Just to check, you've unzipped the game first; you're not trying to run it from inside the zip file, right?

Weird as hell. Could you check what happens when you unzip it somewhere like c:\temp, rather than inside a user-space folder? It shouldn't matter at that point, though, since the game itself is read-only (anything saved is to user-space accounts).

Could you check if it still happens using a recent Winrar or 7zip? I've seen the windows zip system break at files > 4.2GB.

I found out!
While I was investigating, I started to think about the possibility that my system language was causing some kind of incompatibility. Not that there is a causal correlation, but based on my theory, I started exploring the game settings in search of some specific language and text parameter. Apparently, keeping the TTS option enabled causes the problem. Just disable it for everything to work normally.
I haven't tested it to the limit yet, but it seems to be fine!
Honestly, at this point I was driven by curiosity about the problem and forgot about the game behind all this. It's like finding money in your jeans pocket!
And with that I think the final update of Love of Magic is up. This includes the full Book 3 NG+ experience, various bug-fixes to Book 1 & 2, and a pass to remove compression artifacts from the images. Book 3's getting some sexy new scenes, including a final one for the last of the ladies of the Fae, more Emily, more Molly & Akane fun-time, and the ending to the What Was Promised and Headhunter NG+ storylines.
To activate NG+, just play through the game. Book 1 will now detect the end of Book 3's savegame, and pop up a second start button to start NG+. The world will change in various small ways, opening up new dialog, new events, and a big new questline (dependent on you having defeated Hel and her siblings in your Book 3 run).
And with that I can get back to focusing fully on my next game, Wings of Empire. It's a space opera set in a world where the Roman Empire never fell, but clawed its way to the stars. You were a Centurion in the Roman Legions before you caught an anti-tank round to the knee. Unwilling to give up you've transferred to the Navy, starting your new life as a fighter pilot on the Fast Attack Carrier INS Aquila, as it sets course for the Dark.
Sounds interesting? Give it a wishlist here to help it do well once it releases. Act 1 is done, and I've started work on Act 2; you can follow the progress on the Development branch of Morningstar: Book of the Fallen.
Thanks for sharing the journey through Love of Magic with me, and I hope you enjoyed the ride.

I did a devlog for Wings of Empire, for those of you curious about it. It also includes a download for Act I (day 1-17).

Ok, I'm having some doubts, I'm playing book 3 ng+, I've seen on the wiki that I'm supposed to meet the Morrigan before day 223 at the King's Dragon but she never shows up, also the book 3 walkthrough says that she will be at the pub with Cu on day 225 and that also doesn't happen, I have the quest from the salesman and I've done both her conversations in book 1 and both targets in book 1 and 2, the new "What was promised" content didn't have any problems as i got both the scene at the scout sighting and at the pub so i don't know if it's something I missed or i just have to wait more days. Thanks to whoever has the answer.
In NG+ her Cu meeting gets removed (you already know her at that point).
For her book 3 scene, make sure you complete the two headhunter missions in book 1 & 2, then go meet her in the Kings Dragon on either day or night time, main room.
The flags required:
Include: BOUNTY_HUNTER3 (set when you talk to the salesman)
Exclude: MORNING, R1 (so not in the morning, and not after you return to Reality 1)
Min Day: 234
Ok now i understand, I saw that the wiki said before day 223 so I was staying in that range of days and hadn't gotten to day 234 yet, I also checked my book 1 and 2 saves and both the morrigan mission and the salesman say continue in the next book and he gave me the mission in book 3, so it was just me not going forward and seeing for myself. Oh well, thanks for clarifying Droid!
Damn, and here I thought I would get to see mommy Emily scolding those naughty kids and the MC saving them (idk why I imagined him with a dad bod
). The story will stick to my mind for a while(and ruin other vns ofc ). One of the best games I played in a while, thank you Droid

Some of you may find this interesting; I went back to Edinburgh, and decided to make a small video documenting some of the original inspirations for the game.

just downloaded the NG+ version of Book 1 but decided to delete all my saves and start fresh. Somehow not triggering some of the achievements:
I'm wondering if the Pixie and MMA ones failed because I turned down the sex scenes? And could Monogamous fail if I picked the wrong options during Perfect Black Rose?
EDIT: I forgot the game only saves current and one previous log, and after quitting and retrying recent saves a few too many times I think I can't provide anything useful to troubleshoot this, so, uh, nevermind, just gonna use cheats to add them in lol

Pretty sure it's because you deleted everything, and the NG+ has no reference to what you already did.
Oh, no, when I installed the game and the achievements looked different, I deleted everything and started a fresh game, then played through all 120 days of Book 1 again, on the Monogamous path, and refused every side scene - Katie MMA, Katie and Bella, Katie's Fire Gem, Snowdrop, all three of Chloe's shower scenes, all three Chosen, Diana, and Kath. It showed me at 6/6 even tho' that's more than six scenes so it obviously didn't count all of them, but didn't trigger the achievement. I wasn't getting credit for Perfect Black Rose because I forgot about Olivia, so I might have given Jenny one too many roses and triggered a scene that I didn't need to and maybe that disqualified me? I don't know if that's possible or not and I didn't want to do that all again so I just used the achievement= command to trigger it manually lol
