glad we can finally fuck Lucy,waited for this for so long:eek:
And I need to mention how insane visuals are,it's really hard to believe they made it with hs1
The visuals started being great around the time Chapter 4's first update was released, I believe. You can tell the clear difference especially during the flashback scenes of the previous update. It's night and day compared to Chapter 1

Not a good start. Immediate error screen on main menu. Redownloaded the game and the issue remained.

"Exception: Expected an image, but got a general displayable."

Had to delete this line to make it to a working main menu.

if renpy.has_label("splashscreen") and (not _restart) and (not renpy.os.environ.get("RENPY_SKIP_SPLASHSCREEN", None)):
call _splashscreen from _call_splashscreen_1

From 00start.rpy

In the previous patch the game was a mess too, with constant out of memory problems, despite having 64 GB of RAM and 16 GB of VRAM. Had to edit out problematic lines from the scripts as I played. The camera graphic was the main culprit.

AMD GPU, Windows 11, 4k resolution, there is something about my setup this game, and only this game, really doesn't like. Anyone have similar issues?

I played this thru when it was first released and it was absolute fire. I made the perfect character choices based on what I'd done before to define my character and how I wanted people to see me. The problem now is, remembering the choices which seemed perfect. I'm clearing some space for this to play thru the start again.

Can anyone suggest the best setup in relation to the character choices?

There must be something with your setup and/or software creating this hiccup. I have an i7 8700, Win10 and run this gem of a game with internal graphics without the slightest problem.

Have you tried with a different renderer? Hold shift while starting the game and it should show you the Graphics Acceleration menu, pick another renderer and see if it works better.

Every single update these guys do is fuckin' phenomenal. Even though they said this update was only part of a larger whole, I'm quite happy with what we got. My "And this is how Edwin got worse" save was already satisfying enough what with the playtime with Sophia, the plowing of Lucy, and the prodding of Kathleen. I'm so invested in this, I actually felt my heart sink when the big reveal happened, can't wait to see what the exhibition proper will be like.

I had exactly the same errors from the very beginning of the game, and changing the renderer actually solved the problem. For some reason, the game decided to force the GL renderer this time, probably because Ren'Py had been updated.

Btw, the stuttering issues after animation cycles have completely disappeared; they now run at a smooth 60 fps. I thought I was going nuts, but switching to the new Ren'Py version really helped, thanks to TD and GIL!

I tempered my expectations considering we had been told multiple times that this would be a wide update and usually (and by that I mean "for other VNs on this site") wide update usually means "15 minutes of shared content and then a situation where you can pick one of 6 sex scenes, then another 5 minutes of shared content and it's over".

But to be honest this has been one of my favourite updates so far, even if the only slight disappointment also happened to be the thing I was looking forward to the most, ever since a character was introduced.

Warning, some of these are gonna be long and not too interesting. Consider it a stream-of-consciousness.

Thanks, I forgot to try this, and it did help. It had been forcing the GL renderer for some reason.

Also the application seems to be compiled as 64 bit now? Previous patch it was showing as a 32 bit executable, I was really suspicious about this being the cause of some of my issues. Fingers crossed these problems are resolved.
