Imagine complaining about a character being a cock block, then insulting people suggesting to use the mod, when the mod enables you to move said character to a different location & thereby remove any cock block.
Wow. That's a special kind of special.
Perhaps if he hadn't been a giant douchenozzle with his gif in the first half of his post he would have been taken more seriously. Did you even look or are you just piling on for internet clout? The mod takes too much of the randomness out of the game. Wanting to be able to send someone away to still experience the randomness but slightly less is not the same as wanting ez mode.

FYI and future gameplays, you can see those hints hovering the event.
The only problem is the in game hover hints are missing a step.

The hover hint "You've seen Amy and Alice having fun in the shower and also Amy's arrival scene" --> technically those hints actually unlock Alice's "Ask if she's close with her step sister Amy" conversation option. And the "step sister" conversation is really the true trigger for the "talk about time at school" conversation, which in turn is the trigger for the Devin Cline websearch.

LOL, I'm being over-precise maybe, but some of the achievement triggers can be really tricky to get, so I wanted to post this.

here are the files you requested thank you for your help
Are you sure that your physical screen and your windows settings support 1366x768 ?

Because your log file suggests otherwise:
Screen sizes: virtual=(1280, 720) physical=(1184, 666) drawable=(1184, 666)

It indicates that it only supports 1184x666. At least the game thinks so. That's probably why the minimum game resolution of 1280x720 is not working.

Random comment but I just needed to say it: 1184x666 is a very weird and uncommon resolution, and I think I've never heard of it used in Spain. The oldest monitor of the 2 I have on my computer setup that I just retired from service was 1600x900, had 14 years of honorable service, and was still working, so... Where is that resolution still used? I know, I'm a tech elitist sometimes, don't judge me. I'm just curious xD

I found this . While there is no definitive answer it seems to be having to do with fitting the maximum number of pixels while preserving the 16:9 screen ratio.

Edit: some more research, it is about the same number of pixels as 1024x768, but that has the 4:3 screen ratio. 1184x666 fits that number of pixels in 16:9.

Edit2: it seems this was something invented around 2005 to get video hardware with only memory capacity for 1024x768 onto the 16:9 ratio. It is doubtfull that hardware that old is still operable with current systems. So likely it is some virtual/emulation thingy to accomodate some very old and weird programs.

I found Yvettes sunglasses at the beach bar. How do I use these, or give them back to Yvette?

Since you say in the game settings you don't have you resolution. Does it mean the game starts and you can see the screen with the options?

I have been going in and out of this game from the start. One thing I really appreciate from the developer is that no matter which version you last played, if you load that save file, it updates to the current one. That helps so much and if you see this, thank you.

I guess this is a question for darkhound1 - how did you achieve this rare feat?
What tips can you give a novice dev (I'm beginning my Ren'Py journey atm) that would help to avoid the all-too-frequent "Sorry, following the update, your saves no longer work and you'll have to start again"*


*'Lab Rats 2' anyone?
