Do you have a screenshot? Does it just happen randomly?

I think I might know the issue. What are your PC specs? I think it might be happening for low-end PCs. I am thinking about the best way to fix it.

here's a screenshot:

working with a lower-end pc. it's happened on earlier builds as well. i remember it happening on the first full strip poker game with ashe, but then it wasn't an issue when i went back and replayed. it's happening a lot with this new lisa scene, but sometimes a scene will be a white screen one time, and then it will load the next time i play it. not sure what the reason is. the only part that seems to be consistently white-screening is the "epilogue" scene.

How long are you waiting before reloading? I think this might just be a scene transition, so you might just need to wait a minute for it to load.

Mind giving this version a try and seeing if it fixes it?

worked like a charm. thank you.
Wow that's great to hear :)

So the issue was most likely that you are either running out of RAM or VRAM. This happens if the game loads too many images at once. This scene with Lisa has the most images of any scene in the game, so I think it just pushed it over the edge. The Ashely poker scene has the 2nd most images, so it doesn't surprise me that the issue happened there too.

But when I was investigating this, I found something funny. I didn't realize I was also loading ALL of the wallpapers in the entire game, right when the game launched, and never clearing them out! So no matter which part of the game you were playing, all 198 full high resolution images were loaded for no reason and wasting a lot of RAM & VRAM!

I hacked in a little fix for that by only loading them when you're actually inside of the wallpaper app, and it reduced VRAM usage by 50% and RAM usage by about 25%! Bonus: The game should actually launch just a little bit faster now too.

The only downside is that you may notice the wallpaper app takes a little bit longer to load now. But I think it's a good trade-off and I hope this will also help with some of the crashes that others have had in the past.

Are the tags still up to date? They suggest there's no sex of any kind yet?
And what about planned tags? Nice dev thread ;)

1.) Where does this game save to? I run through sandbox and when I choose the open save location folder option from settings screen it shows me a folder with 0 saves in it. Also after saving multiple including auto saves and closing game there are no saves when I reopen. I understand this is because of the sandbox functions but still have no idea where the save folder is to add it.

2.) Game (v08beta - current version at time of this post) has bugged multiple times after a date where I cant click anything (texts, pictures, activity) on my phone when back in the room. Trying to save and reload does not help
