Yeah, at that point all bets are off, it's likely throwing an assert when changing locations (different music).

Try to unzip it to somewhere like c:\tmp or something; windows file extractor sucks balls, and will choke on file paths if they're >230 characters.
As far as I know, modern versions of compression utilities have "longPathAware" element set to "true" in the application manifest, so they shouldn't have these problems when used on up-to-date Windows systems.



XML:
<application xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
    <windowsSettings xmlns:ws2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2016/WindowsSettings">
        <ws2:longPathAware>true</ws2:longPathAware>
    </windowsSettings>
</application>
I'm curious, could this attribute be also set in the Paradise Lust executable manifest to finally get rid of this long path Unity problem?

The problem is that Windows can't handle paths that are longer than 256 characters. So, no matter how you extract it, that will always be a problem (at least until Windows fixes it).

Unfortunately, the .zip support built into Windows has not been updated for a very long time and does not support long file paths.

Paradise Lust works fine with long file paths. It previously came with files 200 characters+ deep in the archive.

Right, and that is why we constantly have bugs in various games, that are fixed by moving the game up to a higher folder level. Okay.
I agree that the software has to support it too; you posted part of one way they can do so. Microsoft's dedication to backwards compatibility (to the point of making developers jump through hoops to go outside old limitations) is a blessing and a curse.

I'm stuck now. Can't raise any girls anymore, most of them are maxed and waiting for me to go further with other girls. I always read about a cave, coconuts and so but have no clue how to trigger this.
Also I can't find the last clue or look for survivors. Left Path is only this bungalow stuff, but no chance to go this way

There was good walkthrough, without it, it's very difficult to see what you are missing. Unfortunately you need to be logged in, and when I created an account, I could NOT use it to log in. So I think you are out of luck. Too bad, it was a nice game.

That's why I asked about it, I don't know how filepaths are handled under the hood of popular game engines like Unity, but for my own small application (not a game) I wrote for my own specific needs it was enough just to enable long path awareness in the application manifest. I don't use fixed string buffer sizes or MAX_PATH Win32 constant in my code, if I did, then it wouldn't probably work.

Of course, Windows prior to Win10 1607 won't recognize long paths even with this feature enabled in manifest, but it at least can mitigate the long path issues on modern Windows versions.

By the way, NTFS itself supports paths up to 32767 characters, if I correctly remember the specifications.

All I know, is that while doing tech support, that is still a very common problem with an easy fix, don't bury your porn 20 folders deep.

Game Tells Me To Become Olga's Lover but i Got her points at 75, what am i doing wrong?
It is not only Olga who is affected, Grace and Mi Sun are not going any further with the latest update. It doesn't work for me anymore, I've already tried a few things. So far only an earlier update version helps.
Install the older update version then the quest will continue.

Unity handles long filenames just fine; it's (amusingly enough) windows' built in extractor that doesn't.

But not to worry, I'm sure the 5GB mandatory update it installed yesterday, rebooting my PC in mid-render of an animation, totally fixed that, and didn't just add a ton of bloating and quasi-malware.

Thank god I don't have windows home, but the pro version, where I choose such moments myself. It used to be better, just group policies, and totally disable updates, and then only do it manually once every few months, when I didn't have anything better to do. But then that shit update 21H2 or so came...
