I didnt see it thank you. Though when I attempted to use the patch it seemed to have just brought up a failed to load error for img/system/VNButtons.png.
Is there a way to transfer saves between versions, simply transfering save files doesnt appear to work.
Searching your error in this thread - it seems it comes up when someone attempts to install a patch incorrectly.
After removing the patch from the game, you might just try to follow the instructions here as a stop-gap method:
9,644 <- this turns off Katie soft-lock
Yes, there is a way to transfer saves - it requires a few steps.
If you continue to have problems, you may be better served going to the developer's discord and seek help in the appropriate channel there.
