Hi Darktoz,

great game, really great, but I have an issue with very long loadings and instantly crashes after that long load. Until I started to use skip button, it worked fine, but I had to repeat some days and I start to skip scenes I already saw and now I can't play it anymore. It takes 5 minutes to load and then after 1 minute it will crash. I'm in day 30, I don't want to start a new game and be careful about skipping scenes, I want to continue playing my current game. What should I do ? Is there any fix or something ?

android or windows? how much ram do you have? have saved in multiple slots or do you have just that one save?

Windows 10, 16GB RAM and I have 3 saves. I deleted two of them, because they was somehow corrupted and still crushes. Then I made two new ones, so I keep them 3 so far and the game continues without crushes now, but I still experience the long loading about 5-10 minutes and even when I want to save the game it takes about 5 seconds to load the save game screen. This two things (save and load) constantly slowing down as the game progress, even though I have a pretty strong PC

edit: right now, the current save have around 75 days played, I'm on the step 8 in church and when I tried to load the game, I was waiting more than 20 minutes and the game was still not loaded, so I gave up

I also tried to create a new game and it loaded right away, so it seems like the more progress you have or more scenes you seen in the game, the more you'll have to wait to load

edit2: I tried it again, but even after 2 hours, the game save didn't load :/

that sounds weird. the game can take a bit longer to load due to the amount of pictures, but not 2 hours. maybe reinstalling the game in a different location can help, but i am not sure what causes this problem.

I don't know, what do you mean by "reinstall", because the game has no installation at all. There's just files and different location can't really help, though, but I tried to download the game again and it didn't helped. The problem seems to be in the save game files. I made a couple of new games and I played a little while. One of the most game breaking bug I found was in Charlene second (A) scene, when she want you to say it, that you like it and you save the game before answer. When then you try to load this save, the save game file ended up corrupted, something about some variable is null, sorry, don't know which one it was exactly. One of the most newest save I played has 27 days and again, after church step 8, it's impossible for me to load the game.

There's a pattern, I think. My oldest save has around 75 days and it worked fine, until I've done church scenes up to step 8 (I overlooked church for the most of the time, so the game run ok and start doing this scenes around day 61-65, I guess). In this newest save, I made church scenes almost right away and I can't load a game anymore even when I played only 27 days, so I would have suggested, that the problem could lies in the church scenes or some game mechanics involved in church scenes, maybe

if you have the newest version of java installed and everything else up to date and you tried redownloading and installing, i do not know how to help you, sorry. a few other players have problems with saving and loading...it is engine related and not much i can do about it because the game engine doesn't really get support anymore, but i don't think i have encountered anyone that has to wait 10+ minutes to load a save. don't forget that this game is quite popular...it has over 50 000 downloads here alone on itch.io. not to mention the download on patreon and other places...

...that means many have played and completed it. completed it with all church scenes and until day 84. you think that everyone who plays this game experiences the same issues as you do, but that is not the case. i think in this case it is a connection between the engine and the drivers and operating system that is installed. but, of course, i can't say for sure.

I have no doubt that the game is popular, but I'm achievement hunter, I know how most people play the game. Only few actually finish the game,m even if they pay for it and not that many play half of it and the most people who actually finish the game, they finish it in one sitting. About the game, yes I have newest version of java, I redownloaded the game and even start a new game and still have problems, but it's weird. I've done some testing. I've done kinda speedrunning, skip everything, load some scenes multiple times, carefully watched the game speed and here some results:

The game was fast until I purchased backstage in club. After that the game slightly slowed down (saving about 3 seconds, loading about 1-2 minutes). Then I rushed through the church as I possibly could and I experienced real slow down after each single step. The most slow down was on step 8 and after finishing the rest of the steps, the game go fast again (I had to wait only like 5 second or so to load the game, what was really nice). Then I started to make church tests and there was a problem, because I had to level up other stats, but after each single test the game again was slowing down. I made 3 church tests and then I reached day 60, when I had a date and this date really messed up with the speed (almost 5 minutes to load) and after that date, the loading of the game was around 10 minutes. But after finishing the day 60 and start day 61, I wasn't able to load the game anymore. I don't know what was the problem, but at least in my case, the church scenes and the date in day 60 are messing up with my game. I really love that game, I play it at least 5 times to day 60-70 and I still love to go again, but I'm also sad for having this issues, because I can't really enjoy the game. My only chance is speedrunning to finish the game and it's not fun at all.

I also found some typos in last church scenes with Jezebel and Hannah: "It is he right things to do!" is only sentence I remember, where was the typo, but there was another line where was typo as well, but I don't remember it. But I know, that the sentence appear twice and in both cases was with typo.

Well, I think, the issue won't be solved, so I try to finish the game in one sitting. But! I have to say it again, I really love this game, it's very unique, very good. I love dirty talking so much and some nuances like Raven's last suggestion about cum and I would love option to do that :) My favorite characters are: Jazz and Roxxy and I really hope, Nastia get foot fetish scene, she have hot body and feet! I also hope Tanya Rider, Raven, Annaconda, Erica Vulkov, Isa Frost and Nikita Benz get more content :) Keep up good work, I have my fingers crossed for you, because even I have technical issues, I really think the game is awesome and I have big respect for what you have done so far
