Hi guys, I need help with episod 2

everything was fine playing episode 1 but since I have started episode 2, the game keep crashing during almost every animated scene and sometime randomly.

The game just close itself without any error messages or anything, does someone have a fix to that ?
1.Read this FAQ (1.1.5 & 1.1.6)
2.You should also keep in mind that if, say, you are playing Ep1 v 1.1 (where there is an in-game gallery), then this new version of Ep1 may not be compatible with the version of Ep2 v16 (uncensored, with the character Bardie), which is posted on the links in the OP. If you're playing the regular, older version 1.0 (which doesn't have the in-game gallery and other fixes), there should be no compatibility issues with Ep1<-->Ep2v16 (with Bardie). If they do occur, see 1.1.6.

So I tried the new game with the episode 2 by answering question at the beginning (to verifiy it my previous save file was guilty) and the game keep closing itself when an animated scene happens. :/

This should not happen. First of all, make sure that the path to the game folder is short enough, because a folder path that is too long can cause problems while playing the game. The path should be something like this-> X:\GAMES\FashionBusiness-EP2.1-v16-FULL\

And just in case, make sure the "read-only" option is disabled in the properties of the game folder. The game works correctly under Win7, 8, 10 and 11. I can't say anything about the Mac version, except that it also exists.

So far, this is the most beautiful and elegant Xmas/Happy New Year's greeting I've seen this year (if we're talking about those greetings published by some adult game devs). I'd like to see the same "high syllable" in dialogs as well sometimes.. :)
So you want the game written with ChatGPT as well.;)

How do I activate the strips scenes in EP2 and EP3? There are visible (and in colour) in the scene viewer but dont have the blue canvas around them, therefore there are not clickable. Has anyone a solution for this?

I like to play games without much walkthrough. Is there a lot of branching for important paths? If so, in which episode should I start worrying about it?

paths starting already in eps2
and it's vise to save before you start a path and save that save in another location
(i often send important files to my mail)
if you read the FAQ you will be much viser
also if you look in main menu in game you can click guide

Actually this game has very little if any branching. All paths e.g Home, Office, falling, VIP, Julia, Fred, and others all can be played in one play through. Only a couple of paths are a true branch and another is a big potential branch.

The first full branch path happens a quarter to a half way through ep2, called the "revenge path". This will lock you out of every other event in the game once you start it. Save before you start and then come back to the rest of the game when you finish it. It starts during ep2, continues in ep3 is short and hasn't yet been updated for ep4. It will get an update in the future.

The potential branch path which has a couple of updates during ep2 and one in ep3 involves Monica visiting Marcus. These can be played during all the other main quests as of now. Though the 2 quests in ep2 must have been played before you can play the ep3 quest. I recommend playing the 2nd of these quests in ep2 last , right before you move on to ep3. See FAQ for more info. It's not a game locking branch as of now but I suspect it will eventually become that.

And the third branch happens very late in ep3. You will know when you see it.

Other than these three paths every other event can be played alongside each other. Only Monica's lack of corruption at the time or being bitchy or decent can otherwise affect if a scene will be available. The bitchy or decent meter affects less than a handful of scenes and none are either big scenes nor important. Well at least in my view. I recommend Bitchy Monica.

Thanks for the comprehensive answer, bitchy Monica was my way to go, no question.
