I am consistently getting crashes after a random time of playing, usually in the mansion, during the scenes. all of them have given an error code that pertains to the "persistent save" file. is there any way to fix this?
I never experienced crashes so it's hard to say.
Persistent save is part of a plug-in that isn't necessary to run the game but it is to unlock a bunch of things in the game. Gallery, endings etc. all work with that plug-in.
Try deleting the plug-in "JKL_PersistentData" in Statues Win 0.9\www\js\plugins
