try deleting the "progress.json" file in your episode folder

It worked apparently, and also when it had the error, progress.json was just blank. How can progress.json go blank and give me this lousy error?

I’m guessing Progress.json is where Savedata is stored. Like Star coins and custom currencies, and world map locations. Correct me if I’m wrong.

progress.json is used to store data relating to achievements if memory serves me right. the rest of the non-basegame save data is stored in the "ext" save files.

if the game crashes or encounters some kind of issue while it's in the middle of writing to progress.json, the file's contents may end up malformed, which the game isn't made to properly deal with. normally, an "empty" progress.json is supposed to contain an opening and closing curly brace, like so:

Code: Select all

{}
but if it's completely empty, the built-in json reader will throw an error.
