Linux Build Opens .ink Files But Play Pane Doesn't Load Properly At All (Linux Mint 21.1) #474

Open Zishan-Rahman opened 1 year ago

Zishan-Rahman commented 1 year ago

I'm having this problem on my Linux Mint 21.1 laptop, where Inky starts as it should, with the play pane compiling and all, but when I try to open an existing .ink file, the play pane/compilation stalls and I can't get it to work. The "Rewind a single choice" and "Restart story" buttons stop working as well.

Here's a demonstration of the issue I'm having:

I don't know if this problem persists on other Linux distributions and/or other builds for other OSes.

Please can this get looked into somehow? Cause I'm not really sure what's going wrong here. I hope I'm not missing anything (if I am, please let me know).

Late to the party, but running into the exact same issue on Windows 10 x64. Downloaded the Inky_windows_64.zip file.

The play pane only seems to work in the original Untitled.ink file. If I open any other file, it just enters a never-ending loading time. If someone finds a fix, please let me know

UPD: for anyone struggling with this, I've 'fixed' it by saving my files in the following folder: Inky-win32-x64\resources\app.asar.unpacked\main-process\ink\longer-ink-snippets. I've tested this a bit more, and the play pane seems work as long as the .ink file is in the Inky-win32-x64 folder or its subfolders. However, if it's one level above, the play pane does not load.
