Summary0003151: Starting a new story seemingly misses beginning story triggers.
DescriptionI decided to start the story from scratch. Problem is, after the scene at the beginning with Harold none of the other story is triggered. Eric is not outside waiting, when I go to the school i don't have to get dressed for PE, I don't get send to the principles office etc. But other text (with Judie for instance) does mention these story parts as if they happened.

So, I tried clearing the Persistent via the preferences, tried deleting saves in the game/saves map, tried an earlier build (thinking that I could play to the point where the trigger was triggered, save and load that save in the newest build) but now found that none of the older builds (exept really old ones) start the story. I'm 100% sure they used to.
I'm asuming that the "newer" builds get their info (saves and such) from a map somewhere else? Maybe on the c: disk?

Fixed it.
What was apperently happening was indeed that the "new" builds all took some info from a central map on the c: disk. And even though I kept starting a supposedly 'clean new game' it still saw certain story triggers as having been activated (started with the shovel in my backpack, didn't get the naming events for Jenny and Debbie, started with the police visiting, most locations already unlocked, etc.)

To fix this delete your Summertime Saga map, then go to 'C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming' and find and delete the map 'RenPy'. Then Re-extract the newest version of Summertime Saga. Everything should now work as intended.
