99% chance it is the persistent file that is causing the problem. Full information can be found on the first page.

Also, to be 100% sure you have the latest version of the game, visit the developer's Patreon page and download the game and the update there, as there have been reported issues with the files downloaded from the links posted here on F95Zone.

Deleting the persistent file is the first thing I tried doing to solve the issue... didn't work.
It's the weirdest thing.
I've looked in the appdata folder again since, in case I had forgotten to delete some saves from there, but no, that's not the case, unless they are stored someplace else where I have not looked. any leads to that effect would be welcomed.

I downloaded the HolidayIsland-0.3.1.0-pc version from the patreon.
tried to run it again.. this is the log it generated whilst failing to launch.

The only other place the 'saves' are stored is under the game folder. After downloading the 0.3.1.0, have you also downloaded the update to 0.3.1.1 from the patreon site? Past that I'm out of ideas and you may have to wait for the developer to see and respond to your post.

So I shall wait patiently for the dev to throw in his 2 cents. it might be worth noting that I am not 100% certain about the timing, but I believe windows decided to update to the latest version pre-win11, before having the game vamoose on me.

Dumb question - in the %appdata%\renpy folder, are you deleting the 'persistent' FOLDER, or the 'persistent' file WITHIN the 'Island-XXXXXXXXXX' folder? It needs to be the latter to fix the 'persistent' issue.

I only ask because the symptoms exactly match this issue, and if it is NOT the 'persistent file' issue, then the actual problem is pretty unique to you at this point.

I've deleted the entire island folder, all of the saves, including the persistent one
foget that..
I'm dumb..
I couldn't find a holiday island folder of saves, so I figured I must have deleted the whole thing, when the issue first manifested, a few days ago..
Picking it up a few days later, it never occurred to me that the folder's name would be different, Island... and I miss remembered having deleted it properly
I've deleted the persistent file now and the game is back.
thanks for the help, folks

Thanks for your answer... :)



I just wanted to know since the character sheets state 2/10 or 4/10 as the strength value. I also thought that it would make sense to be able to train with the girls. I find then a little pity. One could also make some events dependent on it.
Actually, that isn't a half-bad idea: Have Delizia and Yvette (and others, maybe) increase their strength score during the workouts they do with the MC. They are 'getting stronger' according to the events...

Probably not worth the extra work it would be for the game, but I like it.

There are two main answers to your post.
The first is the most obvious. If you don't like sandbox games, do not play sandbox games.
The second is to play the game differently. There is no need to max all stats of all girls and to hug/kiss whatever them all the time. Just play the game, move from and to your room every now and then, check the quest log.
If you want a game experience where the game more tells you what to do, get Amy on the island and play her extensive affection/love quest line.
Last one - don't go achievement hunting until you have gotten most of them already.
If you still don't like it after that, then I suppose the game just isn't for you.
