Hi! I cant load this room if im in a team. So when i was hosting, my partners game crashed, and then i could load in to the lobby. This happened again. Then they tried to host, and both our games crashed... very sad! and we noted the long loading time...,, but that just made it hard to try a forth time to figure out why it didnt work

I am hopefull and we might try later.... Let me know if you have any tips or ideas

Hi @iris. Thanks for trying to play this room. And thanks for your patience with the longer loading time. I really hope you’ll be able to play it without the game crashing. One thing that could be worth it checking is that all players have the room installed before trying to host. And also make sure if a players gets a “reconnecting” message that no player shuts the game down, but that all players wait until the game is up and running again. It should only happen maximum one or two times if at all. Hope you have success playing the room together. :)

Yeah we are definitly going to try again at somepoint! i bet the loading time makes it worth it, no doubt.
But yeah we both had the room installed the correct way, and neither closed the game, it was kept up whilst loading...
we are going to try again! i just wanted to let you know in case it is something you had heard before, or if you know that it has worked for others in multiplayer (your other games are singleplayer only and this one is both, so idk if that makes it wiggly),
thanks for the tips tho!

Thanks for writing again, @iris. :) Happy to know you are going to give it another try at some point. :) Please let me know if you'll be successful playing co-op this time. :) The size of this room is rather huge, and it's crammed with custom models and special effects, which I think is causing the loading time to be longer than usual. But once loaded, the performance is very smooth. And it also is in multiplayer mode. I had some testing with two different players after you wrote me to see if we would also experience the game crashing, but we didn't. :) So hopefully, this was only a "one time thing". :) As for multiplayer vs. singleplayer, my other rooms should also be playable multiplayer, even if the description says singleplayer. Have you tried those yet? :)
Dear @SuperFriiz i think this room has to many mechanisms and its overloaded so thats why some players cant play (multyplayer or solo).it would be perfect if you cut some of those extra things that make the room overload.Thank you very much, i am a big fan of your previous rooms and i cant wait to be able to enjoy the 3rd one.

Hi, we enjoyed all three rooms!

Would like to give a heads up that in this third room and the last puzzle the ghost did not move and was just still in the wall and we could not solve the puzzle without looking up the answer. Also after that the second player was stuck and could not move to the exit.

Thanks for the rooms!

Hi @LakisApoNikolakis -____-, thanks for your very kind words. I'm really pleased to know you have enjoyed my two previous rooms so far. :) I know that my third room has a very long loading time. It can take around 5-6 minutes for the room to load, which is really unfortunate, as it will possibly make players give up before the loading has finished and the room is ready to play. I will have a look at this and see if I can change some things to make the loading time shorter and hopefully make the room playable for more people. :)

Hi @VILLAger, thanks a lot for playing all three rooms. It's so great to hear you enjoyed playing all of them. :) As for the ghost not moving, I have had this report once before, but I haven't been able to replicate it myself so far. The movement of the ghost is based on a LUA script, and I will have it examined and see if something needs to be changed, or if something else has an impact on the correct execution of the script. Thanks for reporting this. :)

Crow and piano puzzle glitched. No matter how many times I played the correct combination the crow would start to sly and then it would reset the puzzle.

Hi @Kitteu, did you solve all four table puzzles and let the crow start cawing, before you entered the correct music combination? :)

Hi all, I have now managed to reduce the loading time by 50 % by removing a very complex custom model and substituting it with one with less complexity. This hopefully should also make the game more stable and prevent crashing. :)

@SuperFriiz thanks for the response, i tryed to play your last room after the update but sadly freezes my pc. A friend of mine, who has a good pc, he also tryed to play it and he super lagged to. I really can not understand how others can play it.
I also found on youtube a walkthrough of your 2nd and 3rd room. The 2nd is more larger in time and i was able to load it , so i think is the mechanisms the ones who make the room unplayable.
Thanks again ,

Hi @LakisApoNikolakis -____-, thanks for taking your time to try playing this 3rd room again. I'm sorry to hear you are still struggling with it (that it freezes on your computer). I have managed to reduce the loading time by 50 % as a first step (by substituting a very complex custom model by another less complex one :)). I have been away for vacation for the last couple of weeks and will try to see if I can do more to reduce the complexity of the room so you can open and play it. Maybe it has something to do with the use of LUA scripting in this 3rd room (which is not at all used in my 1st and 2nd room)? Once you have loaded this room, it shouldn't be laggy at all. So I'm wondering why your friend is experiencing this on their computer. I will try and look into this also. :) Thanks again for writing. :) Btw., did you try opening as a single player or in co-op? :)
Yes i have tryed SOLO and and my pc keeps freezing and my friends (very good pc ) also tryed SOLO and they load a little bit and then they get a black screen with no sound.

Hi @LakisApoNikolakis -____-, it's really strange. I promise to have a look at all the possible things that could cause this at your end. For now, could you - as a first step - try and check your settings under "Graphics"? Make sure that "Textures" is set to "Quarter" and "Custom Textures Compression" is set to "Fast". :) The setting "Community Room Lighting" has to be "High Quality", though. Otherwise, the puzzles using spot lights won't work properly. :)
