the itch.io version is relatively very low in demand
I’m getting the same error as this person https://itch.io/t/2349517/a-bug
on Windows 10.0.19045.5371
If the devs are unwilling to update a game that already bears the risk of not running at all, they should not be taking money for it on itch, plain and simple. Either update or delist and refund. Thanks.
Edit: there is a workaround on Windows 10 https://itch.io/t/1978868/code-error-when-loading-game in an explorer window, goto %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local, and delete the wandersong directory. Apparently what the game first dumps in there is corrupt. Then it will run, but for me it runs poorly, with hitching and dropped frames all over the place, on an AMD Ryzen 5600x3D and an AMD Radeon 6700XT, even when I set my desktop refresh rate to a multiple of 60hz, with VSync on, at 720p.
I still stand by what I said: it is incredibly poor form to accept money for a game that will not run for non-technically minded users.
Further edit: playing in a window has it game perform somewhat better. I’m having trouble keeping rhythm though, which could either be an operator headspace issue or a timing and input latency issue: the other kind of lag. Fortunately the game as of the first overseer song is not timing sensitive for progression, but it’s still uncomfortable to hear.
And I still stand by what I said. The game may be published by Humble, and Humble may be a shell of its former self, but the game is still the creators’ responsibility. Greg, delist this. Or fix it. Please. With a public apology.
