Ren'Py Holiday Island [v0.4.5.1] [darkhound1]

[yankeeInKy]

I used to work at AOL back in the day and probably ordered a metric ton or more of the AOL software. Now I'm gonna have nightmares again!

That was a royal pain in the ass to uninstall.

In this universe, more than just one male is on the Island as a guest,

Yeah, and I noticed that all of you look exactly the same.
Coincidence? Artistic laziness? I think not.

My headcanon says that Joy's not trying to make a cloning machine: she already did.
Of course she already did. Can you expect anything less coming from that overachieving bitch .. er, beauty, I meant beauty.
Anyway ... you are merely clones of the original MC.

But then you'll ask: It's impossible! How come the girls didn't age a day since the events of the game?
Well, duh! ... that's Joy we're talking about.

Glad that's not my problem anymore!

IT support?

IT support?

Billing and Tech support, yeah, it sucked! But it sure beat the Hell out of Wal-Mart!

You don't even know how accurate you are especially that second last line "It's Impossible"
The stuff I've seen on the news a couple of days is destroying originality of MC.

More than likely, because no such thing exists. This is a sandbox game not a linear game, meaning that a 'complete' save is nothing other than a file with all achievements completed. However, that doesn't mean you can replay all of them. The best you can do with the majority of achievements is look at the pictures.

Effectively. In all the photos taken on the island with the MC, Joy uses deepfake technology to protect the anonymity of the lottery winner.
In reality, only the girls and Joy know our true identity.

I used to love those free floppy disks that AOL sent me every week. Saved me from buying them for a few years.

Hi all, was hoping to get a bit of assistance. For whatever reason, my computer can't handle some of the higher res animations no matter what trick I try (forcing 720 resolution, ensuring graphics are output through my graphics card vs integrated graphic). For example, I'll always crash at Jennifer's pec training tutorial animation, and Desire's night bar scene, no matter what. Looking at performance in task manager, the GPU spikes to 100% and basically forces a crash of the game.

Attached the Desire traceback as reference as well as the screenshot of the spike.

I'm currently using a pretty modern laptop with Intel 9750 Processor with Nvidia 1660Ti and 32gb memory, so don't believe the hardware is the issue unless there's something wrong with the 1660Ti? Grasping at straws but I did previously play the game on old hardware, but kept and migrated the saves to the new laptop, so maybe that's the issue...?? Old game I think was played on versions before 2.0. Totally just spitballing.

Unless you gents are aware of another solution I should be attempting, thinking maybe I need to do a full uninstall of everything related to the game and all the subfolders, and then reinstall and start from scratch (though hopefully I can keep saves??) If so, wondering besides the folder the game is installed in, where other file path do I need to go in to uninstall things? And if I do need to wipe anything, no worries, I'm sure I can ask for a full save from you fellas

Thanks all! And amazing game, my hands down favourite and can't wait for 3.0!

Windows 10 pc? Fullscreen mode? Control Panel energy savings disabled?

Try to download the WebP codec for windows 10 (easy to google it)
Try to use the onboard graphics
Do you use a compressed version of the game? Try to move the game folder to your desktop

Out of memory
Usually out of memory is GPU, specifically GPU ram.
It'll hit most things in the 1-2GB range since the upgrade to x1440 resolution.

The 32 GB system ram should not factor into it for a dedicated GPU.

Being a laptop it'll be Mobile GTX1660 Ti, but the performance difference is irrelevant for HI and importantly it should still have 6GB in the same manner as the regular one (I use an older desktop GTX 1660 to play games with, so it works)

Unless the software/driver is messing up or your laptop is trying an integrated GPU (despite orders not to do so), you should not have issues.

Flushing renpy memory
There is a command (which I forget right now) which will flush the memory and which can be used through the command interface.

Edit: renpy.free_memory()

Shift + o for interface then that command, try doing it before or while at a place you know you crash.
Not an elegant solution but a thing to try while you find the real issue.

Install and saves
Your saves is located C:\Users\<your user>\AppData\Roaming\RenPy
So they are not affected in the least if you delete and then set up a new HI.

I'd probably want to avoid x86 folders for things like Holiday Island, the various protections the newer windows run with can at times make a mess with some games (general observation, not specific to the issue here)

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

- Yes Windows 10 PC Fullscreen but it crashes whether it's Full or Windowed.
- Tried the WebP codec, didn't work.
- Tried force running through onboard graphics, same crash.
- No Energy Savings settings on.
- Tried the renpy.free_memory() flush, didn't work.

I'll keep trying to muddle around, but appreciate the suggestions

 

[Bantry]

An extreme longshot, but have you considered Windows Gaming Mode? As always make sure you have a complete restore point for your system before making any changes.

Try moving the game to different directory, like "c:\games" or something. Since this is extracted (not technically 'installed'), being in the Program Files directory might play a part.

Try compatibly mode mode (.exe or shortcut properties, compatibility tab and try the different options).

 

[Aereon1104]

Try to download the game again, unzip it in your Desktop for example

 

[yankeeInKy]

Check your bios and see if you can increase your intergraded graphics memory?

 

[Aereon1104]

Can you totally disable the onboard graphics? (in your bios)
