Hi! I managed to fix the crash.

The issue was related to the installation/execution path containing special (Unicode/accented) characters in the Windows username/folder name. I was running the game from:

C:\Users\Thiago fodão\Downloads\YAPYAP...

In the logs, the path was incorrectly encoded (e.g., showing as fodão), and the game would crash right after initializing Vosk/voice (libvosk).

The fix was simply moving the game to a directory without accented characters and preferably without spaces, for example:

C:\Games\YAPYAP\

After that, the game launched and ran normally with no crashes.

You may want to consider handling Unicode paths more robustly in the native module (Vosk/Kaldi), or at least adding a warning if the install path contains special characters.

ah yea we had this issue previously but somewhat fixed it

your setup broke it again it seems

yea good idea re paths, i might just try to fix it and recompile vosk tbf

but i can show a modal with an error message for now

game is usually in program files i guess, may i ask why you have it in downloads?

🙂

thanks for the shout
