==============================================================================================
Now then, onto the elephant in the room 258, and its cousin, the blank (white/black) screen issue.
Specifically for update 0.42 we focused on adjusting textures and such to combat this issue, unfortunately it didn't work out for everyone. I have done my own investigations on this issue.
First of all, this issue is directly a GPU related issue. This is also an issue not related to just In-Heat, several other games have unfortunately been hit with this issue. It is also rather difficult to bugfix this issue when nobody on the team experiences this issue ( I tested the game on every system we had, not a SINGLE 258 error).
This issue is a core Unreal Engine issue, caused by some sort of texture or shader setting that is incompatible with certain GPUs (Largely but not limited to laptops).
What does this mean for In-Heat?
Well with version 0.33 working, we can trace down the issue to a couple of things. For example we added in a very cool looking map that uses Unreal Verified Cool effects and shaders, which could lead to this issue. Also Niles Minigame is rather interesting, and could possibly trigger this issue.
Our course of action will be this. Turn every single one of these options off. One by one we will turn them back on. If this does not solve the issue, we will need to go back to build 0.33 and build from there. Rebuilding Misty, the map, and the metagames. Making several testing builds for those who are apart of the discord and have this issue. This will push development back on the new level and character, so please bare with us while we deal with the silliness of Unreal Engine. (Thank god Heartstruck is in Unity)
OTHER STUFF
Misty does have a new animation that will be included with our next public build! Hopefully you guys will enjoy that as much as I did directing it!
If you are experiencing the 258 issue, please do join our discord. Without all of you guys we wouldn't have been able to trace this issue down Discord.gg/monsterbox
Have a nice picture of Cassidy for your time, and have a wonderful day!
Smugs.
(Edit: GOOD NEWS while rebuilding the game from 0.33 we discovered the exact game object that was causing this issue. We should be able to modify it and fix this compatibility error.)

So I got refunded since the 258 error made it so I could not play. However, I am definitely willing to buy this game and try again as new versions and fixes come out. If I find I still have issues though I may stop trying eventually.
Oh! you should have joined us on the discord. there is a fix currently active and downloadable as we speak!
It was just released like just now? I didn't see a 4.3 version a second ago, but it says it was uploaded 8 days ago. This will fix it for sure? Also, it say 4.13 TEST is that a typo?
How do you keep your progress across versions? Also, the error is fixed!
Saves are all stored in the cache, It was a typo on the programmers part
respect to you lads for making shitposts of your own character. dumb question though, but does misty have eyes? i honestly cannot tell.
Misty does have eyes, we do have a separate model though since most of the time you will not see them.
fair enough; i kinda like this.
did u remove the new map i just updated my game odd ?
check and make sure you arent on 0.33
I started with 100k Ticket And the Knock-Knock sounds are mute.
its work! thanks
i can play it now. thank you very much, but when i play animations in the gallery they remain in a white screen
White screen issue fix is up on the list. Likely we will need a clientside fix, since it just doesn't want to open and play a video file
hey monster love the game just wanted to let you know I ran into a bug after the new update. The girls dont knock on the window anymore and are extremely aggresive like I have one door closed through most of the match on day 0 and beyond. I've tried to delete and reinstall but it hasn't changed.
same i also ran into this bug, also their animations are busted when they are by the windows
new update woohoo!!!
Imagine if Markiplier voiced for this game, it almost brings a tear to my eye, lol.
