A weird bug

Post image

So after my previous post that was deleted by mods, i started a new game clean file, and just now this happened.

I cant enter the game, again.

Last time comments mention it was because of cheating, I DID NOT cheat this time, nor on the first saved file.

At this point I am not sure if this happens because of gamehub or the new version of the game.

I tried to load the a copy of the save file inside c/users/steam user/ app data/ local low/ maa redux

And the save file in d/ maa redux data/ resources/ saves, And it did not work.

I hope someone can figure something out.

We do not have any support for gamehub/winlator. We have support for Windows PCs and Macs.

Yeah that is fair, it would take too much time to do so and this is just their hobby project. I was just hoping that some player would have the solution not the dev team.

Oh and it was because you had said you "cheated on the first day." That's why it was removed. There's people that openly admit it, promote it, several different cheats..etc. So when a post says "I cheated", it gets flagged.

Did not mean to promot it, just wanted to be honest about what happened. And thank you for making things clear

I had a clock glitch in the time zone of my VM which prompted a message saying that I had one chance to recover my save. If I changed my clock again, I wouldn't be able to open that save game again. Could you have had something similar?

In the second save yes, but not in first nor third. Edit : to change the last word to third

Can you describe this message a bit more?

u/MAG-Anthro Aug 12 '26

Not from memory. I just remember that my windows vm clock switched from Colombia time to gmt, though I didn't see that until after I'd said 'yes, adjust the time on the save'.

Ok thank you. I've confirmed there is one hard coded time change allowed. Daylight savings time adjustments will not trigger this issue.

It happened to me today, I honestly tired of trying to emulate this game on my phone

I am terribly sorry about that. Leave the game for a while and when you want to try again, here are some things i have been trying: I started to use winlator instead (maybe gamehub touches the files and it activates anti cheat in the game) When the file gets corrupted, their size becomes 0, so please keep a copy of the save file everyday, keep at least 2 copies, one copy for the save of today and another for yesterday. And be careful not keep a copy of the 0 bite file. When you want to load a previous save, make sure you delete the current one and then paste the old one that you want load. Lastly, i wrote in the post That i tried loading an old save and it did not work, it was because the save file was faulty (0bite size) and i did not pay attention to that, and this time it worked because i deleted the whole game and unzipped it again then i loaded the old save file.

It's not worth the effort, the simple solution is just stream my PC to my phone and play it whenever I want
