Important Update for Chapter 9 Early Access Players

If you played the early Patreon release of Chapter 9, there’s an important issue to address. Unfortunately, a bug has been discovered that prevents your decisions and save files from being transferred to Chapter 10. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, but the good news is that this bug is easily fixable. Here's how to resolve it:

How to Fix the Bug

Step 1:

Load the main save file that you plan to transfer to Chapter 10.

Step 2:

Play the game up until the point where the main characters are on the airplane at the end of Chapter 9.

Step 3:

Save the game before the end of Chapter 9 is shown. This step is crucial!

Fixing the Issue on Different Platforms

There are two ways to proceed depending on your platform:

For Android Users:

• Go to my itch.io page and download the updated version of Chapter 9.

• Update your app with this version.

• Load the save file you created in Step 3 and play until you return to the main menu.

• Congratulations! Your save is now fixed.

For PC/Mac Users:

You have two options:

Option 1:

• Download the updated version of Chapter 9 from itch.io, just like the Android version, but for your platform (PC or Mac).

• Load your save file and play until you return to the main menu.

• Your save file is now fixed.

Option 2:

If you don't want to re-download the full 8GB game:

• Download the two “script” files provided in the attachment.

• Navigate to the following folder on your computer:
  \CompanionofDarkness-Chapter9-pc\game

• Replace the existing files with the ones you downloaded.

• Start the game, load your save file, and play until you return to the main menu.

• Your save file should now be fixed without needing to download the full game again.
  
  I will publish a tool tomorrow with which you can check whether the save data has been transmitted correctly.
