Releases: 07th-mod/python-patcher
v1.1.69
Installation Instructions
- Please download the installer to your computer, then run it - don't run directly from your browser
- Please read the Higurashi or Umineko wiki sections for more information.
Known Issues
- You may need to refresh the webpage (web GUI) if it does not load or seems to hang.
- This will happen for MacOS users / Python 2 / Python 3.6 and below using the Chrome web browser (Firefox seems to be OK)
- This shouldn't happen on Windows builds / Python 3.7 and up as we've applied a fix
Linux: Higurashi with GNOME Desktop/Ubuntu Crashes - CLICK TO EXPAND
GNOME Desktop (the default on Ubuntu) may cause Higurashi Ep.4 and upwards to crash the entire desktop when you start the game.
We've had varying reports - Ubuntu 19.10 with GNOME 3.34.2. seems to work (except for a crash in Tatarigoroshi on first startup). But previously we've had crash reports from anyone using GNOME. This happens even on the base game (without any mods applied).
If you have this issue, a workaround is to install XFCE desktop. You can follow this guide to install XFCE desktop (it can be installed alongside GNOME).
Please make sure you can launch the base game before applying any mods (please don't make any saves on the base game as they are not compatible with the mod).

Important Changes
Unimportant Changes
- Fix mod option preview and URL printing [ade2faa]
v1.1.55
Please don't use this release - use the next v1.1.56, or previous v1.1.54 release.
Important Changes
- Improve performance when selecting install options, by caching install folder scans [beda9cd]
- Previously, each time a option in the installer was changed, a re-scan of the install folder would be done to update the download preview
- Now any re-scans due to a download preview are cached (but the final "real" install scan is never cached)
- Detect if installer folder not writable [74f15d6]
- See #106 - Previously installer would just try to run anyway, and then fail when it needed to write something to disk
- Fixes for if windows install loader started with custom working directory
- Fix installer working directory when started from the Windows 10 start menu [ca120e9]
- Detect if installer is accidentally run from system32 folder [f26e876]
- See #110 - running the windows launcher from the start menu would start it in the system32 folder, which would cause the install to fail. This should be mitigated by the above two commits.
- Fix Windows Install Launcher allowing multiple instances to run at the same time [ca5108e]
- Fix misleading "corrupted download" message [6e9ddea]
- If download/extraction failed, installer would display "corrupted download" when the cause might be a permissions issue or some other issue - now message prompts you to check the log for the real issue
- Fix issue for some Windows users where the download "querying" step (just after installer starts) would fail by including/using CURL as fallback [b39814e]
- Add PowerShell as fallback for Windows file chooser [e31662e]
- Fix issue where download would get stuck displaying "0B/0B" by updating Aria2 binary [4b16beb]
Unimportant Changes
- Add hardcoded GOG scan paths to hopefully scan for GOG games automatically [5efd459]
- Fix init page counter counting even after init failed [59bbdd2]
- Fix donation status not displaying [a8bb9fe]
Developer Changes
- Suppress most printing on 'validateOnly' installs to avoid confusing log messages [5ec0812]
- Fix makedirs failing when running travis build script locally [bd7d1e9]
- Improve error logging when there is a Unity Version error [ebad389]
- Run same startup tasks in both CLI and UI interfaces to minimize discrepancies in behavior [75191bc]
