What a frustrating horrible mess, Tried to get working for an hour. Downloaded wrong patches then got right ones.
I understand the confusion/frustration, but you literally only need the main game to play it.
If you add DLC, you just need any of the DLC for the right part, so
you can't mix and patch P1 and P2 DLC.
If you're using the xmas-loli DLC, you need the main game + (main game) loli DLC + xmas DLC + xmas-loli DLC, or the game will crash as it doesn't have the prerequisites to unpack the xmas-loli DLC. The xmas story is completely separate from the main game, and is only accessible after completing the main story in 0.1.1.
Tried to start chapter 6 but literally cant. Haven't played chapter 5 before and mega is dead and all other links are horrible, got saves off ppl in this thread put them in the save folder, are not recognised. Combed appdata to maybe see a place for saves there no luck. Honestly screw you dev lol.
You need to export a save from the end of P1 to START P2. To do that, you can either download P1 and play through it to the export screen, or use a save from P1 for then to get to the export screen. I don't see the reason to skip P1 unless you've played it before and deleted it, since you're just missing out on much of the game. P2 is pretty small at the moment.
Alternatively,
I assume you can load any save from P2, but as long as you don't have an exported save from P1 you can never start a
new game.
I'll include my exported save from P1, since people are struggling so much with that here, but I have no idea if it works. This should be unzipped into the following folder on Windows:
Code:
%AppData%\RenPy\persistent
or in longer form:
Code:
{SYSTEMPARTITION}:\Users\{YOUR USER}\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\persistent
