Can anyone explain how to use the patch and extra content.
Regarding the i-patch:
First off, the version shared on here is the subscribestar version which comes with the patch pre-installed. Nevertheless, you still have to activate it first like dartred pointed out. Seeing as the phone isn't available upon (re)playing the introduction, you may want to activate the patch at the start of the game:

Also, if you ever encounter an error regarding the patch, read this.

You put both in side the main folder and then inside the "game" folder.

After you start up the game open your phone and move your mouse around the top left part and a light should come on, I don't remember if you want green or red its been a while since I played. AFamilyVenture 2020-10-14 07-06-08-43.jpg

Does this game have a regular update schedule or is it just one of those whenever he feels like it I'll get an update out games?

This game is the work of an amateur game developer. I have a full time job and develop this game in my free time. I have a couple guys who help me with coding and spellchecking, but they are volunteering to do it on their free time too. So a regular update schedule is pretty difficult to stick to. With the exception of the last update though, every update has taken about 3 months. So 3 months from the last update is kind of the standard I'm trying to stick to, but I can't guarantee anything.

Frustrating game. Took the advice to delete both the standard saves and those stored in app data to start over, but it's throwing name errors already.

That really sucks! I'm sorry. Hopefully DS can get the ipatch working better really soon. Just to make sure, are you installing the patch manually? Both the ipatch and the mod are already installed, and you don't have to place anything at all in your folder named "game". If you are placing anything into said folder, it will be the wrong version of the ipatch or mod and will cause all kinds of problems.

To fix it you actually only need to delete the file 'persistent' and then start over. Sadly any save made before 'persistent' gets written correctly is effectively useless (as the variables are already set).

Maybe the patch should hook itself into the menu, presenting an option to unfuck 'persistent' as well as the running game… :unsure:
