v1.1.86

[drojf]

This release improves install error popup appearance and fixes some minor bugs.

Note: I made some major changes to the Windows install loader while updating a library (the first thing you see when you open the .exe on Windows). Please let me know if you have any problems with the Windows install loader.

Installation Instructions

• Please download the installer to your computer, then run it - don't run directly from your browser
• Please read the Higurashi or Umineko wiki sections for more information.

Known Issues

• You may need to refresh the webpage (web GUI) if it does not load or seems to hang.
  • This will happen for MacOS users / Python 2 / Python 3.6 and below using the Chrome web browser (Firefox seems to be OK)
  • This shouldn't happen on Windows builds / Python 3.7 and up as we've applied a fix

Linux: Higurashi with GNOME Desktop/Ubuntu Crashes - CLICK TO EXPAND

GNOME Desktop (the default on Ubuntu) may cause Higurashi Ep.4 and upwards to crash the entire desktop when you start the game.

We've had varying reports - Ubuntu 19.10 with GNOME 3.34.2. seems to work (except for a crash in Tatarigoroshi on first startup). But previously we've had crash reports from anyone using GNOME. This happens even on the base game (without any mods applied).

If you have this issue, a workaround is to install XFCE desktop. You can follow this guide to install XFCE desktop (it can be installed alongside GNOME).

Please make sure you can launch the base game before applying any mods (please don't make any saves on the base game as they are not compatible with the mod).

Troubleshooting

• If you are having installer trouble, or the game does not run properly, follow the Support Checklist to solve your problem

Important Changes

• Fix issue where if couldn't get "installer is latest" information, the whole installer would not to start up, see Checking whether installer is latest shouldn't be critical to installer startup #151 (f0f5f13)

  • Quite a bit of refactoring was needed, hopefully I didn't break anything
• Update hosted-git-info and lodash versions 632aabb 6a7a2ac

Virus Scan Results

Your antivirus software or Windows may incorrectly give an antivirus warning (a false positive). If you're worried, you can check the below link for a VirusTotal Scan of the Windows .exe.

Typically we never get more than a couple false positives across the suite of about 67 different types of antivirus software.
