Lmao, this reminds me of Batman: Arkham Asylum's DRM on PC. For those that don't remember, they added a sneaky DRM in the game that makes it so that Batman cannot use his glider if you used a pirated copy. You would play the intro normally, get maybe 30 or 40 minutes into the game and then when you hit the part where you need to glide to progress you're basically stuck, Batman's glider will just stop working when you try.

People went online to complain about the bug, and then the Edios devs said this: "The problem you have encountered is a hook in the copy protection, to catch out people who try and download cracked versions of the game for free. It's not a bug in the game's code, it's a bug in your moral code.""
Considering Suicide Squad, I side with the pirates. Then again, this is F95.

Faled to initialize steam: FileNotFoundError("Could not find module 'E:\\CZline\\al\\A Couples Duet\\A_Couples_Duet-0.12.4-pc\\lib\\py3-windows-x86_64\\steam_api64.dll' (or one of its dependencies). Try using the full path with constructor syntax.")

And as you said

I disagree. I love that the game branches out and lets the player take the plot in different directions. I love that choices actually matter, and are actually impactful to the story. This is what a good interactive fiction should be about.
I'm not sure what you're actually disagreeing with, since I did not indicate any dislike for impactful choices. I only said that the impacts of choices are frequently unclear at the time that they are made, and that those choices can close off entire routes and subroutes without the player being aware that this has occurred. A game with this level of choice ambiguity ordinarily gets a walkthrough mod to help sort things out.

it will take some days for a savvy person to crack the code.
Games don't write themselves, if you appreciated the effort that goes into making them, consider supporting the dev from time to time.

Don't worry bros, the game just seemed to quit, for some reason.

Extract this attached file into this game's game dir and it should work.
Version 1 of copy protection defeated

It seems this has nothing to do with the steam error in the log file, and zoyle was mostly correct. Please try placing this into your 'game' folder to solve the issue.
Version 2 of copy protection defeated

Looks like I was completely wrong. People won't wait just a week.


In honor of you trying your best KingB. I will wait the week for the general release.

I won't fault you for trying a Version 3 however I am not sure its worth the effort unless you manage to get a sizable boost of people going to your patreon. Maybe putting your effort into a gallery might be a better idea.
I know the saves breaking/wiping each update is annoying for everyone. There is a way around this even if you have to create new variables retroactively. I can also explain it if that is your reasoning for the new saves each update.

Either way good luck!
