If you need to redownload Strive v5.25 to use this mod, want a pre-merged version that is easier to use, or want the 7ish bugfixes that have been added since v0.9.7 was released, check this thread: https://itch.io/t/975848/strive-v525-arics-expansion-v097-pre-merged

Any idea where I can get Strive v5.25 for a 32-bit PC? Any idea if the 32-bit version will work with this mod? The reason I ask is, I've got a 64-bit iMac that can't even run earlier versions of this mod, and a 32-bit Windows 7 PC. That's it. Downloaded pre-merged game and mod from above link onto my 32-bit system, tried to run it and got an error message saying the program is meant for a 64-bit PC, which I don't have.

32-bit windows can run the mod, all of the files for the 64-bit game are the same except for the .exe, which you will need from a semi-recent 32-bit version of the game. If you have a 32-bit version of the game from 0.5.24 to 0.5.25 you can simply copy the .exe into Aric's pre-merged version and it will work.

Macs require special setup to run mods (https://itch.io/t/628179/how-to-make-mods-work-on-mac-osx-without-wine), but so long as you have the OSX version of the game from 0.5.24 to 0.5.25 you should be able run Aric's pre-merged version with this setup.

If you lack one of those copies of the game from 0.5.24 to 0.5.25, then I would recommend googling the terms "strive for power 0.5.25 download" (this approach works for a frightening number of things). I saw a copy at lewdzone, no idea if the links work.

Thank you. Appreciate you responding so quickly. Found a 32-bit version of 0.5.25 (not sure, may be 05.24c?) Moved Arics 0.9.7 to the mods folder, and the game launches now. Thanks. But now I can't start a new game.

Loading an old save is also not an option, since I missed the last few updates of the mod. But when I try to start a new game (after clicking on 'New Game', whether in Story mode or Sandbox mode, I can only progress through the game setup options up to the point where I begin character creation (i.e. the black and white portrait for the PC appears at the bottom of the screen) backward and forward arrows beside character portrait are clickable, but clicking them doesn't do anything; 'Confirm' button is also clickable, but doesn't do anything. When I try to select 'Quick Start' instead of 'Customized Start', this button is clickable, but clicking it does nothing.

Once again, I appreciate your willingness to go back and forth with anonymous noobs like me, even though I know there's nothing really in it for you; but in light of that, I wonder if there isn't some way for me to seek answers to my technical issues without having to bother a real person every time I get stuck? I've seen the changelogs posted on this thread, but I'm wondering if there is perhaps a searchable list of Problems and solutions somewhere, if anybody else has had the above problem? Somewhere you could refer me to? Would Discord be the place to look?

Anyway, thanks again for your continued help.

When you start the 32-bit version that you found, the game version will be displayed in the bottom left of the window. If you found 0.5.24c, then that will be fine as the .exe is the same version of Godot as 0.5.25.

Your problems with starting a new game are most likely identical to this thread https://itch.io/post/2043492. Basically you are missing some critical files, which is causing a cascade of errors; see thread for details.

Currently there is no list of technical issues, but this entire topic is filled with threads that a mostly similar issues. If you had time, then simply reading them all starting at the end would probably find the solution to most problems. But that also would require you to understand some of the concepts behind your problems, which would probably give you a fair chance of having solved them yourself. So I don't know how much good that actually does, besides being tedious.

The Strive Discord is a great place to ask for help for quick answers, but I wouldn't expect to simply find your solutions there anymore than here.
