Problems With The Latest Update

[Mme Sparklecakes XVII]

That's normal. There's a way over to that ledge. In fact...

(Worthless bug report while I'm here, the 'is that sobbing?' box pops up even if Andrew's following you)

Dude is really emotional okay???

I got a blackscreen this morning while tabbing back to the game, and I'm pretty sure talking to karkat while he's following you allows you to glitch the fuck out of him and even crash the tab, at least in one of the latest secret versions yesterday.

New patch fixes the karkat double follow talk bug: http://cg.scs.carleton.ca/~abeinges/apatchy/

Different page to circumvent caching based bugs. Also renamed the walkable area images to REALLY get caching.

Despite this, I still can't get Meenah to move in Chrome. I tried clearing my cache, it didn't help.

Fuck, don't mind me, turns out I suck at computers. I cleared my cache properly, it works perfectly now.

Using Chrome 22.0.1229.26 beta on OS X 10.8.1. Last night and the night before the update worked fine, except all music and sound effects would disappear after a while and not come back, even after moving to new areas.

This evening I find I cannot move Meenah outside her front door. She makes the walking animation and faces whatever direction I press, but she does not actually move around the map. I have not left it running long enough to see if the sound still cuts out.

Same report from me, on the latest mac chromium. Just to have a unique report I tried it in Safari too, and loading fails at 91%. It was working fine in Safari, too.

GUYS I POSTED A NEW THREAD THAT I HAVE BETTER CONTROL OVER. PLEASE GO THERE!

Funnily enough, when I first played the game, minutes after it was released, it worked absolutely fine (I use Google Chrome), with the one exception of not being able to get into the second room - but refreshing a few times fixed that, and was no doubt caused by the high traffic that day. When I tried to play after one of the patches was released (both? I'm not sure), however, Meenah was stuck in the first frame.

Clearing my cache seems to have fixed the issue, so it's not a problem, but I found it amusing that I only had problems with that bug after the patch.

Protip:
I use an Ipad to read, so when I get to a flash, I have to open youtube.

Works every time.

[Amarits]

Wait, how do you open a flash in youtube. Do you mean that you're opening that actual flash or are you just searching for a version of the flash that someone else has uploaded to youtube?

I thought the game might work on my ipad since it's html5, but it just says 91% loaded and hangs out there. I figured the comic's not really made to be read on the ipad though, so I didn't worry about it.

Okay this thread definitely needs to be locked now.

Hello.

Didn't get to read entire thread, but pretty sure it wasn't mentioned nor fixed, so hopefully following is in correct place.
As is noted currently IE9 won't play intro. Reason is that

window.document.getElementById("movie" + params[0]);

is mangling name of element by appending params. (Creates "movieplayMovie" but correct is only movie)
There is another problem. For some reason Flash doesn't define CurrentFrame nor TotalFrame() in ActiveX object, which causes futher failures in script notably failure to end intro. (Also there was missing object like "this.movie.object.TotalFrames" )

I spotted some futher areas for improvement, but those don't appear to be critical.

I don't think this has be mentioned yet, but sorry if I missed it.
After being Kankri and then going to talk to Meenah, I went over, as Meenah, to talk to Karkat. For some reason I then decided that I wanted to be Latula, who was standing right there. When I became Latula, both Kankri and Karkat snapped back to their original positions, which wouldn't have been a problem if I hadn't been standing in Kankri's spot. Kankri and Meenah were then locked together, and I could be any of the three of them, but neither Kankri nor Meenah could move.
I just cleared my cache and tried it with the latest version, and this still happens.

Guys, I realize you were linked here by Hussie but please read the post where the Ganktron says to go to a different thread.
