I tried to find a way to help you, my friend😃, but I'm not an expert or a developer🙂↔️, so I asked DeepSeek AI🤖, and this is what it replied (I included some data and tips myself).** 😉
### **1. Check the game’s permissions**👀🔎
- **Storage**: Ensure the game has permission to access the device’s storage. This is essential for saving and loading games.
- *How to check*: 🔎
- Go to **Settings > Apps > [Game Name] > Permissions**. 🔓
- Enable the **Storage** permission (or "Files and Media"). 🗂️
### **2. Insufficient storage space** 😑
- If the device is full or has very little space, the game may not save files properly.
- *Solution*: Free up space by deleting unnecessary files or unused apps, clear junk files (photos, videos, cache). 🚮
### **3. Restart the game or device**🐦🔥
- Sometimes, a restart can fix temporary errors.
- Force-close the game (from the recent apps menu) and reopen it. Or reinstall the game (with caution).⚠️
- If the issue persists, restart the device.🐦🔥
### **4. Corrupted game cache** 😬
- A corrupted cache can cause file management issues. ☠️💾
- *How to clear it*: 🧹
- Go to **Settings > Apps > [Game Name] > Storage**.
- Tap **Clear Cache** (DO NOT select "Clear Data," as this will delete saved files).⚠️
### **5. Game incompatibility or bugs** 🪲🙂↔️
- If the game is old or poorly optimized for the device’s OS version 🆕, it may fail to save data. 💾
- *Solutions*: 😀
1. Uninstall the game. 🚮
2. Restart the phone. 🔛🐦🔥
3. Update the game from the official store (itch.io). 👍
- Check if there’s a newer version or official patches. 🆕❤️🩹
- Look through forums or game reviews to see if other users have the same issue (it might be a known bug). ⚙️💡🗯️
### **6. Cloud saves (alternative)** ☁️
- If the game allows it, enable options like:
- **Cloud saves** (Google Play Games, iCloud, "Sync Account," or the game’s own services). *Edited by me: I know there’s an online page that lets you save and edit game files, but I can’t remember the name right now. If I recall it, I’ll update this part.*
- **Account sync** (Facebook, Google, etc.).
This prevents progress loss when reinstalling or switching devices.
### **7. Manual file backup (for advanced users)** 👩🏫
- If the game stores data in an accessible folder (like `/Android/data/[game_name]/`), the user could:
1. Use a file explorer (like **Files by Google** or **Solid Explorer**). *Edited by me: You could also use a combination of Shizuko and ZArchiver APKs.* 🗃️
2. Locate the game’s folder and make a backup of the save files. 📁
3. Paste them elsewhere (like Google Drive) to restore them later if needed.
*Note*: This doesn’t work for all games, as some encrypt their data. 🚫
### **8. Contact game support** 🆘
- If nothing works, advise the user to contact the game’s developer.
- They can do so via:
- The **"Support"** section on the game’s app store page. 🆘
- The game’s official social media (Twitter, Facebook, Discord).
- They should include details like:
- Device model and Android🤖/iOS 🍎version. Example message: *"Hello, the save buttons aren’t working, and my progress keeps getting deleted. Is there a fix? My device is [model] and I’m using [Android🤖/iOS 🍎version]."*
- Steps to reproduce the error.
- If the game has a paid version, the developer might offer priority support. 🫰🆘
- *PritonDrive/Mega*: Some NSFW games allow manual backups (check the game’s official website). 🗜️
- If the game is paid or has a premium version🏅, the issue might be limited to the free version—check for differences.
**Here are some things you can try:**
1. Verify that the game has storage permissions. 👍🔓
2. Clear the game’s cache (not data). 🙂↔️💾
3. If the problem continues, reinstall the game (but back up the `/Android/data/[game_name]` folder first).
4. Contact the game’s support and report the issue.🆘 Hope it gets fixed soon! 👍🫂
