Katawa Shoujo Forums

When the black starts to swirl it suddenly crashes! Why? I tried redownloading a few times but still nothing.

I am having the same issue, except I use the Linux version! Thought I was all alone until I saw this post. Really want to enjoy this game but it won't work at all for me!

Sorry for the double post. Here is a log from the terminal if it'll help!

Also, it IS running off an external drive, but the same issue occurs even when it is on the hard drive of the computer.

EDIT: So it looks like the issue goes away if I virtually increase my resolution so the 'scale set to:' message disappears. Unsure how to do this in Windows, however.
