When I hit the mid-game load point, it froze on a black screen, and I had to kill it with the Task Manager. It happened twice more, at the same load point. I got a bit annoyed at having to re-set my graphics and mouse sensitivity because of the crashes, so I started it up, set them, quit, and started it up again. After that, no crashes. Played through the entire thing twice, normal and then Puffin Mode, without any other problems. Thank you so much for posting this. I had the same issue.

Lechimp Posted July 20, 2012 On 7/20/2012 at 2:07 AM, FesteDaFool said: The story (spoilers for Thirty Flights of Loving and Gravity Bone): Reveal hidden contents The first couple of times I booted the game, it went straight to the bar/hideout. The third time, I got to see a newspaper article first. Was I supposed to see that the first time or was it unlocked by me beating the game? In any case the article reveals that Thirty Flights of Loving is a Citizen Abel adventure, as was Gravity Bone. There are three possibilities as to what happened at the airport: (a) Anita (the Confectioner) betrayed Borgers (the Best Man), ( Borges betrayed Anita, or © they were attacked by a third person (the Red Lady?). Since Abel decides to rescue Borges, we can assume that his life is more important to him than Anita's, regardless of their romantic relationship. As to who shot first, I think it makes slightly more sense that it was Borges, since Anita is trapped in that little corner with no path to escape. Blowing people away and getting away with it is the Red Lady's specialty, though... There are two road accidents in the game, one on the motorcycle and another in the escape from the airport. Since Anita and Borges are healthy (and not trying to kill each-other) in the former, we can assume that it happened first and the latter happened afterwards. Of course, the world of Citizen Abel has shown that hails of bullets and car crashes are not necessarily fatal. I think the Anita died in the motorcycle accident, and that many of her appearances in the game are actually the Red Lady. This is implied when you see her beckoning you to get in bed with her, not Anita. Why doesn't Abel try to save Anita at the airport? Maybe I'm reading too much into those hearts on the motorcycle ride, but I think it makes sense that that woman isn't Anita at all. If there is any continuity between the games I think the events of TFoL must have happened first. Why, do you ask, does Abel not recognize the Red Lady in Gravity Bone? He's probably slept with hundreds of women. Or, maybe GB happened before TFoL, and Abel doesn't recognize the Red Lady at the party because he has amnesia. I think I'm just going to give myself a headache if I keep pursing this so I'm going to give up. One last thing: in the fall off the balcony at the end of Gravity Bone I think I see Anita! Her face flashes on screen for a brief moment, and then in the final shot there she is as runner 99! I thought that it's possible that Reveal hidden contents you betray them. I have no real reason to think this other than it cutting to Anita pointing the gun at you and that after you complete the game and you can look at the signs with the credits, there's a tiny card somewhere that mentions turning people in. So at least someone betrayed some other people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolzig Posted July 20, 2012 Oh man that was an awesome experience. The music is great and the Puffin mode blew my mind. I kind of was hoping that: Reveal hidden contents The wanted posters would show Goldblum's face and name and some "secret" information, but no. Also I was kind of scared before the wedding party as I was already imagining that the cats would have Jeff Goldblum's face. Maybe it's a good thing the cats didn't have his face. Seems others noticed the Red Lady also, I was absolutely sure that was the enemy from Gravity Bone. So cool with all the small references at the airport, I didn't see the Horsebag ad, but I did see Baboo and the third-person ********* Ultraboost. Also the plans for the horse(bag) terminal extension was hilarious at the hideout! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brendon Chung Posted July 20, 2012 Iosef Stalin - thanks for the heads-up. I'll check out the turnstile bug. Korax - latest update should resolve the level-load crash issue. kosikutioner - latest update should fix the graphics artifacts on the insane rainbow car. feelthedarkness - El Topo is totally boss. FesteDaFool - I love love love it. HPopper - I'll check that out. Sounds like a missing image. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kolzig Posted July 21, 2012 By the way, the copyright says MMXI in two places even though the game was released in 2012? I noticed Steam downloaded a 550.6 KB and 548.9 KB update to the game today. Seems there's a new nice title screen that I didn't have before. By the way, the game crashed twice when I tried changing the default resolution and put some anisotropic filter to use, it just got stuck and I had to close it with Task Manager. So in the end I just played it with the default settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Upthrust Posted July 21, 2012 The first time I played Gravity Bone was during midterms of my last semester as an undergraduate. I have a pretty terrible habit when I'm pulling all-nighters, which is my diet consists almost entirely of oranges and tea. Reveal hidden contents When I came across the box of oranges, I initially felt like it must have been some sort of reference to Gravity Bone, but it's was just a wonderful bit of serendipity. Naturally, I proceeded to eat a dozen oranges while staring up at the paper lanterns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forbin Posted July 21, 2012 I never finished gravity bone, as I kept getting a crash to desktop bug. Am I supposed to know anything from it?

empika Posted July 26, 2012 So good! Just too many little things that all culminate in just a funny, sweet and beautiful game. Some things I loved: Reveal hidden contents Borges pseudonyms on the wanted poster Eating oranges. I actually had to go and play it again as I didn't notice it the first time. Pushing ducks Picking up all the weapons and ammo in the hideout Baboo horse bag! The lorum ipsum in the poster for the band. I forget what band was called but it made me chuckle also. I love being thrown in to the museum from the car crash. The character introductions. Super stylish! The numbers station on the hideout radio. I'd love to know if this is real numbers station audio? Also, the music, great job Chris! Will the soundtrack be available at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
