I still can't SAVE the game!

[。゜*:;。Foxxxy。゜*:;。]

I know there is an issue with saving the game if your pc username has non-english letters in it and that there are some "fixes" to this problem but none of them worked for me.

I tried renaming my username with the method in this thread http://steamcommunity.com/app/488660/discussions/0/352788917761208016/
but it actually ♥♥♥♥♥♥ my system quite a bit since i got several errors on startup. So i had to reverse everything back to what it was before...thankfully my pc works fine again but now i'm stuck with the no saving issue again =(

I wanna play this game so bad but i don't have enough time to do so in one go.

In edition to that annoying issue I have to go through day 0 over and over again just to see if i maybe fixed the problem every time I try sth different...just to see nothing changed at all...thats really really annoying @_@

I sincerely hope that you guys will make the game playable without having to mess with my config/username etc.

Maybe he mean on Day 0, is it intentional you can't save on Day 0 right?

[Vifth Floor]

Yeah, you can't save on day 0 or when in a story.

Yes, me too. I'm getting a similar error screen when trying to save after the tutorial for basic interactions

@Grash @Bassmind
It's most probably because of special character in your name (Russian or Japanese character, or non-ASCII character https://terpconnect.umd.edu/~zben/Web/CharSet/htmlchars.html )
We will resolve this quickly, but looks like you need to change your name :'(

[Bassmind]

Not really what I did wrong, the name I used was David.

Thanks for the quick response!

@Bassmind
Can you please send us the error message when it happens again?

[Bassmind]

Actually, it is happening each time I try to save my game. I ran the game twice and try to save it in different days, but always getting the same message:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

@Bassmind
Ok, have tried to resolve your issue.
Hope it works on the next update.
The next update will be in about 10 minutes.

[Bassmind]

Thanks for the update, but unfortunetaly it didn't work. I'm getting the same error when trying to save u.u
Not sure if you need something else from me. I live in Mexico and hence I have a latin american keyboard, but as I told you, I'm using David as my name in the game, so not sure if there's a problem with ASCII values.

Thanks for the effort!, nice game and I hope I can play it properly soon.

PS. Just as confirmation, I downloaded the update, as the version of the game in the error screen is:
Windows-8-6.2.9200
Ren'Py 6.99.10.1227
JustDeserts 0.2016.07.26.00

@Bassmind
Ok, looks like we've found the real problem with the encoding.
We will try to resolve this issue in several minutes/hours.
