Chasing Sunsets Ch7 Bugfix v0.8a - Updated

Following release, several bugs were discovered, two of them game-breaking.

For those who have already completed Chapter 7,

we encourage you to play through on this updated version from the end of Chapter 6 before our next release

to ensure all variables are set properly.

While none of these were critical to the central plot, they could result in some incorrect dialogue in future chapters.

The patch has been updated to include a few more fixes, but they're not important unless you are on the "never did anything naughty with Mallory path."   While this will probably be the final bugfix before Chapter 8, there will be one more point release that adds some choices to the scene replays.

Fixed:

• Fixed issue on SteamDeck that was causing Save Game screen to break. On-screen keyboard can now be summoned with Steam+X .
• Fixed coding issue that resulted in poor animation performance during the hotel scene
• Pathing issue Fixed: If MC rejected Mallory at end of Ch5, it does not end her path, but Ch7 failed to allow the player to continue a physical relationship with her.
• Two variables were duplicated from Ch6. They are not story-critical for the most part, but a replay is worthwhile to avoid weird dialogue in Ch8 onwards.
• Fixed erroneous reporting in the Chapter Summary about how the MC handled his chat with Jaye when he returned her phone.
• Reverted an error in Chapter 2 where a variable was malformed. (Recording if the player hugged Jaye after she arrived on the yacht)
• Made the trigger for the Erica phone chat in Ch7 more forgiving, and corrected dialogue to accurately reflect MC's behavior up to that point.
• Lowered the love requirement with Mallory to ask Sophie to replicate Bandit from 34 to 31. This value is achievable without pursuing her romantically.
• Corrected numerous spelling errors, typos, and flawed grammar.
• Fixed the missing summary on the Ch4 Jaye 'almost lost at sea ending' (Bad End 1) and now correctly returns the player to the main menu afterwards
• Fixed the missing achievement trigger "Sarah's Secret" in Ch2
• Adjusted Ch7 board room dialogue to not suggest Mallory had slept with MC prior to Ch7 if MC rejected her at the end of Ch5.
• Corrected the Ch7 Rikki text being incorrectly dependent upon the player having satisfied the requirements to replicate Bandit
• Added two Jaye trust points if rejecting the threesome with Mallory in Ch7 if you are on the Jaye Love Path
• Adjusted Tanaka dialogue in the Ch7 kitchen scene if the player took her training, but failed to earn enough respect points to interest her
• Updated Chapter 7 Summary Report to not suggest Lisa is pushing for an intimate relationship if either Jaye or Mallory is in a committed relationship with MC
• Adjusted animation transitions in Ch7 as some players were seeing a flicker of a checkerboard pattern as they dissolved in.

Outstanding issues:

• Some players have reported broken saves.
