Jumping to further episodes, when older saves don't work, doesn't necessarily give you different paths, does it? I remember having multiple different saves, due to making different decisions in each path. If you start from a recent episode, and skip older episodes, does it ask you questions about what choices you previously made, so that you can get the same path you had in older saves that no longer work? Otherwise, I just do what I always do and delete all files, mark the empty folder with "files broken, wait til finished", and wait til the game is finished and start over from the beginning. This insures that I won't get partially through the game, then have broken saves. Don;t misread and take this as whining, complaining, worrying, or whatever. It's just how I deal with things, after so many times of getting excited about a new update, but finding out the game is being reworked and my old files don't work. And I fully understand the process, and why devs will rework games. It makes sense, in most cases.
