While the game plays fine for me, English patch included, it won't save. At all. If I click quicksave, there'll be a little sound like it's doing something, but the save file remains empty. If I go to 'save' through the menu, nothing happens, either; if I click a save file and then click 'save', the 'save' button will stick on its hover color for a while, like it's doing something, but the save file remains empty. It's not just the blocks-instead-of-text, either: there's no thumbnail, and I get no file that I can load later. Moreover, while I can finish a route if I play through it in one go, when I close the game and start it again, all my progress (CGs in the gallery etc.) are gone - so that's not saving, either.
I'm using Aya-chan's upload because I've used several of her uploads before and they've always worked great. (Much respect and appreciation for all the hard work, Aya-chan!) I've uninstalled and reinstalled with no improvement whatsoever. My files (and file size) are the same as the picture Koji-chan shared, except that (predictably) I'm missing the SaveData file. While I presume that creates itself, I added it manually just to see if I could fool the game into saving anyway, but no such luck.
Have I done something wrong during installation? (It's possible!) Is there something else I'm missing? (Undoubtedly so!) Should I just try someone else's upload and see if that somehow fixes the problem? (I'll try if I have to, but I'd rather directly deal with the problem, rather than adopting the "turn it off, then turn it on again" method of solving technological problems ad infinitum...)
Sorry for the wall of text. If someone knows what the problem might be, I'd be ecstatic. I really want to play more of this game, but playing entire routes in one go is not something I can do every day - and then there's the routes that only get unlocked after completing other routes... meaning I'd pretty much have to play through the whole game in one go to actually be able to play through it all. Unfortunately, that's just not humanly possible. I really, really want to be able to just save.
I'm sure I'm just doing something wrong, somehow, or missing something really obvious, but I have no idea what. -_- Any help would be greatly appreciated.
