v0.45 hotfix 3

EDIT 2: Hey everyone, I just uploaded another very small hotfix for v0.45 - there was a bug introduced with Hotfix 2 that caused the Options menu from the main menu to crash, so I wanted to fix that real quick. I also threw in one other small fix for the BE vines that I didn't catch before. This hotfix isn't nearly as critical as the first two were, but I wanted to get it out real quick before working on getting the v0.45 gallery update out! That's my first major task this week, so the gallery release will happen by the weekend, likely sooner.

-Fixed the Options menu causing the game to crash if selected before loading a game
-Fixed BE vines still not burning correctly, if the player is caught by them before attempting to burn them

As always, you can download this new hotfix using the same link as before; after downloading it, your main menu will read "v0.45.3" in the upper corner, so you can confirm you have the latest version. That's all from me for now, hope you're all enjoying v0.45!


EDIT: Thanks to a bug report from SCP-048 in our Discord server, I was FINALLY able to find a method to consistently recreate the H-scene crash that's been going around - and being able to recreate it easily meant I was able to seemingly solve the damn thing, at long last! The game has been updated once again with that fix as well as two small things related to the CG menu. I'm making this as an edit to the original hotfix post to not clutter our posts, but please do make sure you redownload the game again, using the same link as before like always. The version number in the main menu should now list "v0.45.2" if you have this latest patch. Here's the list of fixes in hotfix 2, enjoy!

-Implemented a fix for H-scenes crashing the game rarely
-Fixed an issue where the player could still input controls in the CG menu even after picking a menu option
-Fixed an issue where CGs would have glitched visuals if you press the Cancel button shortly after selecting a CG, while the menu was fading out

ORIGINAL POST: Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know that I just released a hotfix for v0.45, fixing many of the critical issues and crashes in it.

Here's a full list of changes:

-Added toggle for H-scene xrays in video menu
-Fixed being able to use a buggy version of the slam attack while in water, but before obtaining weighted boots, which would softlock the player
-Fixed an issue where Torguis enemies would crash the game if the player managed to kill them before they activated and started fighting Alicia
-Attempted fix for being able to vault out of water without deactivating water physics with very precise ledge vaults in certain spots
-Fix BE being removable by tapping mbate button
-Fixed an issue where getting into an H-scene after hitting a room transition, but before entering the next room, would cause animation oddities and crashes
-Attempted a fix for crashing after climax for certain H-scenes in the ingame gallery
-Attempted a fix for crashing during H-scenes in gameplay
-Fixed an issue where dashing into a ledge that did not have enough room for Alicia to ledge vault onto would cause collision to behave strangely
-Added a delay to Warped Sentries before they can speak voice lines again, so they aren't constantly yelling
-Fixed an issue where activating a BE H-scene while being pulled by the Wire Shot would cause the Wire Shot sound effect to loop indefinitely
-Fixed an issue where BE vines did not die to fire damage, and would sometimes trigger fire sound effects every frame
-Attempted a fix for an issue where dialogue choice prompts would not accept gamepad inputs
-Fixed issue where triggering a BE H-scene while ledge grabbing caused Alicia's physics to bug out afterwards
-Fixed an issue where underwater mines didn't deal damage to Alicia during certain animations
-Fixed an issue where the player could interact with the door at camp even during animations that should prevent them from doing so

One of the big issues people are running into is a crash during sex scenes (not in the gallery, but during actual gameplay), and it has been EXTREMELY difficult to track down. I still have not figured out how to trigger it consistently, I've had it happen maybe once or twice during my testing but I can't nail down why or when it happens. If you've run into that crash, please give me as much information as you can about it - I attempted a fix that should theoretically prevent it from crashing, but other oddities could still occur, and I want to know exactly why the issue is so common and yet so hard to replicate. I would prefer to be able to fix this issue for real before releasing the standalone gallery update, so that update might end up taking a little longer too.

Anyway, as always, you can download the hotfix by using the same exact download link as before - either the one I sent you via DM, or the v0.45 download link post on here if you're still pledged. You can confirm you have the update by checking the main menu; the new version will read "v0.45.1". Thank you for your patience, hopefully this will make v0.45 a bit more stable and enjoyable!
