Going to the website on the computer [Heartstrings v0.2.5.1 Public Linux]

It as soon as the MC goes to watch the video on the website it just gets a black screen. I am running the Linux version. So I thought maybe it's spit out errors in the console but it isn't. This is on the evening of Monday day 20. Maybe unity is trying to play the video and failing? Though maybe it's stuck in some kinda loop instead of erroring and moving on. It just keeps playing the computer sounds and black screen.

Hi! Thank you so much for playing.

I'm really sorry you encountered a bug. Yes, as you suspect, a video should play at that point. That bug has been reported to me in the Mac version (which is why I couldn't release a Mac version), but no one reported it in the Linux version, and the tester I have didn't experience any problems.

What resolution and screen mode are you playing in? You can try adjusting those settings and see if that fixes it.

hmm the only options for me are Windowed and Full Screen Windowed. My res is at 1920x1080 @ 60hz . have graphics set at Ultra. Though the Full Screen Windowed setting doesn't stay. After restarting the game it goes back to Windowed.

Developer

Hi!

Do you play in full-screen or windowed mode? Because the UI doesn't work properly in windowed mode (that's something I still need to fix).

The 1920x1080 resolution is correct, because the game works well in a 16:9 aspect ratio.

It shows as fullscreen no borders or anything but the UI doesn't give me Full Screen as an option. Windowed and Full Screen Windowed look the same to me. The option in the settings always resets to Windowed when I restart.

Developer

Hmm, that's strange. To be honest, I don't know what could be going on, I'm sorry, and I don't have a Linux machine to test it on. The tester I sent the build to didn't report that error.

If it won't let you go full screen and you can only play in windowed mode, maybe that's where the problem lies, but I'm not sure. There are many other problems that could be the cause. 馃

Can you see the text but not the videos? 

Everything else in the game worked fine for me except for that video. I ended up though stuck on the route where my MC chooses to not watch the video.

Developer

I asked because if you can read the texts from that scene, I can send you the videos so you can watch them.

In the case where I try to play the video, the game can't proceed past that point, it just stays on a black screen. So unfortunately, that route is effectively blocked for me on Linux.

It's okay, though. I'll probably try the Windows version through Proton at some point to see if the video plays correctly there. I'd like to see how the content changes when the Lust points are higher, since skipping the video lowers the Lust points.

For now, though, I'm going to take a break from it rather than keep troubleshooting. :) Thank you for taking the time to help me debug it and for all the suggestions. I appreciate it.

Developer

You're welcome! I'm really sorry I couldn't help you more, I hope you managed to watch all the scenes in the end.

In the overhaul version I'm working on, you shouldn't have these problems.

Thank you so much for playing! 馃挅
