I receive the same error message on my Mac. I´ve already started a new save on the latest release. This happens when I save a game, quit the game, and then reopen the game. Some saved files seems to work, but I have started to get far into the game now, so it´ll take some time each get back to the point where I am now, and frankly I can´t be asked. Anyone has a solution to this problem?
If you´re talking about saves from before CH3 mind this https://f95zone.to/threads/where-it-all-began-ch-3-full-oceanlab.19856/post-12558447

Otherwise forget my answer - have no clue why it shouldn´t work :unsure:

Hello,
Progress is slightly slower at the moment, as my priority is to get Summer's Gone Season 1 released.

I've been moving WiAB over to the SG PC, and have gotten most of the environments and characters to work. (Collecting all the missing assets.)

The SG PC was upgraded a week ago. (2xA6000 Ada.)

After I successfully moved WiAB over to the SG Workstation, WiAB is also going to benefit from them.


The current amount of renders:

Chapter 3.5 = 860

Chapter 4 = 45


For Chapter 3.5, I have to design a few new places and have finished MC's and Miru's potential new apartment & started developing the scenes in it.

Chapter 4 needs a few new environments and I'm currently collecting and building them.

But yeah, I need to release SG S1 as soon as possible. But as always, these updates are bigger than I first anticipated.

There's only one preview today. 4K attached.

MC's new potential place & Ni.

Soon, I'll start contacting more music artists and see if I can score some new music for WIAB/the games.

OG Miru is a monster. New Miru is waifu material. Katie is my fav, but Miru is better long term relationship material.
How exactly is a nymphomaniac with violent tendencies and constant threats against you could be the best material for a long term relationship? To each his own I suppose and yet I'm curious as to why do you think she's good for a long term relationship because my point of view is somewhat different.

Because if you treat the new Miru right, she will become the most loyal friend, the sexiest, insatiable and adventurous partner, the one who will always watch your back and will die for you. Not to mention she's gorgeous. And in the meantime, you can play MMORPG with her. Of course she is perfect waifu material.

She's only violent for good reasons, for example when Willam starts to be a bigger jerk than an death star. But it's not like she is on the transmiting end of daily domestic violence and William gets his daily dose of new bruises...

In my opinion it's too early to judge her loyalty (only 3 chapters have passed). In the future we will have plenty of opportunities to test her loyalty and see how faithful she is to our protagonist and whether you can really trust her with your back. "Adventurous" - I'm not sure what you mean by that. I noticed that she likes to get involved in other people's business, so maybe that's what you mean? "Gorgeous" - yeah, like most of the LI's in Ocean's games, thanks to him for that. "Gamer Girl" - you're a gamer, so having her share your hobby gives you satisfaction, it's understandable. What do you think about the disparity in their sex drive or her violent tendencies?

Maybe it's just my imagination, but based on their dialogues I get the impression that Miru has a high propensity for violence. If you think your partner is behaving inappropriately, you can talk to them calmly about it and solve your problems. Instead, every time the protagonist does something Miru doesn't like he gets threatened. This kind of situation feels a bit unnatural to me. In the previous version you were free to do as you please - it was up to you to be a jerk or try to be a good guy, no Miru told you how you should behave. I have the impression that such situations in the current version of this game are created on purpose so that Miru can rush forward on a white horse and put our arrogant asshole protagonist in his place, even when he has done nothing wrong (such as the scene in the pool or meeting Dana in the bar).

I see Miru's character kind of like a specific type of anime character. Which might make sense since Ocean named Nami after the character with the same name from One Piece. In anime, you'll often see the male protagonist get beat to a pulp for innocently doing stupid shit. So maybe that's where Miru comes from.

I fully agree, it's one of those archetypes that are used a lot in manga/anime.

For me, the trait of loyalty has two sides. The first is fidelity in relationships: she does not cheat or do anything with other without the permission of the MC. Ocean seemed to reassure us of this, or at least repeated several times, that NTR is completely avoidable, even if it's turned on. You will have to constantly neglect Miru and encourage her to the idea of an open relationship so that she will start doing NTR things.

Another part of her loyalty is that she takes the MC's side in his business and watches his back. Until recent she does just that, she helps MC reunite with his family, smooth things out in relationships with "old friends", and generally helps him with everything. We'll see what happens next.

Adventurous - I mean she's creative and likes to experiment sexually, like sudden public sex in the gym shower. MC won't get bored with her.

Disparity in their sex drive? C'mon, this isn't Nika, and the game isn't SG, this is Willie "The Snake" Zane. He will boink all the female population of the Wollust if he has to. He's just playing hard to get and teasing her, but the limpy wormy is definitely not his case.

Violent tendencies? I'm not sure if I follow. Do you mean she punches him from time to time or plays an evil demon? This is part of their foreplay, I guess. She's just pretending to be an angry dominant girlfriend. And given her height and build compared to him, it looks simply comical.

If she really wanted to hurt this meatbag she would have to hit him in the nuts, neck, eyes or jaw, something like that. Otherwise she will just simply bounce off him like a ping-pong ball.

But yeah, she keeps an eye on him and lets him know when he's being a complete asshole. And I am absolutely sure that she is doing this with his full unspoken consent and he is glad that he has someone next to him who can tame his temper. A guy who just left the most important people in his life and never looked back will not put up with the rudeness of a girlfriend, even one as cute as Miru, unless he himself wants it and does not consider it rude or violent.
