Hi everyone, we have just released another patch for 0.18 that primarily focuses on fixing the corrupted animations of 0.18.2.

While animations worked properly in our internal development build, an issue with the compression upon packaging resulted in most animations becoming choppy and / or incomplete, apologies for that.

They should be properly working now.

We also took this opportunity to quickly fix certain issues that were reported regarding the new, and update a few translation files.

Full changelog follows below:

Update 0.18.3 patch notes
Minor changes / Bugfixes:

• Fixed all animations that were choppy or incomplete due to compression
• Fixed a potential soft-lock in the music player when selecting multiple categories
• Fixed an issue where Ain's event after the market could not be unlocked in the gallery. Loading a save should retroactively unlock it if you have seen the event at least once.
• Simplified the conditions for the twins market scene (accessing it is now more consistent)
• Fixed a logical error that prevented Kateryna's quest from concluding if the player hasn't romanced her

Translations

• Added Italian translation (credits: Eagle1900)
• Updated Simplified Chinese translation (credits: aler)
• Updated Russian translation (credits: Kasatik)

As always, thank you to each and every one that reported bugs and other issues, and we will continue working on the remaining issues in the meantime.

Until next time,
Paz.

I have 0.18.1.
What should I patch it with or should I download the whole game again?

Yeah, it has to be downloaded as a whole. There is never an official "update only" version. So you have to download 0.18.3 and extract it into it's own directory.

I tried to click the ! but, I keep getting this message. Is it the game or the mod doing it?

If this isn't fixed in 18.3 then see this post for the solution:

[Alleykatt]

I must admit, I have been completely put off playing this again after it was so sanitised for the Steam release. It's silly really because I don't think I really would miss anything that has been removed, but just knowing that it was altered changes my entire feeling for the game.

 

[BeenThroughHell]

Is there no gallery mod for android version?

It's not a matter of getting "fixed" because the game itself is fine. This problem is caused by using an outdated walkthrough mod that is overwriting game files with bad variables. https://f95zone.to/threads/desert-stalker-v0-18-3-zetan.68105/post-16865183

It'd be better to just extract a new copy of 18.3 and do not install the outdated mod in the first place. If you need a mod, then just use URM because it doesn't overwrite game files.

So far so good, just a brief change of POV for an interesting side story.

The only mod I ever use for any renpy game is URM. I don't bother with any mods that mess with game files. So no, sorry.

I wish we had a choice to decide where we want to have intercourse. There are some places I would skip.

I'm confused

Don't pay attention, the guy's diagnostics are Igor/Omar and some Sahara. In general, troll

 

[Satou Pendragon]

I'm confused

He wants to sell the Desert for 10 bucks to someone.

 

[SonsOfLiberty]

sons is this the final update of 18?

The other one should have been final, but as noted in the changelog, I guess the animations got messed up for a lot of people due to the compression they used. So, it sounds like an update that had to happen. I would assume it would be the final one, but v0.17 had a couple more after the final one as well, but they were mainly added translations and minor fixes, not really worth redownloading.

In this case v0.18.3 sounds like it is necessary to download if you had the animation troubles.

Oh, that mod is done by AdanGC, he takes a while regardless of when the final comes out. He works during the week and only has sparingly amount of time to work on mods on the weekend.
