but, i havent even been to the bathhouse with laurie at any point in this playthrough. nor to lillibets world, never saw the 'save her from the ruins' scene, and thinking back, i also didnt get the eve/laurie bathhouse scene where laurie catches you watching.. and i absolutely didnt see those introductory scenes with the other two, they just turned up and started talking to me as if we had already met..
maybe the saves are corrupted .. i do still have the saves from the old game version in my appdata folder.
its almost like my new game is getting prompts or triggers from my old gamesaves, even though they wouldnt load (i got the 'rollback/ignore' screen, with rollback crashing the game, and ignoring taking me to the main menu, from where i started anew)
i think im going to have to go and remove my save games from the hard drive, then restart.. that should sort it out. i'll let you know how i go.

heres some of the traceback log :

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:

  File "game/d6.rpy", line 4038, in script

    menu:

  File "game/d6.rpy", line 4038, in script

    renpy.call_in_new_context('_game_menu')

  File "renpy/common/00action_file.rpy", line 462, in __call__

    renpy.load(fn)

Exception: Couldn't find a place to stop rolling back. Perhaps the script changed in an incompatible way?
