This update fixes the problems many of you reported after the October updates. Thank you for every report.
Her voice
- No more silence after the greeting: on PCs without the HD voice, she used to say her opening greeting and then nothing. She now speaks with the built-in voice on every PC and uses the HD voice when your graphics card can run it.
- Backup voice: if her AI voice can't run on your PC at all, she now speaks with your Windows system voice instead of staying silent, and tells you so.
- Everything included: songwriting, song and dance learning, photo face sculpting and the HD voice are part of the game again. Nothing extra to download.
Conversations
- Steady reply language: she keeps answering in the language you write in, and short messages like "ok" or "haha" no longer switch it.
- Long messages: pasting a long text no longer leaves her silent. She reads as much as fits and answers.
- If a reply fails or takes unusually long, a short notice now tells you what happened instead of leaving "..." on screen.
- PCs whose processor lacks AVX2 no longer crash when she starts thinking. You get a notice instead.
- Her AI now uses a number of processor threads that suits your PC.
Settings and controls
- New Settings tab: under Graphics quality, pick Automatic, Low, Medium, High or Epic. Lower levels run smoother on mid-range PCs; Automatic chooses for your graphics card.
- Her hands no longer pass through her face during shy or thinking gestures.
- The icons on the right now show their names, and Quick tips point out where things are the first time you play. Show the tips again in Settings brings them back.
- Her outfit stops simulating while she stands still, which keeps the game smoother.
Your saves and settings are untouched. If something still feels off, tell us in the discussions.
