Seriously, try the fix I mentioned. It fixed my game instantly. It might even be worth linking to that comment on the front page as a "just in case you have problems try this".Holy hell downloading that first file in that quote and replacing the game's lib made the Darci animation at the beginning of Ch. 5 go from a slideshow to an actual animation. I hope anyone else who has problems with this goes and looks at this person's solution!The videos seem to use a lot of CPU on decode/playback. Free up more CPU by closing your browser in particular plus anything else that's eating up cycles. Of course if your CPU is shitty enough, like mine, that won't be enough.
You can try a custom built ffmpeg MMX enabled Ren'Pylib/for either Linux or Windows. Caveat is I built it without any of the SDKs. It did have a seg fault with Jessica's poke video (worked 2nd time), but it seemed fine otherwise. I did not replay the entire game with it. YYMV.

Thank you guys, that first link worked and all animations are now smooth. ;p

I appreciate this, but it's not necessary for me. My CPU is more than capable. I was only commenting on RenPy seeming to be generally bad at performing what is, ironically, one of its primary purposes – delivering visual content, whether video or static images.
RenPy is still my preferred platform on which to play, in large part because I use a Mac and if a Mac version of a game isn't available I can build one myself using the SDK. And because it's easy to enable the dev console when needed.

My replay has reached the first Riley scene and … I don't know exactly how I feel about her this time. I played the scene because I'm a sucker for a willing submissive, and my MC is at this point overwhelmed by all the weirdness of time travel and abundant girls all wanting to fuck him, so I can see him going for it with reckless abandon because why the fuck not? And the hotness of fucking her while Scarlett and Alyssa could catch them (like they'd notice the door opening the way they were going at it). But then switching to the cuteness of Alyssa's scene after, well, I'm conflicted. I'm curious to know how taking a different path with Riley would affect things, so maybe I'll go back and change that decision at some point.
One difference to last time (well, other than choosing the shoe over the banana) is I chose to really help her. Last time I was pretending. This could be a big mistake, but something about her makes me think she's genuine, at least in wanting to know the truth of what happened and caring about the MC's father, whatever shadiness there may be in how she's going about it, and whether anyone she's working with can be trusted.

Considering that she gave the principal, who spied on the protagonist and was apparently involved in Skylar's kidnapping, a good beating with a baseball bat, it is at least fair to give her the benefit of a doubt.

Jestur I think I have found more problems with the girls' routes. After deciding not to risk my relationship with Jessica, on leaving the room with Skylar I saw the text saying that we cleaned ourselves up and got dressed. But that should only happen if you risk your relationship, leading to fun times with Skylar. I filed that away to look into later.
Then when she texts you about her mom after you met, she says she thinks you should cancel the planned date. Also only something that was happening if you decide to risk your relationship with Jessica.
I installed the RenPy dev tools to see what's going on.
I found two sets of route stats tracking whether you're on someone's route. E.g., 'jessicaRoute' (currently True) and 'routeStatusJes' (currently "Not on route'). The second is what's showing on the phone. The same pair for Alyssa and Jenny are also "True" and "Not on route".
Skylar's are 'True' and '?'. While the phone uses routeStatusSky, the code is checking skylarRoute for those bits of description and dialogue. Therefore showing me what I would see if I was on her route when it shouldn't.
Presumably one of these variables should be discarded. Tracking essentially the same thing in multiple variables is complicated and can easily lead to this kind of problem. There are ways to design code that will handle it correctly, but that requires coordination through shared methods and not directly updating individual variables. The simpler method is to have only one variable tracking this status.
Because RenPy seems to break saves really easily, I suspect that setting skylarRoute to False in that bedroom conversation will be a problem, but my RenPy knowledge is limited. You'd have to add a new line to the code and I fear that will mean all saves after will be unable to find the correct line on which they were saved. But if you stop using the xRoute vars and only use routeStatusX, you'd probably be fine. Or if you feel you need both, maybe you could replace both with a class and have a method which updates both at the same time. You know more here than I do, so do whatever works and doesn't break saves (unless you have no choice).
I'm nearing the end of episode 3, after which I will be in unfamiliar territory. Looking forward to it!

Thanks for bringing it up. I have a bunch of that fixed already, but you did point out one thing I wasn't aware of. I will check it out. Thanks again.

Not that this would be torture for me, but ...
*This message has been brought to you by "FARL" (Fappers Against Reaction Limits)*Usually I have an huge amount of work, but sometimes I feel lazy and have too much time in my hands. Just saw this on the bus coming from work and I thought I had to do it.Not that this would be torture for me, but ...

The Chapter 1 rework changed Skylar and Krystal to be way less slutty and forward. I knew I remembered things different from the original, and checked to be sure. I like the changes, and the new renders look amazing.
I have a feeling that the mysterious man with the mask is the MC. It just makes the most sense to me.

Hey, can maybe Jackie Gilmour get a few years knocked off her age (61)? I like the chicks in my harem to still be fertile. I figure that if Jackie had a kid when she was 15, then the daughter had Darci at 15 also, and Darci is 18, then Grandma can be 48 and still be capable of getting knocked up! (Frankly, she LOOKS like she's still in her 30s, anyway!)

Considering many of us think the MC has already knocked Jackie up, I think you're being a bit optimistic ... Also, you should have come at Jestur with this question BEFORE he did the chapter 1 rebuild
Reading F95 on a bus - A Bold move, especially when wearing just a trench coat.
F95 needs advertising amongst the ignorant masses ... But I doubt that F95 will get approved for an advertisement on the outside of the bus.
Did you try for the 'accidental' audio 'oops' just to see if any of the ladies nearby might be interested. It's an unusual conversation starter but hey... if it works...

Thanks for another awesome update!
Your game is in my top 10 of all time ... not only because of the story (first place) or the awesome & unique characters (second place) ... it's also because of this insane good & alive looking renders! ...
I played over the years here above a hundred games already (roughly guessed^^), BUT your game is the only one (I remember) to have not gravity defying liquids in glasses & bottles - this is AWESOME!
It freaks me out every time if I see in other games liquids who are always horizontal align to the glass no matter the position the glass is in.
Please, keep up this awesome detailing in your renders

I waited until the 5.0 beta/alpha released here to play the 4.6 public release, (I had already played 4.1) and now I wait for the 5.0 public version. Unfortunately saw a few spoilers, but I'll probably forget them by next Tuesday. Hope there's an official update patch. Otherwise I'll have to play musical servers with Mega.
