Hi again,

if you experience any bug or a technical problem, please let us know!

compared to the previous version, this one is even less optimized

FPS is perhaps below 5

the previous version used a little over 0.5GB, the current version uses two or more GB

when entering some tags the text input field disappears, but the text in the dialog box does not change and it stays in this state (the program does not freeze completely the sidebar comes out and the background lights continue to fly) - this problem was already in the previous version

Developer

Hello,

first of all, thanks for your reply!

your ingame fps are below 5? Ok, this is not good. And What  GB are you taking about? RAM? Of the CPU or GPU? Can you give me a little bit of information about your hardware specs?

On a 4K resolution I get 60 FPS with a 40% workload on my gtx 3070 graphics card.

What tag for example cuases this bug?


Have a good day,

NH

Yes, estimated less than 5 fps. I was talking about RAM usage. (The GPU in the 3D section almost always reaches 100%, but this was also the case with the previous version and I didn't notice any FPS problems there)

81BG00CPCK this is my hardware (I use a 4K TV connected via HDMI instead of a monitor)
(8GB RAM)

"sissy" - I think every time I try
"humiliation" - randomly once in a while

v0.2.004, unlike v0.2.003, already seems to be optimized well - FPS at first glance seems to be fine again and RAM utilization is again only around 0.5GB ^_^

Unfortunately, the BUG circulating after entering certain TAGs is still present in the game.
I would also like to ask if it would be possible for you to make the game remember my decisions regarding downloading from the internet
after restarting after the occurrence of the BUG the Archive asks whether I want to continue where I left off or whether I want to restart the plot, just because of the BUG I can't choose to continue and when entering the "viewing images" it always asks me whether I allow the mentioned download - it's very annoying )-:

Developer

Hi,

again I have to thank you for your time.

I was able to reproduce the performance issues. They were really bad, exactly as you mentioned. So, I switched back to the old graphics for now. I will run more tests on that upgrade first. It will come. And when it comes, it will need a little more performance than now. But not nearly that much as in v0.2.003.

Also I was able to reproduce that "sissy" issue. It's fixed now, but I'll wait some more days before pushing a new version online. I'm waiting for some other bugs reports of people who said they had similar problems like you. 

Regarding your other word, I did not found any problem. Also I can't reproduce this.. but maybe the mentioned other bugreports will reveal something.

Usually archive does save your decisions and you don't have to tell her over and over. I assume she doesn't in this case because she crashes right after that. Nevertheless this is a bit odd. Because she does remember very she crashed.. hmm.. i'll have a look on that, too.

Have a good day sir,

NH

Good day, I don't seem to have any performance Issue, both my CPU and GPU stay bellow 10%, but after the introduction, after clicking Go Ahead, I get nothing else. She just stays there. The menu is accessible.  Do I need to manually advance in the chapters?  I havent' gotten any prompt: no name, no instruction, etc.  I did a few restart, even deleted the local data folder under my windows user.

Hello,

thanks for your feedback reguarding the performance. I'm glad to read that Archive performs well on your hardware. :)

I'm not a 100% sure, but "Go Ahead" must be the answer option when you return from an interrupted play session. Did you? Does she talks about that it was odd that something shut her down? If yes, then choose the "Please, let's restart." option. You then will enter from the beginning. Down worry, your progress isn't lost then.

Ahh.. and no.. you don't have to pick a chapter by yourself at any time.

Greets,

NH

^^ I'm sorry, it's not my native language..  I try my best to correct the grammars mistakes. Thanks for pointing these out..

NH

I think I had the same issue in the previous version, but when she refers to herself, she calls herself #ArchiveName#| (or Archive_Name#, I'm not sure)    Is there a way I can update that parameter?

Developer (1 edit)

Hello,

this is quite strange. Either archive should replace all of this #variablename# things or none. Is it really the only one that does not get resolved??

Yet I have no quick solution to this. If you feel so, you could edit one of her chapters yourself. Add a variable node where the variable "ArchiveName" becomes modified. Just type in here name.. or any other .. ;)

I changed path to media folder and now I get that there was a problem with loading pictures stored at old locations. It happened with edging to specific thing. Can I somehow refresh or delete references to old files?

Developer

Hi aerothick,

thanks for your feeback. Did you also delete or move to folder / pictures?

I deleted original folder and move pictures to another. My original path was: "\Downloads\ARCHIVE v0.2.034b\ARCHIVE v0.2.034b\xxx" and I changed it to "\Downloads\ARCHIVE v0.2.034b\xxx". I also moved all pictures to new folder before I deleted original.

Developer

Hi again,

ok, as I thought. Yes that's something I'm currently fixing. Archive should of course not try to load old / unavailable pictures. An in addition you should be able to get rid of them. A new version is in progress but it still needs some more testing before I upload it here on itch.io.

What's quite funny is, that you are by far not the first person who copies the pictures into Archives folder. And that's the only location where they're shouldn't be in. Because the programm can't handle this. ;) I really have to fix this or prevent it from happen.

To be honest it makes sense to store pics/vids in folder of Archive. I have porn folder but it's organized differently and it wouldn't work for Archive. Software should check before opening a file if it can even find it at the location stored in database. If that file doesn't exist at the location - just skip this picture or even better - delete reference to it. Even better would be to ask user to point where missing pictures were moved. At the start it should prompt user that there were some pictures/videos that are missing and ask user what to do. Why exactly files shouldn't be in Archive folder?

Developer (1 edit)

That's exactly what I did code.. but forgot to activate. :D

Ok, what's missing is the database clean up. But that's on my list.

The reason for the pictures not being in the programs folder is .. in the end just a bug. Sometimes you see a problem but are stupid enough to not come up with a solution. And over the time you forget about it. That's where this is at. The "problem" is, that while a folder is inside Archive folder structure, it will be categorized as relative path when scanning. This is necessary for the system images, but can of course be ignored or better noted when setting up a media folder. That's all I have to change.. Don't ask me why I haven't came across this fix earlier.. :)

Btw. I you like to exchange more feedback or read about bugs & the development as where we are at feel free to join us on Discord!

Thanks again fpr your feedback!

Is the text bugging out like this normal?

Developer

Hi Moabkilr45,

that looks fancy. But sadly no, it's not a feature. 

We have experienced this bug while coding in our editor, but not in the standalone game. Did you do anything special? Like fast forward, changing settings just before it happens, etc..?

Archive wants to play a game where i need to pick a kink but she doesnt give me options, its just ''what do you choose'' and i dont know what to do now, there arent any options

Developer

Hi,

thanks for reporting the issue. She never did that before. :/
We will look into it and keep you updated!

Thanks, tonight I'll try to play it again if the same thing happens again I'll let you guys know 

this is what appears

updates I tried again and now it let's me choose a kink

Developer

Hi again,
ok cool. We also found the reason why it happend. We changed some values to faster progress through the story. And now you were able to get to this game without unlocking some kinks first. We fixed that for the next update.

Thank you for reporting the bug!

Have a nice day.

no problem here to help this great game, have a good day as well

Hiya. Accessories menu isn't available after it is introduced at the first slot is given. Fixable by changing the variable check to manual. Great work. Hope to see more content soon!
