Changelog

• Fix longstanding "Reading final TIPS sometimes causes game progress reset and game restart" issue. See #26 "Extras menu locking itself after completion" for details.
  • I think this would happen if you read the final tips, without previously unlocking any Steam achievements in that game session (only affects Steam version of game).
  • If you completed the TIPS under this condition, it would cause a soft-crash, which would reset your progress and restart the game (kick you to the startup logo screen). You would also notice the textbox overlaid on the main menu.
• Fix various typos and wrong character name:
  • 5337093
  • cba3680

Changelog

• Properly display sprites/backgrounds when "Hide CGs" option is enabled and a CG is being hidden @orian34
  • Previously, during a CG scene when "Hide CGs" were enabled, you may have seen a black screen, or just whatever was on the screen just before the CG would have been displayed. This change will show what would have been there if the CG was not shown

Engine Changelog (changes made to all chapters)

• [Proton/Wine] Add workaround for movie playback not working by playing .ogv movie file if Proton/Wine detected
• [Linux, Mac] Fix ALT-ENTER not toggling fullscreen on MacOS/Linux
• Fix 'F' key not toggling fullscreen when in a menu
• Detect if windowed resolution wasn't set correctly, if so revert to fullscreen. Mostly for Linux to fix issues where it is difficult to revert the window size or the game cursor position becomes offset to your actual cursor position.
• Fix Config Menu Resolution buttons stuck 'on' if current fullscreen resolution equals the button resolution

Important changes

• Apply 2024 Matsuribayashi Ch.8 Crash Fixes
  • The vanilla Matsuribayashi Ch.8 game received an update at the start of 2024 to fix crashes when loading saves with certain effects active, see here for more details: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1243670/discussions/0/4042609216213464008/?tscn=1704097237
  • This fix just copies those fixes into our mod
  • See here for more details 07th-mod/higurashi-assembly#120
  • SAVE GAME COMPATIBILITY: This DLL is backwards compatible with old saves. However, the old DLL is not forward-compatible with the new one. Basically you won't be able to use old versions of the mod to load any saves you make (I've tested this and after making some 'new' saves, the old game won't start up and will give you a warning message about "unknown save version")

DLL Changes

• Fix 'return to main menu', 'quit', and 'load' not working when a choice is on-screen
  • 07th-mod/higurashi-assembly#113
• Try to fix touchscreen support

Changelog

• Updated arcs 1-9 to make use of roughly 3000 voice lines extracted from Higurashi Origin.
  • Origin is DLC for the Switch/PS4 version of Higurashi that allows you to play through arcs 1-9 in a format more like the original PC version, with the route system removed and some (but not all) censorship reverted.
• Changes come in roughly 3 categories:
  • Some unvoiced lines now have voices.
  • Some low quality PS2 voice lines replaced with higher quality Origin voices.
  • Some places where the mod uses PS3 lines that mostly match the original script have been replaced with new voice lines that 100% match the original script.
• Some of the lines touched here would previously show you the censored or uncensored text based on your Voice Matching Level. Those places tweaked to always use the uncensored voice lines when available.

  • The GIN's BGM / Original BGM option shouldn't be affected (it doesn't use question arcs BGM in the Answer Arcs)
