New Player. Just downloaded Book 1 and ran the exe for win64 and the game opens with white backgrounds and the tutorial poker game had only Ace of Spades cards and didn't show the actual card values. Anyone know a fix or which version I should download to play the game without any issues? View attachment 1131466
Hi, can you write here, if it recurs after restarting of game. From time to time, some bug comes up that cannot be repeated. It makes difficult to identify its cause. Restarting of game will help in most cases.
In all case, if you can upload file “player” from this folder:

PC(*): %USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Droid Productions/Love of Magic
OSX: ~/Library/Application Support/Droid Productions/Love of Magic
Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/unity3d/Droid Productions/Love of Magic
Android: (may vary) internal storage/android/data/com.droidproductions.loveofmagic[1,2,3]
Steam/Wine: ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1270210/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Droid Productions/Love of Magic

It could help with bug hunting.
Also, if you can confirm that you downloaded the latest version (post before your).

Crap. That's possibly a broken build (addressables aren't loading correctly).

Is this the 1.0.15 build from last night, or the one from the first page? Also, can you get me the player.log file, from
%USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Droid Productions/Love of Magic

Thanks!

Testing 1.0.15, I can't repro that. The other time I've seen that particular bug was when someone installed it to a folder that used special characters also used by Unity's addressable system ([] and <>, if I recall). So something like installing it to c:\[pr0n] or c:\<porngames> seemed to break it's ability to load properly.

I can confirm your finding. I Dl'ed .15 earlier today and the minotaur fight works fine.

Might just be something random on my machine so don't stress over it. Just wanted to know if anyone had a simple fix. I might be missing some software. Thx.

Looking at the log file, it's definitely the addressables not loading. The path looks complex, but not really illegal (by any of the rules I've sniffed out). Could you try installing it to d:/temp or something like that, see if the problem persists?

You can get everything in a single playthrough, but there is quite a lot of missable side-content you might not see.
This is kinda worrying for me cause i want to enjoy the game and experience everything but at the same time i don't want to follow any walkthrough. Is there is any ingame_walkthrough mod for this game?

There's a quest system, that will nudge you along. Most of the content is also designed to show up organically as you play.

At some point, though... isn't part of the fun of a game to explore the world? See things and discover things? If you remove all choice all that's left is a slideshow or kinetic novel.

There's a walkthrough here that gives hints on the various side-quests

Changelog from 1.0.7b (the latest on the front page):




1.0.15
- Fixed a bug where invalid images being set could trigger an assert, halting script execution
- Fixed a bug where Olivia's combat could trigger an invalid reaction
- Updated Molly's 1st homework session to make her green-eyed
- Updated Olivia's homework art to make her boobs look less ridiculous
- Fixed a bug where you could break Emily's date 6 (lich combat) by killing the enemy before Emily enters combat
- Did a hardcore optimization pass on Android (reducing max texture size for room backgrounds, enabling ETC2 texture compression for characters)

1.0.14
- Updated Molly's nude animating character to have Green eyes (an early version of Molly had blue eyes; I forgot to open redo her nude pose when I changed them to green)
- Updated Emily's casual and nude animating characters; the color palette of the game changes, this brings her up to the slightly more colorful palette I use in the later renders)
- Fixed a logic crash bug that would cause the Snowdrop quest to be impossible to finish if you brought Bella to combat

- Fixed a bug where speed-clicking the allys using the keyboard commands could end up accidentally soft-locking the conversation UI

1.0.12

1.0.10

Trying to find the solution for this was futile.
LoM - Book 1
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
The first one is obvious, go to the coffeeshop again and read the book again.
The second is harder, did you have the 2nd snowdrop event already? if so, take a shower at night. If not either the Crowley isn't fully upgraded yet or your game is bugged, but i'm betting on the first.

I have and she promptly ignore me.

That was it thanks!
I take a bath/shower before bed but I realize now that's it at late night rather than night.
Why wouldn't the Crowley not be fully upgraded?
Without it being so I wouldn't be able to get the outsider visitors or working late nights would I? :unsure:
