Missing tips?
Feeling a bit confused, I’ve finished the main story + after-party now, and while I’ve read every tip when it got unlocked, I still seem to be missing the last 3. (Out of 14.) I’ve read and gotten 11 tips. After I read the after-party, I went back to the tip menu so I can skip over all of the tips so I wouldn’t have to read through them again for the achievement, but I noticed that 3 new ones appeared that aren’t unlocked.
Does anyone know what I did incorrectly?
I’m surprised that I failed to play a novel, since nobody else seems to be having this issue and I’ve also tried skipping all chapters to see if I did miss anything by accident, but nope. I’m playing with the patch btw.

What, you mean there are TIPS that aren't unlocked, even though you finished the arc?? That shouldn't be possible. Also, how do you know there are three you can't access? That's not how it's supposed to work. You get TIPS unlocked, then you can view them. Before they get unlocked, they don't even show up in the menus. So I don't understand what you mean, unless you're actually talking about achievements?

The only thing I can think of is "What's in the Box?" What did you do with that? However, that's only one.

I am just as confused as you to how this happened, but I mean what I said, I also never expected this to be possible. I can see that I'm missing them when I go to the tips menu after visiting the after-party menu. Here's a screenshot: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2902912943

Did "What's in the Box" twice with both answers, but unfortunately that didn't do anything.

It's weird lmao.

Okay, I see. There are indeed supposed to be a total of 14 TIPS. The three thumbnails shown on that page appear to be correct. Just so you know, they're supposed to unlock after the second-to-last chapter, the one where Akasaka has returned to the clinic and falls asleep.

So, it looks like there is some corruption somewhere. Not sure if it's in the game files or the saved data. For the former, normally, the thing to do would be to ask Steam to verify the files. But that will just disable the patch. You could try doing that and then reinstalling the patch.

If that doesn't work, then the next thing to try would be to wipe out the save data and then run through everything again. This shows where to find the save directory for the first arc, depending on your OS. The ones for this arc should be alongside it.

If you still have this problem, then you should contact 07th-Mod support[07th-mod.com].

If you go to the F10 mod menu, on the "Troubleshooting" page, (assuming you have the latest version of the mod installed), it should say "Game Cleared?:" and "Highest Chapter". It's my understanding that the "Highest Chapter" decides which TIPS you can view. I'm assuming "Game Cleared?:" is "Yes" for you, if it is "No", perhaps there is something wrong.

If you can tell me what your "Highest Chapter" value is, that might be helpful.

To force unlock the tips, you can click the button "Reset all Progress" 3 times, then close the menu, then click the same button (now called "Force Game Clear") 3 times, then re-enter the tips menu, you should be able to see all the tips (might need to restart the game).
