This error corrupt all saves and normal you waste our time as players when you don`t guarantee working saves (from today till 6/5/2022).

When I remember correct I started this game from zero (date ?) so it can`t be that you have start after a time all time from start again.
Well, if you play a beta, who is used to iron out the code and get you a as bug-free final release version of the game as possible:
It can happen.

If you don't want a such high risk for (game breaking) bugs, then don't play unfinished versions of games.

Your save is now compromised, you will need to load an older save, or start over.
Yes people, please, listen to TheDevian and don't play unstable beta versions, wait for the stable version. And if you need something to do while waiting for the beta, well I am not trying to suggest anything to anybody, but maybe, it could be possible that, maybe, this thread could use some new memes. And there is a serious lack of A11-Y related memes. But again, I am not trying to suggest anything to anybody, I am not trying to tell you what to do, do what you want to do. But seriously, this thread could use some A11-Y memes. I am thinking about some ideas, but I don't have the time to work on it right now, maybe I will have some time next week. Also, right now, I am writing this on my phone, while my laptop is in my backpack.

Anyway, I didn't say anything important, ignore me if you want to, I have to leave now, goodbye, see you later.

Can't I just back up save files somewhere else to avoid any risk to them when trying the beta? Or am I missing something?

Not missing anything at all, by all means. The primary reason for all the warnings is the average poster isn't backing up anything or reading that they're downloading a beta. They're downloading, running into errors and just shooting off questions to solve a problem without having understood the inherent risks nor knowing there's virtually no support for the beta's bugs.

There's been a couple posts from folks who have completed the beta and have said what they've done to do it. It's entirely possible - just apparently not for everyone.

As long as you save under a new slot, and don't mind replaying (the new stuff), you will be fine, but most people here only use one save slot, and end up fucking themselves.

Yes you can, just go to "C:user/***name of said user***/AppData/Roaming/Renpy/Harem Hotel-**********" (*** being numbers), and save your file on an other drive than your computer.
In a fact, you should back up all your of the folder "Renpy" on an other driver just in case of a probleme with your computer, that way, you can reinstall all your saves or if you did like i did and corrupted your saved file with a beta version, you can re-use your backup file.
It a good habit to make backups and backups of your importants files like saves of porn game and maybe, just maybe your photos.

Or, you know, HaremHotel\Game\Saves.

But there is no need to back up your saves, if you just use a new slot. We have 100 save slots per page, and an infinite number of pages for a reason. There is no need to only use one save slot!

Hello folks.

I haven't played this game since dec 2022 and, naturaly, my saves trigger error codes right after they are loaded.
Would anyone, pretty please, have a save file around the time when Lucia joined the hotel? A bit later will still be alright, I just dont remember exactly where I ended up.
I do not really want to go through all of it again, since I know what has happened.

Any saves I have from back then would be at least as bad. Someone might have one if they have replayed recently, but...

Two things, first, this is a beta, so any saves you make with it will be compromised, and second, many of the early scenes have been remade, so it might be worth replaying anyway.

Yeah, I understand why that happens, It wasnt meant to be a complaint if that sounded like one.

No, it didn't, I just wanted to make sure you were aware of what was going on. If you want to play now, I would go get the game from Runey's Patreon, or his Itch page, not here.

I know, but the back up of the Renpy saved files from AppData/Roaming/Renpy permite you to backup ALL your Renpy games saved files, that way, if your computer crash, burn, explode or you just trow it out the windows because a game pissed you of, you can restart your new download with the latest save file of said game.

I speak from experience.


P.S. no i didn't trow my putter out the windows.

P.P.S. i burned it in a sacrifice to Hephaïstos.:D
