VN Ren'Py Fog Of War [Ep. 4.2] [Story Machine Studios]

[HeartBreakerGaming]

I keep getting this error (Edit i fixed it by changing a few lines in the screens.rpy, the error was caused by the multimod, ill upload the updated screens.rpy here and on the multimod page!)

```
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

error after putting a custom name

I uploaded a fix, in the comment above. Look for the Screens.rpy file.

 

[barbatoscloud]

does anyone know where the latest intel for Kendra and Scarlett ?

 

[Karabonga]

I hate when the mc has to text someone because it's like a flashbang to the eye when he gets the phone out. The developer can be a bit considerate to people's eyesight.

 

[Dessolos]

After finally playing this I was taken by a surprise how all the girls feel like a slow burn relationship building in this game. Which I love not alot of games do that. Even if lewd scenes happen in the next update it feels like there has been a good amount of build up in this and it isnt rushed. I hate it when there isnt any build up in slow burns and lewds just happen because. Also I'm team Kristyn I love getting back together with EX's in these games. Once I decide what spot this game belongs on my AVN list ill rate this game. Probably gonna be a 5/5 haha. good Job dev cant wait for the next one.

For those who are getting errors with the multimod please use this! This should fix the issue! If there are other issues let me know and i may be able to fix them!

Thanks for the file. I overwrote the existing screens.rpy in the game folder, but still receive an error when trying to load any save from chapter 2 Even when I haven't copied the MultiMod files into the game folder, it would still come up with the error. Do I need to start the game from scratch or were other guys here able to load their saves?
If anyone could help me to find a solution, I would highly appreciate it! Traceback attached below.

So when you say you havent copied to multimod files over, is that all you tried? or did you also try with the multimod installed?

Also it looks like this is the traceback file from after you tried rolling back, can you post the very first error message you get? If you dont mind please do a fresh install of the game, without adding any files and see if any errors occur?

Thanks for your responses! So, I tried to run the game without the Multimod from my Download folder but it would still lead to an error when trying to load a save from chapter 2. And I copied the game into another folder (on another drive) where I also have Chapter 2 installed, copied the Multimod files into the game folder and then overwrote the screen.rpy file in there. To no avail, still leads to an error.

Attached is the traceback file from straight when I tried to load the save from end of chapter 2, this time without rollback.

Okay, another question did you save on like a thank you screen, or a special thanks screen? If so try loading an autosave or a save
right before that and see if it works. The save icon may look something like this? For Future reference only save on scenes were the dev says save here, or a random scene prior to the chapter end. DONT SAVE on any screen that says something along the lines of "Thank you for playing Chapter 2..." most of the time when the dev comes out with the new chapter they remove those lines, so when you go to load on them, they no longer exist.

If your not sure, you can post me your saves!

Thanks mate for checking back and for the advice. I tried to load other saves as there were occasions when other saves would work. But not with this game, unfortunately. If nothing works, I guess I will have to start again and skip as much as possible until chapter 3 starts. But usually, I always click one screen back to save the game before the announcement of the end of the chapter, as you recommended.
I am attaching my saves, I have really no idea why it is not working (seems I cannot attach the folder, only single files).

Did you by chance use the cheats mod to increase your relationship with the characters? Im getting the same error that you are on mine version so im thinking your save is just corrupted, i noticed that when i clicked on the cheats button after rolling back, that the relationship stats were all set past 100, which may have caused an issue. Most likely you will just have to start over, because even i couldnt get your save to load. I can try seeing if i can edit the save file and make it useable again but i doubt it. Sorry i couldnt be of more help!

Yeah, it looks like the your save has some variables that were made redundant in this update, im not sure what happened. But im not quite knowledgeable enough to fix it. It doesnt seem to be because the relationship points were made over 100 since i did the same thing and mine still works. (Edit: i opened yours and my saves in a save file editor to compare, and the vast majority of your variables in your save files are corrupted as can be, they arent even readable. Im not sure what happened to be honest. but i cant fix this. Sorry)

Thanks a lot for checking and even comparing the save files, I didn't even know there was a tool for that! You are right, I had changed the relationship stats to 100 or above, and then it might have increased further naturally based on decisions in the game. It's really strange that the save files are corrupted, I wonder if I might have rewatched some scenes in the gallery and if that could have caused some changes in the save files... Yesterday, I started "Returning to Mia" and first also got an error message when I tried to save a load in the updated game. But when I copied the Mod into the game folder and restarted the game, it would warn me about the save being from a different chapter and maybe corrupted but it would still load and I could continue the game and my paths. So, sometimes these things are really strange and can take a positive turn or a negative one.

Anyway, thanks for checking, much appreciated! If no one has saves from the end of chapter 2, I might just start over with skipping as much as possible. Maybe not the worst idea anyway to get back into the story, although I wasn't impressed by chapter 1 and only played chapter 2 to give it another chance, and I'm glad I did as the story developed so much more interestingly.

I am keep getting error in the middle of the game. Hopefully, it would be fix on the next update.
