Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.5258] [Kompas Productions]

[Deleted member 1019532]

On the Diane Route in SS Wiki, it says (last mission): "In the evening, try entering the landlady’s bedroom before Diane stops you. A discussion begins between Debbie, Diane, you and… Jenny. Back in your own bedroom, Debbie invites you for a very special party in her bedroom. Go for it! Go into the kitchen the next morning."

I've fucked Debbie in her bedroom, in my bedroom, in the kitchen. I've fucked Diane in her barn.

Diane's on the couch, I can walk right past her into Debbie's bedroom - nothing. Huh?

Sorry, I deleted all my saves and persistent files and started the game again. Currently working on the theory that the persistent file in the hidden AppRoaming folder (PC) that was left over from the previous version could be causing the issue (although it hadn't ever done so before), so I'm replaying the game from a clean slate to see if that does the trick.

I just started to play the game, only to find out that I am in the same boat. I only did the intro story (Annie, Headmaster, locker, gym teacher, bissette), met Erik outside school, Diane garden intro and first part of Eve's story (meet in park, do rap battle), made some mony in Diane's garden, and slept some times. Now I started again and loaded the save, only to find out that the Intro story has reset and I must get dressed for gym class again, only that I cannot do that and I cannot leave the locker room again because... you name it.

I had a save immediately after the intro, when I load that up again I am able to complete the story up to when I first leave school and meet Erik, and I can proceed normally. When I load the earlier save from exact the same point of time in game, I run into the bug described above. When I load the new save, everything is fine. I did exactly the same thing.

If the game is resetting story lines, it is truely fucked up, as much as I like it...

That's funny. I have seen it being reported before, but when I was progressing it went smooth as ever. On the other hand, I reported a bug of missing 'mafs book' from Dexter's locker, but after some time I bumped into him on the basketball field (just before asking Missy 'bout Goldschwagger methinks) and the book was there... I got a feeling that these conflicts are new bugs related to rewriting of the game code in preparation for save compatibility feature.

And for random musings, someone above wrote that shagging anyone else when You're getting involved with Eve felt like cheating. Well, couldn't agree more. Funny, how a game largely designed for fapping evokes such a emotional response. I am loving this update, though not without admitting all the bugs and frankly some... jerkiness (pun not intended) in Eve's story, but I am hoping that 19.5 will smooth it out, similar to Jenny's update. Truth be told, while I belong to unloved Judith crowd now I will be waiting for Main Storyline finish, as I already know who's my date to prom.

I actually went to an old save and tried again and it worked, went to the trailer and found the police tape on the door. Definite bug, likely caused by parallel events in the school maybe? Found another bug when the auditorium is trashed you have to speak to Dewitt straight away - if you do any other school events before speaking to her and it is the evening you will not be able to leave the school (speak to Dewitt keeps repeating and you can't speak to her about it in her office). Also, I can't take Maria's milk cartons in the back - she has been permanently bunked for me in this playthrough..
Nevermind, Eve has become my favourite now too!!

If I remember correctly, Eve had nipple piercings in the original scene with her, MC and Erik. What happened to that? Eve is best girl and best girl should have nipple piercings again.

She was also spunky and kinda real this new one seems lonely and sad.

Well mine is still fucked up. I did my "clean slate" start then went and focused only on the Miss Bissette story, and I knew immediately that it was fucked after having sex with her because there was no achievement unlocked, then after saving and going back to the main menu, the sex scene wasn't in the Cookie Jar. When I loaded the save and went to the school the next day, the MC talks about seeing Miss Bissette for private tutoring, the thing he says at the very start of her storyline.

I don't know what you guys did with this version, Dogeek, but the game is well and truly fucked up.

I must agree. I managed to reproduce the inconsistent state once out of four times by fast-skipping through two days starting with the initial save I mentioned (immediately after the intro story). But it seems to be random. Once the save is corrupted, there is no way back other than loading an earlier save. But I see no regularity to reproduce it.

Excuse me I deleted the game for months and now I downloaded and I see my saves and I want to return to my save but he tell me :

 

[srksrk 68]

will this mod mess up ur save file?

No. But it will drink all your beer and boink your wife

Your saves are safe. But the game itself has issues as it seems, so no guarantee. But if you do not overwrite your save, nothing can possibly go wrong.

I'm thinking it might have something to do with the save file compatibility feature they've added which they said "is in alpha, so it may have some kinks", but if having all your progress reset is the price of having save file compatibility, I'd rather not pay that price and would prefer it if they just took it away.

I mean ...
I'd rather have them fix save compatibility now then never have it at all.

It's better than having to redo content every update if it's just a once off issue with this one that they can track down and fix for future updates.

 

[Krugger]

The game has bugs that keep you from continuing in the story. I do not recommend starting a new game, I recommend waiting for a bug fix update.

 

[yunmaster]

Eve's dick hmm.....
It was shock and fear. OMG.

 

[mdog9000]

would be hot if Eve could fuck you

Although it's never bothered me, I can understand why people want save compatibility, but this game has not only been regularly changing its code base, it's also been changing its previous storylines and artwork and that's why it requires people to replay the game from the beginning. It's different from other games because of this as 99% percent of games just add new stuff on top and never go back to add new stuff to what they've already done let alone change the code to make the game run better.

My point is that, if it is the save compatibility alpha that's causing this, then maybe they could release a bug fix, or 0.19.2, or other numbered version that takes it out until such time as a) all earlier storylines and artwork has been updated and b) it actually works properly.

I totally forgot that part..... I was thinking maybe the Halloween stuff was messing with saves or something.

I can understand why you feel that way but i can pretty safely say that there's almost no chance they remove it.
It's more likely that they will continue to tweak it until it works properly.

Oh! that's a pleasant surprise I guess my game is bugged or something.

technically when you start the scene she sticks it in but you dont see your face at all progressing the scene so hmm
