1. 0.5.3.3a
2. Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (xDark)
3. Crash upon launching
4. Launching the program (Itch app)
I haven't been playing for a few version, so I can't tell how far back this bug started at. I was able to play it before the picture changed though, and maybe even a bit after the picture changed. I tried the exe, and the game crashes, but that's from the itch installation, i can try manual installation.
I'm not too sure what the problem could be, however.. Some of my other programs seem to be doing the same thing. [Sakura Fantasy, for example, which is installed on the same external hard drive]
Well, its not sound, least as far as I could tell since I removed my sounds completely. As for weird installed softwares, i'm not sure abotu those either, can't see anything in the list that i don't have an idea what it is.
I also scanned my hardrive for bad sectors, and even attempted to run it from the desktop with a fresh itch.io download.
I still don't understand what the issue is, or even why it seems to affect a lot of my visual novels.
