on v0.8p. Computer still freezes after a couple minutes in the Loading screen, but I think the freeze might be shorter than before, at least for the office. (it probably doesn't help that the game's filesize is enormous, maybe there are files that could/should be compressed and aren't? it starts up quickly enough, and I don't remember the framerate being much of an issue. why does it take so long to load? I'm on Low graphics)

btw the office is the farthest I've gotten so far in this version because clicking on any npc halts the game. it's not frozen, but there's a rotating hourglass in the corner and I can't do anything but zoom and lean. I can't even get to a menu with Escape.

okay, suddenly realized that that hourglass is just there as you're walking around the office forever. a bit unnerving. pausing the game also pauses the hourglass, which is even weirder.

cubicle computer menu seems to work, at least, altho I didn't really mess with it. don't remember enough to be sure whether its UI has changed.

finally got to the elevator and tried loading into a level.

I clicked the button to start the level at 12:03.

at 12:10, I gave up and hit Alt-F4. (and then a couple minutes later hit ctrl-alt-del, and was still staring at a frozen loading screen for a few minutes after that, but thankfully this isn't the third itch.io game to make me resort to holding down the power button)

load times didn't get better. they got worse. (also NEW bugs showed up)

lmao

I started poking around in the game's data folder (for god knows what reason bc I do not know what I'm doing and def could've hard-crashed my computer), made a new folder and moved the two biggest "shared assets" files into it (the two biggest files are like an entire gigabyte put together), and ran the game as if this stupid idea would magically pay off.

(first coupla times I did this it just gave me a white screen, but alt-f4 closed it with no fuss so I was feeling cocky)

ig those are where all the textures are cuz the office loaded in quick as you please with no textures 'XD had to quit immediately and put everything back where it was. I for sure couldn't make a first-person game, even just noclipping (funnily enough) freaks me out too much

What are your PC specs?

...my specs are probably pathetic, tbph, but it does run *most* itch games without this issue. ...usually the framerate is just ass.

uhhh HP notebook, amd radeon r4 graphics, 4gb ram ("3.45 usable" wevertf that means), 64bit OS. ...I do badly need a new computer but I'm unhirable 'XD anyway hopefully some of those words are the useful ones
