• We're looking into the screen resolution bugs currently and have some promising leads thanks to your feedback. This should be resolved for launch

[h2]Hello campers! ⛺[/h2]

[h3]We hope you've all been enjoying your visit to Pine Hearts this Next Fest 💚[/h3]

We're aware that a few folks have come across some bugs during their play through of the demo and wanted to give a quick fix guide to assist anyone else who might be experiencing similar issues.

[h3]🐶 Dog Pet Crash[/h3]

First up we have the crash some folks have encountered when trying to pet Bonnie at the start of the game. We think this might be a cuteness overload in the systems, so please reset the cuteness counter using these steps:

1. Open Windows File Explorer
   
2. Copy command %AppData%/../LocalLow
3. Paste command into FIle Explorer
   
4. Delete any folders that appear named 'Hyper Luminal Games'
   
5. Relaunch the demo
   

We also have a handy video you can follow:

[h3]💻 Window Resizing[/h3]

We're aware of a few minor issues with the window scaling changes not being maintained after accepting selection, or windows automatically resizing after the menu is closed. We're currently looking at solutions for release but we recommend playing the demo in full screen mode where possible 💚

[h3]Any Other Issues? Let Us Know![/h3]

If your particular issue hasn't been covered in this post please feel free to leave a comment underneath describing your issue and we'll do our best to get the team on a fix 💪

We hope you enjoy the rest of your trip to Pine Hearts and will catch you again soon!
