The gallery isn't stored in your save files but in a file named persistent. For some reason, you seem to have lost it.

1/ You play on which OS?
2/ Where did you download MP?
3/ How do you install it? (fresh install? by overwriting the old 0.19?)
4/ Did you do something specific after installing MP (like manually transfering your saves to your new install, or something like that)?
5/ Did you change or format your computer since 0.19?
1/ Windows 11
2/ Here (with MEGA)
3/ Just unpacked it and started it
4/ I did nothing manually. The save was already there.
5/ I did not

I even had the old 0.19 still on a external hard drive. When I stated it I saw all the replays.

:unsure:
Can you post your persistent file (you'll find it in <MP folder>/game/saves)?

So if I understood correctly from the changelog, no new missions that activate the new scenes will appear, but they will be seen by doing normal dialogues, right?

Your file is rather small, no wonder your gallery is locked.

Can you screenshot the content of these 2 folders:
C:\Users\<your name>\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\MidnightParadise_Sandbox
and
C:\Users\<your name>\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\MidnightParadise_Sandbox\sync
(I need at least to see the persistent file in your screenshot)

Does anyone else have issues with trying to load save file from different sources I have just got a new pc and tried to transfer my save file over and I get the message

"This save file was created on a different device. Maliciously constructed save files can harm your computer. Do you trust this saves creator and everyone who could have changed the file?"

and EVERY time I click yes it boots me back to the load screen like I clicked no, and to be fair its not just this game I've had the issue with I've had this issue with a few other games as well its like the coding isn't implemented properly.

It's a new Renpy ""feature"". But usually when you select "Yes" everything goes right... at least for me. Can you post one your saves?

I don't understand why your persistent file would have been lost.

You said you still have your 0.19 folder. You should have a persistent file too there? And it should be bigger?
This is from the 0.19 Folder.
It is bigger. I just tried to use this file and replace the persistent file in the 0.20 folder. But there was no difference.

Normal, first you have to delete the persistent file in:
C:\Users\<your name>\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\MidnightParadise_Sandbox
C:\Users\<your name>\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\MidnightParadise_Sandbox\sync
<MP folder>\game\saves\

After that you can copy your file from 0.19 (in one of the 3 folders above).

So after replacing 0.20 files with the 0.19 (318KB) Files and starting the game up once, the gallery is still hidden and the persistent file in all 3 places is now 3KB in size.
