It is on OP but people are to lazy to read it!
View attachment 1808294

Except that it needs to be the download version of the game as it's the almost 7GB full game latest version not some 2GB image pack update.
Instead it's listed as an Extra Webp header fix so this thread will continue to get flooded with I'm getting errors.
And that's why my post needs to be reported so the mods will update the main download version of the game and stop listing it as a webp header fix.

Also, if I understood Mircom correctly it is also some code bug fixes too but I haven't checked yet.

 

[Lord Ashram]

Should i only put webpfix.bat in game folder or the folder it self in game folder Right know i have folder

On me it worked with the tool and the fixes that Lord Ashram had. Folow the steps im sure it will work on you too

Download the correct version of the game here:
https://f95zone.to/threads/the-adventurous-couple-ch-14-full-mircom3d.7192/post-8118823

Then use my WT/Cheat mod.
The mods here have yet to update the main game download mirrors with the correct version of the game.

 

[Lord Ashram]

Thank you! Can you port an android version with the mod?

I still haven't gotten arround to learn how to make Android ports of Ren'Py games, it's also been a while since I've compiled apps for Android so I might be a little rusty, .

 

[Dgunslinger]

What a mess this has become. The story was devolving into something far from the original premise anyway, now the last 2 versions have been having bugs and issues galore as well!.. SMH!

I tried the webp fix script. It ran for a bit, apparently did its thing, but still grey screens with the image name on the top starting the latest update! Hate to see my one time ATF fall so! ugh!

 

[kinqsemq]

uptade only for ep 14 fixed or still same?

I really don't understand the point of introducing Tamara, Kassandra and Aiden. Especially Tamara - on 2 occasions she invited the MC to meet up with her and both times the MC blew her off. I really hope the dev goes back through and adds content for these 3 women.

The only thing that makes sense here is that he wanted to get the release out and had to cut content. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt and would do the same here. If he is motivated to release a decent product, he will come back to fill in these major gaps.

...the dev is still mostly missing the MOST critical conversation that any couple entering any open relationship would have - they would set rules.

This has been a problem since their first discussion when they laid out very general rules. They have had a couple of discussions since then where minor rules were added (i.e. don't screw anyone at work). Despite having those conversations, and the big reset, no rules have been discussed. Anne wants to come clean, clear the bad debts they have taken on. Seems like the most logical place to include the reader in a discussion of their rules. Even better, include the reader in choosing the rules.

Seriously the whole Martin path was just ridiculous. The MC already went through that whole thing with Emma and he dumped her for it...Martin just doesn't fit in this VN due to the back story with the MC and Emma. There is no fucking way this MC would let his dad steal another one of his love interests.

This is my biggest problem with Anne and this game. Martin, and to lesser extents Dre, Ryan, the two idiots on vacation (and apparently Troy in the future), are areas where Anne's behavior is unacceptable on anything but a cheating path.

IF Anne came clean, then she would have told the MC about Martin and Ryan. Yet, if you are on a cheating path, she has another episode with Ryan via video chat. AFTER coming clean. There is no way the MC would allow those relationships to continue. So, assuming that Anne did tell him the truth during that discussion, these relationships would be over. If the reader is on a cheating path, it would be fair to assume that Anne lied to the MC during their "honesty" discussion.

It also seems like the dev went through and tweaked some of the dialogue. Anne is a lot more likable now; at least from a love path perspective.

The only positives I have found from the last update were the attempts to add some additional content (girl-girl), correct some errors, and make Anne a bit more likable. Unfortunately, this broke a lot of the game for most people.

For me, failing to address the rules and leaving open the Martin/Ryan content illustrate the weaknesses of the developer and this VN. I would love to see the rule discussion happen and make it a choice-driven process that allows the user to refine their chosen path. For example, the MC can specify that he wants to hear about all the sex. He can choose to participate or not. They could restrict work partners. Choose cum fetishes (inside, outside, clean-up). All the hard work has been done. The author just has to follow through! And if the reader is not on a cheating path, this would have been the time to clean up all that content.

Agree with pretty much everything. Unless the dev is careful about how he does this 'reset' he could very well end up at the exact same spot before the reset. Fundamentally nothing has changed in their relationship. The same things from before continue to happen and with no consequences. As you and others mentioned, the lack of rules at the start and now during the reset just means things will continue along the same path as before. This was a great chance to show some character development or growth where they can learn from their past experiences and the difficulties of how they deal with what's been done and what they can do moving forward. Basically all they did was admit to each other they haven't always been faithful and agree to a clean slate but with no consequences or nothing established on what they should do to not have history repeat itself.
Similarly with the Martin/Ryan/Dre thing. I agree that those relationships are the most contentious and some of them happening/continuing require an insane amount of porn logic to accept. Not addressing them just gives way for the same thing to continue on without repercussion. This was a good opportunity to add the drama and tension to see how they deal with this rather large obstacle to their relationship but it doesn't get addressed which of course just leaves the door open for things to go on as they have. Perhaps the player could be given the choice of whether or not she comes clean about those relationships and that could be a way to continue on the cheating route or if they come clean they could transition to one of the other routes. Just making the wife's dialogue a little less bitchy and more likeable, while she continues doing the same thing as before, doesn't really move the needle. For example, as you mentioned, the fact that the Ryan thing happens AFTER the discussion is just kind of ridiculous given the 'honest discussion' they supposedly just had.
If the dev wanted to use this reset to try to straighten out the various paths and try to give the wife some 'redemption' (since many find her unlikeable) I think he should have spent more time focusing on the couple's coming clean discussion and the various sources of conflict that would arise from it rather then introduce a bunch of new characters for future updates. If they're going to come clean, go all the way and have them be honest. Who, what, when, where, why, and how. The player can choose the reaction and decide what they will do going forward to avoid this and these choices could set up which path the player goes on. They could be mad and cheat like hell to try to get revenge or hurt the other or they could be understanding and apologetic and agree to strengthen their relationship and agree to some rules. Instead it basically was just
-I cheated
-me too
-ok all's good!
-i love you
-i love you too!
-got a video chat bye

FWIW, the main characters are not based in reality, while Anne is a slut, no argument can be made otherwise, the MC can screw, all of his co-workers, get the bosses slut pregnant, screw all the masseuses, his mother-in-law, flirt with the girls at the local deli, his bosses wife, his ex-GF, his wife's BF, the local girls at the beach, at the gym and more. If you think any wife would let you do her BFF, your Ex and her mom; your wife, MIL and her BFF are all sex dolls.

Personally, I'm hoping for a year or more of Anne and Tony finding more FWB and more of my favorites, which for Anne are Dre, Martin and Phil.

 

[Puma1978]

Dre and Phil are okay and i agree with everything u said. But in case of Martin there should be at least a braku up and game over scenario implemented. Because i cant find a reasonable explanation why MC would allow Anne to fuck Martin but before he broke up with Emma just for the same reason. And the bad thing arund Martin is that its suddenly unavoidable and lead into a forced cuckold scenario instead into a break up or red line discussion. Everything else i am fine with
also with cheating etc..

 

[Sadowdark]

Fidelity points are also badly done. Anna fucks without her husband knowing. She doesn't get non-faithful status, but has faithful status all the time. It is a bit inconsistent. When a husband fucks without Anne's consent, he very quickly gets the status of unfaithfulness.

When was the last time the MC finger banged Anne before bed to tell her who he fucked? Never other then a few times Anne has jerked off MC and told him about her adventures there is the difference. MC goes after any hole he finds and keeps it to himself.

Anne is looking for a cock herself. When he tells Mc he's going to sleep. Husband wakes up, Anna is gone, finds her in a bar when she goes out to have sex with a stranger. Then she comes back, as if nothing had happened, she did not tell her husband. But she still has faithful status

Its not best implementation but there are a lot of scenes u can get only if Anne has Faithfulness:False status. I tried several playthroughs and there are many activities u just miss if u keep Anne on faithfull:True. The thing with Anne is that she is supposed to tell u every night what she did while giving u a handjob. That seems to be the key to keep her faithfullness :true status. To get her faithfullness:False the only way currently i found is to let her cheat on you with your Dad. This is a bit annoying since for MC this was already with his Ex Emma a red line to break up with her...and suddenly with Anne and his dad the dev forces you by script into a obeying cuckold scenario.
But i agree for MC it has not really any consequences and also not different options to approach different scenes if he has true or wrong faithfullness status. There could be more weight implemented.

Yes but thats later in the game...there are already before many cheating paths with Martin (Dad) and other guys
which u will miss until u get the chance with Walker. The earlier cheating scenes i can currently only get with Martin as the starter to turn Anne tu Faithfullness:false. Thats a pity... or i can use a mod...

As far as the game is concerned there aren't really fidelity points. Only points to indicate the affection between the couple. If this number is too high, this closes the "off ramp" of choices that lead to unfaithful status. At least in the case of Anne. In MCs case, no matter how high the affection between the couple is he has the option to make choices that lead to unfaithful status. While these seem more numerous, it might be a case of exposure bias because they are openly presented to us. Most of them are early in the game before the couple have had the substantive conversation where Anne either shuts down communication because relationship points are too low or she asks if she needs to ask him before she has sex with somebody. To my recollection, this is shortly after the critical decision of whether or not to let Martin touch her ass. After this, it is fairly difficult for MC to get unfaithful status no matter who he fucks and Anne pretty much goes buck wild with impunity either way.

It is important also to realize that while we are not privy to Anne's thoughts is it clear that the couple are of a different mind when it comes to their partner sleeping with other people. MC actively wants it, with remarkably few exceptions, and it seems from her behavior Anne is more conflicted by the idea. A few times, she selects his partner because it seems she wants more control of the situation. In essence, she appears to be more worried about losing MC to another woman than her partner is concerned about her falling for someone else. In fact, this eventuality doesn't even occur to him until very late in the game. This leads me to believe that if there ever was an honest discussion of rules for their open marriage MC would present very few rules and Anne's would be more comprehensive, perhaps even unattainable. This may lead to even more people considering Anne unlikable, as this could easily come off as unfair, but in truth it is more unhealthy and leads to more resentment if you aren't honest with your SO regarding what makes you uncomfortable and unhappy.

And my mod is broken, it doesn't show hidden stuff. Chapter fourteen ends very quickly. When Anna goes to bed and her husband says good night, the game does not load any scenes, only dialogues, and the game cannot find any scenes anyway.

maybe we should have full control over Anne?

This is an interesting proposition, as the player is able to make decisions for her on occasion. However, this would defeat the purpose of having a relationship point system in the first place. Make it more for flavor. It would make it more like the game "A Couple's Duet of Love and Lust" where the wife is not, as yet, so reviled as is the case in this thread.

Most of Anna don't like and find Anna very slutty and want a change?
