Did you have a crash during the christmas event?

[Tigron5654]

Did you have a crash during the christmas event?

yes that has something to do?

[jmwall24]

Yeah, so you need to restore a backup persistent from as late as possible on december 24th. Please refer here for how to do that. Once you find the persistent folder, make a backup copy of it just in case something goes wrong.

hey just a question do I have to change the db.mcal to?

[jmwall24]

Nope, that doesn't need to change. Were you able to resolve the issue?

[Tigron5654]

well apparently I did but the db.mcal needed to be changed to.

[jmwall24]

dbcal doesn't need to be changed, what's going on?

[Tigron5654]

soo apparently the db.mcal the original one just restores the persistent file so you need to change it to the same as the persistent backup if it happens to anyone.

[jmwall24]

that's not true, can you send a screenshot of what it looked like when you restored the persistent?

[Tigron5654]

first you will think I'm stupid but what exactly you need to see is the game or the archive.

and the think is that when I don't change the db_mcal the game just loads and Monika tell me that someone left a letter in the characters folder for me and the persistent I'm trying to load apears as persistent_bad.

[jmwall24]

something went wrong then. were you able to get her to react to Christmas and the gifts?

and i wanted to see a picture of the folder with the persistents in it

ok so I'm going to see if the error doesn't persist but now it actually loaded the persistent without needing to change the db_mcal

[jmwall24]

just make sure she reacts to it being christmas and the gifts and you should be good to go

[Tigron5654]
