how do i continue from my last save from the end of episode 9? I keep getting an error when i load my save and it just takes me to the start of episode 9
How shall we know why your save game does not work?
I installed v0.10.1 and played 6 times through it (for all the variations) without a single error ...
If you want help you should provide more details about playing, updates, mods ...
If you cannot load the save game, then it is likely broken. This may happen if you save with one version of the game and load with another version. Mods may break saves ...
Make sure that you do not confuse importing a save from Ep8 with loading a save from Ep9.

My advice :
Best check your installation of v0.10.1, maybe do a complete reinstall and play Ep9 again.
Note that v0.10.1 is a separate game, so it needs its own folder. It is not an update of v0.8.3.
With Episode 9 you mean the Halloween Party or the California Surf story of Zoey (Interlude)?
You have to import a save game from end of Episode 8 to play "Interlude+Episode 9+Episode 10". You have to play the Interlude once but you can skip it in later playthroughs.
You will have to play 5 or more times through Ep9+10 anyway to see all the stories on the 5 different paths. So my advice would be to
- check your installation (Ep1-8 in one folder, Interlude + Ep9+10 in a different folder),
- restart your playthrough from the ep8 save,
- skip the Interlude and
- play ep9 again.
