Old saves are not compatible. They put in a Start At Chapter X feature to make up for it, but yeah, not pleased about it. I'm probably going to start a new runthrough, since I wasn't finished yet. Either that, or just not play anymore.
i didn't use a save, i started a new game then tried the chapters button, same thing

I got the error page when I loaded a save, then was able to continue past it, but it restarted from the beginning anyway. I also started a completely new game, and got no errors yet. People are complaining about frequent crashes, too.

Yep, I've read through this. And I've also included this as IMPORTANT NOTE in changelog.

Quoting myself:

IMPORTANT NOTE:

* Some players seem to be experiencing issues with crashes related to: TypeError: '<=' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'float'
- If you're one of the players having this isssue, temporary fix is to forcibly set the renderer to gl2 and the frame rate to 60.
Why does it happen? The crash happens only when certain GPU drivers + Ren'Py’s gl3/ANGLE renderer + a specific transform or screen = boom.
If you're not on Steam, If you run the game from a shortcut this is fix for now:

Elleria.exe --renderer gl2 --framerate 60

Or if you're on Linux.

./Elleria.sh --renderer gl2 --framerate 60


Last option would be to use UnRen on it, open the options.rpy and add these two lines:


define config.gl2 = True
define config.framerate = 60

That's the fix for this.

Mate, there's been a complete rework and update of Ren'py and to Python 3. While I understand the frustration, sadly, I don't got Elder Wand up my ass. Did the best I can.

Here, I did this real quick.

Just drop that and let it go into game folder. It should prioritize it over archive... that should I believe solve your issue without you having to deal with shortcut extensions.

I did buy it on Steam, and playing it on Steam. When I buy a "finished" game, not one on EA, I expect my work to not be completely lost mid-playthrough. I am not sure having an attitude about it is going to help here.

Also, you can add those switches in Steam as well, if you know anything about Steam.

There is a difference between "attitude" and when I'm faced with something unreasonable mate. Given the amount of work that went into it, such things are bound to occur with such major work.

And I also see no issue with the patch I provided, which allows you to pretty much resume where you want. You don't need to start from the start. If you have any suggestions on perhaps how to improve chapter selections, sure, I'm willing to listen.

But otherwise just saying what you did while I busted my ass doesn't help either in all honesty.

Also, a little FYI note. Given the fact Elleria flunked in sales, left me in a minus from its overall production, I shouldn't touch it with a ten meter long stick and scrap it, throw it into a fucking trash-can bin and burn it and move on.

Yet here I am, despite all that, despite no profit, giving it giant updates. So, try to understand that as well.

Hey, I understand your frustration. It would be nice if you'd understand mine, too.

Yes I do. So, hence I said... if you have any suggestions for me on how to improve, any ideas whatsoever, the chapter selection. Please, let me know.

I can expand it a bit more, so you can perhaps jump to specific parts of chapters already or something. But, whatever the case, I need ideas. Cause, I don't know what to do if no one gives me any insight.

"I've said this before, but so many of these AVNs start out strong. The devs have a great idea to start but have obviously not fleshed out the entire story and eventually lose their way. This is a perfect example. Strong start, crappy middle game and lord only knows where the ending is going to go."

The reviewer left out one thing: The toxic culture here, of entitled, brainless members, contributes to a situation they describe and add to.
But of course, those same members don't have the empathy to see it's partially their fault. It's blaming everything else but yourself times hundreds of Wack-A Moles here, the dev has to deal with.

If you remove the toxic element, what's left? Constructive suggestions and supportive members. Oh my God, what an original thought.
I know this won't make sense to most here, especially the 14-inch dildo.

==================
My thoughts on the game are that it's good. It has excellent world-building. One standout to me is that the music fits well in the game.
This shows forethought and hard work for the developer.

Hi Mystic I also can't load my save from v1.0.
Error seems different to the one marked in OP.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Is there any known fix for this one, please?
Can you tell me where is your save file, like, where did you save it? You're trying to load your save but... at which point in the game?

Right. So the zip isn't doing the trick. How about the shortcut? Let's try that.



Create a Modified Shortcut (Windows - Easiest for many):


  • Navigate to the folder where the game is installed.
  • Find the main game executable file (usually something like Elleria.exe).
  • Right-click on the executable (Elleria.exe) and choose "Create shortcut" (or "Send to" > "Desktop (create shortcut)").
  • Find the newly created shortcut file.
  • Right-click on the shortcut and select "Properties".
  • Go to the "Shortcut" tab.
  • Look for the "Target:" field. It will contain the path to the executable, likely in quotes (e.g., "C:\Games\Elleria\Elleria.exe").
  • Click inside the "Target:" field and go to the very end of the text, after the closing quote (if present).
  • Type a space, and then add the arguments: --renderer gl2 --framerate 60
  • The "Target:" field should now look something like: "C:\Elleria\Elleria\Elleria.exe" --renderer gl2 --framerate 60
  • Click "Apply" and then "OK".
  • Launch the game using this modified shortcut from now on.

Hit me back when you're done.

Well amen to that. Plus DLC turns it into choices storm fest. Since everyone was complaining about choices. :KEK:

I made the save at the end of the last update, v1.0.
IIRC it was the 2nd meeting with the dark knight, where he wants to "settle this between us":
View attachment 4768688
Then in that case, use Chapters Selection. Use the DLC option, it will bring you straight where you are. As you've already completed Chapter 5.

It will unlock all gallery renders for you, and you can continue from there. You will have no issues, and you don't need to bother with any of this.
