You seem an intelligent person. Surely you realize my comment about importing saves is an unavoidable problem if you wish to continue the game without using the path builder, which is not only bugged but broken. While the person you were speaking with did not currently have a save that is not a condition that will endure past the point when they first save the game. There is, unfortunately, no assurance that the dev will ever implement the ability to import saves, so it is not only possible but probable that the original version, all 16 GB of it, will remain a dead end.Import what saves? The guy has never played the game before, he'll HAVE to play the original to get the whole story. Version 2 starts near the end of the original, when they return back from Europe and the content leading up to going to Europe and Europe itself is huge! So if he never played the game, he'll HAVE to play the original and then wait for the save game ability to be implemented. No real choice in the matter.
Personally, I think they should ditch the new buggy, incompatible, code and version 2 and just put out a patch with the story that happens after 15.1.0. I had zero problems replaying 15.1.0 a few times over, no real bugs that I noticed. Unlike the many crashes with critical exceptions in version 2! Man, I have actually created my own video game, not a visual novel, though I am working on one, but one I programmed from scratch in C that wasn't this buggy. I would replay my own game myself with different conditions to make sure it worked. It did have the odd bug, but they were always obscure where out of the millions of downloads my game got, only one or two people experienced it. I won't say what game it was, except it was a free game I originally made for my late wife. Saying the name will give away my real name.![]()
All that said, I hope that you are right and that they find a solution other than this second version. While I appreciate that it comes in at a skinny 5GB the problems it has may not be worth the squeeze. Another game I play, Single Again, ended up doing something very similar to what you have said because their attempt at a Chapter 2 had too many problems. Backtracking and adding to the original version ended up being their only option.
