I have rebuilt the game with the new version of Ren'Py and uploaded it here:

I have updated it again, fixing the animation bug in combat found by Jaeger. Now it plays correctly, I played for about an hour and didn't encounter any other problems. Please test it if you can so I publish it "live" on the main website

It starts under Linux 64 fine.



I needed to re-register, and I do not have the old saves.



If I start the game after registering, the "register" button is still active; I did not try what happens if I delete my secret info. (Usually you disable the register-button after registering.)



More feedback later.

The register remains if you have registered only the base game but not the expansion, if that's the case is not a bug

As for the old saves depends, saves from 1.5.2 should still be there...!

Expansion? No, I do not have the expansion. Which should explain this.



Saves are from 1.4d. And from the time my system was Linux32.



At least the first two fights agains Roboants (tutorial-fight, training) work as expected.

Good! I played it for a long time on Windows, and never encountered a crash, but I remember the last time I tried I had problems in inventory screens. However Ren'Py was updated (from 6.15 to 6.15.4) since I last tried, so maybe the error was fixed

Which error?



(Something to do with earlier 1.5 versions? When I played, it were 1.4 versions.)

It's giving me more or less the same thing as before, at the same point.



I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Windows-XP-5.1.2600-SP3

Ren'Py 6.15.4.320

Sometimes, if I use an item, the combat round is used up. sometimes not.



At last I found something to report

SerTabris can you send me that savegame (if you have a save just before that bug) ? will send you a PM

During combat, I noticed that that the game freezes momentarily between shots. I didn't notice this issue with the 1.5.2 version.



Edit:



BTW, I encountered these bugs while playing 1.5.2



1) Items sometimes duplicate themselves while swapping equipment.

2) Michelle's subplot ends abruptly after recovering a piece of her pistol. You get the Bloodline pistol without recovering the other two pieces and no experience is given on completion of the quest.



I'm not sure if this has been addressed in 1.5.3.

Was wondering if you installed the game in a different directory? by default it installs in the old one and can overwrite a previous installation causing some weird bugs (because old files are still present). Also if you continued old savegames, that could be the problem too.

For Michelle though is strange, will check that quest

Yes, it was installed in the same directory. I also started a new game to see if the results would be any different, and unfortunately the pausing between shots is still present.

I am not sure what you mean exactly pausing between shots, maybe is that the speed is set to slow ?

Normally, when you hit an opponent, some special effects like an explosion will appear. It works fine on the character's first shot, but every shot after it, it just stays at the first frame of animation. Sorry, if I didn't make myself clear the first time around.

I didn't change that so my guess is some video driver issue maybe. If you press shift+G while playing and choose DirectX the problem is fixed ? (you'd need to update the DirectX video driver probably)

I tried the various settings with shift+G, but nothing seems to rectify the problem. My DirectX driver is up to date as well.

Well I have just replaced that version with one built with the new Ren'Py libraries. I tried here and everything works fine, like before, maybe you can retry now?

I remember that the game during the later stages had some slowdowns, like if you played for XXX hours, grinding a lot, etc.

I tried again. I deleted all saves, uninstalled the previous version, installed the new build. Unfortunately, nothing has changed.

I have no clue honestly, here works like before. On which OS are you ?

I have Windows 7 64-bit.



You mentioned earlier that sometimes bugs can occur because old files are still present. I know that uninstalling doesn't wipe away every piece of data such game saves, achievements, and registration. Is it possible to wipe everything clean? I purchased the deluxe version if it makes any difference.
