How to prevent the error issue occurring on startup.

Dear fans,

Thank you for playing Mad Father.

The purpose of this post is to explain the cause and how to fix the start up error that began occurring when the update was released.

[h3]Cause[/h3]
Due to the original version and remake version sharing the same save/load system file destination “Save/System.sav” there was an issue occurring where the game would try to load the original version System.sav causing an error to pop up.

[h3]Prevention[/h3]
Moving the entire Save folder or deleting it will prevent the error from occurring. If you require the files, please do not forget to back them up first.

[h3]How to find Save folder[/h3]
Right click Mad Father in Steam>Properties>Local Files. This should bring up the folder in question.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
