[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!

Something isn't installing right, then, but verifying should reacquire whatever files aren't working. These error messages seem to imply that the necessary python libraries aren't being installed properly.

This is a hacky fix, but what happens if you verify, then uninstall, and then do a fresh reinstall?

Hey, When i open this game on shared device with family sharing with my Wife i get all of her achievements. I had to remove them manually with an achievement manager, and currently i see no way preventing it without deleting her save.

This bug is indeed very annoying, the achievements pop up the moment u open the game even with my saves transferred to another place, so it doesn't have any saves or saved progress on anothet account from family sharing, but the achievements still do pop up

This is unfortunately a side-effect of how our engine structures its saves. On top of local saves in your install directory, Ren'py automatically makes a separate save folder, including persistent data, in your library directory.

This means that you don't lose saves if you have to uninstall the game. I think you can probably get around the achievement issue if your wife uses a second user account on your machine.

[Artemis of Dust]

In Chapter II The Prisoner, it seems possible to get the "You've been here before" exchange twice in a row. First by asking "I've been here before. Am I the only one who remembers that?" then by asking "What would you have me do?", and then lastly "I'm not giving you a weapon". For some reason this triggers the entire exchange about having been here before multiple times. Unsure if this is triggered by other sequences, but this is one I was able to find.

Shoot over a DM — would like to send you a code to redeem for GOG to see if this is a Steam issue on your end.

Have a similiar issue like @Carnabrin. I tried reinstalling, open as admin, verifying files, turning off all background programs and disabling steam overlay, but i still get a traceback textfile after a few minutes, sometimes seconds and sometimes immediately after starting. The last traceback (they are always different) was this:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

This is super weird. Has the game been like this since day 1, or is this a recent issue? When you verify your installation, does it say files are missing?

It seems to be caused by the game trying to autoload saves, the error happens when you delete them, close the game and come back.

[Corinthar]

bit of a pathing/continuity thing maybe? in chapter three (the arms race/mutually assured destruction OR no way out/the empty cup), after you empty the voices + the narrator from your head and then approach the mirror, the dialogue will first say:

"silence as you reach towards the glass. it's time for you to see what's in it."

and then:
"silence as you reach forward. they're gone once again. the mirror always makes them leave. but you need to see what's in it."

which i think might be a leftover from a previous fix? (not sure if this is actually a bug but i figured it was the best place to put it)

This is a different issue.

The saves one looks like
File "Slay the Princess/renpy/savelocation.py", line 469, in load
return l.load(slotname) # type: ignore
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'load'

And indeed it is a bug. In fact the type checker here expicitly made to ignore the possible error. Just poor coding practice, instead of handling the case properly when the value is None.

As a workaround for regular users, I found that such manipulation works:
1. Delete "<your game library path>/Slay the Princess/game/saves" directory. Don't worry, this is not the real dir where the game store saves. (That's why reinstalling the games does not work, save files are not being wiped with it.) It is a copy for Steam Cloud sync. Presumably, disable it for now too, just in case.
2. Go to "%appdata%\RenPy\SlaythePrincess-<numbers>" on Windows, "~/.renpy/SlaythePrincess-<numbers>" on Linux etc.
3. Move or rename "persistent" file.
4. Launch the game (it should work at this point) and exit.
5. Revert back your old "persistent" file instead of a fresh one created.

Note: instead of steps 3-4-5 you can simply delete the whole directory, if you don't care about losing the progress.

Hello! I've been playing this game since Oct 29th. I found the thorn route once early on and I can't find it again. I've spent dozens of hours playing and this is one I just can't seem to get again. I remember there was a potential bug fix with this route. Is there still a bug? (If I am just missing something please don't tell me how to get there I wanna find it again on my own)

Thorn isn't bugged, it's just a little tricky to find!

BUG/UI ISSUE:

Option selection during dialogue does not center on the current highlighted option for controller mode.

When scrolling the dialogue options with a controller, either d-pad or sticks, the highlighted options scroll is not centered for the scroll bar. In some cases, this leads to the highlighted option to go further than the displayed options on the scroll bar.
