Title: Minor launch problem (crash)
Post by: nylonphiliac on January 20, 2011, 02:38:59 AM

Hi SexSim and Jak,

Just thought I'd report this minor bug.

Summary: Selecting text in the input boxes on launch (password/username) crashes the game.

Details:

    * What version of Windows you are using? Windows 7, 64-bit (native, not XP virtual)
    * What kind of graphics card you have. NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT
    * What resolution and graphics quality you are running the sim in. Windowed,  1152 x 864 , but see below.
    * As much detail as you can give about the problem, including what you did up to the point where it happened. See below
    * If you get an actual crash, you can send us the log report by going into the "Sex Sim\sexsim_Data" folder and then email us the "output_log.txt" file that you find in there, and let us know in your post that you sent it. Emailed!

How to replicate:

- Go to SexSim folder, launch SexSim.exe
- Choose windowed or full-screen, any resolution
- When the launch screen appears, asking for name and password, click anywhere in one of these boxes
- Press and hold "Shift" and then press "End"
- Some text is selected, but the window closes and SexSim terminates

I have not found any other keys that do this. If you leave the boxes alone or use other methods to replace/edit the values (to enter a new passwd, e.g.), then the game launches normally. I have been using SexSim on this PC with absolutely no problems in "Fantastic" graphics mode with no problems. I have also not changed any input keys.

One odd detail: my OS language is set to UK-EN, although my keyboard has a DE layout. No idea whether that's causing the problem?

I am using dual monitors, as another possibility?

Cheers,


N.

IIRC, "end" is one of the emergency "kill sexsim right now" buttons, for those who are foolhardy/unfortunate enough to run the program somewhere where they might get disapproving interruptions.

This is correct.  The END key is for "instant quit".  It's useful for exiting the sim with no fanfare, for certain situations.  If you need to select all the text in an input box you can use CTRL+A and it will accomplish the same thing that SHIFT+END usually does.

Aaaahhh -- ain't a bug but a feature :=)

And a very logical use of the "End" button I guess!
