Anyone else having their relationship changed to ''none'' when Megan talks with Taylor outside the house in the latest update? I swear to God, relationships in this game brake like with every new update lately

There's always the option to wait for the finished game. Errors can and will happen during developmen.
Once the season is complete and fully voiced and then errors like these happen, it's a reason to worry :)

Yeah. That's an issue with the "persistent" file that was packed with the game.

You should have deleted "game/saves/persistent" before running the executable.
If you didn't - like i didn't - that persistent overwrote your previous persistent in %APPDATA%.

The only hope is to use your "game/saves/persistent" from your previous release folder, if you kept it.

Otherwise you have to start a new game to re-enter the relationships, or to assign the relevant variables via Console.

Gonna publish a little script to do it automatically, sooner or later. I don't have a computer at hand right now.

Don't panic!
Just open the console and write
b_r="brother"

and hit return.

The other relations are not screwed up for me: just brother becomes none.

--- EDIT:

You have to set the b_r variable manually to "brother" before it is used.

So, for example, if you read "He's your none!", you have to:
1) rollback at least a dialogue line
2) open the console and give the command b_r="brother"
3) close the console and advance the dialogue: now you should read "He's your brother!"

You have to do this only once. It will work for all the following lines.

Still can't open console. I can open the developer screen, but when I try to open console nothing happens. It just returns me to the game.
Yeah. The usual trick doesn't work with this game. You have to edit the original file where it says developer=False and settin it to true.

When I have time and a computer at hand I'll be more precise.

I think i'm done with this update, but the strange this is.
I check all the girls progress to be continued, but if i click Elly it is saying you have to progress the other girls first.

But the other girls story it is saying To be continued ?

Added as Example Megan(This is also for all other girls expect Ellie)

Is this normal for this update, or i'm missing something ?

Inceton clearly do not care about Lust Theory anymore, every update for Season 3 has been shitty except for the first. It's clear they are milking it as it's their most popular release but even then it's pathetic how little content and worse the writing has gotten (yes I know it's a porn game but it's bad by those standard as well).

Even the latest season or episode of the Mia games was nonsensical. Only one that is remotely interesting is Lust Bound and the updates are minuscule as well. It's clear they're just going through the motions to focus on their weird obsession with their NTR games and that shitty Unreal Engine Lust theory game that no one asked for.

The Unreal Engine is meant for games in which moving around, fighting enemies, etc. is the point of the game.

Transposing an AVN from Ren'Py (its natural environment) to Unreal makes no sense because moving the character in a 3D environment just to move from a scene to another and interact with other characters is just boring grinding that could have been done with a couple of clicks.

The display technologxy does not imply grinding, it could all be event based. But it's a complete redesign for sure, you can't bring the story 1:1 to a completely different gameplay environment. Immagine having to walk to school every morning :D

It will takes ages anyway until they get something presentable. So far it's nothing but a tech demo with some hidden events, the house looks awefully empty.

I managed to play an early release and there was to walk from home to the woods just to find Ellie to be fucked.

You had to walk the town in the right direction to find the woods, then wander in the woods until you find Ellie.

Meanwhile, nothing happened. Just plain boring.

Exploring the environment while walking makes sense for games in which you have to fight with enemies on your path.

Otherwise walking 3 minutes in a 3D environment just to find a character is just boring (and personally it gives me motion sickness with all that motion of the virtual camera).

---

Besides I had to decrease the quality a lot to be able to play on a $1000 laptop, because Unreal Engine hardware requirements are quite demanding.

I guess that to play full quality one has to buy either a $1500/$2000 desktop or a $4000 laptop.
This kind of expense can be expected by gamers wanting to play something like Doom, Tomb Raider, Assassins's Creed, GTA, or any game in whick 3D makes actually sense (because it's the point of the game), not by those just looking for an AVN.

Yeah, I remember that version, I think I still have it, I kept all GOG installers.

And I fully agree. While it's easy to build a lot of houses and maybe some gardens, filing the whole thing with content is a whole different matter.

Just copy / paste the old story? Not gonna happen. ULT will be completely different. Maybe it will have similar character stories, but the progress has to be significantly different.
