maybe a stupid question but, why all cracked versions are for chapter 4?
My guess is you played chapter 4 and left the command prompt window with the miniserver open. Each cracked version comes with it's own miniserver pointing to the index.html file in the game directory.
can anyone help? everything seems to be skipping cant really view the scenes for ch 9. text speed is on normal and i havent touched skip either.
Sadly, you don't have to touch skip at all since any left mouse click throws the game into hyper skip mode. You can only left click on choices. After that, you need to use the spacebar to advance the dialog.
When I start the game vs 0.9, for some reason the load button is disabled for me. My chapter 8 exported file is in the same directory. Any suggestion?
For me, I run the start.bat file, the game launches in Firefox, (my default browser) and I
1) get a page with the important information about playing online vs. downloading with a continue to click, then
2) a page with D and K at the beach with a start button. When I click the start button,
3) a Love-Joint.com video plays and I end up on
4) another page with important information about saving your game and how it picks up again, with a continue to click.
5)Then I get to a page of D and K in a booth at the bar with some text about how It detected I have not previously played Chapter 8 and a small box that says Browse under the text Load a Backup File. I click there and load my DFD_Chapter_8_Backup.dat file and the game restarts.
Steps 1-4 repeat exactly the same way. Step 5 is different. Still D and K in a booth but now the MC's name is displayed, and the gear and the wrench, and a new game and load game button. Since I haven't played chapter 9 yet, the load game is disabled and I can only select new game. But if I had an exported ch 9 backup I could go to the gear and restore my backup by oddly enough, hitting backup data. If I were to do that, the game would restart again and go through steps 1-4 exactly the same way and now I would have the ability to load a save file. There are 72 save slots available to you each chapter, all which can be renamed.
But I haven't played chapter 9 yet so I need to hit new game. Before I do, I can hit the wrench to check the relationship status of the young woman who lives with the MC and make sure it matches what I did in chapter 8. Then I play and save and load like normal until I get to the end and I select main menu and the game offers me a chance to export my game state before it gets lost in a cookie cleanup in my browser.
The somewhat confusing bits are each chapter starts with a new game selection, even though you just loaded the final state of the last chapter. And the second confusing bit is within each chapter you can save and load like any game but that is only part of what is saved in the .dat files, they also contain wrench and gear settings and dialog about the name of the diner and some of the events you had along the way.
