2025-01-06 v1.7 Update notes (cont.)Hello code-breakers!
Also as part of patch v1.7, we've updated the game engine from LOVE2D 11.4 to 11.5. Hopefully this will resolve some of the long-standing driver/OS level issues some of our players have experienced due to bugs in LOVE2D 11.4.
[ 2025-01-06 22:34:04 CET ] [ Original post ] 2025-01-06 Update notes (v1.7)Hello code-breakers!
We've replaced the audio library (OpenAL) with an updated version to hopefully solve some of the sound/audio issues reported by our Windows players.
The game should also now report any errors when failing to create the device_settings.txt file. This happens when the game is started and no device_settings.txt file is detected.

- fixes duplicate lines in Goethe's biography

[ 2023-10-20 20:06:26 CET ] [ Original post ] Linux patchHello! This patch is for Linux users only. It should fix the no sound issue, but If you continue to have issues with your setup, try the following:
Right click on Poems & Codes in your library and select Properties. Click Compatibility and check the box that says "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool". Use the dropdown that appears to select "Steam Linux Runtime 1.0".
If that doesn't do the trick for you, let us know!
