Missing Dragon's Lair location on the map with my save for some reason
Same thing happened to me. Good to know that I'm not crazy. Sadly I don't know if there is a fix other starting over
Weird and interesting. Are you using your own saves, or did you import others'? If so, did you use the .SAV file?

You need to delete the files of the savefile in appdata named: "Save 1" without .SAV type
Which will result in Dragon's Lair location being unavailable, the whole scenes from Melkor's Realm being locked again, and maybe other side effects. THE .SAV FILE HAS TO BE EDITED, CF. .

Yeah, all saves don't work. Maybe 1 more time play from start(
Still doesn't work.
Could you elaborate on what is really meant by “don't work”?

You're gonna need an EX save [from 25.2 by my experience] to continue further, after all the other Brothel scenes are unlocked, you should be able to talk to Luna about a noise [spoiler, spoiler, blah blah]
This is very intriguing. I did not check the last version as of now; I'd rather play the real deal rather than a decompiled binary. I will thus wait for it to be available on the developer's site.

Choices matter in conversations or it's just a matter of characterization?
The latter one. Though in the first conversation the MC has with Ivy, choosing the right options will result in Ivy getting naked.

Okay save help needed. I'm providing my own save and the save I edited. What did I do wrong?
So, it appears that you are having trouble counting up to 80, since you copied 79 characters, cf. below.
The full 80-character string is “f831542bb913516b813e21615e762de7df8c36172798be535d70f287105452acd995836fc0a0c173

So yeah, missing one character on your copy-paste is a sure way to screw your save real good.
Chances are that just by inserting “3” in the 80th position, the file will be OK. I cannot be 100% sure though, since it depends on how much you screwed the edition. ;)

I'm using my own save, never imported others. I noticed that it disappeared a few patches ago but never thought about it until this update where I had to go back.

So I see people wigging out about the save file here not working what you need to do is download both these posts.
Then overwrite the one save 1 from pornaddiction with the one from hentaigod (Without the filetype.sav).
Then follow this guidance from the official wiki page on how to import saves:

Open one of your own .sav file created by saving the game on the device/system you want to use the imported savegame on. (E.g. just creating a fresh save from opening the game, clicking new game and then saving first opportunity you get).
  1. Copy the first 80 characters of that file. Exactly 80 characters, from the very first character in the file.
  2. Open the .sav file of the savegame you want to import.
  3. Select the first 80 characters and paste what you copied at step 2. You are aiming at overwriting the first 80 characters of that file with the string you copied during step #2. The size of the file should remain the exact same.
  4. You're done.
tldr; make a fresh save, grab 80 characters from it e.g. "Save 1.sav", copy it into the imported save replacing the first 80 characters from the imported save with your fresh save data (NOT ADDING IT ON, BUT REPLACING). Then save and it all works.
Also I am unwilling to assist any further since, it's all laid out for you above. good luck.

Full Gallery Save for v0.27.1:

View attachment 2438349

Installation: Place extracted folder in Users/USERNAME/AppData/Local

I really wish Mirthal would move the multi-character scenes to their own section in the gallery. One of the new scenes of this update is literally in 5 different sections of the gallery with no differences at all.

EDIT: The save should now be fixed. Thank you HentaiGod609 I had no fucking clue what was happening.
The save file had around 100 "dung_encounter[0]="0="" lines, once you delete those lines the save works. Here's the fixed save.

Literally made a fresh save in slot 2, opened the .sav file in notepad, copied 80 chars using the notepad counter number to ensure it is indeed 80 chars. Swapped pornaddictions non .sav Save 1 with hentaigod's, Opened the Save 1.sav from pornaddiction in notepad, selected 80 characters using the counter to check, pasted save 2 80 chars over save 1.sav 80 chars.

Still getting load issues.

Hitting ignore naturally spawns more errors on the error window.

EDIT: OK, for anyone still stuck. Copying the contents of the non .sav file from HentaiGod to YOUR non .sav file works but some entries in the journal are still locked, so technically still not working as intended.

EDIT2: Ignore the above - if using notepad, you have to copy one extra char so copy till it says 81 not 80 then paste the same length into the .sav. Can confirm it works. Notepad counts the starting point of your cursor as 1 not 0.

Ah. If you don't have the .SAV file anymore, then this is the reason why Dragon Lair is not visible. In order to get it back, you may want to duplicate another .SAV from another one of your save, if you have another one not too far in the questline. Else, you may want to grab one from a save posted on the forum, using the 80-character replacement trick.

Precisely the reason why the wiki mentions that one should copy exactly 80 characters.Why people keep thinking that they did everything right and the saves are wrong is beyond my understanding. -_-'

Understandable but the issue isn't "people are dumb", different editors count characters differently. The same way arrays can be 0 indexed where they start at 0 not 1 so you have to count 0 as 1. Notepad in this instance starts counting characters at one when you haven't highlighted a character hence why people were doing what the wiki said i.e. counting to 80 but missing the trick that they need to add the extra 1 character in to make it computationaly and technically 80 rather than visually just going off the count number being displayed.

Restarted a new save and I'm having trouble unlocking the extra group scenes of the brothel workers and I'm not sure who the final character is. The exact scenes I'm missing are
  1. Amber's last 2
  2. Luna's last 1
  3. Kiki's last 2
  4. Maen & Sa's last 2
  5. Bulgra's last 2
  6. Whoever the portrait on the right of Miza is

Not sure what exactly I'm missing but I've read a bunch of guides and the wiki on it and can't seem to find any "heart" icon or button near Kiki at any time of the day and the last character isn't on the wiki.

I've already unlocked Ivy and Scarlet's threesome scene, completed Amber's storyline to transition her to a new job and Miza has already left the brothel. Any ideas?

I still have my save 1.file and save 1.sav in the Aurelia folder.
Very much interesting, thanks for clarifying that – I was under the impression that you someone lost the “.sav” file.
Unfortunately, I don't have a clue what the problem might be with using your save. :(
Workaround: use someone else's save, that they gave shortly after the version you last played was released?

Well, I have to disagree: “Copy exactly 80 characters” means “copy exactly 80 characters” (surprise!), not “copy about 80 characters”. Extending your “array” metaphor: count(array) will always return the number of elements within the array, no matter the number attributed to its first position. Here, the problem is that most people seem to have a hard time understanding that position 80 is actually before the 80th character, not after. It's not that “people are dumb”; it's more that “people think they understand [how to copy exactly 80 characters] when they actually don't – and after they fail at it, they will complain that all saves are broken instead of triple-checking that they are doing everything right”. I don't know, they could, for instance… hmmm, let's see… They could actually fucking count the number of characters they copied, with their own eyes and brain. Counting up to 80 is not that hard, is it? FWIW, I took some time to update the wiki so as to emphasize yet even more (because it already was) that the important thing is to actually count 80 characters. Anyone is free to contribute to the wiki if they so desire: feel free to make it better!
Lastly, for the sake of curiosity: would you name just one text editor for which the first position (i.e., cursor at the very beginning of the file, before the 1st character) is not 1? I'm curious.

Amber's, Luna's and Ki-ki are extra scenes, that you are missing; the others appear to be new scenes as of v.0.27.1.
It's a little fuzzy as of now, because there were several, different feedbacks about how to get access to the harpy in the attic; as I understand things right now, you might be needing to have played those extra scenes in order to access the harpy. As for me, I just launched v.0.27.1, loaded my last save (performed on v.0.26, itself based on v.0.25.2-EX + 0.25.2-DUNGEON); I got to the Brothel and talked to Luna, who immediately told me about some noise in the attic – just as I expected she would. Seems quite unusual, though, that some “extra” content is a prerequisite for the player to get access to some regular content. Mirthal, I suppose I am not getting this correctly?

In any case: in order to be able to unlock “extra” scenes, you will have to play an “extra” version of Aurelia – which 0.27.1 is not (it is just a plain regular version). The last “extra” version was “0.25.2-EX”.

Tonc Launching v0.27.1 then loading my own save, Dragon Lair was still there on the map, accessible as before. I really don't know what is the problem you're facing, here.

This erasing-80-characters-thing is a workaround needed because of the way the game is currently handling the “.sav” file. Mirthal recently indicated that this behaviour would change in the near future, so you may want to wait some more. In case you don't feel so inclined: Chances are that you are not performing the actions described in the wiki correctly. Most often than not, people are copying the first 79 characters of their own save, then they erase the first 79 characters of someone else's save, resulting in an incorrect .sav file. You may want to triple-check that.
In case you still don't have any success, please provide the 3 following “.sav” files: one from a save performed on your own system, the resulting one after you performed the erasing-80-characters-thing and, optionally, the one from the save you want to use.

You don't need those scenes to access the harpy (Miza) as I got her without any issues on 0.27.1 with a new save file, but thank you for telling me about version 0.25.2 EX.

Downloading that extra version did let me trigger the group scenes with the brothel girls. I appreciate the help.
