Just started playing the game. Not far in, but not bad so far.. however...
I can't fight Sergei. I mean, I can fight him, but the game locks up when I get the underdog achievement.
So far to fix this I have. Tried fight manual vs skip. Same result.
I have fought Duncan,no issues.
I have re-downloaded the game completely (Viking files) no change.
I tried to fight him first on Thursday of the first week. I had to skip time to get to 22:00. I read skipping time causing this with achievements sometimes, so. I tried to just move around the map until 22:00 after her board meeting. Same result.
I tried to fight him on Friday since it was after 22:00 when your done with Annabells art class. Same thing.
I do not use any mods. I was using the Incest mod, but on my new download of the game, never used it.
Any ideas? Soon as underdog pops up, its locked up. have to alt-f4

Can you upload your save and your player log from when that happens?
Your log is located at...
C:\Users\{your name}\AppData\LocalLow\Faerin Games\Midnight Sin

Here you go.
I found out, I can scroll text back to the sentence he says before that, but nothing else works.

First thing, did you extract the game to a new folder, or did you overwrite files?
I would also suggest trying to move the game folder out of Downloads (and only have one Midnight Sin folder deep).

No overwriting anything when I did the fresh download.
Ok i'll try a new extract to new folder outside of downloads and let you know what I find

Don't use the following folders to extract the game to:
C:\Program Files
C:\Program Files (x86)
C:\Users
C:\Windows

This will avoid any issues with the game, including but not limited to write protection.

Okay, the first thing I noticed in the log is the path (as in the folder is in triplicate).
G:\Midnight_Sin\Midnight Sin v0.8.1\Midnight Sin v0.8.1
Try using just G:\Midnight Sin v0.8.1
Next, try using 1920x1080 as your resolution. It appears you are using 2560x1440.

Please let me know if the problem persists.

Same result. I don't have time now, but i'm going to try to download from a different site (other than viking) and see what happens.)
I did manage to get the brawler achievement, which caused no issues.

A few things you can try:
  • Disabling V Sync in your Nvidia control panel (should be in "Manage 3D Settings").
  • Make sure the drivers for your video card are up to date.
  • And as a last resort, make sure you have the latest Visual C++ Redistributable runtimes installed. Go and download the all-in-one pack from a mirror site closest to you. Extract all of the files to a temporary folder (which you can delete after installing), then run the included "install_all.bat" file.
  • Go into Control Panel >> "Device Manager" >> "Display adapters". If you have more than one device showing, disable it.
Please let me know if any of those worked for you.

Updated C++ packages. No change.
Updated VSYNC settings in Nvidia panel from Use Application Settings to Off. Fixed it!

Sycho and TheDevian. Thank you. I truly appreciate all the time and help.

I'm probably being a dullard but how do you manage to scroll back text in this. I've not managed to figure it out and occasionally I have double tapped past text so it would be useful to know.

Use the scroll wheel on your mouse to roll back. Though there will be some instances where you won't be able to (such as after an event or the next day).

Aha this might be why I've not experienced it. I'm using a laptop with a trackpad and rarely, if ever, have a mouse connected.

I'm not sure if using a touchpad would work, as we've never tested it before (I don't know if the other guys use laptops to beta test with, but I can ask). I'm checking with Faerin now to see if you need a mouse or not. I'll keep you posted when I hear back.

**Follow-Up**
To scroll on a trackpad, use two fingers to swipe up/down or left/right (most common), or drag a single finger along the right edge or bottom edge for traditional "edge scrolling," depending on your settings and laptop model; you might need to enable these gestures in your system's Touchpad settings for Windows or Mac.
