Condom Cursor Freezes Near End of Strip Liars Dice

Post by Lounge Lizard »

This is a very bizarre moment in LSL7. The condom cursor, after I just made a bet with Dewmi, is stuck in its packaged form (which it usually does in the middle of a dialogue session) and refuses to unfold out. The weirder part of this is that the game is still going on, and I can move the cursor, but it won't let me interact!!!!! What gives?! Is it a space issue, that has to be resolved by either increasing DOSBox's size or deleting unnecessary space? It's just recently installed with SHP's Ultimate Pleasure Pack installer, and it bothers me that a bug like that would appear when the computer is more than competent to run it. Has anyone else encountered a bug like this?

I have never done much testing of the demos. Sierra never put much effort into the demos nor did they release any patches. It is not uncommon for missing/bad resources with the demos. I am not sure what you mean by more space and DOSBox. If you are talking about memory, the DOSBox default should be enough. Try this confg in the demo's folder to see if it makes any difference

Thanks Collector, but this glitch is not in the LSL7 Demo. The problem appears in the full-version of LSL7. Remember, the demo's version of the cursor is not a condom, but an anchor. I doubt that configuring the demo's version of Strip Liars Dice will help the retail game's problem. Nowhere in my post did I mention that this problem was with the demo, though I understand you seeing it that way, because Strip Liars Dice IS the entire demo. Anyway, do think that this problem might be aided through exploring the configuration file or by some other means?

Sorry, it's what I get for reading the forum while doing several other things at the same time. Try this and let me know.

I managed to fix the problem without the new config. I just uninstalled and installed it again, and I played it with the config of "Surface" and "OpenGl" instead. Thanks for trying to help me, Collector. The only problem I have now is that despite having found all dildos and points, my final Easter Egg won't play! Oh, the humanity!

I don't see how changing the DOSBox rendering method could affect the game itself. I suspect that something was not copied properly the first time and copied right during the reinstall.
