For those of you who are wondering why your saves disappeared and are scratching your head. It has nothing to do with the rollback patch problems, and here's what I found:
My previous version that I played and saw new content was 0.96. I had pulled 0.97 and noticed nothing new to play since I wasn't on the sandra path. Then I pulled 0.98.2-alt and tried to load saves. Nothing, nada, squat. Not even automatics.
Going into ~/.renpy (I'm on Linux) to look:
wtf.... Why is there a Haleyaltsave there that's empty and not something named just Haley-xxxx that's full of saves? Time to go grepping around for config settings of save directories:
That explains the empty Haley save directory. Let's see what's in 0.96.
Do what now? So the author has been working on Proj6 (aka Haley) all this time and finally decided to change the name in a setting somewhere without realizing that it was going to disappear everyone's old saves?
