[Bug Reports II]

[blacktabbygames]

Report your bugs here! Starting a new thread and locking the old one so I don't have to scroll through previously fixed issues.

A couple of common issues and their fixes:

1. My game crashed to desktop. Please try rebooting it and come back if the issue persists.

2. When I try to hover a dialogue option, it highlights three of them at once. Please investigate further and come back if the issue persists.

3. The game crashes when I try to load a file. This seems like a rare interaction error with the Steam Overlay. If you disable the overlay you should be good to continue without any further issues!

i am playing the game on Linux Mint 21.2, whenever i start up the game there is no sound of any kind. running the game inside of a windows VM allows it to work find but in my actual Linux environment there is no sound of any kind, irrespective of settings

We've gotten reports from a few other Linux players about various issues w/ the game (I'm assuming it's because Linux builds/OS can vary so much?) Running the windows exe through a virtual machine seems like the most consistent fix, but here's a thread on GOG of extra steps users have taken there to get things running a little more smoothly.

I seem unable to trigger the "You’re on a path in the woods" achievement

I've made the choice at the end that I won't kill her but I can't let her free. I've taken the blade and sat with the princess after getting back to the cabin and I've exhausted the explore options before committing to resetting everything. It goes back to the start but the achievement doesn't trigger

i think you have to choose an option. had the same "problem". sadly cant remember which option. if i have to guess, try the "proceed to cabin"-option

Just got it, I left it to the last thing to do so I didn't even think to proceed, thanks for that!

I got all 3 choices grayed out, unable to continue (I assume thats no 2 on this thread). I saved the game to ask if there's a fix to it? I had previously chosen the two options in prior routes and used skip so maybe that's why. Regardless it does lock me out of progress (went for adversary - needle)

Every time i think i fix this bug, it finds a way to crawl back into the report feed.

I have some fresh save files and will take a deeper dive later this week. Apologies in the meantime. If you load a slightly earlier save and pick any option that isn't [slay the princess] from that menu, you should be able to progress.

I'm noticing the gamepad doesn't track very well with making choices, especially if there's more than about five or six of them. I will scroll down the choices with the gamepad, but the actual menu doesn't scroll down far enough for me to see choices I've selected. I have to kind of jangle back and forth between the options on the bottom of the screen and then back to the choices for it to "jump" down to the bottom and let me scroll back up properly.

Small issue for an awesome game though.

I've encountered two issues:

On Steam Deck when using the dpad or joystick to navigate the dialogue choices, when the list is long enough to scroll, sometimes the selected item ends up being outside the visible part of the list. I can (carefully) select it using the touchscreen in this case, so an annoyance not a show stopper. Sounds like the same thing Miketopus is talking about above. Otherwise, the game is great on the Steam Deck.

Very minor -- I think I just found a possible typo/grammar error in a Narrator dialogue line:
Capillaries burst and muscle fibers tear as you and the Princess struggle over the reigns of your body, one foot planted firmly on the edge where the floor ends and the nothing begins.
I'm pretty sure "reigns" should be "reins" here.

Hello. First things first is that I really love your game and thank you a lot for making it. It made me want to cry several times.

I'm writing the post because I seem to be unable to get two vessels linked to bringing vessels. To be more precise, the "A Thorny Vessel" achievement and "An Idealized Vessel" one. I do not really understand why they don't appear, even though I have every other one, including things like "Turning Over a New Leaf" and "And they Lived Happily Ever After", and did bring the vessel to the Mound afterward.
Any idea how to fix it or why that could have happened?

I don't know if this is a bug or not but I said I was going to wait forever at the end. I probably would destroy myself at that point but it wasn't an option. When I made that choice the game shut down. I am not sure if it was intentional or it crashed

It's intentional. She has something to say to you when you come back that'll depend on the time you wait before coming back.

Both me and my brother are experiencing the same bug on different Windows computers in single player games. We are suddenly getting stuck in something Like "K Mode" but without hitting the K key. It usually happens to me when I access an inventory, whether it's my dino's or a storage container, it doesn't matter. I try jumping in and out of creative mode and different things but the only things that give me the ability to turn right or left again is either logging out of the game or jumping on to the dino I had been looking into the inventory of.

I think you're posting in the wrong game's forums! This is for Slay the Princess

Please consider adding at least one dinosaur to this game in a future patch.
