Well, that’s the thing.

A permission error would be a problem with your device, that for some reason isn’t allowing you to READ files but allows you to WRITE them.

I don’t know if you’re on Windows, Linux or Mac. But it might be that the game can’t access the secondary save location.

WHERE ARE SAVES LOCATED ON PC?

PC > Local Disk (usually C:) > Users > USERNAME > AppData > Roaming > RenPy > CorruptedKingdoms-1547378918

WHERE ARE SAVES LOCATED ON MAC?

~/Library/RenPy/CorruptedKingdoms

WHERE ARE SAVES LOCATED ON LINUX?

~/. renpy/CorruptedKingdoms/

I’d say, check the permissions for those folders.

I'm on Android lol. The file is in android/data/com.domain.corruptedkingdoms.

The game can write a save file and read it no problem. But it somehow cannot read my old save files. Any ideas on why that is?

That’s even worse.

I’ve no idea why Android would get fussy over that.

I mean, it’s trying to write to it’s own private folder.

I’d say check in the app settings, give it permission to manage files.

But I don’t know if that would really fix anything…

RenPy and Android don’t get along well.

This is very confusing. How can it be a permission error when the game can read and write files without any problems.

It has no problem reading a save file that the game created but it doesn't do that for the old save files. I think it's either a version compatibility issue or just android being buggy.

So, unsure if you figured out the issue, but in some cases when you go to update a renpy game in mobile it can have some weird errors take place. My best example from experience is when I downloaded an update for a different game that refused to update the game, then the next update just installed a completely new game file (basically duplicating the game files with a new one) and the new one couldn't grab the save of the old file. Had to just start over entirely as well, because the save files were incompatible.

I bring up this example not as a "this is how you fix it" but a "I hope it isn't this bad for you" example of how fucky these games can be on Android ._.

Also, my old save files doesn't seem to have a "thumbnail?" Or whatever the picture that appears on the save slot.

It quite obvious that it can't seem to read my old save files, which I don't know if it's a compatibility issue? I could only guess cuz I am no game dev lol
