Missing Dialogue Text - Mark Hot Spring

[limber ibex]

Platform: Steam PC
Version: v1.1b-1233

This is my first time noticing it. I entered the Hot Spring on Summer 19, spotted Mark and clicked on him. His dialogue box was empty, the text only appeared for a split second when I right-clicked and then the dialogue box was gone.

I keep getting this with him and we are currently dating in game. The only dialogue I get regularly is him mentioning about the wind cave opening.

I am also having this issue with Mark throughout the game- before and after dating

Platform: Steam/PC
Game Version: V1.1b-1233

Hello everyone! 🙌 Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Can you tell us the in-game date and time when the dialogue issue occur?

Also, could you share the SaveGames folder in a zip file here so we can take a closer look? To locate it, you can copy-paste this file path to the File Explorer: **%localappdata%\ProjectCoral\Saved\SaveGames. **

I'm sorry I don't have the time of day it happened I didn't think about it and forgot, so I only have the date: Summer 19. But here is my save file, and Summer 19 was the last day I played. I'll try to gather more detailed information if it happens again.

[deep lotus]

Thank you for your reply and for sending the save file! Can you please also send the Backup folder in a zip file here?

It's located inside the SaveGames folder where you find the DailySave file. Thanks a bunch! 💐

[limber ibex]

I think I did this right (I have three saves I'm playing, so only included the backup files for that particular save.) I did play through Summer 22, but Summer 19 and the days before should be in there.

I have shared my save file in a bug report I created separate from this. If I really need to re-share it, I will.

Also, there isn't a specific one time/on day that this happened - it happens every day. For me, the blank text boxes started after I reached 6 hearts with Mark.

[fringe fern]

i believe the blank text boxes started after i reached around 6 hearts as well

Hi everyone! Thank you for the help in providing the necessary details. I will relay this to the team so they can investigate it further. 🚀 ✨

Hello @graceful idol, allow me to confirm, this is the thread that you refer to https://discord.com/channels/623097219628662784/1324600540197556276 - is that correct? Also, do you recall the in-game date when Mark dialogue appear blank to you? 😮

[deep lotus]

Hi hi! Can you tell us the in-game date and time when you get this blank dialogue if you still remember it? 😮

[graceful idol]

Yes to confirming the thread.

I don't recall the in-game date when it first started; the first video I made to try and see the text was in Fall (based on his attire).

This was/is not a one-time occurrence. The blank text happens every day, often the first time I talk to him.

I've made multiple short recordings to see the blip of text that sometimes appears for a second before the text box closes. If I talk to another NPC before Mark, he will sometimes just repeat their dialogue.

I did not make a recording of every single occurrence, but I have several short recordings as I was trying to figure out the pattern.

[graceful idol]

The save file attached to that bug report is not the same game I'm currently playing. I actually started playing an older save to see if maybe it was that game. I'm having the same problem with Mark in my current game.

[fringe fern]

This has occurred multiple times for me as well, Mark sometimes repeating other NPC's dialogue for a split second after a blank dialogue bubble.

[fringe fern]

I unfortunately don't remember exactly when, but it was in spring 20 something, on a rainy day in the afternoon i believe

but the dialogue glitches happen to occur daily except on days where there are festivals or on days before festivals

[deep lotus]

Thank you for confirming, @graceful idol @fringe fern.

We’ve attempted to replicate the issue on our end, but unfortunately, it didn’t occur. If you’re able to replicate it again, could you please share a video of the issue? You can also use the Steam Recording feature to capture it (here’s a guide: https://discord.com/channels/623097219628662784/1222877204233584722).

We truly appreciate your help and support! 😊

[fringe fern]

here you go! this time he copied my dog's dialogue at the end 😭

[deep lotus]

Oh no, Mark! Thank you for sharing the video, oreawn. This is incredibly helpful!

May I ask if the last dialogue you received before talking to Mark was from your pet?
Also, could you kindly share the updated Backup folder here again?

Thank you so much for your help!

Just adding a "Me too!" to this thread. I'm not on the game right now, but I get the same behavior now with Mark. Press A to interact. Speech bubble opens, but is blank. When I press A, the dialog suddenly appears, but the speech balloon has been dismissed (because I pressed A) and so of course closes just as that text appears. Too quick to read, so couldn't say if it matches others, or not.

Steam deck, latest build (1233).

[fringe fern]

Yes, the last dialogue I received before talking to Mark was from my pet! ^^ I talked to them before leaving the house. I did restart the day however after the video was taken but I received the wind mine dialogue from Mark the second time around.

[deep lotus]

Hi! Thank you for adding your experience here as well. I will add these details to the team.

[deep lotus]

Got it! I will relay this to the team so they can investigate this further. Thank you so much for the help in providing the details, oreawn! 🙌 ✨

[graceful idol]

I saw that someone else uploaded a video - do you need anymore?

[graceful idol]

I have also found another Mark-related bug that happens during the romantic picnic by the lake. Alice momentarily appears during the montage scene. Is there already an open report for this or do I need to make one? I have a video of that as well.

[deep lotus]

Oh, yes! The team has gathered enough details to investigate this issue further.

However, if you happen to capture more information, feel free to share it here—it would still be helpful for our records. 🙌

[deep lotus]

Could you kindly add your details there, sweetlenore? Thank you so much for your help!
