Hey ! Thanks for the quick reply ! I just tried again, but my inventory is still cleared after the dude tells me to go see the Auxiliary Commander (right outside the inn after the morning sequence, including the beach). Moreover, I still have the "helpful mist" on me; My inventory section is empty and I cannot equip anything because no other options are available. (I can equip an armor in the armor room, and then I have an helpful mist in my inventory but I can't do anything with it)
Edit : I can send you my save file of before and after the dream if needed !
Edit 2 : I can also provide you with debug info maybe ?
Viewing post in [RPG] GROVE: "Dark Places" (v0.308) comments
Sure ! I don't know where I could find useful info on my Grove installation, but it shows up as GROVE v0.308 in the window title, and the game is stored and launched from an external SSD. Filesystem is NTFS on the relevant partition.
As for the operating system, I am playing on an Arch Linux machine (kernel 6.1.12-zen1-1-zen), with KDE Plasma as DE and X11 for graphics. I'm not sure either of what info you would want to have here but I'll gladly give more !
Thanks for taking the time to investigate the issue :)
Edit: I tried multiple in-game paths and they all let my inventory empty (I can still collect items afterwards but they seem to be in a different inventory than the one I had before)
Is there is a "debug" mode where more things are logged or where I could get a log file for you ?
I'm going to test the same save files on windows afterwards. Will update this comment or reply when it's done
So I did the tests on windows. I made three save files on linux:
- Save file 1, made right before going to sleep (before the nightmare)
- Save file 2, made during the night, in the library, right next to the library exit (after having pressed all the buttons)
- Save file 3, made right after going to the beach (so without items)
I ran these saves on Windows with the same game version.
- Starting from save 1, nothing interesting happened. (however my inventory was back as soon as I left the dream; I didn't need to go sip coffee or go to the beach)
- Starting from save 2, I went through the library exit door and got Error: Could not restore bookmark EQUIPSTATE as it doesn't exist and couldn't continue
- Save 3 didn't give me my items back
I hope this helps !
Hey, appreciate the thorough report and the details you’ve provided!
Did you run GROVE via the ‘game’ file? That uses an old runtime that does not properly support the item restoration function unfortunately, so be sure to run the game via the ‘nw’ file instead. If you’re still running into issues, you may have to play it on windows for now. Thanks!
