So I'm having some trouble running v0.11. Every time I try and start it my computer seriously starts lagging. Like mouse frame skipping around the screen and making it very difficult to do anything. The game never starts, and I never even see the opening window where you choose the resolution before the actual game launches. I have to struggle to open up task manager to force close the program, and then everything resumes like normal. I don't have any idea why this is happening. I've tried redownloading it several times, and even tried it after rebooting so I could be sure there wasn't anything else running in the background. Any ideas?

i wonder after DarkSilver reads this
Will the Dev team add a Church ..for Ann can take her kids and try to rebuild her family
How about: Through the seedy world of porn Ann meets a very religious lesbian partner that cracks down the sinful life of the entire family. Max's task is to corrupt her.

I've been using wine for Windows only games for a while with good success. Last night I tried BB in wine for the first time and encountered a strange issue.

So my prefix is /mnt/wine/bottle, the Z: drive is mapped to /mnt/wine/z, and the BB folder is '/mnt/wine/z/BB/'. I'm usually in /mnt/wine when I input the wine command, eg.

Code:
/mnt/wine $ WINEPREFIX=/mnt/wine/bottle wine Z:\\BB\\BigBrother.exe &>/tmp/out
But when I do that with BB the menu entries on the main screen looked like eg #menu-newgame# and clicking on that broken New Game entry resulted in a blank screen. I eventually realized that I had to be in the BB directory when I launched wine, eg.

Code:
/mnt/wine/z/BB $ WINEPREFIX=/mnt/wine/bottle wine Z:\\BB\\BigBrother.exe &>/tmp/out
So things seem to be working for me now, but if anyone can give me any indication of why BB (and only BB AFAICT) seems to care about my working dir I'm all ears.

FWIW I'm on Arch and I'm now running wine-staging. The issue also occurred with the standard wine pkg, though I didn't test the workaround with it.
Interesting, I just tried running BB from a different directory and also managed to replicate your results. It seems it also created a config.cfg file for BB in the directory I started from with some default values indicating it's looking for the "images', 'Save' and 'Data' directories in the current directory, not in the directory the .exe is in.

I've noticed some windows/mac users also mentioning this issue with the #menu-newgame#. This might prove useful for them for debugging. Make sure the paths for the 'Images', 'Save' and 'Data' directories are correct in the config.cfg that comes with BB.

This is what comes in the config.cfg:

Code:
images=Images\\
save=Save\\
data=Data\\
lang=0
maxlangs=2
scale=100%
font=100%
quicksave=f5
quickload=f8
maxfiles=100
I believe anyone facing this issue should make sure they launch it from the directory the .exe is in and not from a shortcut or something. If that doesn't work, try putting in the complete paths for the 'images', 'save' and 'data' fields in the config.cfg file.

not necessarily .... doing porn movies can be a big influence for the game. Things can happen while porn that influences this family, ne sexpractises can be introduced which are done at home later. e.g. a lesbian scene between alice and ann can lead to some lesbian scenes at home and much more. A job and private live often have influence to each ofter. Only imagination sets limits :)
If it happens as you described, it'll still suck because it's repetitive. Lesbian scene in the movie this update? Same lesbian scene at home next update. It sucks that BB's sex content has been extremely repetitive because there is no meaningful storyline going on at all in the game.

Hmmm Could be an ultimate challange for Max to first have to find a bible. Leaving home and going to the local church he meets a supper sexy, young and 100% no coruptable nun.. Now thats a challange, haha

Who knows whether the continuation of the story Eric?
That ship has sailed. In one of the routes you have him killed.

So it looks like the Olivia route is going to be the 'romance' outlet for Max. Which again pretty much misses the point of all those requests in the first place. It also looks like sex with Lisa will be at minimum in 0.13 but I don't see her winning the poll so 0.14 seems far more likely. Whee.

Good point as he never sticks to what they actually vote for, it wouldn’t even surprise me if sex with Ann is a dream that Max has
It would probably be something like that, but I'm sure it will only happen when "The Wolf of Patreon Street" loses a lot of Patreons, which is really hard because any teenager today has a credit card.

they are a difference between "having a credit card" and "having a money source" . kids tend to spend money on alots of things and they are limited in amount easily (because no job or parents dont want to give them tons of money)

in same time.. why did the dev would waste time to make something that have been almost perfectly created via mods ? ( another nice excuse imho , not to blame the mods, at the contrary )

You must not do anything with her at all, no blowjobs in the bathroom, no sex in the kitchen and so on.

Well, this is perhaps one of the reasons Patreon's games are priced at $ 30 ~ 50, a nearly insignificant amount for a credit card bill. Right? If you think the work of modders "Almost perfect", then I believe you can do better than them, and that only Dev can really do something perfect, then this would not be a waste of time.
