Saves Still Crashing (Patreon)

So...!

After poking around with Reggie and Medwyn, it's been a real chore trying to pinpoint what the exact issue is since my update didn't seem to correct the issue, BUT... a likely culprit might be something I did back in 1.103's update in regards to how Ren'Py archives files.

I seems likely that saves from 1.103 and 1.104 might break (and they might work!  It's hit and miss...) due to what I did then.  The update I ran earlier today in an attempt to fix the problem might very well have fixed the issue.

BUUUUT....

This also means that folks might have to start their file over again if they can't load correctly.  It's really hard to figure this out or even test for it since it seems to be so random with who's encountering it and who's not, and when it's happening.

For best results, I'd start fresh files on 1.105 (the one I uploaded earlier today) and keep several saves throughout the play.

I won't really know if this is a guaranteed fix just yet, so if anyone downloads 1.105 and plays through to the end and finds success (or failure) with saving/restarting/loading... let me know!  Otherwise, I might not know more until I launch 1.106 and see what happens with saves there.

Again, I'm sorry for an inconvenience, folks!  

---------------------------------------------------------------------

There appears to be some other problem with save files crashing.  It doesn't happen for me when I do my usual testing, but if I play from the builds I create, the crashes occur.

It's just not happening on every file though, so it's making it harder to figure what's causing it.

Not everyone will experience this either.  When I started my Darius route over for testing, I saved several times along the way, and 3/5 of my files don't load now VIA the stand-alone build (but they work fine from my Ren'Py launcher), and they are from various places through his route.Until we can figure out what's causing this, I really suggest having several save points for each character just in case (you have plenty of save slots for it!)

Please keep in mind, this is still a work in progress, and hiccups like this should be expected, especially when there are major overhauls.  I'm really sorry about the inconveniences.

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

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.

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.

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.

For me the error persists unfortunately

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.

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.

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.

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! 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!
