and I don't understand why the team released this "feature" without the option to deactivate it at least for diamond users and above...

I have a question for everyone. This might not be the place for it, but I think I might get some honest replies in this thread. I haven't updated my VG software since the change to iStripper. There were SO many bugs with the switch I didn't want to mess with it. My question is: Is this version of iStripper worth updating my software?

Since this current version 1.2.142 might have a BUG in it. I'd say wait..
but if you can install 1.2.138 then go for it...
1.2.138 is here

I understand that the release version notes says it will delete demo files if the quota is execeeded.

I took this to mean it would disable previews from playing not that it would delete the actual demo files themeselves. Also it does not say anything about deleting demos of cards you already own. If Totem want to delete previews of unpurchased cards then fine I don't have a problem with that. I can always download them again if I am considering purchasing a card.

I am now beyond annoyed with this.

Ihave tried to play fair by Totem by not deleting demo files and keeping P2P turned on. I am now repaid by Totem deleting previews of cards I have purchased.

I see little point now in keeping P2P turned on - there is virtually nothing to share anymore.

@HombreSinSombra

Here's an idea of what's happening...

Fortunately, I backed up my Alizee cards when she retired. Including the demo clips :)

I just did a test, 3 times to be sure. I copied and pasted my back-up clips from card a0820, including the demos back into the correct model folder of this card. The demo clips will play using WA's original player.

Now, when I restart the gui, the demos have disappeared again. The new software is definitely wiping out demos left right and centre! Oh, and I tried this same test with another model still on sale. Same result.

This needs an urgent fix, Team!

Edit: In the Gui when I open this card of Alizee's the demo clips do not show. However, in the model folder for this card, they are there and as I said, will play using WA's original player. This is only because I pasted the clips back into the folder from my back-up. Weird :/

If you Put back the aXXXX.vhdtrailes file and then do a rebuild collection.
I don't think it will again delete the files.

I'm gonna run a few tests...

on only One system I installed 1.2.140 first followed by 1.2.142
on the other two I went directly from 1.2.138 to 1.2.142

I've yet to have it delete the demos from any of my purchased cards..

I wrote a script to list out all my .demo files.

in the Models folder I created a New text file.
then named it list-all-demos.bat
yes, you have to change the extension from .txt to .bat
put this in the text file then save it, then rename it.
save it in the Models folder

@echo off
Dir *.demo /ON/S/B >all-my-demos.txt
echo Job is complete.
pause

I'm running on a Mac Pro using OSX 10.12.1 and iStripper 142. About 2/3 of my models folders no longer have .demo files. I can provide a list of the folders with missing demos. What's strange is that some folders still have demos and these tend to be e and f series cards, but not all of the e & f folders have demos.

I WANT MY DEMOS BACK!

I have no clue what is causing this. I did a search for *.demo files on my E drive/models and very few results came back.

This appears to mean that we all have to re-download the demos that we are missing and P2P is screwed up for quite a while.

The REALLY sad part is that if your demos of purchased cards are gone, you have to update the card which means, from my experience, downloading the whole card again.

I'm going to watch a movie to cool off..........

We had ***** of users because of the amount of space used on their disks by unused demos.
On one hand we need users to keep free previews on their computers as it's how we can afford to distribute them freely with P2P.
On the other hand we don't want hard drives to be filled up, so we added this limit to keep the amount of data shared to a reasonable amount (2Gb).
This feature is supposed to manage only data from free previews that have been removed from iStripper but is still present on hard drives.
It should not have any impact other than deleting data that was only used for P2P.

It deletes demo's on purchased cards? That has to be a bug .. I like the demo and want to keep them.

I'll miss the unlimited previews but understand why they need to limit them but I'll hold off upgrading until they fix the deleted demo problem.

I have enabled "Delete peer to peer files from my HD when deleting previews" yet I still have some 9 GB of .demo files (!!!), which seems preposterous because I have not downloaded that many. So why aren't they being deleted by this new update? Can I safely purge this collection?

Re: This feature is supposed to manage only data from free previews that have been removed from iStripper but is still present on hard drives.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work as planned. Poor testing? I have no objection to a limit on the number of free demos on my computer, but I have a lot of disk space so "Delete peer to peer..." is OFF on my Mac.

BUG

I have my preferred resolution set to 3K but some cards are defaulting to 1080p and some do download @3K. I thopught maybe it has something to do with the preview being downloading at 1080p and that is what the show downloads at but I know for a fact that most of my previews are 3K now.

So im ***** now. What is the difference between regular previews and P2P preview data? I just checked my demos files and I have 42GBs of demos installed. I don't mind supporting the load of previews just don't want to delete files needed for P2P. Also that could be a incentive for earning credits at a nominal seed rate( Talking .001-.01 here). I have a 100/10Mbps connection and it is just sitting most of the time. Come up with a separate program from iStrippers to manage preview traffic in and out and release it on a limited scale basis to cut down on ***** if some misuses it. If ppl were getting some back I bet people would be out buying hard drives instead of worrying were a few gigabytes went to.

Sorry Rex but this does not explain why demos from purchased cards were deleted!!!
This is bought content. Promised for a lifetime!!!!
So ... how to get my payed content back????

Hi all, I have just transferred your messages to our developer. We will get back to you asap

You want your 10 second no-nudity previews back? I find that amusing. I've actually been wondering if we'd ever get a button that 'deletes all previews of downloaded purchased cards' lmfao

In any case, features like these that delete previews really should have come with a toggle option, much like the 'no hanging clips' option is also a toggle.
"We had ***** of users because of the amount of space used on their disks by unused demos." - seems to imply that this feature's decision was for QoL reasons, and not of an economic decision.

Devs, please...

Mouse select process still not fixed. It is impossible to use CNTRL or SHIFT to select the first card. It always open the card information. A trick provided by someone here (sorry memory eludes me but thanks for the work around) is to use CNTRL + click on the colection area but not a card and then ***** the mouse with the CNTRL key depressed.

Will this ongoing bug with select ever be fixed?

I recently had a PC crash and had to reload iStripper. The models directory was still intact but the information in the data directory was lost. No problem I thought when all the E/F series indicated an update was available. The data is there so there shouldn't be anything really to download. Wrong over the next 3 days my entire E/F series was downloaded again 791GB. My provider hasn't sent me a bill for being over my limit but this software is terrible at doing unnecessary downloads.

There must be a more reliable and more efficient method that could be implemented that would not perform unnecessary downloads and thus much less work for Totem servers as well.

just a saugestion for you guys that cant finde your old shows be shure to check all your fillters you might only have the new ones check marked if you want a;; your shows to show up make shure in the fillter section they all have check marks

I found an easier way. Right Click on the 1st card.
then move to the next card and either Shift click to select all in between
or Ctrl Click to select that as a 2nd card.

But the right click triggers that card as being the first selected card and Doesn't open the details view.
( oh, it doesn't highlight the card till you make the 2nd selection )

edit: Yes, it is not a fix, it is still a work around to an annoying issue...

How come i can't find any cards in the girl store or any of my previews?

As someone who has bought every single available card, and has never just downloaded previews, I must say that I am both surprised and dissapointed to discover that starting with Gloria's 'After School Tease' which was released 45 days ago it would appear that previews of this card and ALL earlier ones have been deleted from MY computer. I ad perhaps naively believed that as all my cards were bought and paid for the previews on my computer would be allowed to remain there. Evidentally NOT. Surely it should have been possible, where cards have been bought to leave the choice of retaining or deleting previews to the owner .I know that to a degree the early c;lips overlap with the free demos but, I would still like the option of playing fully cloathed girls from time to time.

Whilst in general I am very happy with Viurtuagilr and now istripper. I feel somewhat let down by the team in this matter..

@Wyldanimal

Thanks for another alternative to selecting the first card of a multicard selection. It works much better.

@Wuzthis

So glad you find it amusing that some people have lost something they actually wanted to keep.

Not lmfao

:-(

It seems Totem has acquiesced to the 1 or 2 users that aggressively ***** about the demos stored on their computers and used a sledgehammer where a scalpel was needed.

I'm happy to see my demos are still in my collection and I will leave p2p enabled in order to support the community. I would be very disappointed if my demo are removed so I will not update until this problem is fixed.

HombreSinSombra, I only have bought cards plus demos and all of them have disappeared since downloading the new software, except for the newest 44 cards. The deletion started with Gloria's high Schoolteas no 45 in my descending list. Maybe the 44 reprepresent the 2GB mmentioned and a bug in the new software has deleted all earlier demos instead of only those earlier demos that have not been supported by a paid for card.

In my case, it appears to have deleted all the demos at the point of install of 1.2.142. Obviously, at first I had no clue this had happened until I tried to open a recent demo in the featured tab (unpurchased) that I know I had already downloaded and got the warning splash screen to check level settings etc. When I checked the model folder for the card, there was just the one file left at the top, 'exxxx.vhdtrailers'. Normally the demo clips are followed by another file, 'exxxx_trailers.vhdp2p'

This is now missing from EVERY card on my system along with the demo clips, except the ones I've replaced manually or downloaded since installing the new software. I have never checked the 'Delete P2P files when deleting previews' as my drive is large enough to handle the space for quite a while yet.

Edit: After checking again, I'm left with one 'a' series card with demos and one 'c' series. The others I have are new ones since installing the software and ones I manually replaced. I must have had at least 2500 sets of demos including purchased cards. All gone now.

I'm not going to go out of my way to redownload the whole thing again. What's done is done. Let's hope this kind of thing doesn't happen again :/

@Team: Lol i am just coming from an UX training :-) Do you guys also use Design Thinking?
I let you know if my user experience improves with the new version.

@Team: Ok first impression is not bad but you can optimize one thing definitely
Take a look at the categories:
you will get in trouble if you add another one or 2 because then the list won't fit onto the screen.
Also i would suggest to group the categories
For example it never ever makes sense to select Student and secretary as no show will ever apply to both.
But it makes sense to select student and big boobs as that will give you the shows with models in ***** outfits with big boobs.
So how about splitting this into several sections like Outfit style, body profile (sorry i am sure you english native speaker know a better term) (for stuff like big boobs, shaved, small boobs etc.), clip types (cage, swing, glass) content (naked feet, anal etc)
Then the user will find it much easier to see which categories can be combined and which not.
By now i have a huge list that is sorted by alphabet, which makes it very hard to handle.
The alternative would be what you do in the Girls store just allow one category filter which would reduce the power the filter has. so my preference would be the splitting into several sections.
