• Properly display sprites/backgrounds when "Hide CGs" option is enabled and a CG is being hidden @orian34
  • Previously, during a CG scene when "Hide CGs" were enabled, you may have seen a black screen, or just whatever was on the screen just before the CG would have been displayed. This change will show what would have been there if the CG was not shown

Engine Changelog (changes made to all chapters)

• [Proton/Wine] Add workaround for movie playback not working by playing .ogv movie file if Proton/Wine detected
• [Linux, Mac] Fix ALT-ENTER not toggling fullscreen on MacOS/Linux

Changelog

• Updated arcs 1-9 to make use of roughly 3000 voice lines extracted from Higurashi Origin.
  • Origin is DLC for the Switch/PS4 version of Higurashi that allows you to play through arcs 1-9 in a format more like the original PC version, with the route system removed and some (but not all) censorship reverted.
• Changes come in roughly 3 categories:
  • Some unvoiced lines now have voices.
  • Some low quality PS2 voice lines replaced with higher quality Origin voices.
  • Some places where the mod uses PS3 lines that mostly match the original script have been replaced with new voice lines that 100% match the original script.
• Some of the lines touched here would previously show you the censored or uncensored text based on your Voice Matching Level. Those places tweaked to always use the uncensored voice lines when available.
