Viewing post in Subdue game crash bug

Of the mods that you have installed:

randomportrait is a small mod that is used a lot and barely updated, thus unlikely to cause any issues
Constants is a small mostly self contained mod that is used a fair amount and rarely updated by an experienced programmer(me), thus unlikely to cause any issues
bugfix is a large mod that is used a fair amount and updated periodically by me, thus has a low chance to cause any issues
AricsExpansion is a very large mod that is used a fair amount and updated somewhat frequently by a large group of mostly inexperienced programmers(though I help out), thus has a high chance to cause any issues

Thus we can establish the likely culprit and check that mod's topic, where we find: https://itch.io/post/5229111

So far i tried replacing the scripts with the right ones, but the crash still happens; is this going to be fixed on a newer version? I mean, i can still play without subdueing characters during interaction, but still...

Will acting on the file: ---/files/scripts/actions/411subdue.GD help resolve the problem? Just supposing, i'm no expert in this kind of problems...

Perhaps you meant editing the scripts rather than replacing them; there was 3 issues that needed to be fixed just for the sex system to stop crashing, but there are plenty or other errors in the public version of the mod. Thus I recommended a second link that mentions that getting the mod from Github is the best approach at the moment.

There is nothing wrong with 411subdue.gd as the mod never alters that file. The file with the pertinent issues is newsexsystem.gd.

Hey, so far thanks for the support i appreciate it, i tried getting the mod from github but the problem now is different, the sexual interaction now are empty and the interface now look like this.

I do have a backup so i alreadyfixed it, but still i tried all i could do, it seems the subdue bug it's something unwinnable for me. If it can help i noticed that if i can overpower the receiver, it wont crash immediatly, then it crashes as soon as i try another action or two. another thing is that it only crash when the receiver is not willing to have sex.

It appears that you had installation problems. You have to be careful of the folder name when getting the code from GitHub as it will have"-main" on the end. You also cannot merge that code with the existing mod folder as the mod has substantially changed. It is recommended that you un-apply Aric's mod before replacing the mod folder and applying the new folder; I often simply replace and re-apply, though I use the Debug mod.

Your investigations into a month old flawed version of the game is of no use to us, as we have resolved all known critical issues in that area and the mod is mostly stable.

Hey, sorry for not replying the message for so long but just wanted to let you know that i reinstalled the game and the mod(i used the github one) and then tried to subdue and the game didn't crash, thank you so much for the support! I really mean it.

But.... It appears i have found another bug that crashes the game.

This time is different, the problem resides in the new farm system. If i try to assign a farmhand or/and a farm manager and then pass the day the game crash, i also noticed that only with a milk merchant and a milk maid and without the two above, it doesn't crash, but it still is useless because with only these two i can't gain profict from the farm.

Ok, that would probably be something new, though I have my suspicions that the cause is related to switching back and forth between the versions. Using a farmhand and a farm manager on my old save does not produce any errors for me. The fact that it does not occur when the farm manager is not present simply means that when the farm does nothing there is no problem. Several of the mod's data structures have been updated as well as the code for updating those data structures, so I cannot completely discount the possibility that there is bad code.

It's quite possible that simply re-triggering the version update for the save file may fix it. This can be accomplished by editing the save file with any text editor and changing the value after "expansionversion" to 1.5 . Edit: I should also mention that it is recommended that you make a backup of the save file before editing it, as mistakes can be hard to fix.

If that does not fix it, then in order to correctly diagnose the problem, you will need to either:

Install the Debug mod. This will not fix the problem but it changes the behavior of the executable when bugs occur and provides error messages. Posting those error messages should tell me what needs to be fixed.
Share your save file, Discord is an easy place to drop the file for sharing, otherwise you would need a file sharing service.
