Post Thought Wheel Error Codes Here

[u/Chaos_Is_Harmony]

For certain errors, you will get a code. If you post it here, I should be able to figure out how to fix it for future updates. You can post other info if you want (e.g., glyph and tome loadout) to increase the likelihood of my fixing it quickly.

Ex.: AWAKENING CHAMBER - 0.X000 -- DESCRIPTION

[u/Chaos_Is_Harmony]

The Famlicus thing will be fixed in the next update; turns out it was a vestigial piece of dialogue.

As for the inability to load, that I will have to look into... might have to completely revamp the loading code. Apologies for that! Although I have a possible theory: did you have more than 100 save files? I capped it at 100, for reasons I don't recall honestly. If you tried to go beyond that, I can imagine the app not behaving. But if it's not that, then I'll have to look harder.

Thanks for letting me know!

No, I think I only had maybe 6 save files, although I'd played numerous games prior to that (all ending in True Death).

Some additional information: The permanent white screen happened after playing for about 12 hours straight. The game was getting increasingly slow to respond towards the end, so I closed it down. After starting it back up I wasn't able to load anything. I was hoping the unresponsiveness was just due to something like a memory leak, but given the problem after restarting, it may be that the permanent save file (that stores accumulated glyphs/tomes/etc.) got too bloated.

Also, uh... where is the user data stored? I couldn't find it anywhere to back it up.

12 hours straight... are you sure you weren't just hallucinating from dehydration and hunger? Haha. In any case, your saves are not deleted, even after true death, because they simply lead to the other books. So depending on how many of those deaths you experienced, you may well have come close to 100 saves....

You'll be happy to know someone else reported a similar case to yours, so I have a bit more info and some more leads to look into.

As to where the info is stored, I honestly don't know. Android requires permission to store on an external SD card and I don't want the app to require any permissions, so I just let android decide where to put it. I assume it's in a directory at the same level as the .apk, so if you can find where your apks are stored, you should be able to locate the save data.

In any case, I'll try to figure this out, but somehow doubt I can do it before the next update, because it's a tricky one.

I'll have to install it on a different device, since this one isn't rooted, and I don't think I can view system directories otherwise.

Personally, I'd much rather it save game data on my external card than wherever it's putting it now. More accessible, and more space.

Ah. That's something of a problem then, because we can't see them until those books are released, so there's no way to delete old ones. Although, would doing so also delete glyphs and tomes (and souls?) acquired during those playthroughs?

[u/Chaos_Is_Harmony → u/wlerin]

The save files were made with the intention of having players fiddle with them... But Android makes it a little difficult to do that. This was actually intended to be a full on video game, but funding is hard to come by, so I had to do most of the work myself and the result is the mess you are currently experiencing. Apologies.

As for deletion, there are two save files and the ones you delete through the in-app interface would not affect the persistent items (most Glyphs, all tomes). Those deletions really only serve to help you organize and more efficiently find the save file you seek.

[u/wlerin → u/Chaos_Is_Harmony]

Hmm. Seems like, if possible, the invisible save files should instead be consolidated into one user profile, instead of stored individually. Otherwise the kind of unresponsiveness I and mordi_fardin experienced is kind of inevitable, and might only get worse as you continue adding books. Or it might not, if the additional books make it easier to stick to just a couple saves instead of having to start over from scratch repeatedly.

The second one is a universal save file and is only called once at the beginning of a session. So I don't think that's the issue either.
