I had been playing the game for several days with no issues. I made my way through one characters good and bad ending and had started on another character playthrough and was nearing the end when suddenly the game crashed. I wasn't too worried about it at first thinking I could just reload my recent save and continue on. However when I restarted the game all my save data as well as all my unlocked CGs/Recollections/Media/Endings/etc. were gone. It was as if I had booted the game up for the very first time.
I started a new game and the first time I went to save I noticed all my old save files were actually still there I just wasn't able to access them from the start up menu. However all my CGs/Recollections/Media/Endings/etc. were still missing.
After trying several things and re-playing through endings only to have them disappear again the next time I load up the game I have noticed something. Sometimes when I go to start the game a prompt comes up in Japanese where you have to hit OK (only option). It doesn't pop up every time but when it does it seems that's when the game resets itself. If it doesn't pop up everything remains as it was the last time I played (saves and all extras intact). But since I don't know a lick of Japanese I have no idea if the prompt that pops says something about why my game is resetting.
Here is a screencap of the prompt I'm talking about: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ps8574adad.jpg
And just a note to rule out some common issues the computer is set to Japanese and I am playing as the admisitrator.
I did a quick search and didn't come up with any threads with the same issue... although if I missed something I apologize. If anyone could shed some light on this problem I would be super grateful. I'd really like to get this sorted out and finish enjoying the game.
