Hi Joshua,

Unfortunately your current build does not seem to work for me. I get an animated Unity logo, then end on your title menu. Nothing happens when I click any button (not even a click sound) and  neither do the arrow/WASD keys or enter work. On the other hand the music is still playing, and ESC closes the game. So if the buttons don't make noises, this might be a graphical freeze-frame?

I'm using Windows 10 with AMD graphics. I tried compatibility mode all the way down to Vista (XP is apparently not available any longer, well done Microsoft ~,~). Other Unity games work on this setup, I use it to develop them myself.

Best regards,

Sven

Hi Sven,

Thanks for trying out the game! I have two ideas for what might be causing the issue.

1) During the first second or two of the title screen loading, the input keys are disabled for the player. I put this in after playtesting showed some players mashing buttons at the Game Over Screen. The button presses would go from the Game Over screen to the Title Screen and then immediately start a new game. This would overwrite the player's autosave file. This isn't needed at the start of the game, though, and I will make some adjustments.

2) It's an unknown bug :) If it's not the delay issue above, I have no idea why it's doing that. I keep debug logs with each game in the CaravanaDebugLog folder next to the .exe file. I'd appreciate it if you could email me the log file 'CaravanaDebugLog0.log' if this is the case.


Cheers,
Josh

I looked at the log and this is the start of it : 

[Screens.ScreenManager]: Adding screen Title Screen
[Screens.ScreenManager]: Screens: [Title Screen: Active]
[PlayerModel]: Initializing PlayerModel
[PlayerModel]: Awake, seed is 1690126827
*******************************************************

The "Unhandled Exception"  then repeats what seems like every frame. Nothing else, just a super bloated file with the same error message over and over.

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for.

Alright, I figured out the issue. The exception was occurring because there was no gamepad plugged in. I've corrected this mistake and you shouldn't run into that problem anymore.
