Love Menu 1.8.0

Smoother in crowded rooms

Most of the stutters in busy rooms came from Love Menu itself. A leftover check scanned everything in the room once a second, and a few features each searched the room separately. Now:

• the leftover check no longer runs
• the minimap, people list, friend notices and people filter share one quick search
• every search in the menu uses Unity's faster method

Freezes

• Auto-free RAM is gone. It had run shortly before the freezes we looked at, it paused the game for up to half a second, and in busy rooms it freed nothing. Free memory now is still in the Performance tab if you want to use it by hand.
• Better freeze reports. If the game freezes, Love Menu now writes down exactly which part of the game got stuck in BepInEx\CrashDumps\hangs.log. It also notes whether the game was in the background (alt-tab). Make crash report includes it, so please send one after a freeze.

Bug fixes

• "Player is busy" after a pose, dance or other shared action: only the person who started the action could leave the group. Everyone else was stuck in it until F5, and every new action said they were busy. Now Exit works for everyone. This is on by default in the Bug fixes tab.

Removed

• Key Hunter teleports: Go to safe and the keys search button.
• The Fixed crashes list in the Crashes tab.
• Tools meant only for development are no longer shown in the menu.

Install / update

Download LoveMenu-1.8.0.exe below and run it. It replaces the older version automatically. If you don't have BepInEx yet, press Enter when it offers to install it.

The menu is active only when you start the game with this exe. Starting from Steam gives you the normal game.

Love Menu 1.7.1

Fixes

• Minimap: the map now stays still with north up, and your arrow turns to show where you're looking. Before, the whole map turned with the camera and its corners spilled outside the frame.

Bug fixes for the game itself

A new Bug fixes tab fixes bugs players reported in Lovecraft. These fixes were tested in game and are on by default:

• Items won't come off: removing an accessory from a different Accessories tab than the one it's worn in did nothing, and it couldn't be put on again. Now it comes off.
• Couples posing inside each other: if you joined a room while people were already posing or slow dancing, you saw them inside each other. Now they're placed correctly as soon as they load.
• Two chat channels on top of each other: a channel added later (a group, a private message, after changing rooms) was drawn over the one you were reading. Now only the channel you picked shows.
• Chat links that mention the sender: clicking a link sometimes put the sender's name in your chat box instead of opening it. Now links open every time.

The tab also has a lag spike recorder. It writes down every hitch and what caused it, so lag reports come with real numbers.

New

• Minimap: a map of the room in a screen corner. Friends are green, your clan purple, other players grey, NPCs yellow. Hover a dot for the name; click anywhere on the map to teleport there.
• Back: undoes your last teleport, with a hotkey.
• People tab:
  • everyone in the room with clan and distance
  • Only to show just the people you pick and hide the rest
  • a chat log saved per day, with search and mention alerts when someone writes your name
• Rendering:
  • name tag distance, to only show tags of people nearby
  • auto crowd mode, which switches to friends-only when a packed room makes FPS drop

Fixes

• A possible freeze from the automatic RAM clean-up is fixed. The clean-up also stops retrying when it has nothing to free.
• If the game freezes on DirectX 12 or Vulkan, the launcher goes back to DirectX 11 next time.
• Hide player wings no longer hides your own wings, or other people's hair and shoes.
• Key Hunter keys now show in Collected today.
• The NPC list no longer shows effects like [VFX]Smoke.
• The Fortune tab is gone: the countdown is on Home, and the notice switch is in Settings.

Love Menu 1.6.0

New

Rendering tab

• Performance profiles: Quality, Balanced or Potato in one click. Potato turns everything off that can be and only shows your friends.
• Show people: Everyone, My clan or Friends. Everyone else (with their pets and name tags) isn't drawn on your screen. The biggest FPS win in packed clubs. They still see you and chat works as normal.
• FPS benchmark: measures 30 seconds and shows the average and the "1% low" (how bad the stutters are). Run it with a setting off and on to see what helps.
• Graphics API (experimental): DirectX 11, DirectX 12 or Vulkan, plus multithreaded rendering. Applies the next time you start the game with the Love Menu exe. If the game doesn't start properly, it goes back to DirectX 11 on its own.
• Rendering switches: smooth loading when people join, only the sun casts shadows, avatar draw distance, cheaper mirrors, no reflection stutter every minute, decals for the main view only, sky effects off.

Fortune tab

• The Kiss of Fortune free-opening countdown, also on Home. Click a ball once and its timer keeps counting, even after a restart. A notice tells you when it's free, and a Go button takes you to the ball.

Friends

• Friend notices: "Allatu is here" when a friend arrives in your room, and who is already there when you arrive. Optional notice when they leave.

Crashes

• Game errors log: every error the game reports is collected in BepInEx\LoveMenu\errors.log, with a count of each in errors-summary.txt.
• Make crash report: one zip on your desktop with the logs, errors, crash dumps, settings and a PC summary. If the game won't even start, run LoveMenu-1.6.0.exe --report instead, which also adds the Windows crash entries. Nothing is uploaded; you send the zip yourself.

Fixes

• Some avatars had no hair or clothing physics because their settings arrived broken. The parts that arrive intact are now used. This error appeared right before two confirmed crashes.
• Objects like Scripted_menu_Bulava failed to load because the game picked the wrong file from the download.
• Lights on avatars and pets that arrived before their avatar failed to load.
• The crash dumps folder no longer grows forever.

The load fixes are switches on the Crashes tab, and the rendering switches on the Rendering tab. All are off until you turn them on or pick a profile.

Love Menu 1.5.1

Fixes

• Collected today only counts quest items: shells, letters, keys and flowers. Other players' pets and props that vanish next to you no longer show up.
• Collected today tags wrap onto a new row, so the Open log button is visible again.
• Search results no longer run into the page name.
• NPCs in this room no longer lists vehicles, skateboards and treadmills.
• Quiz helper remembers if you turned it on or off.

Love Menu 1.5.0

New

• Quiz helper. During a world quiz, the right answer's button turns green with a ✓. You still click it yourself. Switch it on or off from Home → Quick toggles or in Teleports. Show all answers opens a list of every question and its answer.
• Quest item search. One-click searches for seashells, letters, flowers and keys in Teleports.
• Go to next. Teleports you to the next quest item, one at a time, and shows how many are left nearby. Has its own hotkey.
• Go to safe (Key Hunter) and Quest giver buttons, each with a hotkey.
• NPC list. Teleport to any NPC in the room.
• List names and Near me show the objects in the room, or everything within 4 m of you.
• Collection log. Shows a notice for each item you pick up and counts today's items. Saved to BepInEx/LoveMenu/collected.log.
• Capture world scripts (Crashes page) is a developer tool for bug reports. It is off by default.

Love Menu 1.4.0

New

• Welcome tour. The first time you start the menu, a short animated tour shows you around: try the menu key, pick your colour, turn on the FPS overlay. Replay it from Credits → Welcome tour.
• Fly through walls. No collisions while flying. When you turn Fly off, you land on the first solid surface below.
• Detailed logging switch on the Crashes page, for bug reports. Off by default, so the log stays clean.
• The menu remembers where you left it on screen and which page was open.

Fixes

• After flying, your avatar no longer walks through things or sits next to chairs. The avatar's physics body now moves together with the visible one.
• Clicking a chair works with Knockback Immunity on. It no longer stops the game from walking you there.
• Lock body rotation now holds when you drag the camera with right-click.
• Dragging the menu while walking no longer sends it flying into the corner.
• Typing in the menu (search, waypoint names) no longer moves your avatar.
• Settings save automatically every couple of seconds, so a crash doesn't lose them. Auto-free, hide wings and graphics settings are now remembered too.
• The badge on Knockback Immunity no longer makes its card too wide.

Knockback Immunity is still experimental.

Love Menu 1.3.2

Fixes

• No more stuck falling after flying. Turning Fly off could leave you floating just above the floor in the falling pose. You now land properly.
• The menu can't get lost off screen anymore. Dragging it too far could leave only the search box visible, with no way to move it back. The whole header now drags the window, and part of it always stays on screen.

Knockback Immunity is still experimental.

Love Menu 1.3.1

Fixes

• Teleport to a friend works again. Friends in the same room now show up. The list comes straight from the game's friends data (the Friends panel doesn't need to be open), refreshes when you open Teleports, and is sorted nearest first.
• No more log spam while flying. Flying no longer floods the log with "Setting linear velocity of a kinematic body is not supported".

Knockback Immunity is still experimental.

Love Menu 1.3.0

What's new

A completely redesigned menu. New look with rounded cards, real on/off switches, sliders that show their value, and a size that follows your screen (1080p, 1440p, 4K).

• Camera page: field of view slider (Reset returns to the game's 65), zoom-out limit (10 to 70 m), and screenshot mode on F9 that hides the HUD, chat, name tags and the menu. It can also hide your avatar. F9 or F7 brings everything back.
• Mini overlay: FPS, RAM and active features in the corner of your choice. Turn it on in Settings.
• Hotkeys for features: click + Key next to a switch and press a key to toggle it without opening the menu.
• Search: type in the box at the top to jump to any setting.
• Update notice: Home tells you when a newer version is out.
• Reset all settings in Settings (your waypoints are kept).
• Your real name now shows in the sidebar instead of "_Self".

Knockback Immunity is still experimental and does not reliably stop snowball and ball hits yet.
