Temporary fix for crash! [9:42PM GMT, 20th June]
There is a crash in this release. Caused by the client trying to make swirly-particles around talking scripted objects it doesn't know about. By coincidence I implemented a feature to disable swirly-particles, so for those feeling comfortable with messing with files.

Go into Vertical Life v1.5.7\app_settings\settings.xml

Change this area
Code: Select all
<key>MakeSwirlyParticles</key>
<map>
   <key>Comment</key>
      <string>Should the client create swirly particles for no reason on talking objects?</string>
   <key>Persist</key>
      <integer>1</integer>
   <key>Type</key>
      <string>Boolean</string>
   <key>Value</key>
      <integer>1</integer>
</map>

Change the Value to 0 and it should work fine. [Line:552]
Code: Select all
   <key>Value</key>
      <integer>0</integer>


Also, how to fix the (Away) constantly setting itself, look for AFKTimeout via Advanced > Debug Settings.. and set it to some high value or whatever your preference is.


If the fix fails, and 1.5.7 still crashes, you can resort to an earlier 'stable' version:
