bruh you're on a piracy forum; what exactly were you expecting to happen here?
Hey dude,
being on a "pirate forum" does NOT mean, that you have to pirate all time.
Asholes (sorry people if you match this group) are those, who grab ALL games ALWAYS for free, and even then maybe start shitstorming if something is not gonna be as they want it to be.
Smart guys use the "pirate forum" to get knowledge about new games, have a free look into that games, decide if they are worth to support without "buying the shit unseen" and without knowing what exactly they support.
After they found a game which is worth to support, they patronize.
The devs deserve a reward for their work, or they would mostly stop their job.
If all guys would be like you (i assume you are a pirate-only-user, based on your statement, but i might be wrong) there would be much less games. And finally think about your "heroes" which have to be a patreon though to be able to link the newest versions.
The big problem for the devs is not that their games are leaked over here at all, the biggest problem are those people, who still think, that copyright issues are meaningless in web, and being on a "piracy site" gives them the rights to do everything they want, so that they download always, all and everything without donating any Cent to any dev.
The last waterdrop within the barrel wich gets the barrel to overflow is, that mostly those, who support never ever, are those who complain the most and start the biggest shitstorm whenever they "dont like" what they grabbed, or whenever something is not going to be done as they want it to be, because they still think that THEY are the audience, a dev has to listen at.
Am I missing something when restarting the game, that some of the images are not working while using the DM patch? For example when going through the family, showing them, and even introducing the MC it says image not found. Doing a fresh download for the game and re install (rather not have to) or wondering if it is just because of DM though I am using the day 8 and 9 version if it matters. Will the download for 8 and 9 contain week 1 as well?
well, day 8+9 is just out of internal playtest. ALPHA means that this version might be full of bugs. There is a BETA afterwards and finally a RELEASE - and even then there might be some bugs which were overseen before.
To complain about the ALPHA versions bugs is like you just have learned to drive a bicycle with supporting wheels, but complain that you can't win the "Tour de France".
The Alpha is not made for players to enjoy a final polished game, it's made for finding out bugs. If you can't handle an alpha version, just dont grab it, and wait until the official release. BTW: there is a discord channel where you are able to report your issues of alpha and beta versions and maybe help to solve the problems, instead of trying to fix the problems over here
