I think, but not sure, that there is a conflict with the game and the mod. I can get the game to work without the mod, but it will not work with the mod. Just takes me back to the main menu. If I start a new game with the mod, I get a phone error that others have already posted.
Same over here.

Not trying to beat a dead horse here, and I'm only saying this because I enjoy the game so much, but what's the news on lost saves? I played right into the last update but all of my saves are now gone. Is this due to the walkthrough mod
(My bad Im kinda an idiot for the dumb question)

Togs has addressed this question by the time of the previous update. There was some sort of RenPy update and the savegame location was changed from User\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\The_Roommate-1629239078\ to User\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\The_Roommate. With this update, it was changed back again. If you have saves from 0.5.1 or 0.5.2 move them back to User\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\The_Roommate-1629239078\, including the persistent file. If you're using a mod you need to wait for the same mod to be updated.
Hope it helps.

Moved the save games as you said, and tried loading my most recent save. Game cut right back to the main menu, did not install Joker's Walkthrough mod. Is this a common issue?

Not that I know of. Saves of modded games will only work with the same mod. Unmodded saves should work. For this version, I loaded a save from 0.5.1 unmodded and it worked fine. Unfortunately that's as far as I can help.

Just to clarify, I suddenly noticed the "-1629239078" , thought it was an error and removed it in one build.

Then someone pointed out it's like a hash or tag (to differentiate it from all those OTHER games called "The_Roommate"), so I reverted it back with the next release.

So actually another of my idiotic "learning curve" mistakes, I'm afraid.

I'm not sure if it's intended, whenever it's the MC saying anything, it shows "Player" instead of MC's name.

Hmmm not sure how you managed that, i thought for a moment you might have not named the MC at the beginning so i tried starting a new game and leaving the player names blank by just hitting enter but then the game automatically names the MC "Steve Cooper", for me at least.

I think that's down to whatever mod that is you're using.
It's not a mod, you've named the player character 'Player'.
define p = Character("Player", image="player", color = "#7f7f7f" )
The way I would fix this is to change the p character's name when the player sets their name:
Python:
    python:
        pname = renpy.input("Enter your character's first name:", length=32, default=pname)
        pname = pname.strip()
        pname = pname.title()

        if not pname:
            pname = "Steve"
       
        p.name = pname
Plus some of the early lines are spoken by "Me" instead of p.
