There's been a major change to the underlying performance of the game, so if you have VRAM <6GB or are using integrated graphics with <16GB RAM please read this carefully. There are 3 new quality settings, which aim to increase stability of the game. The default is set to high, which by my estimate requires ~6GB VRAM or 16GB of RAM if using integrated graphics. Medium uses ~3GB VRAM and may require 16GB of RAM if using integrated graphics due to OS overhead. Low setting requires 2GB VRAM or 8GB RAM if using integrated graphics. If you experience crashing without an error message, display glitches, or crashes with an error message the is not readable due to display glitches, you may need to lower the quality setting.

This setting reduces the number of frames in each animation during the minigame, however the full frame versions can still be found in the gallery. The scenes outside of the minigame are unaffected but have their performance improved.

I hope you all enjoy, and if you wish to play the latest v0.3 supporter version featuring Jamie & Zoey, consider supporting me on Patreon or SubscribeStar to get instant access to the latest versions of Harmony Girls when they release.
