FIXED!!!!!! - Dog Ending Does not work!!!!

[Terry_Sunderland]

For some reason no matter how manny times i try i simply can't get this ending (its the only one i need for a platinum achievement).
as soon as i use the dog key on the observatory instead of loading the ending the doors open y and i can enter the room (as a normal regular room), Mira is not in the room and i can pretty much "no clip" the console and walk around the room.

This is not true. People are using downloaded saves just fine.
Either you did something wrong transferring the files or your computer is broken.

"Computer is broken" lmao
People who using ng+ saves, loads them as a normal game save. I share my saves for others and i have a many proof's of this bug.
I think that's why they dont't added steam cloud yet)

Mi computer is fine...
what kai is telling you is exactly what happened, same reason MY own savefile got corrupted, there is some kind of "flag" that checks if the ng+ correspond to the player, if you remove your own file it gets corrupted and then it loads as a "normal playthough" instead of ng+

you cannot import any savefile of ng+
the game loads and plays normally with all the items, but none of them work (i checked several downloaded files and my very own files, and not even drinking white claudia works once the game thinks you are not on ng+)

Well, in saved games folder there is a file called PersistentData.sav which contains some boolean properties with names like bHasEverFinishedGame, bUserSawNewGameInfo, bHasSeenLeaveEnding.
Since verifying the game does not actually delete any files, I would guess that this PersistentData.sav file is shipped with the game files (and not created by the game on the first run like many other games do) so that's why it also gets "verified" and since it is "different" from its default state it gets overwritten with default values effectively erasing your stats completely including the new game status. Even though your actual saves still remain, it appears the game is also checking that file to hand you your appropriate ending. This is all just guesswork, of course.

U right.. i have old backups of this file and saves and with him all work correctly.. But now I don’t have the current version.. this file is been overwritten. I tried to open it with a text editor but half of the text is gibberish

If you were doing multiple endings in one run it could be from the rebirth ending, I saw a thread discussing being unable to get the dog ending with all 4 rebirth items in inventory. I personally had no problems since I kept multiple save files and didn't take the last book for the other endings. Also from the "load" menu you have 2 previous autosaves so I'd suggest trying to load up the further back one and see if that fixes it.

XXXarenXXX was right! the game DOES check against that file (and aparently that's the one that got corrupted for me hence my own saves did not verify.

every single save i tried downloading did not had this PersistentData file included.

now that i used @kai files which DID included this PersistentData it worked fine!

thx guys

Dogs have disappeared from my data.
If I use Kai's data, will it overwrite the data that appears after the ending?
Number of dodges, number of windows broken, etc.
