Build 25236687

Hello everyone!

A small update is now live, with another group of fixes based directly on your reports and saves some very much appreciated players sent me. Some of these problems were very specific and took a bit of digging, but I was able to reproduce them and address the actual causes.

☕ Fixes and Improvements

• Ash’s shower gallery progress: Affected saves can now recover progress already recorded in their Journal, without unlocking scenes or variants the player has not seen.

• Ellis in All Romances: Ellis’s sore-feet café event now triggers correctly while playing with All Romances enabled.

• Journal portrait controls: Switching characters in the Journal should no longer occasionally require a second click after an ambient event changes.

• Clearer Jamie waterpark guidance: The gallery now explains when the remaining waterpark scenes require Jamie’s romance route and Relationship Level 4, instead of suggesting that more friendship-route visits will unlock them.

I also made a few compatibility changes to the Windows launcher after a small number of players had trouble starting the game. These changes should prevent the launcher from being removed automatically on affected systems.

Please give the update a try and let me know if anything still behaves strangely. Thank you again for the detailed reports, saves, and patience. They made it possible to fix the actual problems instead of guessing!
