Temporary Fix for TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'NoneType' and 'float'

Hello everyone! We are so sorry for all the difficulties experience with running Highway Blossoms 1.2.2. We've figured out the issue and a proper fix will be coming as soon as possible.

If you are experiencing the "TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'NoneType' and 'float'" error:
For now, to make the game run without crashing, please go into the accessibility menu in options before starting the game and changing the font to any other font. You will be able to change it back to the default font afterwards if you wish.

If you are experiencing the "ValueError: unsupported pickle protocol: 5" error with the downgraded versions, we are still investigating this issue. Hopefully with the above fix will mean that downgrading will not be necessary, but we will work on a fix for it.

If you are experiencing other issues with running it via Steam Deck, we are in the process of acquiring a Steam Deck to debug and address this issue.

If you are getting any other error screens please report them and we will address them as soon as possible.

We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience.

Highway Blossoms 1.2.3 fixes the "FTFont NoneType" crash! Thank you to everyone that reported and helped test this elusive issue, as we were completely unable to reproduce this on our local testing environments without your help! And our apologies for all the inconvenience that was experienced.

Additionally, using the Steam "Betas" feature to downgrade to 1.1.1, 1.1, and 1.0 should now work correctly, fixing the "unsupported pickle protocol: 5" error. (※ You may need to restart your Steam client for the changes to take effect, as the changes were made to Steamworks metadata and not to any actual game code or data.)

As for Steam Deck specific issues, I am in the process of acquiring Steam Deck hardware to properly test this, as simply running Holo / SteamOS 3 on conventional PC hardware apparently does not reproduce Deck-specific quirks related to `gamescope`.

Highway Blossoms 1.2.3 may or may not address Deck crashes — please try the new update and see if anything changes.

Thank you all for remaining patient, and as always, thank you for continuing to support Studio Élan!
