Hi, 

I can't run this updated version, i get the following error message : [1202/120619.805:FATAL:v8_initializer.cc(595)] Error loading V8 startup snapshot file

Any idea how to fix this ? I have downloaded many times, unzipped many times, but i keep getting this error while former version worked as expected.


Thanks.

Windows is telling me there is a trojan in the Utopia_Must_Fall_Win_656.zip file?

Well, I zipped it myself from the developer's compile and uploaded it directly to Itch, I would be very surprised if there was!  Pretty sure it's a false positive.

Yeah, me too. I bypassed Windows Defender but now I unzip (7zip and WinRAR) and the executable won't launch.

Not trying to be a pain, this game is absolutely fantastic. I just want to try the newest version.

EDIT: I got it working by copying the v8_context_snapshot.bin file from my Steam copy into the new version's folder.

I noticed a slight UI bug in the menus, to activate any buttons I have to offset the position of the crosshair to the right. I don't know if that is a global bug or a glitch because I used a different snapshot BIN file.

But the game itself is great.

This isn't offered to me as update. So I uninstalled it, now I can't reinstall it (no compatible version found). This is with the itch.io Windows client.

You can't download Utopia_Must_Fall_Win_656.zip from the game page?

I can. My point is that in the itch.io app, that can manage installed games and their updates, I can no longer update or install Utopia Must Fall. I assume this is because the uploads have not been tagged to be executables for their respective platforms. I think it is supposed to look as indicated here:

 

This looks great.  Does purchase here include a Steam key?

Yes, I should post them here, thanks for the reminder to do that.

Just added the keys, let me know if you can't access them.

When will the Intel Mac version of 0.656 be available?

(+1)

Should be able to cook that up very soon, I'll ping you again when it's ready.

I see the Mac Intel of the update. Thanks!

I see the Steam key now as well. I wasn't expecting that when I bought the game here instead of there, so it's a bonus for me. Getting the game here means I can compare builds as you update the game. The new playing field feels almost claustrophobicly short compared to what I remember, but since I kept the previous version I can confirm my impression.
