Please post any issues and or bugs you encounter in the game and how they happened.

Do Post:

  • The game crashed
  • The game broke and I had to force close
  • Typos and grammatical errors
  • Anything you may believe to be an issue, as long as it doesn't fall into the Do Not Post list

Do Not Post:

  • Content you want added (Put these in the Requests discussion)
  • Wanting more content or asking for the next update to be sooner
  • Wanting characters names to be different (Coming in future update)

It seems you have compiled the linux version on Ubuntu 23.10 (Mantic) which already has glibc 2.38.
However, not even Debian Sid yet has it, and running it leaves us with:
./TotalControl.out: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found (required by ./TotalControl.out)

Have you considered building the binary statically?

Developer

Hey, firmware!

We did try, but we had issues building statically for Linux. The Windows version was able to be built statically and thus works fine.

We'll look into that further and have it fixed in the next update, sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for letting us know!

I hope I won't sound rude or demanding, but as I see no reason against it, is releasing the source code to the buyers a possibility?
A tar archive alongside the Linux build, or perhaps, given the very compact size of the game, together with the Linux build?

Developer

Hey, firmware!

Sorry, at the moment we don't have any plans to release the source code. Maybe at a later date however.

Still not fixed as of 0.35. May I offer my help?

Developer

Hey, firmware!

Sure! Your help would be appreciated.

Through testing we were able to fix the issue you encountered however, we couldn't get passed a new issue"__vdso_time: invalid mode for dlopen():Invalid argument"

Thanks in advance for your help.

It strongly suggests that you trying to "Frankenstein" a glibc, and this never works well, if at all.
Try building on a clean install of Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS.

In the end, for closed-source software, the ultimate solution is to figure out making static builds. Sorry for this advise in context of glibc. Bad advise, foolish me.

Developer

Hey, firmware!

Thanks. Building on a clean install sounds like a good idea, hopefully that solves it.

Just downloaded the demo and as I try to go to move to the town center it crashes to the desktop. Happens every time

Developer

Hey, Dagger15!

Sorry to hear that. The demo was just updated to 0.57, and this bug has been patched.

Just booted up the game; the window isn't sized right and neither w or f do anything. I can't see the text at the left. I might be an idiot but some help would be great.

Hey, JackKing676!

Sounds like the game is defaulting to a resolution larger than your monitor. If there is a TC.opt file in your TCWindows/TCLinux folder open it in a text editor and change the first line to the width of your monitor and the second line to the height. If you don't have the file create it and paste this into it.

MONITOR_WIDTH
MONITOR_HEIGHT
32
20
30
0
0
8
8

Changing the first 2 lines to your monitor's width and height.

I've tried messing with the values(obv starting with my monitor resolution) for a good several minutes but it only seems to get worse not better. Sorry for the inconvenience lol

Developer

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the issue, can you take a screenshot?

Also what operating system are you using and what is your monitors resolution?

My resolution is 1366x768 and I'm on Windows


Developer

Hey, sorry for the late reply!

I realized this was actually a bug in the game and not an issue on your end. I just fixed the bug which wasn't correctly updating the resolution on game start.

Please let me know if you still have an issue, and sorry for the inconvenience.

im actually having the same issue on my side as well and im not too sure on how to fix it

Developer

Hey, rileygb123!

Sorry to hear that.

What operating system are you on?

What screen resolution do you have?

How many monitors do you have?

Is the game in fullscreen or windowed mode?

I am on my laptop it's a MSI Raider GE78HX 13VI-079US 17.3" QHD+ 240Hz full screen mode as I've tried to put it into window mode but it doesn't want to 

Developer

How are you trying to put it in window mode?

Are you using -w launch option or changing from fullscreen in the options menu?

Also, does your screen look like the screenshot above?

its not letting me type anything

Developer

Hey, nsumari1000!

What operating system are you using?

Can you see the text that says "Mainmenu>"?

What happens when you hit enter?

(1 edit)

hey after i start the game on windows it says new game and load game and settings but it wont allow me to type anything when i click enter it says it again 

Developer

Sounds like the resolution is off.

What is your monitors resolution?

If it isn't 1920x1080, please open the TC.opt file and change the first line to your monitors width and the the 2nd to your monitors height.

You can also access this by going through settings in game, since it sounds like you can type it's just that your input is being shown off screen. Open the game and type 3 then hit enter, then type 2 and hit enter, then type either 1 or 2 then hit enter. For me 1 is the resolution of both my monitors together and so is incorrect.

Hey I have a bug where wehrever I go teleport or just walking shuts down the game, what do I do?

Developer

Hey, sucros!

Sorry to hear that.

What operating system are you using?

Are you on the full game or the demo?

Does this happen every time you try to move? Like can you leave the bedroom or not?

I just tested the full game both Linux and Windows versions and the demo, in both survival and sandbox mode and I didn't experience this issue. Are you possibly on an older version of the game?

Are you loading from a save or starting a new game?

Im currently using windows 10 home, with the complete version in steam i got out of the bedroom nad talked to a few npcs but when i got to the guild or throne room or any npc location the game just crashes

Developer

Hey sorry. So I discovered this is a bug in the game where a variable was being changed by 2 different parts of the code causing the game to crash.

So when you go to the throne room, you scare the king into fighting you which sets a variable to 0, but at the same time the dialogue of the king yelling at you is supposed to play so that sets the variable to 7. But then the king tries to fight you and when the game sees 7 it just crashes.

Again, sorry about that it should be fixed but I will do a more thorough check tomorrow to hopefully see that I did fix that and didn't introduce more bugs.
