I have been on the beta for some time and I switch almost daily because there is a feature of the new version that makes it difficult for me to QA the upcoming shows so I flick back to 378 to do my QA work 😉

I think that's a fair price to pay for the privilege to see all future cards earlier than the rest of us 😜 👍

One ***** thing I noticed with beta: I have all special event cards but (under "My Collection" and "Special Event Cards") most of them don't have the "star indicator" signifying that they are SEC. I have SEC sorted by card number, and only the first three e-series cards have the star (e0863...e1321) and only the first six f-series cards (f0406...f0567).

Support by Microsoft for Windows 7 ended in January 2020.

It is just not economically viable for companies like Totem to continue to provide versions that can run on such outdated software.

I won't upgrade my system just because Totem decided Windows 7 is too outdated for their product. I have too many softwares I still need to use that won't work in Windows 10. So for me there's only 1 solution, iStripper v1.2.378 will be my last version until it stops working with Totem's system. After that "Bye Bye Totem.

I wouldn't be surprise that half of iStripper members run on "outdated systems" such as Windows 7 or 8.

@Dfner - I have just been looking through my collection where my SECs and cards are sorted by date of purchase - and I have checked the first (newest) 15 SECs down to Tatiana Coco and all of those have the star showing on them in My Collection. I haven't checked the rest yet - it is a bit of a slog

Curious.....😉

Like @pickle1 all of my 32 SECs have their gold stars clearly visible.

I haven't downloaded this new beta version. And I plan to wait, and don't know if I will. I'm not convinced of the real improvement of these changes.

I saw the video clips from @Wyldanimal.

But there was no skin showing on those clips.

Is it possible for those who tried this version to still see (as in my version 1.2.360) what was the image behind our icon and the credits of my old version. (I think among others of the eyes of the girls of the PictureBoy skins?)

I think it's a pity that the carousels disappeared, it was a nice way to see the models, which unfortunately were not updated anymore, except for the new ones.

It's also a shame not to see a 64bit version.


Je n'ai pas téléchargé cette nouvelle version beta. Et je compte attendre, et ne sais pas si je vais le faire. Je ne suis pas convaincu des réelles améliorations de ces changements.

J'ai vu les extraits vidéo de @Wyldanimal.

Mais il n'y avait pas de skin apparant sur ces extrraits.

Est-il possible pour ceux qui ont essayé cette version de voir encore (comme dans ma version 1.2.360) ce qu'il y avait comme image derrière notre icône et les crédits de mon ancienne version. (Je pense entres autres aux yeux des filles des skins de PictureBoy ?)

Je trouve dommage la disparition des carousels, c'était une belle façon de voir les modèles, qui malheureusement n'étaient plus mis à jour, sauf pour les nouveautés.

Dommage aussi de ne pas voir une version 64bit.

Like @pickle1 all of my 32 SECs have their gold stars clearly visible.

Strange... I have synchronised with servers a couple of times, closed and quit the software, and still the same thing. I have 51 SEC and 9 of them have those stars in the corners. 42 of them look like regular cards.

Of course this is not important, just a curious thing the developers might want to know about. Probably will be corrected for me, too, later.

Skins still work.

I appreciate that the cards are larger in Models individual page, they look good, accept they have been defaced by the "In my collection" banner across all of them. Why can't the cards just be separated into 2 categories with "In my collection" only having to be mentioned once.

@Dfner - can you find some way to screen print what you are seeing and send us a link to the print (or post it on Discord)?

@pickle1

I just posted a screen cap of this issue on Discord:
https://discord.com/channels/709339443777110026/890605069324664863

Skins still work.

Not all of them.

They have changed something so that the colours defined in the Pallet.txt file are not the same.

I have at least one skin where the menu bar text is not visible because the background is not dark (but it is dark in the current non-beta version).

I am also having difficulty with some of the text in the forums in some skins.

Some still appear to work OK - but not all of them.

I need to work out what has changed but I don't have the time at the moment. Hopefully it will be fixed,

I think it's a pity that the carousels disappeared, it was a nice way to see the models

I whole-heartedly agree,

I had always hoped that some day we would be able to define our own carousels - perhaps as a way of displaying the contents of a short playlist (or even a long one with girls getting on and off the carousel at its furthest point).

At times I used to use them as a kind of roulette game by holding down a left or right arrow key to make the carousel spin rapidly, releasing the key and then playing the card that came to the front.

@Dfner

custom card images, do not get stickers such as the SEC star applied to them.
It looks like you have some of your cards using a custom card image that already has the Logo on it.

Actually, taking a 2nd look, all of your SEC cards look like it's a custom card image with the Logo and Star included as part of the card image, and not a sticker.

your cards with a Star, the Star is shown to the right side at the top. ( a custom card image?)
Where on a non-custom card image, Only the Star is applied to the top left of the card.

Or it could be a custom Skin Issue.
What Skin are you using?
Does the Skin have a cards/watermarks subfolder?
this is where the Logo and Star Stickers come from.

Bummer!

I downloaded and installed this beta version.
I get a "DesktopWare / Istripper has stropped working" message.
I tried this a few times and every time is the same.

Version 12376 still works for me.
Something has changed that makes i impossible for me to use this version. It may be totally incompatible with Windows 8.1

I will write about this and send screenshots in the discord beta thread.

@Guillaume

Hi, can you please do the following: Install the new beta but don't launch it. Go into your data folder (by default, C:/Users/[your_user]/AppData/vghd/data) and find "vghd.log" and remove it. Launch iStripper. Wait for it to crash and note the exact time. Go into Windows "Event Viewer" and see if you can see anything related to iStripper at that time (most probably in the "Windows Logs => Applications" section). Send me (e.g. via Manue at the support or directly on discord if you're using it) your vghd.log, anything you may have noticed in the Windows Events Viewer, as well as the exact time the crash happened (please include your time zone with it) so I can take a look at it on our end.
Thank you very much

Thanks Guillaume

I've messaged you on discord with the logs etc from when it failed for me last night.

In my above message 'stropped' should be 'stopped'.

Je trouve dommage la disparition des carousels, c'était une belle façon de voir les modèles, qui malheureusement n'étaient plus mis à jour, sauf pour les nouveautés.

Oser virer le carroussel alors qu'IMO c'était la seule pièce qui apportait de la vie à l'interface et qui me rappelait la présentation des miss dans les maisons de tolérances.

P.S. Pas de mise à jour pour moi 👎😕

The strange thing is that there are no custom card images for any of my SEC. My only custom pictures in the ../vghd/data-directory are for deleted shows in my collection (***** O'Fee, Nikky Case...). All the SEC-cards have regular card image without the added layers of "iStripperXXX" / "iStripper" or the star-symbol, and they are named simply e1387.jpg, e1416.jpg (these two examples being the first e-series SEC in my collection missing the star-symbol).

I even named the card image on vghd/data/e1387-folder to "xe1387.jpg --> then closed and quit the software and opened it again --> synchronised with server. And still the card image shows as before even though it is named differently.

A few minutes later I noticed that e1387.jpg was downloaded to the above folder (so that there is now both e1387.jpg and xe1387.jpg). These cards are identical and in software it still shows without the star-symbol. The "new" e1387.jpg was therefore just downloaded from somewhere and it still has no effect on the issue.

Quite a head scratcher... But I think this is something not to get too stuck with. Whenever the new final version of the software is released, this probably is already fixed and if not, I'll bring it up again.

omg!!!!!!!!!!!! this is so cool.👍😵😵😵

@Dfner

Or it could be a custom Skin Issue.
What Skin are you using?

this is where the Logo and Star Stickers come from.

@Wyldanimal

I was using a skin called "Belka - Booty in Leather", but switching back to basic skin didn't correct the issue, even after quitting iStripper and starting again after that change. Also, that particular skin doesn't have watermarks sub-folder. The whole content of that skin folder is this:

• cards (folder that only includes file "hidden_cards.png")
• description.txt
• desktop.jpg
• img_left.jpg
• palette.txt
• skinThumbnail.png

Dfner, that may be a problem.
I cannot even use the new version. Still using 12376.

However, in my folder "C:\xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\SexyGirls\data\skins\iStripper\basic\cards\watermarks", there are twenty folders and twenty files for a total of forty items.

note: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is not my real computer user name but replaces a folder that I created specifically for all files I get from the internet or create.

Odd that installing the new version did not get back the missing files and folders.

@JonC001

Thanks for that information! I have also a folder "...vghd\data\skins\basic\cards\watermarks" for the basic skin, and also 20 folders + 20 files in it. All the subfolders in "...vghd\data\skins\basic\cards\watermarks" have last edit date in Windows Explorer as May 17th 2023 (probably because I just switched to that) and all the 20 image files in that folder have last edit date as November 8th 2022.

Some of the 20 image files are named as *exclu.png, *star.png and *etoile.png. Those are the ones containing the star with iS or iS xxx -logos. Why the software doesn't use them for all SEC, I don't know...

EDIT: for what it's worth, I reverted back to 1.2.360 and the same issue remains (regardless of the skin I select, as I tested with a few). I don't know / remember if that issue was there before updating to the new beta. Maybe I had just missed that OR maybe it appeared because of the update... but why it only affects some of the SEC (and curiously just the first ones of the e- and f-series) and not all, is interesting.

I did notice that this new UI has a lot in common with vixen networks. Might just the way websites are organized today but I hope there is more collab between the more popular porn sites and istripper to get more diversity of models.

Thanks for this, helpful to see the new stuff 👍

I hope users will get a warning when all older versions will be discontinued and no longer usable. I do not want to continue paying for a website (subscription and/or new cards) when I can no longer see (download, play) the cards.

I whole-heartedly agree,

I had always hoped that some day we would be able to define our own carousels - perhaps as a way of displaying the contents of a short playlist (or even a long one with girls getting on and off the carousel at its furthest point).

At times I used to use them as a kind of roulette game by holding down a left or right arrow key to make the carousel spin rapidly, releasing the key and then playing the card that came to the front.

Yes, it was something dynamic in the program, which could have been better exploited and improved.

There are some useful and pleasant program options that disappear in the updates, and I find this deplorable.

I would be surprised if a large number of people in the survey about changes to the program asked for the disappearance of the carousels.

Even the appearance of the giants by mistake was comical.


Oui c'était quelquechose de dynamique dans le programme, et qui aurait pu être mieux exploité et amélioré.

Il y a des options du programme utlies et agréables qui disparaissent dans les mises à jour, et je trouve cela déplorable.

Je serait surpris qu'un grand nombre de personnes dans le sondage sur les changements au programme, aient demandé la disparition des caroussels.

Même l'apparition des géantes par erreur, était comique.

@Dfner

I made this video with you in mind, but it is for anyone who is having a similar issue.

1) check your registry setting to find out where the app thinks your Data folder is.
it might be different than the one you are looking at.
https://www.istripper.com/customdata/forum/2023-05-18/ceTTWTG6.png

2) there are 6 .png images used to put the star sticker on the cards.
so you need to check all 6 images are the correct ones.
https://www.istripper.com/customdata/forum/2023-05-18/MeqrWFb6.png

in the basic folder
the images should only be the orig. ones.

in a skin folder
you can place custom images to use.
if you change the basic images
then it changes them for Every Skin that doesn't include custom images.
