Hmm. It's been a long time since I've poked around the Chess Room. I've been antsy to jump back in and have even considered erasing my save and started over, though to lose all that progress and start over would be brutal, even if it was expedited. Plus the trophies, I know 8 are required for one thing, but I'm unclear if all 16 do something in game as I haven't gotten to poke around yet.

Can't you at least play around Dare or Curse mode without issues? At least until a higher day count. Assuming you didn't beat both yet.

I had no idea the spare room had tiered upgrades, pleasant surprise. I currently have a Spare Master Bedroom, which is helpful for experiments because steps themselves aren't really critical at this stage.

For sure. I ended up with Spare Veranda, but there was also a spare Terrace and Patio. I do think my spare Green Room had better items in it most of the time which is kind of annoying right now. I constant found the broken lever or watering can there and occasionally a shovel. As much as I love everything green rooms, I'd probably now pick a spare hallway.

For the others: 2gem Storeroom, 2key Parlor, key Hallway, Guess Bedroom (omg I hate this one), 2dice Boudoir, Cloister of Lydia, Starfish Aquarium, Bedroom Closet, 2key Nook, No Contact Mail Room, Corriyard, gem Bunk Room, Speakeasy, Indoor Nursery.

You're missing on thanks to the Breakfast Nook. The free eggs and sausage every day to get the Morning Room added is very nice. The Morning Room is probably my favorite room. The effects are great and it almost always has 1 item in it too.

@TD how big is your save file? Are you using the stock drive? I'm thinking that I could get back into this for a bit if I know my save file is smaller than yours, especially if I move it over to the faster SSD (which should mean it can handle a bigger file size before it runs into the problem they described).

So the save bug affects all slots once you've been affected... but...

You've actually given me an idea with this. I have beat Dare and Curse, but since I did the backup, my overall save isn't corrupted. Which means I could in theory use slot 2 for another Bequest mode slot without erasing my main run. I'd have to redo all the permanent stuff, but I know puzzle solutions and such so it should be expedited. SD might be a pain but I actually think I might do just that and scratch the itch that way. Plus I can focus, maybe even rechoose my upgrades in the new slot instead of trying to reroll...

Yeah, I'm doing it.

So I've only ever drafted it after I can from the Kitchen meal, but I think I'll do just that in my new run.

So my save is 47.45MB and stock drive. It seems to affect everyone regardless, and all save files are the same size.

That said, if you're staying below Day 100, you should be fine.

Oh, I thought the explanation you posted said save files got so big they took too long to save, and that caused the problem.

It definitely sounds like that with the way it's worded, but it's more how the game's internal save engine interacts with the compressed nature of PS5 files from what I understand as all players have the same file size.

In other news. New save is underway after an hour. Room 46 done, 3 permanent additions, 7 upgrades. Trickier stuff comes next, that won't be nearly as quick.

I did like 3 runs of curse mode for the fun of it. I was very amused by the orchard. Did get the gem mine open day 1.

Day 2 I started with 3 steps. That was uhhh... interesting. I did get fairly far, but couldn't make anything meaningful out of it.

Later I'll get back to my main one and continue working on the tunnel. That and reclaim what is rightfully mine. As long as the rooms pop up that is.
