No. Apparently both versions, original and compressed, have broken webp headers.

Use this little tool to fix the headers:

Didn´t work.

I hate to give any credence to those tools that jump in a thread and whine about the developer giving up. But this last update...

The first two days had 1181 images. The rest of the week (new update) had a total of 1853 images and one major sex scene. The days are the same. Despite introducing several new women and bringing Tamara into a position for the MC to have sex with, nothing is done. Introduced a whole bunch of new girls on vacation. For what purpose?

One thing we do know, Mircom likes to render dinner scenes.

yeah...this whole update I was like...oh, I guess we're going to dinner again....maybe something will happen this time? Nah. Just gonna eat.

Didn´t work.

Maybe you did something wrong, because it fixed the problem for other people as I have read.

Can someone else confirm if fixing headers with the linked tool solves the "Failed to decode WEBP" problem?

Does anyone knows hot to trigger cuck scene in saturday chapter 14? there are three different scenes in the club, but i cant get the last one

Wait.. I'm at a point where the developer basically forced the cheating path (which was incredibly fun) to close. There's no way around it.
Why on earth would he do that? It was by far my favourite part.

edit: just saw the game remains like that the next days too, so he basically decided to cut that part. I really don't understand this dev.

Its really strange...did anyone figure out how to avoid the talk with Anne which resets the faithfulness stat?
i tried to manipulate the relationship status down to 5 but she still wants to talk....

It seems to be a case of giving in to the unending whining about Anne's character. So many be like "I hate this cheating whore!" and everybody else is going to be "Where did my cheating whore go?" If the angry wife path truly is RIP I don't think that this is going to be a better game for it. Games are better, after all, when there is weight behind your choices.

It does not seem avoidable. Perhaps it's intentional. It seems like a "let's start our relationship fresh with a clean slate" type of thing and could maybe provide more opportunities to get back on the cheating path.

Seems really as u said.....i just thought there is some trigger to avoid the reset and may Anne would go completley rogue in cheating mode...that would be fun to try out.......i just stil dont get the clue why the Dev has introduced in chapter 14 Tamara, Aiden (i think thats the name of the brunette) and Kassandra on such a important way and then completley avoided any interactions with them. Still have to try if there are some hidden triggers for them...

To be honest if i play VN's like this i enjoy to try out every route also that choices and paths i would never do in real life.
That is what makes games so interesting with different paths and TAC is with this regards really a very complex written VN...i confess i used Cheats from Chapter 1-14 Tuesday but just to check and find all hidden scenes and how they get triggered...Thats fun.

This tool takes forever unfortunately. It takes so long to go through all the files. It would probably take 3-4 hours before it finishes. I have an SSD and a fast i7 processor.

You need a new SSD and/or processor, takes roughly 10 minutes.

There are a few parts to this, some of which were mention in a post few pages back, but there are a couple other things:

1) You can't be on the Walker(Anne's boss) path - So you can't choose the "massage" activity at the resort (leaves you with just the delivery).

2) You have to say you're too tired when Anne wants to tell you about the threesome with Tom and Harry she had on the yacht.

3) Have to stay at the bar and watch Anne with Ashley's husband instead of going with Ashley.

Then when you get the club on Saturday night. Anne should be with a random old dude. When the dudes surround Anne wanting to get with her, you can either let him "claim" her and he just fucks her and cucks you, or intervene and it leads to a gangbang.

I'm not as much of a completionist myself but I do like to do at least 2 playthroughs that get different results. Rarely, like is the case with more complex stories like Being A Dik or Intertwined it is worthwhile to do 3. But I agree that if you play completely differently in two different playthroughs and get the same results it can not only damage the replay value but also only provides the illusion of choice rather than a playable game. Many games don't tempt me to replay at all because the story didn't grab me the first time, though.

Thans...i just tried this....great...so far i got the swinger club ending with Anne and Walker, then Anne/Maryanne Threesome, Then without Walker the one where u fuck Ashley with her husband then a redhead while Anne watches.The one u just described was really hidden...i think its worth to replay complete chapter 14 more than one time starting when getting into the plane..

It does indeed seem like a reset of sorts and unavoidable. And even perhaps a bit realistic, even if your Anne is a cheating ho. They are presented at the beginning as a couple that's very much in love, just looking to have fun. So it seems reasonable that even fucks-literally-everything-that-moves-and-bangs-your-father-and-friends-behind-your-back-slut-wife might have a moment where she thinks that things are out of control and maybe they should pull it back, because of the relationship they have(had). Of course my slutty Anne will be able to pull that off for like just a couple days at most before jumping on every dick

I'm hoping that it means Mircom might be returning to the roots of what I think was the most fun parts of the game, when the stakes were much higher. The return of Ryan is a good step, hopefully that means he'll be making more of a return. I also really hope Nicole comes back soon too. A, I just like Nicole a lot (I have thing for girls with short hair like that). B, it adds another "threat" and angle to the relationship, like Ryan and Martin do. Oh yeah, I guess, having Martin return some to add that tension would be good.

While the sex and all of that is really hot, I find it's more enjoyable when there are some stakes like with Ryan, Nicole, Martin, and a few others that have come along. Anne having 4 separate one-off fucks with strangers just on the way to the Starbucks two blocks away isn't as exciting as when there is some sort of connection or tension with the situation.

Edit: I just saw that Mircom had responded to someone's concern about the forced "faithful" in chapter 14. Mircom's response ('...cheating will be back, more than ever!') was also something I was thinking about, but forgot to add into my post: The reset, if done right, can add those stakes and tension I mentioned, because if after that speech, there's cheating, it adds some gravity to the decision. Especially if we get cheating with some of the folks I mentioned like Ryan, Nicole, and Martin.

You can't my friend: I looked at the code and that's a forced sequence, common for all the paths and without any variable required to trigger it.

To be completely honest it's not even a matter of opinions, it's objectively a worse game.
And if the dev really gave up on the whining then it's only his own mistake.

 

[Sadowdark]

Apparently, Anna is tired of fucking everything that moves and needs a rest. Seriously, the fidelity point reset will affect whether we decide to fuck with who again? Anna will still decide, and we will stand like an idiot and watch. Because I don't understand the point of resetting fidelity points.

I can live with some kind of reset but the timing to do that is maybe better at the End of the holiday. It would be an exciting path to avoid the eary Reset by having a <10 relationship status....then let Anne go rouge in cheat mode with Walker and other guys while husband stalks her or get himself in action with all the introduced girls like Tamara or Kassandra etc...The Reset should then happen at the end and not at the beginning of the holiday....
