Dead Estate - Bug Reporting (v1.4.3 onward)

[2 Left Thumbs]

I've made a full post announcing this new build. Please read that for full details.

The tl;dr is that Jack has found a new means to export the game, which should dramatically improve overall performance and stability!

I have fully reviewed the previous Bug Reporting thread, and locked it.
PLEASE make sure you are updated to v1.4.3 as it fixes many bugs from that thread! BUT we are expecting it to introduce new bugs. I am starting a new thread from this point, as this has become a significant marker in the development of Dead Estate!

Sorry for the late reply!
I'm playing on Windows 10 - I reinstalled the game clean (to my memory) and even went back and forth between the beta and live version. I tried again after restarting Steam, too, but no luck. I can try finding the settings file and cleaning it out to see if that helps.
Thank you for the advice!

We have now pushed this build live! I am cleaning up this thread and sort of "rebooting" our bug reporting. Please do let us know if you continue to have issues launching the game after this!

Sorry to hear that! It appears to specifically mention the desynchandler in the crash report. That should be helpful for Jack!
In the meantime, have you attempted a clean install of the game? My apologies, I'm about to be away for the weekend so my troubleshooting availability will be nill :(

If it's stuck not working still after that, I would highly recommend hopping into the Milkbar discord for some more immediate support. Fingers crossed we can get this sorted!

If this is the wrong place for this, I do apologize, but with the update today the game will no longer start for me. When I click to play, steam shows it as going and my task manager shows something is active, but nothing else happens aside from my computer's fan picking up the pace like a game is going. Not even a black screen or anything.

Milkbarlads #1 fan achievement wont unlock for me even though I have completed all of the base game original achievements. Maybe the achievement is bugged thinking it needs all current 112 achievements to get it?

I can answer this, the game's currently bugged and needs the new achievements (such as the C-skins)

<sorry if this was already brought up before. My problem was with the toilet npc.>

I was in my fourth loop as boss with 68 health points. After grabbing two of the TP item and going to the toilet room elevator, I bought 2 items from the toilet npc, but it did not return my health to original after buying from it.

I stayed locked in 2 health points. And after leaving, the toilet elevator room spawned in all subsequent floors.

Once I completed the normal run, it gave me the achievement that I already had unlocked before for completing a normal run as Boss, as if was the first time i ever did it.

(besides that, if you grab the item "which-b-gone" the toilet npc is also replaced by two item chests as well. I'm not sure if that is a bug or is working as intended.)

Getting this error in the old set, seconds after the first fake error when picking the key:

EDIT: Completely forgot to mention that this was in the public beta, switched back to the normal branch and the error never happened again

So i did a hittless run with Mumba and 2 curses on (Glass Cannon and Klepto) and I re watched my run and I didn't get hit at all or else I would have died because of glass cannon. Not sure if the curses invalidate the run or something.

so i got another hitless run done and the achievment worked. I didn't do it with curses so maybe that was it?

[FreddyTheMonkey]

I brought this up before so I apologize, but I regretfully say that I keep getting game freezes with alarming frequency. Every other run at least. Not temporary freezes, but the kind that lock the app completely and require the task manager to terminate it.

[BunnyInAHat]

The Old Set.
Picked up the key , dismissed the fake error message (centered now, yaay!) and left the room.
Then the game crashed.

As Fuji when i die and click on the try again it creates a single room without doors and her punches start sounding stupidly loud.
Edit: Beta Branch btw

[Reginald "Reg" Ogron]

I completed "The Magnet" medal for Lydia and completed the game with all three curses on. The achievement didn't fire on Steam. I normally just restart the game when this happens and the achievement shows up(presumably because Steam can tell I have the medal unlocked and flags it as completed). Ok, that didn't work, no problem, I can just Blitz through another Lydia run(Lydia is substantially more fun with all curses on, BTW). The achievement didn't fire again. I noticed a couple of other people mentioning achievement bugs in this thread, are you guys working on a hotfix for some kind of overall problem? If so, will I have to complete a third run as Lydia or will the achievement trigger by itself like with the other times I restarted? Thank you for your time

public beta branch has an unavoidable crash in the old set floor, the moment you take the key and leave the room the game closes and says:

___________________________________________
############################################################################################

for object altFloor3Controller:

gml_Object_altFloor3Controller_Step_0 (line 32)

this was also on a nightmare difficulty run if that changes anything. idk

[Fede]

I second this, the game just crashes when you take the key in the Old Set floor, making the true ending route impossible to do.
In case it matters, I had dead rat with me while playing as Digby with all the curses on, the crash also removed the blessing I had bought a few floors before.
