For some reason, I can't launch this game from the itch desktop app no matter how many times I install and reinstall it. Not sure what's going on with that.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't work through the app unfortunately.
The comments below talk about it, hope they help.
Thank you! Sorry I didn't see the other comments.
I like the combination of gaming and music, so its a pretty nice game and it was a lot of fun to roundabout Chapter 3.
But today I wanted to continue playing but the game just had the option "new game", and "continue" wasn't clickable anymore . So it seems either the save game is bugged, gone or the game uses a different method of saving progress. I couldn't find any save game in the folder and some other folders, even after starting a new game and playing the first song. I won't start a new playthrough from the beginning, but maybe I'm not the only one with this problem and we can find a solution that others could deal with this problem.

Hi, sorry to hear that. Did you by any chance run KlangTest.bat? Found out recently I had the Steam uninstall script included in the itch submission. If you've tried to run the bat file manually from the games folder it would explain the missing save file.
Please let me know if that wasn't it.
Cheers

Hi, first of all I wanna say your support is awesome.
After downloading I wanted to start it via the itch launcher, which didnt work (nothing happens), so I started it always with the nw exe. Yesterday I accidentally pressed "start" in the launcher again (I dont know exactly what happens, but it surely doesn't start the game and it hopefully doesn't run KlangTest.bat, but that is highly unlikely) and then as always via the nw exe. And there I couldn't continue (tried it with a restart ofc).
So I didn't run anything besides the nw exe. Where exactly is the save file normally located or what is it called?
Greetings
The save file is located at this folder in very obscure link path:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Klang2\User Data\Default\IndexedDB\chrome-extension_gcmhekclmgamclhemmgplpngafohjgop_0.indexeddb.leveldb
000003.log is the actual save file. The steam version has an extra CloudSaveFile.txt in the same folder, which takes priority over the nightmare fuel log file.
Some other things I can see affecting the save file:
- The game engine generates this save folder. Are you playing on Windows 7, 10 or 11? If it's played on Linux I can't guarantee the save file system even works.
- Are you using any folder cleanup software that may delete files in AppData?
- I don't know if the Itch app affects anything. I reached out to support once I learned the game can't boot from the client. Never heard back from them. :(
Hope that helps.
Thanks a lot.
I searched for the files and the whole "klang2" folder in "Local" wasn't there at all (so my old save is sadly gone). After playing the intro to create a save it shows up with the save file and everything else.
And just for testing purposes I pressed the "start" button in the itch app again and as result the whole "klang2" folder was gone again.
So it is actually because of the itch app.
Very unfortunate but its always a relief finding the problem. And maybe it'll help someone to avoid the same mistake (if this happens reproducable).
Thanks again for the help, it was a pleasure playing the game, your support is awesome and have a good day :)
Greetings
Thanks for clarifying. Now I'm seriously wondering if the itch app tries to use the .bat through some weird auto detect feature, or if it has it's own appdata content it tries to create...
HELLO! ive been eyeing this game for a while now and today i finally got to play this. ive played a lot of rhythm games in my life but i think this is the first one that in addition to the gameplay i like, also offered me an interesting story and equally interesting worldbuilding. i found myself playing songs not only for the rhythm game reasons but also bc i wanted to see what happens next which is totally the first for me. usually when people play rhythm games its mainly for the gameplay itself and don't get me wrong, i like it, i very much enjoy how kinetic and dynamic the song levels are, but the storyline+atmosphere bonus is a very welcome surprise. definitely wanted to highlight that in my comment, keep up the good work !!!!! klang 2 stan 4 life
Thank you so much! I put a lot of effort into the story presentation, so it definitely warms my heart to know someone out there liked it!
not letting me start the game
Sorry to hear that. I double checked the build and it works for me.
Without additional context I can only make basic suggestions.
- You may not have enough vram, what is your GPU? I recommend having at least 2gb. Are there lots of other apps running in the background consuming available video memory like adobe software?
This is likely the culprit if you're unable to play the full game, but able to play the demo.
- Have you tried running "dxwebsetup.exe" in the game folder?
Cheers
Tinimations
thank you i will try that
Maybe it's the same problem as mine? If I launch the game from the Itch app, whith sandboxing enabled, it won't run. But if you launch the game directly from the installation folder (nw.exe), it runs just fine.
Game which, if I may add, is quite good. :)
There's an itch app?!
And thanks, glad you like it!
Edit: Contacted support regarding how to figure out the itch app problem.
