We tried several times and each time the camera images were without problems. Are you sure the bug fix is installed correctly? Do you use a compressed version of the game?
I have NEVER used the compressed version of any game and yes, I did drop those files in the game folder. were they meant to go somewhere else?

What's the point of him leaving in a friendship path? lol
I don't know what the story will be, but it was said that also on that path things will end badly for either Eric or Max.

The point ... having only one story to write and develop.
Having two storylines - one with Eric and one without - has been a lot of trouble and hardly worth it, since most people don't want him around in the first place. And you can even do a bargain with him, so he won't go after all the girls, causing even more variations.
That means that there's a lot of work for an aspect of the game that only a minority of the players is interested in to begin with.
Having different paths is hard enough in visual novels, in a game like this one it's development hell, espescially for a small development team (after all it's still basically a one man project, even if some of the guys here help with testing and translations).

In this case, more research is needed because I myself tested at least 14 to 15 times and each time Ann was in the room. I will tell you the answer later

what does finding the cookies do, exactly? I understand we get different clothing, are they ... lacy or rather silly (Santa)? Can someone pls post a preview?
You get the girls in different stages of undress with different outfits, depending on what cookies you find in game. Here's a preview:

I had the same problem when I deleted the persistent file. Just press ignore and change the language, so that it matches the language of the save. After that, restart the game.

The description file in the savegame says that it was created with game version "0.07.p2.00", meaning that the latest bug fix is not installed.
Today, I downloaded it TWICE and installed it once before asking for help and after.

You need
a) the uncompressed version from one of the 4 links on page 1 (not the torrent link for the compressed version).
and
b) the bugfix/patch
https://f95zone.to/threads/big-brot...-03-fix-aleksey90.43101/page-611#post-6242983

Then you follow the instructions what to do with the patch.

Then you start the game and see if it shows the right game version. If it doesn't, you did something wrong.

ps: Always do a clean install, do NOT just unpack a new game version to the old game directory.
Only keep your savegames (and screenshots if you made any) from your previous game version.

I just downloaded the (supposedly) Version: 0.07.p2.03 fix from the first page, what I got came out as Version 2.00, explain that. I also downloaded a 007.p2.03 fix for it.

There is no 0.07.p2.03 Version link on page 1. It shows 0.07.p2.00

And yes, that's why you need to download the patch in addition to this file.

Then you first unpack the full game into an empty directory and then apply the patch following the instructions in the post that has the patch as attachment.
If you did it correctly, the game version looks like this:

Last but not least - if you want the extra content - you also download the extra patch from page 1 and apply it the same way.

That is EXACTLY what I did and I still wind up with 0.07.p2.00.Also the ttle on page 1 says "
Big Brother: Another Story [v0.07.p2.03 fix] [Aleksey90]
implying that the fix is in the game download,(which it isn't as we know.)

I just did it again and the damned thing came up as 007.p203, I have no idea why though.

It says that the game version currently available from this site is v0.7.p2.3 and nothing more.
The description right beside the downloads( Win/Linux (v0.07.p2.00): ) tells you what's included in the download, that's what the description of the download is for. It doesn't imply anything, it just tells you what you get when you click one of the links right beside the description.

I don't know what you are doing wrong. It works for everyone else including me. Maybe you forgot to unpack the patch?

Eric needs to have the option to stay and be updated just like all of the other events with a friendship AND enemy path. If you choose to get rid of him, you can. If you choose to keep him around, you can do that too. After he left in the original game, I stopped playing it. It got boring and was just like every other game then. Eric always made sure that Max had a challenge to have to deal with. When that challenge went away, the game just turned into a grinding estrogen fest.

Please keep Eric. :cool:
