This an awfully bad solution, I found that if I did this I would be losing more than 6 MONTHS OF GAME PLAY.
The game developer needs to fix this very fast.
He should REMOVE THE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENT.
It is causing many people big problems and we should NOT be forced to lose many months of game play.
The next game update is a month away on itch and there is NO Guarantee it will contain the desired fix for this.
It is also shockingly bad when we get absolutely ZERO RESPONSE from the game developer at all.
I have been playing this game for well over 9 months now and have thoroughly enjoyed it.
Then something really terrible like this happens and we are expected to lose 6 MONTHS OF GAME PROGRESS.
The proposed solution in the comments is unworkable as I and others would lose MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF PROGRESS IN THE GAME.
When I tried restoring to previous GAME SAVE in the past I had to go back to a GAME SAVE which was made before the MISSIONS were introduced.
I nearly always have some crew members performing MISSIONS and earning Galatic Credits, which is why I had to go so far back to a GAME SAVE before the MISSIONS were introduced.
The trouble is the updates are released approximately every 4 weeks.
This has been a really bad troublesome update, I really can't do much at all in the game with so many crew members trapped or frozen.
It is unbelievably bad when the only proposed solution would result in me losing over 6 MONTHS OF GAME PLAY PROGRESS.
The quickest and easiest fix would be to strip out this Compliance Requirement which we are told is the source of this trouble.
I didn't want to say it straight out loud, but we should be happy that we even receive free updates. I'm not telling you that you should settle for the bad because it can be worse, but without a solution you are just cutting the tree beneath yourself. Not to mention that nobody told, nor the creator himself that he will dedicate his life to our entertainment. He can be burnt out too. You don't have to accept it, but at least be a little more considerate. I enjoy the game just as much as you do, but he is one of the creators on itch.io who never goes on a hiatus, he deserves at least a little faith. I'm positive that the bug is fixed in the next patch because the patrons could have told him already about it. I already wrote a message on the dc server, on bluesky and here as well, just be patient.
The reason I am being loud and vocal about this is because there seems to be absolutely ZERO RESPONSE from the game developer.
I am not aware of any way to contact him directly and describe this issue.
It is extremely frustrating when there is ZERO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF SERIOUS ISSUES.
It wouldn't take more than a few minutes to type in a quick message on itch and reassure us a fix is in the next update.
That is just being considerate and showing his loyal game followers, that he understands we are very upset about this latest fiasco.
It is not good enough for the game developer to sit back in 100% total silence and not type in just a few words about this and acknowledge our problems.
I am grateful for free updates, because I am on a low income can not afford to pay monthly fees to PATREON.
Just remember his paying followers on PATREON are going to be affected by this too.
PATREON MEMBERS who can afford to pay for this game will NOT BE HAPPY to wait a month for a fix for this to be sorted out.
I don't see how this could get much worse, I am faced with losing 6 MONTHS OF GAME PROGRESS or 2/3 of my total playing time for this.
The only possible way this entire fiasco could be worse, would be if we had to start playing the entire game from the beginning.
That is something that I refuse to do, because there are no guarantees this will not happen again.
I have noticed on itch they have posted a link to download an Updated Version, which hopefully contain the fix for the problems we are having.
I have downloaded and had success decompressing the RAR file.
There were 2 folders inside the Updated Version entitled Configs, Settings.
What do I do with these files or where do I install them.
I have searched the game files in my itch Game Manager and found the files for Lust Odyssey.
But to my dismay NOTHING matches, so I cant replace files with the new version.
I have also searched the RenPy files but they just seem to contain all my Game Saves.
It seems that these files are designed for the Windows version of Lust Odyssey.
I am using macOS Sequoia 15.5
Please advise what to do with these files to fix this game.
