Yeah, a bit sad about my pc being too old for most games except the rare ones that took optimization seriously. The audio thing is because I have zero audio devices plugged in, just using headphones fixed it. I just found it weird that the game crashes immediately if you don't have sound enabled.

If you open the game without any audio devices plugged in, it boots up straight into the error message "unable to open requested audio format with sdl_mixer.wasapi can't find requested audio endpoint: element not found" followed by a list of all the audio that it couldn't load(all the audio in the game). Essentially game can't run without outputting audio on start. It's also not ok to unplug it afterward, though I don't know if it further crashes the game or just kills the audio.

Reason being I can't even get the visuals to work, it's just a white screen. Might have something to do with my "Intel(R) HD Graphics display driver" crashing and recovering everytime I open the game. I'm admittedly running an old pc so I get it if it's just not compatible, but I'm hoping it's a bug and not a problem of outdated hardware. I know it's actually running since the audio is coming out, and it's a pretty banger theme song but beyond that no inputs or anything does something with noticeable auditory feedback.

Here's to hoping it's only a bug on start up that just needs a refresh rather than my pc being completely unable to render the game. Can't help more with the audio bug, since I can't actually check if it crashes the game or cuts out audio permanently, but it stopping the game from launching at all is a bit much for a nsfw game.

The problem at it's core(pun unintended) was that when, after turning in the "Ancient Beings" quest, I went to put my left over "golem cores" into the item bank the game freaked out. Using a save editor I realized the problem, for some reason my drag and drop was rejected and accepted at the same time(which I thought I mistook as forgetting I had more, but now know better). What this meant is a ghost item in my inventory that shouldn't be there since I should've had zero golem cores but still had the item. I'm guessing since it was 'rejected' it was put back in 'slot 3' but the paradox of it being a ghost item made it go from 'slot 3' in inventory to 'slot 33' in inventory yet still display as 'slot 3'. I just used the save editor to zero out the quantity and slot number of any item with a "maxQuantity 5" since I forgot how much it had (RIP soul pearl drops I was about to sell). I only figured out the 'issue' when I went back into the game and found the golem cores in slot 3 again, but this time with a quantity of "0", (same with the pearls). I just dropped all of them on the floor to despawn. So problem fixed, if a little overkill on my end thanks to being so forgetful.

I forgot to save the index log or whatever error message that popped up, was a bit too panicky that my main profile suddenly couldn't be played anymore haha. Funny enough the item bank was fine since my second profile could log in just ok, but my main was stuck in the warp animation with an error code. Unless it's stored somewhere and I'm just too dumb to find it...anyways it's just my word as it stands right now.

Not going to abuse the fact a save editor worked at all though, this game's more fun via the grind so it'd be pointless to do so especially with not that much content so far, so the bulk of the content is grind. Having a blast so far, I'mma try 'beat' the game with all my profiles later. Really looking forward to the warrior since I 'luckily' got a decent purple drop for it...on my mystic main. My fave part of this game has to be the 'raid' event when you've been farming a zone, only found a couple outside the boss fight, but it's fun trying to find them all.

EDIT: After some further testing, I can all but confirm the source is actually the "Ancient Beings" quest, whether that's the turn in or just having it idk for sure, because it somehow messes with the item count in the inventory. The game breaks if you sell or even drop the golem cores. I'm leaning towards "turn in at all this session" because I distinctly remember storing most of my gems and cores before turning it in, since I wasn't sure if I was going to keep leveling just yet. Luckily the store one sorts itself out when it autocleans and wasn't all that game breaking if you consider not being able to attack for that time to too bad, but dropping(even if it despawns) blocks any teleportation until you relog. Don't feel like testing the limit though, I only found the other bits because I hoped it'd skirt the issue since you always ending up with left over cores.

I really can't complain too much except for adding a couple features, at the title screen it'd be nice if you could type instead of clicking to choose a mode. Another small feature would be to have a failure screen that shows what you missed, and the romanji for it in case you forgot, that way you don't have to go through the chart to remind yourself. If you could add these 2 things I would play this non-stop til I have mastered all difficulties.
