Missing cursor fix
[ 2016-11-20 21:14:59 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hello everyone, I've just pushed an update to the game, which somehow deals with those of you who experienced lost cursor. Please note, that the situation is far from ideal, but it's better than not having any kind of fix. TL;DR; version: if you experience lost cursor, press F11 and IMMEDIATELY return into probe (through the upper interface icon). It will fix it for you without further consequences. Long version (tech lingo and all that, so feel free to stop reading now): The case of a disappearing cursor is a complex and long one. First of all, it never occured to me and it's obviously hardware related (intel gfx cards are susceptible) so I never saw the cause, only the effect. After spending a lot of time trying to kill this beast, I traced it down to libraries engine is using, something which even with my best effort is for me unable to mend. Some sort of weird memory corruption is happening there with some cards and the result is that the game drops access to that interface object (consequence of a cascade memory leak). That's basically the reason why even after F11, you ran into all sorts of glitches. So what my fix is doing - it simply recreates this interface upon entering the probe hopefully eliminating this condition once for all. To this date I fixed quite a few savegames for you all and if you need, just send them to me, I do it quite easily. Once again thank you everyone for your great support and I hope this workaround will fix this problem once and for all. -- Jan

J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars is an innovative narrative driven adventure game which is being developed due to overwhelming support from a successful crowdfunding campaign.
The story centers on Rachel Manners, a 35 year old astrobiologist. She is a member of an elite group of scientists, chosen to embark on one of the most critical missions ever conceived on Earth. Now Rachel is alone, orbiting an unknown planet. Her only companions are J.U.L.I.A., the space probe’s artificial intelligence and Mobot, a huge reconnaissance robot. Together, this unlikely trio will explore the mysteries of this solar system. But are they prepared for what they will find?
After countless years of careful space observation, the enormous telescope Chandra 17 suddenly locates a solar system quite similar to our own. As all earthly observatories turned their attention towards this new discovery, a signal of artificial origin is detected from deep within the system.
Reaction was immediate and a mission plan was conceived. No expense was spared in the construction of a massive space probe. It was designed and equipped to be ideally suited for the ultimate challenge: to meet and study extraterrestrial sentient life-forms. Equal care was taken with the crew. Only the most prominent scientists were selected and trained to ideally represent planet Earth. Everything was perfectly planned and success was certain. Yet somehow, everything has gone terribly wrong…
Now, imagine being jolted awake by an emergency alarm. As your surroundings come into focus, you realize you were deep in cryogenic sleep on a vast space probe. But why you are there is an elusive memory. Disoriented, you rush to the control room searching for answers. Once there you learn from the ship’s AI that not only have you been asleep for decades, but you are also the last surviving member of the probe’s crew.
To make matters worse, the probe is severely damaged by a disastrous impact with a passing meteoroid swarm. First, you must make repairs. Not only is your own survival at stake, but you need to find out what happened to the crew and why you alone survived.
