When I go to load from a save I get this error screen. Error screen.png This happens only on some ren'py games such as Now and then, Motherless, College Bound and a few others. I have tried using different saves, auto saves, fresh downloads and it just doesn't help at all. If I click rollback the game crashes. If I click ignore it takes me back to the beginning of the game. I have run several different virus scans on my computer and have found nothing. Not sure what else to try. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Here is the log info.

That tell the reason of the error, it's not possible to find back the save point, and explicitly tell the cause of the error, the script changed in an incompatible way.

Save where the author tell you to save, and if the problem persist... well, it depend how much you like the game. Either use a save made during the last update (instead of at the end of it), or stop following the game.

Thanks for the feedback. I do save where the author tells me to and I have tried using different saves from throughout the games and the same problem happens. I could restart from the beginning of the games but I am worried this will happen again. I don't want to have to restart the games after every update.

Hmm... I just tested with Now & Then, that you said don't works with you, and I had no problem loading a save file, even some made months ago.
Are/were you using a mod, or a compressed version ?
