That makes perfect sense to me, thank you for the explanation

Actually the game will go beyond version version 1 as for how long I can't say, what I can say is it will end before the end of the year sadly

We're honestly not trying to be an ass about it when people mess with the flags or pad other character's stats. We're simply trying to dissuade people from tampering with their save to avoid future issues because, once a bug has been added to a save, it does carry over to the next release and there is no way to undo the damage it's caused. It's those same people who complain the game is "buggy" when they were the ones who initially caused the bugs to begin with.
It's those who blatantly say "Never mind, I edited my save or changed some flags" or "here's how to edit your save" that get under our skin.
If it's one or two flags, we might fix the problem and remind them not to mess with the flags console again (even though there is a warning Faerin included to try to prevent this from happening). But in extreme cases, where someone has changed 20, 30, 50 or over 100 flags, then we're not going to try to fix it (even though technically we can).
Bottom line is, as long as people keep changing flags over and over again, how is that helping people by fixing their mess? It shows them that no matter how many flags they change, we'll just fix it and give their save right back. That's not fair to us who test the games for Faerin every 2 weeks (sometimes twice before a release). If there is a bug, it's either getting fixed prior to it appearing on Patreon on the day of release or depending on the severity of the problem, like a translation bug for instance, it will get fixed in a later release. Other times we'll discover a workaround for that bug and fix saves on an as needed basis. Or just show people how to fix that bug using the flags console.

I use Linux and Wine to play MotH myself and the game doesn't crash for me.
Did you deactivate "Window decoration" and enabled "virtual desktop" in your preferred size in Winecfg?? These two options prevent window freezing and perhaps your "crashes" too.

I didn't, because your recs were not on the troubleshooting guide.I use Linux and Wine to play MotH myself and the game doesn't crash for me.
Did you deactivate "Window decoration" and enabled "virtual desktop" in your preferred size in Winecfg?? These two options prevent window freezing and perhaps your "crashes" too.
But thanks a lot. I will try them later when I play this game again.
edit: just checked my wine config, was not able to find any "window decoration", and the "emulate virtual desktop" is turned off by default

I think your installation guide is outdated. The latest version is v2.0 here is a snapshot from the troubleshoot section of the Installation guide:

Click on the MC's bed and think about your future. Choose Ashley, and you should get that option near the start of the ending cutscene. If you don't, it's because you haven't done Sophia's route. Do that and try again.
Question, I can't see mom's hint shortcut anymore, somehow it disapeared by itself. Even if I check it in the phone it doesn't appear on the screen, is this a bug ?

There is one bug that I have seen pop up in a couple of saves that I've looked at, so it is a possibility. Would you mind posting your save so I can see if that's the case?

Thanks! I'm looking at it now and it's not the same bug that I've ran across. So give me a few minutes and I'll let you know what I've found and give you a fixed save.
EDIT: Ok, I believe larry5168 and I have found the problem and fixed your save accordingly. So now her hints are showing up once again.
Thank you for the bug report!

Thank you for the fast response. Although I tried the save, renamed it and I still have the "bug", I can't see mom's hint box

You're welcome!
Ok, go into the flags console and change the fake_email_level flag from 5 to 6. Then save your game and reload it. Then go up to MC's room and send a fake email.
