Saves Still Crashing

Mestev

Hello Dyn! Not sure if someone mention this but the Teacher ID card pic is now missing in Coach Harold route and the ID number you need to type in to continue is not list in the guide. Thus putting at stop to the play though. I would post this in the bug page if I could find said page. Cheers!

Darius just...seems to have a wizard's punctuality. Arrives precisely when needed or wants to. I was laughing like Kira from Death Note.

Hi Dyne. I'm having the problem with saves also (pc user). This is happening with all my saves from 1.104 (all Darius after previously deleting all saves). Checked through the comments here and tested everything suggested. A pattern seem to be getting is that from 1.103 onwards saves loaded from the build they were created in seem to work fine. But saves loaded from other builds cause the error to happen again, at least for me. Unfortunately I have very little programming knowledge so I'm not sure how helpful this is, but I wanted to report my findings.

Hello Dyn! I've been fine with saves thus far but, given the recent art updates and now that characters have different facial reactions on all days, I have actually just started a fresh game with each update. I know this doesn't help diagnose the issues but at least I wanted to tell you for some folks having to start over isn't a big deal. Also, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE DAY 33!! The expressions made me lose it! I won't say anymore because I don't want to spoil it.

I think for me it might be the beta OS I’m on, but I actually had one corrupt save effect my other’s when I tried to load them. It loaded the right day ( I think it was 22 or something) of chester’s line, but it was playing out the scene when you first get to the convention. I got about three dialogs in when the whole game crashed when trying to load an option. Then my iMac froze and I had to do a power cycle. Haven’t tried saving since that. I did an entire run for Darius without saving or exiting the game at all.

Thanks for the feedback! This kinda plays into what I just updated my post about too, so it seems it's a possible issue with how I handled some previous builds.

DyneWulf

Hah, I use the 4th folder for Darius also x3 Thanks for the info though! Glad some people aren't having issues at least! What system are you playing on too?

Dyne Just went back to check with update 1.104 saves I had restarted all routes again. Deleted saves in rempy folder also. I did Harold Then Chester there were no problems . Started Darius with update 1.105. Darius works fine up to day 16 were im at. Harold and Chester saves have problems, from 1.104 earlier day saves some work some don't. from about day 19 onward's both work fine.

Hey Dyne, was getting the problem using some saves from 1.104 so started darius again with 1.105 I'm on day 16 so far no problems with saves, I put in the new update last night saved the old 1.105 as 1.105a and started up latest update and the errors started some saves worked others didnt. so I've just deleted new 1.105 and renamed old 1.105a folder back to 1.105 and started the game and loaded last save file and everything works again. If that helps.

DyneWulf

Thank you for the willingness to help! This issue is really frustrating for me, cause I hate for it to be causing trouble for people x3

If you need any more information just tell me. I'm really enjoying your vn so it's the least I can do to help

DyneWulf

Argh. The file is there on my old build, but not on the one I just made. I deleted it on the old one, and it worked fine after that... I'll have to try something else it seems.

It's the last day of Darius' route so that should be day 28 and there is no such file. There seems to be only a few days/files for the days to begin with

DyneWulf

What day is crashing for who when you try loading? Whatever day it is, can you check your 'game' folder and see if there is an RPYC file that matches that Day/Person crashing? (It would just be something like Day28_Darius.rpyc if Darius Day 28 is what is causing the crash on load) If there is, make a backup copy of that file somewhere else, then delete that file and try loading your save again.

For me the error persists unfortunately

About 1.104 build save files during Darius route. I save the game at the beggining of each day so I can go back if I am not 100% happy with the choices I've made. I've tried loading all of them, one by one, day by day, and they all work like a charm. About the error code I got. Just forget about it. Never happened again so probably it's not important. Sorry I bothered you with that. Anyway I kept the traceback file just in case, I'll DM it to you later.

OH! just in case, i was using the 4th folder of saves for the new saves i did with the route.

I haven't had any problems with Darius route, or his saves really. I haven't had a chance to play for a while, and i just started playing again last night. Downloaded the knew build and played the route from the top, and made several saves along the way, all new. They all load normally, and the scenes and the story run smoothly too. (also great job with both story and the pics too XD.) So, yeah, no problem from my end really, but also like i said, i literally just started the whole route with this build.

DyneWulf

Bahaha, is that so? Darius is proving to be a real hit-and-miss case right now... That error code is an interesting one, cause normally, I wouldn't even be able to make a build if that was happening. Did it only happen once?

DyneWulf

Thank you! I can't seem to find any rhyme or reason as to why some work and some don't, but I miiiiight have fixed part of the issue for now. We'll have to wait and see, haha.

Hey Dyne. Don't know if this helps, but just in case: · All save files I did while replaying Darius route in 1.104 build are working 100% with 1.105 build. · I got this error message when opening the game (first time after donwloading latest update): While running game code: ScriptError: Name (u'game/Gallery.rpy', 1596473743, 154157) is defined twice, at Gallery.rpyc:5 and game/Gallery.rpy:5. The error log is way longer, too long to post it here, but maybe I can send it to you somehow if you think it might be helpful. I'm using Windows 10 Home V1903.

Some save points in several routes seem safe. For me, with Dozer it was Day 15; for Darius, Day 10, for Chester, Day 28. Haven't found one for Spencer and haven't tried Coach. Hope that helps. Thank you for your hard work, and thank you addressing this issue.

DyneWulf

Trust me, I know. Just have backup saves in case one crashes.

I was just about to post something. I thought I was the only one. Hopefully next update will have this fixed. Cause it is a pain to start all over for a 3rd time
