Thank you. The not riding with Silas is new to this update. Everything seems like it should be right, but I will keep investigating. I've been getting a few comments saying people can't find day 2 as well, so something might be missing. A couple more questions:
With the 'invite' text, do you have the options pop up to accept his offer or refuse?
When it seems to skip, does it just go from - "Ah, I guess it was a little too hopeful to think he'd wait around here for me to finish registering." to "My new dorm wasn't too far from where we started and Qrom stopped in front of a dark wooden door with a bronze plate that had the number '15' etched into it."?
Also, if you are able to get some screenshots of the portion where it's messing up that can help as well.
Sorry for the error and thank you very much for letting me know about it and looking further into it. :)
1. It's possible people are confusing Day 2 with a second day at the Academy. (Day 3 (Perhaps not- I haven't had such an issue.))
2. The options do not appear. He makes the suggestion, and that's the end of it.
3. The three lines prior are "Or you could...", "Well that's very forward.", and "That just seems to be his personality..." And then the following line is "My new dorm wasn't..."
~Second of the three aforementioned messages; I didn't get a screenshot.~
~As you can see, it just sort of skips like this is the line that naturally follows.~
4. Another thing, I know that in past versions, Qrom was one of the contacts. Has this been removed for the current version?
5. Don't worry about it. Just as any new game, there will be errors, whether they're something minor like a failure to load a background, or something major like deleted saves. I took this into account, just as most other players did, when they downloaded the game.
6. I do apologize for not submitting the error through the correct forms (Didn't see the text in the game description until just now.)
7. Suggestion. Perhaps add the option to decline Silas' offer to hitch a ride to the academy, in addition to the charisma check, so that players don't have to only follow the current guidelines, which you kind of have to accidentally stumble on. Take me for example, I wouldn't have known about it unless I read through the comments on this page. And, considering this is a gay, furry VN, the majority of people will choose either "Love", "A Lover", or "A friend" for their first route, and some won't play a second until the game is completed, if ever. As I said, just a suggestion. If it stays as it currently is, it will be like a secret route that's not super secret.
Thank you so much! This helps a lot. I will keep looking into it to see if I can replicate/locate exactly where the error in the code is. As for the day 2, that's what I was thinking as well, but I'm still always a little worried when someone says they may have had that big of an error lol.
Also, to answer 4. Yes, after some changes I forgot to add the correct flag needed to show his contact after you meet him. Since the screen doesn't have too huge of a role just yet I'm not too worried about rushing out a fix for it until I have more fixes with it or a full update. For instance, if there is a decent chunk of story that should be in there and isn't that's something I'll need to make a patch for as soon as I can.
Also, no worries about not submitting through the form. The majority of reports I get are through the comments and it's a bit better that way anyway since everyone can see them and either add to it or just be warned about it.
I believe I found the issue. At that point when you reach the dialog, if you pull up your PAL screen and look at your charisma it should be less than 16.
If it is, then that explains why you didn't get the choice to accept the offer or not. If it's 16 or higher and you're still getting it... then I may go bald pulling out my hair for this one lol. Also, as it so happens, that's the one particular outcome of that whole branch that I indeed did neglect to put the additional text between messaging him and waiting for him to finish to get you to your room. Based on where it is in the code, that's been an issue since the original release and never got caught 🤣. Or at the very least, didn't get mentioned to me.
The only thing you're missing with this section you hit is:
"I put my PAL in my pocket and then slid to the floor with my back against the wall and waited for Qrom to finish."
"About twenty minutes later Qrom came into view at the end of the hallway."
Qrom in his casual clothes
q "Sorry to keep you waitin'. Let's get you settled into yer new place."
q "You actually lucked out. There was only one dorm left with a vacancy and you won't even have a roommate."
q "Follow me and I'll take you there."
"I got up from the floor and followed him."
So as it is, if you do check and your charisma is lower than 16 then I would just consider this a "typo" error which will no longer be there next update or added to a patch if there are any game breaking errors.
