Chiru Chapter Title Mistakes and EP8 "Bern's Puzzle" Logs Errors

[YNagato]

1. This mistake happens in every EP in Chiru, but not in Rondo.

When one replays a Chiru EP and chooses "don't cast the spell," the mistake will happen in the following way:

In the "Prologue" of that EP, open the Logs and jump to a later chapter.

Then right click to open the menu, the screen will show the title of that later chapter is still "Prologue."

The picture below gives an example: the cake cutting scene is described as "Prologue":

2. In EP8 "Bern's Puzzle," the logs malfunctions in several peculiar ways:

a. Between the line "......That's all for my tale" (which is right after the end of the eight twilight") and the end of the chapter ("Enjoy the game that I've created...just for you......"). "Use the jump function in the logs to jump back or forward to any point within this very section, the resulted background will be rendered as the starry universe even when the location should be Beato's parlor, and the sprite will be gone; or the fullscreen textbox will be mistakenly rendered as a bottom screen textbox. For example:

The correct background should be:

Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru ~Nocturne of Truth and Illusions~ (8.2a) 6_1_2020 11_43_45 PM.png (2.22 MiB) Viewed 20007 times

But using the logs to jump to the same point, the sprite is gone and the background becomes:

Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru ~Nocturne of Truth and Illusions~ (8.2a) 6_1_2020 11_45_16 PM.png (2.07 MiB) Viewed 20007 times

[YNagato]

Another example. The correct textbox should be like this:

Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru ~Nocturne of Truth and Illusions~ (8.2a) 6_1_2020 11_20_34 PM.png (1.74 MiB) Viewed 20004 times

But using the logs to jump to the same point, the textbox format and location becomes entirely different:

Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru ~Nocturne of Truth and Illusions~ (8.2a) 6_1_2020 11_46_33 PM.png (2.08 MiB) Viewed 20004 times

2b. After "Enjoy this game that I've created...just for you......," enter the menu, click "Re-read story." Choose any twilight. Save file. Load the file. Then (almost) the whole logs of "Bern's Puzzle" will be erased except for the First Twilight plus any other Twilight you have chosen. Once that happens, everytime you open the logs, you will be located at the beginning of EP8.

The same applies when you click "Hints." Then click any hint to open it. Save file. Load the file. Then (almost) the whole logs of "Bern's Puzzle" will be erased except for the First Twilight plus any hint you have chosen.

For example, this is the normal, correct logs that shows when you click "Hints" and click "??????????????" but do not load the file you saved at this very point. Open the logs, and you can see the hint's text follows right after the last line of the chapter:

Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru ~Nocturne of Truth and Illusions~ (8.2a) 6_1_2020 11_28_51 PM.png (1.96 MiB) Viewed 20004 times

But if you load the saved file, and open the logs, you will be located at the beginning of EP8. Scrolling down, you can only see the hint's text follows right after the First Twilight text's end instead. All other things in the chapter (except the First Twilight text and this hint's text) are gone.

One more observation: once most of the logs of "Bern's Puzzle" were wiped out, you can't restore them simply by reloading or jumping to an earlier point within that chapter. Rather, you have to reload a file that has saved a point preceding "Bern's Puzzle" (that is, before the opening of the First Twilight"), and then you will see all the gone contents are restored back to the logs.

2c. Use "Cast the Spell" to jump to the "Bern's Puzzle" chapter, open the logs, scroll to the end. It will show the chapter's accurate final line: "Enjoy this game that I've created...just for you......"

But if we use "Cast the Spell" to jump to the next chapter "The Visitor Who Came Late" and open the logs, it will show that what precedes it is the First Twilight, which is just the first part of "Bern's Puzzle," not its end.

Any luck?

Not yet, this is in my backlog but so far I was unable to get to it, sorry.

Perhaps you have some sort of save issues.
