Can someone help me get this game to run again on my mac. I got it working before but now when I try to boot up the game it says "HolidayIsland quit unexpectedly." I can then either reopen or ignore. When I try to reopen it I get a new message saying "The file can’t be found." I've tried redownloading the game and restarting my computer several times. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Love the game.

The Heather/Jessica scenes aren't working for me. I searched with 50 pages of results. Love/affection/favor/lust all maxed. Even sent Jessica off for a clothes change to skimpy (changed it back to bikini first) to wait 30 min before she showed up. Tried each several times to see if it was chance based. No dice. What in blue Hell is the actual trigger? Does the RNG just hate me, or am I doing/not doing something wrong.

I don't even have a save folder. Like I said I made a fresh install meaning I deleted everything, even my save files and extracted the whole thing again. Still not working.
Im having the same issue and it is not giving a traceback.txt file, it was earlier but I assume that was from just extracting the patch wrong.
I would say that this is the Persistent file problem.
It is not just stored in your game folder, it's also stored in Windows AppData folder along with saves.
This makes updates simpler as your save files and the Persistent file is stored outside the game folder.

The first thing is to make sure that your graphics card driver is up to date.
If it still is happening try this...

DELETE the persistent file in these two folders (Save & AppData).
Try to start the game again.

Save folder... (Holiday Island/game/saves)
AppData folder (C: user/***/AppData/roaming/RenPy/Island-1499865023)*** your user id

Yeah idk man, I appreciate the help but I'm working from just doing a fresh reinstall of the game with no old files from previous versions and when I try and launch it nothing happens, I've tried it with/without the 301 patch or the companion mod and nothing launches and comes up in the folder about a traceback.txt just a normal log.txt
Okay, let's start with the basics.

  1. What type of system? Do you have enough resources to run the game?
  2. Full or Compressed version?
  3. Where did you download the game? Developer's Patreon page. F95Zone. Somewhere else?
  4. Have you tried downloading and reading the Companion Guide, specifically pages 9 - 11 where installation, resolution and other useful information about possible errors that might be received are covered?
That will maybe shed some light on something.

There is something about company favor that I noticed only now and that I was unable to find an explanation for (thread search, guide).
At the end of the week, when time switches from Sunday to Monday, my company favor seems to magically increase. Sunday, 23:30, I had 299 CF. I then passed time in my room and I got the "weekly summary" when midnight arrived 30 minutes later. My CF then showed a change of 89 and I had 388 CF in my pocket. Seemingly without doing anything. The title of the weekly summary states "Weekly summary and end of week bonuses".
So I got a bonus? What for and how does that work? I did the Alice photo shoot that week. Anything to do with that?

A week later my CFs increased from 425 to 500 when Monday, 00:00, arrived. With a change of 149 CF? So I assume the change was 149 but got capped off at 500? Should it then not show a change of 75 CF? The weekly difference would still be 112 CF and different from the 149 that is shown. I did the Jessica photo shoot that week. Did I get a bonus for that?
You get a bonus each week for interacting with the girls.
The difference that is shown is the weekly bonus. So it has nothing to do with how the value was at teh beginning of teh week and how much you gained my donating sperm samples, etc.
I have to check why the cap of 500 isn't considered when the change is displayed.

1. Windows 10, and I've run the game before it stopped working because I used console command too much I suppose, it started giving me errors in game and then wouldn't launch so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it
2. Full
3. F95zone
4. I have followed it but in the picture of all the files he doesnt have a -32.exe in there. I have both, I try launching the normal .exe, does having both in the file cause any conflicts?

Still having the same issue. Does anyone know where to find persistent files on the Mac version? I can't seem to find any "Save" or "AppData" folders

No, the -32 shouldn't come into play at all and you're correct to use the normal -exe one. It's a longshot, but try doing a fresh download from the developer's Patreon page. Then do another fresh install after deleting your current install. Make sure you save your 'Saves' somewhere separately. Also download them from the AppData folder under 'User'. You want an absolutely clean and fresh install.

It's the persistant files issue. Do as SiJa said in his reply to first time you posted.

-32.exe only if you have 32-bit Windows... But less and less people use that.

first off, huge kudos to DH for his creation. I'm enjoying it immensely (downloaded the win10 version and restarted, lacks the portability of the android version but gameplay is smoother).

so, here's my opinion that may or may not be unpopular with the fandom here. I'm or the mind that, when it comes to tatas, there is such a thing as TOO big. A buddy of mine always used to say "if you got more than a handful you're in trouble." That being said, I was curious if there were any plans in the works for some of the "less endowed" ladies to get some more love and attention. Personally, I'd love to see more content for Lacey, Delizia, Sara and Renee (she's tied with Alice as my #1 favorite). I understand that game content and code and graphics don't just appear magically overnight, was just wondering.

Oh, one very minor criticism. :) I'm not very partial to the term "knockers," I prefer "tits" but that's me.

Alright then, carry on!

ok I'm probably about to make myself look like a total dumbass but here goes.

I can't get the quest for Alice and her new underwear to activate. I've been following what the companion guide says, I saved right when I got the "1 hour until" popup so I would have the restart point. Then clicked to go to the meeting with Joy. The guide says it's 50/50 that the quest will light up but so far I'm at about a dozen attempts and nothing. Ether I'm doing something wrong or the random number generator gods just don't like me.

Any advice?

To clarify, you have yet to have Joy mention Alice and her new underwear during a meeting. Try meeting with Joy at another time on another day. Sadly, that means you'll have to wait for a week to pass before she is free again for a meeting, but maybe you can find another girl to help you pass the time.

I must have missed the very first meeting of Joy's wishes and desires and she's busy every time. Searching the thread it seems like this is a bug but can't seem to find a way around it, if that's even possible

Yes you are correct. I've completed the wish quests for Jennifer and Eva, but the next meeting with Joy ends with her telling me there are no girls on the island with a wish. That's why I can't figure out why Alice won't activate (and yes, she IS on the island). I did what the companion guide said and created a save point when the popup for the meeting appeared, and after the meeting I restore to the save point and try again but always get the same result.
Maybe I just need to smoke a bowl and go down on Alice some more.
