After I updated for the last version, I start a new game, but some scenes are bugged.

Walking on the beach with Alice, when the topless scene is going to be all black, only the subtitles appear.

When Heater goes up to the room asking for sunscreen, everything is black too, only the subtitles appear.

Have a bugfix for this?

Might have just found a bug - after I book the second appointment with Joy (after Jennifer's) then i get a message from Joy the morning (2am?) of the event saying I didn't show. This might be related to similar bugs that trigger at 2-3am in the player room.

I think I found an odd bug in the poker game.
When playing poker and both players have a straight, instead of declaring a draw, the game compares the two hole cards and awards the game to the player with the better hand.
Don't stop working on the lab, since the problem is a small one.
Maybe someone else can check to see if it's a real bug.

I had not been given a wish for Faye or Jessica yet, but they were both on the island.
I went to see Joy, and she told me there weren't any girls who had submitted wishes at this time.
Is there something I need to do to get these to trigger?
I haven't done Jennifer's second wish yet because I think that you need Jessica's denim quest finished.
My problem may have been caused by my getting the Natasha night visit the night before. This would have given reception an option to meet with Joy about Natasha's breasts which could've caused the confusion.

Faye and Jessica do not have any wishes or desires at this time. If you're referring to Jennifer's quest of helping her friend Nathan as a wish, that too is incorrect. It is a separate quest for Jennifer of which Alice and Jessica are a part. Faye's sunset walk and room visit are triggered by having taking a sunset walk with Yvette first and having Faye win the butt contest.

So if Eva is on the island when you start, and you send her away, when you bring her back, you get her second arrival scene.
Is there any way after that to get her first scene?

Thanks, I misremembered the trigger for Faye's walk.
I'm going to do a search for Nathan to see how to trigger that one.
Still, these two things might've been wishes to add more scenes for Joy.

Edit: I think I've got it. I'll try the Nathan quest.
