Game crashing
« on: March 12, 2016, 02:46:17 PM »
The game is crashing after the second time I click the Next Week button.
I save my game when I'm done with a week. I click Next Week and the game crashes (Windows message : Whore Master.exe stopped working). I then have to close the game, relaunch it, load my saved game. Then I can click Next Week (first time after loading the save) and it works. I can then do whatever I want this week, but if I click Next Week again (second time), it crashes again. This is repeating 100% of the time. It did not happened at the begining of the the playthrough, it roughly started when I got a 2nd brothel.

It also happened in a previous playthrough, but it stopped after a while, I don't know why. This time it has been happening for weeks (irl time), and I don't find it really fun  to play that way, relaunching the game after each week. I'm also reluctant to start a new game if I encounter the same problem again.

It happened with 06.02.25, and it's still happening with 06.02.28. I'm using Windows 7.

I wish I had some advice here, but I've not had this issue since months and months ago. When I first came back, there was a bug with matron or torturer that this reminds me off, and the solution I found was taking them off the job for one week, but I honestly don't know, especially since I haven't heard of any one else crashing like this, and haven't myself either. Any other info that you can give? Did you change anything? Have any unusual settings?

I managed to solve the problem, without really being able to completely explain it.

Here is how I found out :

I deleted all the girls in my first brothel : problem still there
Reloaded, deleted all the girls from my 2nd brothel : problem solved
I continued and narrowed it down to 1 girl (security job, Charming, Small Scars, Abnormally Large Boobs), Jessica Lynn
I deleted all her inventory : problem solved
I narrowed it down to 1 item : Rangiku sword (granting the Abnormally Large Boobs Trait).
I left the items on Jessica Lynn and assigned her to an other job : no bug.
I put the sword on a girl with Small Scars, on a security job : no bug.
I put the sword on an other girl with Charming and security job : bug again
I removed the sword (put it in my inventory) and gave Abnormally Large Boobs (with an Amazing Boob Job consumable item) to an other girl with Charming on security job : bug.
So, I thought it was the Charming + Abnormally Large Boobs + Security job combination that caused the bug, but I tried to give the sword to an other girl with Charming on security job and no bug.

So, I solved it, but can't explain exactly what caused it.

That's a really odd bug mate, beyond me. x.x We'll have to ask Joey to see if he know what's up there. It's gotta be something pretty small and un-noticable.

And I haven't even identified the cause of the bug, let alone fixed it. Congratulations to all the game developpers who have to constantly go through all of this !

Attach the savegame that is giving you the bug so I can check it.

I kept that Rangiku Sword, just in case ! Reequipped Jessica Lynn with it.

You'll find her in the 3rd brothel (Sunnydale). Reminder : crashes after the 2nd Next Week, not the first.

Good luck

I have found out how it is crashing now I just need to find the source.
The item is the trigger so for now just remove the item from the girl.

Update:
I have found and fixed the problem.
It was being caused by remembered traits not counting properly when items are equipped/unequipped.

I also fixed a bug in gangs that would rarely cause a crash.

Congratualtions !
