Hi @peak oak , apologies for the delayed response! By reverting hearts, did you mean that it only happened whenever you're talking to the NPCs or does it also affect the one on your relationship tab? 😲

[peak oak]

Only when talking to NPCs. Very weird. Some days it’ll show how it’s supposed to and other days it’ll keep changing (from blue heart to half blue, grey, half gray, and so on). Relationship tab is unaffected.

[peak oak]

for example, I have full 10 hearts with Nina. Talking to her two different times in the same day show different conversation hearts.

another example, I have full 10 hearts with Rafael but the first conversation of this day show an empty heart. Affects both romanceable and non romanceable NPCs. Relationship tab seems to be unaffected.

I see 😲 If you're able to replicate the issue, could you record a video and send it here? To make it easier for you, you can do so by activation Steam Recording:

• Click the Steam icon (top left corner) > Settings > Game Recording.
• Choose your recording mode: "Record Manually" or "Record in Background" (recommended: Length: 60+ minutes, Quality: Medium, Frame Rate: 30)
• Launch Coral Island and play as usual!
• If using “Record in Background,” recording starts immediately as the game launches.
• If using "Record Manually", use the shortcut keys to start or stop the recording.
• To view your recording: Click View > Recording & Screenshots.
• Right-click the video > Share > Export video file.
• The video is saved in your preferred folder and you can post it on your report post.

Thank you 😆

Video file is too large for me to upload without Nitro. I have attached a google drive link. Please let me know how else I can help. Thank you for the assistance. 🙂

[noble owl]

I see, are you using mod by any chance? 😮

[peak oak]

No mods.

Convo hearts randomly changing

[noble owl]

Hi, my apologies! It looks like the previous Save File you sent here wasn't able to show the problem, I was only able to identify the problem from the Save File you sent for the repeated dialogue issue

Do you remember when the issue first started happening? Did it happen after specific quests or achievement?

[peak oak]

Ah sorry about that! I think the issue started around the same time as the repeating dialogue issue or at least that’s when i noticed it (around hotfix v1.1b-1233). I think it’s more accurate to say that the convo hearts randomly change (rather than revert like I originally stated). Sorry I can’t remember if it started after something specific. 😔

[noble owl]

Do you remember how long has it been happening in the game?

[peak oak]

if you mean in game time, at least since Fall Year 1 (and I'm now in Winter Year 2). if you mean how long its affected my game in real time, at least since December 27th-ish.

[noble owl]

Noted! Thank you for your confirmation, I'll relay this issue to the team for checking 😄

Hopefully the issue can be resolved soon. In the meantime, if you encounter any more issues please don't hesitate to let us know~

I recognized a pattern to the NPC convo heart changes while playing. If I speak to a townie unaffected by the bug, whatever convo heart they have is what will show when talking to affected townies.
so in the first clip I first speak to Wataru (relationship at 9/10 Hearts) who has the half red convo heart, subsequent townies show half red heart.
second clip i speak to Mark (relationship 8/8 Hearts) who has the full blue convo heart, the same townies i talk to in the first clip now have the full blue convo heart.
third clip i speak to Raina (half gray heart) and the townies I speak to afterwards show half gray convo heart.
I thought it'd be easiest to show the same NPCs in the clips but I've tested this on different days with different NPCs and still the same pattern. I hope this may be helpful. 🙂

[noble owl]

I see, to confirm does it mean the changing convo hearts will only trigger after talking to specific townies such as Wataru, Mark, and Raina? If so, did you notice any other townie that triggers the heart change? 😲

[peak oak]

No. If I talk to an affected townie first, they just show as first/gray heart despite relationship level (have both kenny and suki 10/10). Talking to any of the pets will trigger the change as well as Dinda, Archie, Joko, Emily, Sam, Eleanor, Sunny, Oliver, Wataru, Mark, Charles, Scott, Jim, Jack, Kira, Ben, Millie, Surya, Paul, Antonio, Ling. Those are the townies I've noticed so far at least.

I also noticed Princess Miranjani began to be affected during/after the wedding but originally her and other merfolks did not have changing convo hearts. In this clip her convo heart reflects Cho Oyu's when she responds to my dialogue selections but changes back to full red heart during scripted responses.

[noble owl]

To confirm, are Dinda, Archie, Joko, Emily, Sam, Eleanor, Sunny, Oliver, Wataru, Mark, Charles, Scott, Jim, Jack, Kira, Ben, Millie, Surya, Paul, Antonio, Ling the townies unaffected by the bug and currently the only ones who will show their heart colors correctly?

[peak oak]

Yes! Aaliyah, Zoe, and Pablo as well.

[noble owl]

Thank you for the confirmation! Before I relay your recent findings with the team, could you share your most recent Save File so our team can take a closer look? Thank you 😄

[noble owl]

Thank you! I'll relay your recent finding with the team for further investigation, I'll update you once the team has come up with a fix~

Hi. I just come here for the same issue. All NPC with Full heart (Every Single NPC whom already got my lockets) have randomly change Heart color when talked to them (Mostly dropped). But in Relationship screen still full heart as normal.

Example video for Nina and Alice

Hi there

I also am experiencing this but did not pay much attention to it but I remember getting it from Fall Year 1 when I maxed Rafael's heart to 10

I noticed this also happens to townies that I reached max hearts (10 hearts) with
The Love Interests that you don't give lockets to are fine since they always stay at blue
The color changes depending on who you talked last to before talking to the affected person

For example: Talking to Scott (8 hearts) first and then talking to the Mayor (10 hearts) will result to the Mayor having the color of 8 hearts (blue)

Another example: Talking to Peanut the Cat which has no heart color first and then talking to the Mayor will result with the Mayor having a colorless heart as well

Last example: Joko (10 hearts) seems to not be affected by this during my playthrough and has his heart color correctly (Full Pink) and by talking to the Mayor afterwards, the latter will have the full pink color
