Changelog
NOTE: The below list of changes may included changes which have already been made in an earlier release
Script Changes
Merge latest engine fixes (DLL Fixes)
Globals Fixes
- Save globals more often 07th-mod/higurashi-assembly#144
- Save globals every time game is saved (See 07th-mod/higurashi-assembly#136)
- By default, the game saves globals only when you try to quit the game
- If you force close the game, or the game crashes, this can cause globals to be lost, even though you have created a game "save"
- This is probably the cause of some confusing bug reports where various flags were not set, but the user has
progressed past the point where the flag should be set - This was a bigger problem for Steam Deck, as it is very easy to force close the game by powering off the Steam Deck, or exiting the game via the SteamOS menu.
- To alleviate this for the time being, the below also saves globals every time normal or quick saves are created.
Ryukishi 4:3 Mode
- Some fixes for Ryukishi 4:3 Mode (See 07th-mod/higurashi-assembly#143)
- Add various CG scaling options when the screen is 4:3 aspect and 16:9 Console CGs are displayed
- Ensure movies playback with 16:9 aspect ratio
Misc Fixes
- Fix F1 and F3 shortcuts
- Previously, F1 key was meant to toggle graphics presets, but it actually toggled ADV mode. Now it toggles graphics presets.
- Previously, F3 toggled the effect level (which does nothing as the mod never uses it). Now it toggles the text window mode between ADV/NVL/Original (like text at bottom of screen, text overlay screen with NVL background, and text overlay screen with original window)
- Add F10 menu to toggle choice mode (NOTE: Most chapters don't have choices in which case this has no effect)
- Fix/Rename "Show/Hide CGs" option to "Console CGs", and ensure this only affects Console CGs and not other CGs in the game
File Writing Improvements
- Try to write save files more atomically
- Significantly reduce save thumbnail size
- Now saved as .jpg files with lower resolution
- This can significantly reduce save cloud sync times

Changelog
- Properly display sprites/backgrounds when "Hide CGs" option is enabled and a CG is being hidden @orian34
- Previously, during a CG scene when "Hide CGs" were enabled, you may have seen a black screen, or just whatever was on the screen just before the CG would have been displayed. This change will show what would have been there if the CG was not shown.
Engine Changelog (changes made to all chapters)
- [Proton/Wine] Add workaround for movie playback not working by playing
.ogvmovie file if Proton/Wine detected - [Linux, Mac] Fix ALT-ENTER not toggling fullscreen on MacOS/Linux
- Fix 'F' key not toggling fullscreen when in a menu
- Detect if windowed resolution wasn't set correctly, if so revert to fullscreen. Mostly for Linux to fix issues where it is difficult to revert the window size or the game cursor position becomes offset to your actual cursor position.
- Fix Config Menu Resolution buttons stuck 'on' if current fullscreen resolution equals the button resolution

Changelog
- Updated arcs 1-9 to make use of roughly 3000 voice lines extracted from Higurashi Origin.
- Origin is DLC for the Switch/PS4 version of Higurashi that allows you to play through arcs 1-9 in a format more like the original PC version, with the route system removed and some (but not all) censorship reverted.
- Changes come in roughly 3 categories:
- Some unvoiced lines now have voices.
- Some low quality PS2 voice lines replaced with higher quality Origin voices.
- Some places where the mod uses PS3 lines that mostly match the original script have been replaced with new voice lines that 100% match the original script.
- Some of the lines touched here would previously show you the censored or uncensored text based on your Voice Matching Level. Those places tweaked to always use the uncensored voice lines when available.
