidence:

Just like the trusting Maya was duped by her used car salesman dad.

And now she has trust issues.

:ROFLMAO:

Not sure if someone has already said this to you, but since you've mentioned you've got an old laptop, are you running the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the executable?

Since episode 8 came out, the game has switched over to the 64-bit engine. The filename is:

BeingADIK.exe

But you can still run the 32-bit version. The filename is:

BeingADIK-32.exe

Both are in the main folder of the game, so you don't need to do anything to get it.

So give both a go and see if it makes any difference.


From what I understand, if you're gonna get COVID, Omicron is the strain to get. Wishing a speedy recovery to DPC, because we care for his health of course, nothing to do with wanting The Interlude. :p

Maybe it's just me, but I feel a little uncomfortable discussing proper fucking "babies". :eek:
Well they say the devil is in the details, and I think that's something that DPC is learning the hard way. Deciding the ending at the outset and putting off deciding on the path or details is fraught with pitfalls.

So I already have v0.7.2 installed and it's 15 GB. Is there a way that I won't have to download the whole 18 GB of the new update? most of it is gonna be the same files as the old update anyway.
The is no official update patch. There is an though.
with Ren´Py Games I have encountered similar crashes. What a legend for example.
I have a fairly old laptop on which I am playing
Problems with Ren'Py games on old machines are often related to graphics drivers issues, which you might be able to fix by . That seems unlikely in this case though, since you're only crashing at certain spots.

I notice the Windows error is in German. You aren't using a translation are you? No idea if there's one for this game anyway.

You might want to post the log files to see if there's anything useful.
  • Go to where the BeingADIK.exe is, and if there is an errors.txt or traceback.txt, delete them.
  • Then run the game and go and click on one of those things that crashes the game.
  • Then go back to the directory where BeingADIK.exe is, and look for log.txt, errors.txt and/or traceback.txt. Zip any of these files that are present and attach it to your post.

The inheritance and the letter were probably sent by a Preps named Trend. He is the lawyer of the preps. In EP3 there is a scene where this Trend refers to two numbers, 4 and 5. The secretary should not forget this time, Trend said.:unsure:

I suspect that the MC is being cheated out of his inheritance with the check and the lawyer's letter, which Neil and the MC don't understand. Someone in Rich's family died. It could all be connected. You also have to remember Jill's circle of friends. We weren't aware of him in EP3, but he was there. So Lynette's diary and clothes could also be from one of Lynette's friends.:unsure:
Some of MC's new friends in the preps may be able to help out someday?

Most likely it's the same as what we have here so Scrappy Mod should work. And you can always ask in his thread if it works for the gog version.
No it does not work, I already tryed. Console command works, but I need list of commands.:)

Hi, recently downloaded this new patch, but my game doesn't open for some reason. I'm using a mac computer with my game originally at v0.7.1. I've merged the files of this update into the games folder. Then downloaded and added the walkthrough mod. When I open the game app on my laptop it just doesn't open. Reversed back to the v0.7.1 game and it works once again.

Please help! Thank you all :))

Note: The official v0.8.2 Update Patch won't work with the unofficial patch, due to how Ren'Py handles alphabetical filename precedence. So if you patched to 0.8.0 or 0.8.1 using a previous version of the unofficial patch, then use the following to update to v0.8.2:
