Memo Screen Freeze/Touch Screen Issues?

#1 Posted by PollySMPS (418 posts) - 5 months, 4 days ago

So, I'm about 23 hours into the game, 4 character endings down. An odd thing occurred just now however and I'm a bit worried and hope someone can either gimme a hand and help me fix the issue or at least confirm that when I power down my save file won't get borked.

I'm currently in the Crew Quarters escape in Room 4 with Phi after obtaining the wallet for the coin so I can scratch the naughty poster's bits off. I uncovered the numbers and brought up the memo pad to write them down and now none of the buttons on the bottom of the screen are working. (pen, eraser, trashcan, and the most important BACK button.) The game doesn't seem frozen as the music's still going and I can still draw and erase on the memo pad, but I can't exit the memo pad. Did the game just get stuck or is there a way to get it to back out otherwise? Also, is there any insight as to whether if I have to reload the game that my save file will be borked? I know it seems dumb to close my 3DS for the night and ask because what's done is done, but I just...kinda wanna know.

I'm also noticing some oddness concerning the touch screen and this game all over. The door puzzles in PEC were sheer murder trying to draw the lines, again, when the bottom of the screen was involved, but the normal Archive, Flow, Save buttons and what have you are always fine. I've also tested a few other games and nothing appears wrong with my touchscreen. Was wondering if it's just an issue with this game's touch controls or what.

Thanks in advance.

On the latter point, I can only suggest re-calibrating the touchscreen in the menu options. Seems like it's the fine lines that are the problem?

On the bigger issue, I was pretty sure the game only borked if you just happen to have gotten "lucky" after saving in one of the puzzle rooms. I wouldn't be surprised if what you're describing is one of many dumb little glitches in the game, but... well, I guess all you can do is shut it off and find out, right? I had a couple of those moments (I actually *had* to save in a puzzle room because there was no way I was finishing that one any time soon and my battery was low enough that it wouldn't have survived sleep), and was nervous as heck reloading to see if it was all over.

I've had it freeze on me once or twice (one time it froze the exact instant I realized "Hey, I haven't saved in a while, I should do that so I don't have to repea-FUCK").

And the PEC line drawing things were really goddamn finnicky for me as well.

Sorry to drag up a 3 month old thread but I'm having some touchscreen problems with the Vita version. My touchscreen has gonna absolutely bonkers once, forcing a reset of the console. And, more than a couple of times, it's seemed generally a bit slow and laggy. Not something that I've ever experienced with the Vita's capacitive touchscreen.

Thought it was just me, but have found a few mentions of it happening in VLR online. Any other Vita owners run into this?

I'm playing on Vita and haven't had any trouble. I'm also using a stylus which makes the game much more pleasant to interact with.
