Update deleting saves

New update for Mac just deleted all of my saves, including the 11 hours of reading I'd already done.

For ♥♥♥♥'s sake; this game crashes half the time, and has now deleted saves. It's a visual novel, not a very complicated program, how can you take years to release products and they're still broken?

Hmm. Instability and such aside, maybe the update changed the location of the save files? This would make it appear that they are gone, when it just can't see them any more. If this is true, and you can find them and move them to the new location (which you could find by making a save in a specific slot, since the filenames have the slot numbers in them, e.g. "save001.dat" for slot 2), then you might be able to get them back. Maybe. I guess it depends how compatible they are across versions.

Anyway, good luck.

There was a bug where the game used the old "unity.MangaGamer.Higurashi When They Cry - Ch.7 Minagoroshi" folder, so your saves might located there. I guess you can copy them over to the correct folder ...

Thank you for your reply.

I cannot find this folder on my Mac; where might it be? I deleted Chapter 7 a long time ago, but I did notice that the save from Minagoroshi was still there, but I cannot find them.

Try searching for files with the name save000.dat (assuming you saved something in the first slot).

I tried; nothing comes up. I also can't seem to see save files in general on a Mac. Thank you anyway.

It might be in a place the search doesn't normally look. Are there options to control that? Sorry, I don't know Mac OS at all.

Hey, I'm thankful for any help at all. I wish this was Windows, it's much more open. I've searched "This Mac" (which I think means everything); I suspect that this file type is hidden and I've no idea where to even begin.
The effort to read this VN just gets harder; it's crashed again.
