v1.1.89

[drojf]

This release fixes DPI Scaling on windows, when you use any scaling values other than 100%, 200%, 300% (non-integer scaling values).

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

Explanation of Windows Versions of the Installer

1. 07th-Mod.Installer.Windows.exe - Try this first. Runs the installer in administrator mode.
2. 07th-Mod.Installer.Windows.NoAdmin.exe - Use this if you don't want to run the installer in administrator mode.
3. 07th-Mod.Installer.Windows.SafeMode.exe - If the installer does not start up at all, or you have other problems, try this version of the installer. It uses a text-based interface for the launcher.

Important Changes

• Fix Windows install loader when dpi scaling is non-integer 01bcc3d
  • Due to using rounded (pixel perfect) scaling even when windows requests
    non-integer scaling, at non-integer scaling values the GUI would be
    cut-off, and buttons hitboxes would be offset/scaled
  • for our application non-integer it doesn't really matter,
    everything seems to look fine

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.
