You can move your old save games to a separate folder or simply rename the save game folders if you want to keep them for future use.
Ren'Py games usually have 2 folders with save games :
1. C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\BeingaDIK...
2. game\saves
You should remove the incompatible files from both folders.
Usually it's good to keep the "persistent" files, but in case of a modded game they might be broken, too.

To start anew, simply rename both save folders. The game will create new empty folders.
Since it will likely take 1-2 weeks (or more?) until episode 5 hits, it is a good time to replay the game from start.
(If you disable mini-games, it will be easier.)

most of my saves were made with a clean version and they are working. i just have to replay the end of chapter 4.

I could spend Fridays evenining worse, drink beer and listen to .
Could you imagine DPC games without music? neither could I.
CUM-petition! You might want to listen to the next track too (which I believe is the 2nd part of the song) to complete the experience.

For the most part I agree, though being less dark than Acting Lessons is a very low bar to clear.

That said, I do worry we are letting where we WANT the story to go cloud our judgement over where it will go. The narrative digressions about Bella and doors in Episode 3 are certainly ominous, and there's no shortage of other topics that could take a grim turn if DPC wanted them to.

I don't expect anything as crazy as, say, Maya to accidentally gun down Jill when Quinn finally drives her over the edge. But I could definitely see things like Maya being forced to withdraw from college and stuck under her father's thumb, or Sage taking the fall to protect the HOTs. Things that, even if we could avoid some of them, would still leave a very bittersweet taste when all is said and done.

Really, it comes down to whether this is a genuine lighthearted farce, or if it's only pretending to be one to amplify the shock when the real world intrudes on our fun. I'm certainly hoping for the former, but I can't rule out the latter until we get much closer to the ending.
Unless players got distracted by Jill's underboobs in the intro, she did warn us about how this game might affect us. Unlike Mass Effect 3, our actions do have consequences.

I do hope that the next episode comes soon. DPC is awesome at story telling. I played Dik before Acting Lessons and oh boy what that a quick in the balls! Completly different stories....but hey...Dik is not yet finished but i hope it doesn't have such a heavy take like AL. The characters are funny and all have their special traits...and some of the parts does take me back several years when i was in university (drinking games are allways quite fun right?). Quinn, or as i call her "The Queen Bitch" is a evil yet lovable character to be around. Camilla is quite a sexbomb and Sage...well..she is red so that is allways self explaining! Maya and Josy are cute and sweet....i'm happy that my first ending was with both of them. Isabella is the hot woman in the campus that anyone would love to get their hands on. Jill is fun but honestly a bit dull for me...at least for now but who knows! What about Derek? That one is hillarious...the gender equality classes are some have some of the best comedies moments i saw in VN's!

Dik is not only a click, click, click and get to the "fun part" game. It's enjoyable reading it...knowing the characters and having some laughs. See you guys at the end of Hell's Week!
It's as if you've read my mind and wrote the same things I was thinking. :LUL: :illuminati: :WeSmart:

I haven't thought on how MC and Derek are going to end up becoming DIKs since we didn't egg the preps, someobdy said it was possible Derek egged them alone but I don't think so, I hope they get something of a second chance since the same DIKs acknowledge Hell Week is too hard for only 2 maggot sons.

Here's an idea:

Many of you Acting Lessons fans are expecting some sort of dark twist.

What if the twist is that Sage absolutely refuses to be more than fuck buddiess with the MC, and there is no way to move beyond that?


Episode 4 seemed to set up an eventual scene where, after sex in her dorm, Sage will tell MC he can stay in her bed overnight.

But what if that scene never comes? What if, in the final episode, Sage chooses to stay with Chad and is dismissive when MC tries to point out all that they've done together?

MC: "You're moving to Los Angeles with Chad? But what about...about..."

Sage "About what? I've told you a dozen times, it was just sex. I NEVER had any romantic interest in you."

This might be a stupid question but is the new update compatible with the steam version or do i have to download the patreon version and play the game from the start before the update?

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.

Steam and Patreon versions are incompatible. You can't one's saves for the other. So yes you need to download Patreon version prior to the update.

Or you can wait for the full version of Episode 5 and download the whole version at once. It's your choice really.

Sorry If I posted a lot of things here that might have been discussed before. I'm just an over-excited fanboi who is late to the party and cannot get enough of the game.

I don't think you need the clean version or wait for the latest scrappy mod to play episode 5
All you need is to download and extract the full 8+ gb binary rpas and install the scrappy mod rpys and files(excepet update4.rpy)
you will unlock all the modded saves and also use cheats to edit scores
Obviously people can download the full game if they want to, but not everyone has fast enough internet to download it in a matter of minutes, so the 2GB update patch is easier and quicker for a lot of people, hence why it's being done this way in the first place.

For those who want to just get this update patch, then it is entirely necessary to get a clean version in order for it work.

Could totally see this happening. Not the "running away with Chad" part, but the "we'll never be more than FWB" part. That still might be OK with some, but I'd imagine that most of those on the Sage train would be disappointed not to have anything more.

What if MC refuses to even be a fuck-buddies with Sage because he discovered his "other" side so next month he's moving to SF with Chad.
What a turn of events that would be.:oops:

Nah, San Fran is clearly Sage's Bay (Bae) area.
And that bae is going to be the MC (Unless the dev loves disappointment)

The soundtrack is on YT? Oh wow. Strip Club and party tracks reminds a lot of something Hardwell would have done. Damn, even the main theme is dope. DPC quality makes BADIK way beyond than just a porn adult game.

So... basically what M&J do in ep4 if you only want to follow a path with just one of them? Anyway, I doubt that will happen. The dark twist is definetely regarding Bella and also the drug ring. Maybe, just maybe... DPC scratched the dark twist and will do a total American Pie game
