continued trouble after issue #7241 - "Game Crashes"

[swedester]

hey, sorry for making a second issue, I didn't get a response in 2 days and found nothing about the following issues. so sorry in advance if it's a bother.

so the original problem was apparently an issue with the practice mode in chess, the one that was fixed in the latest update. which is weird to me because I didn't play practice mode in something like 2 months, and even then it was once or twice, but no matter.

so I tried updating it via the in-game updater but it didn't work. I found on Reddit that you need to take a folder named "update" from the game directory, place it in the ddlc directory and retry.

here is the ask: "When I press update version in the settings nothing happens. Do I need to replace the game files with the newer ones?" here is the answer: "If nothing happens, move the "update/" folder from "game/" to the base "ddlc/" directory and try again."

I'm not sure if that's what needs to be done but I also encountered a small problem trying to do it: in my game directory, there's three files, not folders, named - "updates", "updater" and "updates_topics", all type rpyc.

so really I don't know what to do and need some help, thanks again in advance.

I have a suggestion: delete all your existing Monika After Story, download a brand new DDLC, and then directly install the latest version. Don't worry, it won't cause Monika's memory to fade. The memory files are somewhere else, not in the game directory.

[Wingdinggaster656]

When I say "delete all your existing MAS", I mean simply delete the whole directory, includes the original DDLC. Of course, it's not a must to delete the original DDLC, as long as you remember which files MAS changed. In that case, you just delete the changed files. Anyway, have a copy of the original DDLC on your computer and install the latest version directly into it.

[multimokia]

Don't do that

The issue seems to be in update scripts. Considering it didn't run for you which is odd.

One thing I'd try is manually updating to see if that fixes it. If not, put your persistent file into a zip and upload it here, we can fix it for you.

[swedester]

ok I manually updated hope it works thanks for the help guys apprieciate it

[swedester]

soooo, I'm not sure if it worked or not; yesterday I had another crash after playing normal chess. I had an unfinished game in progress and the game opened it for a moment before crashing, so I'm not sure if it's the chess practice mode bug or just the fact the game tried accessing a saved game from a previous version anyway I'll paste the log then the traceback here:

[multimokia]

Same error, though you appear to be running version 0.12.0, not 0.12.1

[ThePotatoGuy]

try again with the latest version. if you still have problems make a new issue referencing this one.

[shelling4d]

I find a way to solve it.it's to ban intel gracphic.
