fixedWe've received a few reports of rare instances where the movie fails to render and you're left with a blank screen in the theatre. We've fixed a few ways for this to happen, but it was still popping up occasionally. We're very sorry for the frustration this caused.
addedAdditionally, some players were having the rendering fail due to restrictions on their C:/ drive that prevents the game from writing files to our default folder in C:/ProgramData/ActingOutGame. So we've also added the ability to select which drive the movies will save to. You can find it in the Options menu.
fixedWe're also investigating an issue where players' voices go high pitched like a chipmunk sometimes. It's funny but not intentional! Fixed one instance where it was happening, but will keep trying a definitive fix.

Hi everyone,

We've received a few reports of rare instances where the movie fails to render and you're left with a blank screen in the theatre. We've fixed a few ways for this to happen, but it was still popping up occasionally. We're very sorry for the frustration this caused.

We've since done a dive into the video renderer plugin's code, and I believe we've come up with a more reliable fix and are pushing an update to the demo now.

A huge thanks to Dave from Powerhoof for helping to investigate and suggesting a fix!

Thanks again for supporting our game and playing the demo! We hope your experience will be smoother from here on!

Please let us know if you run into any issues with the update.
