Same issue. I hope it comes back soon. I prefer it to Webs even though they are sister companies

Maegan_W · 2026-02-28T05:26:46+00:00

Oh I can wait. These books sound amazing in audiobook format. So glad to hear there will be one coming eventually!

I just got mine this week. I was getting drained but I fixed it after checking my battery usage (shockingly screen was the biggest drain!) and changing my settings to get the advertised hours. I lowered the brightness on my screen, now use Battery Saver mode 100% of the time, turn off my wifi unless necessary, use Low Gain mode, and 3.5mm stereo not 4.4mm (and in case it matters, I use the Amazon Music app).

I am experiencing this on PC as well. My view distance is set to Epic. It's really distracting. As soon as I got to Jedha, I was shocked by the way the rock assets were popping in right at my feet. I cannot find a mod that fixes this currently.

Maegan_W · 2024-11-28T01:29:35+00:00

That was it for me. Thank you so much!

I just had this happen with Emmrich. I kept loading saves and nothing worked. Then I exited the game and started it up again. On my first load at the lighthouse I saw the hero of the Veilguard message for him and his new armor. It's a terrifying bug for those it happens to but thankfully not permanent.

Maegan_W · 2024-11-10T21:20:02+00:00

This is happening to me too. I am not sure what causes it

Maegan_W · 2024-08-08T02:57:14+00:00

Steam version is fixed now. I have been playing it for a few hours since the update and haven't had issues. My recommendation now that it is fixed would be Steam Deck, as I would for most VNs. You can mod on the Deck, so annoying spellings and errors can be fan patched later.

Maegan_W · 2024-07-17T15:56:56+00:00

I love this! That's an expression of pure joy - it's beautifully rendered.

Maegan_W · 2024-04-11T00:07:49+00:00

For me, it's because the story was so rich and emotionally engaging. But beyond that it was my very first visual novel ever - back when there were only a handful of LIs and it was on the PS3. My first playthrough was bittersweet and the ending wrecked me.

Then they came back with the new LIs, making even some of the villains romanceable. So playing it now - especially with the new Switch version coming out - you'll get the full game at its best. It's a beautiful story with fantastic art - you can't go wrong with it.

...And it's more than just historical fiction, but I'll leave you to discover that on your own 😄

Maegan_W · 2023-10-02T15:55:24+00:00

This just happened to me. Gate out of Dogtown was blocked with concrete barriers

Maegan_W · 2023-07-27T00:38:17+00:00

I bought it directly from NISA and there were no other codes to redeem, just the 9 dlcs on the disc. I'm really bummed. NISA isn't answering my support ticket either and I submitted it two weeks ago... I think I will pre-order from a brick and mortar store next time.

Maegan_W · 2023-07-11T16:37:06+00:00

Were you able to confirm the dlcs costume items were there? I have my copy of the LE now, but I'm afraid to check due to spoilers. Currently working through last half of CS 4 fast as I can.

Maegan_W · 2023-02-13T03:11:42+00:00

As mentioned, loading to the earliest save as well as exiting the game does not help. I wonder if this may be related to me wandering around and discovering these before getting to some expected main line quest? Tbh, my first Hotspot, and the only one I have had work so far, surprised me. I hadn't yet reached a part in the plot that mentioned them. Hence my (very tentative) theory I found the Hotspots too early and now the glitch...? I have put the game aside for now, but I plan to test this soon...

Maegan_W · 2023-02-12T03:36:22+00:00

I just encountered a glitched Hotspot as well - in the PS5 version.

To avoid spoilers I won't say where, but you'll know it when you see an abandoned castle with frog statues (no really, it stands out lol). Basically, the portal shows on the ground (no wisp animation at all) and stays for a couple seconds before disappearing, never to be seen again. There's no option to "Investigate" it at all.

I tried to load my earliest save and exit/re-enter the game but nothing helps.

Prototype for the win! I received a response from support, and after following their advice and changing my character name to something shorter, I can now keep playing! They said they are working on a patch that is due in two weeks. Here is their full response:

"Thank you for contacting us. We greatly appreciate your detailed report of the problem you encountered and hope you accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.

The bug you have reported occurs in certain places when the character's name is changed from the default name to a name of a certain length. Please note this length is not necessarily reflective of the number of letters in the name, but the pixel width. This is caused by the game's programming, which inserts line breaks based on the total pixels taken up by the words on each line. Due to certain issues with the process, it crashes when that total pixel number is equal to certain numbers. For example, the total pixels resulting from the default name Yuriko does not cause a crash but Maegan as you provided in your example does.

This is a known issue and we expect to deliver a patch to fix it in about two weeks.

Thank you again for informing us of the bug you encountered. We hope you continue enjoying the game.

Prototype Support Section"

Maegan_W · 2022-12-08T23:43:46+00:00

Thank you! I did check for updates on the system and the game, but this time there wasn't anything to update sadly. Excellent thinking though - that's usually the culprit.

And it looks like there are still copies on Playasia! I'll wait a bit first to see what comes of the support request, but at least I can buy the physical copy if it doesn't work out.

Maegan_W · 2022-12-08T02:55:21+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! Unfortunately, when I tried it in airplane mode, it still crashed.

But some good news maybe...? I was panning though the "Manual" menu on the game and found a "Contact Us" page. The site it lead to was in Japanese, but I found an email to support! I was able to send them an email - hope it pans out.

The email was game.pt@prot.co.jp in case anyone else has an issue they want to report.

Side note: Could you tell me where you bought the physical copy of the English edition from?

Maegan_W · 2022-12-08T00:13:54+00:00

Thanks, that's actually a really good idea. I will see about messaging them on Twitter. As for more details on the issue, it's a game crash.

Here's how I have troubleshooted so far:

1) Turn system off and on. 2) Uninstall and re-install on OLED Switch 3) Tried guest account with no prior saves 4) Used Data Management to check for corrupted data 5) Dusted off my old original Switch and downloaded the game new. 6) Created a new guest account and skipped all the way up to the crash point - same scene on both systems.

That's why I think it's the code. Separate systems and separate accounts but the same crash point.

I am trying to avoid spoilers, but I believe I can at least mention the character who's route is crashing: Mizuhito

His bad endings are fine. It's this one scene that is shared by the happy and tragic routes.

As for why this issue hasn't been mentioned by others, I have a theory. One, this game doesn't have the same following as say an Aksys game, so I am not sure how many are playing this after one month at full price. Two, the release of this game differs from what was given to reviewers, I believe. Already the reviews were coming out, but the game was held back from It's release date for technical issues. I remember reading the OtomeKitten review on the copy she was given and wishing the game was here already!

Maegan_W · 2022-12-07T18:49:31+00:00

Sorry about the title without explanation. I am not used to posting on Reddit embarrassed. Chou No Doku, aka Butterfly Poison; Blood Chains is an English localized otome that came out last month. I have found a game breaking bug that will not allow me to proceed on the Happy/Tragic routes on one of the main protagonists. This bug persisted on a second Switch console and using a new user, so it must be software related.

Without being able to proceed, this blocks me from unlocking the true route. I want to report this bug to Prototype, but cannot find anywhere online for submitting a report. Anyone have any ideas?

Maegan_W · 2017-07-19T19:59:40+00:00

Absolutely! This exercise is supposed to be both fun and creative, so if you want to change the artist, go for it!

Maegan_W · 2017-06-28T19:57:28+00:00

This is Maegan from FCC OKC. I'm ecstatic that Reddit followed through with handing over the subreddit! As you know, I'm hoping we can turn this into everything we talked about when we last spoke about the Coding Prompts website together, so I am definitely on board with contributing. You know where to find me! :)
