KOTAMON Bug Guide: Protect Saves and Report Repro Steps

The developer explicitly requested demo bug feedback. This guide prioritizes observation and reversible actions and does not assert undocumented save paths or fixes.

Evidence boundary: Checked August 22, 2026. Demo and pre-release observations are not treated as guaranteed full-release facts.

Freeze the evidence

Before changing settings, write down the exact symptom and capture the on-screen error. Note the last normal action and whether the problem survives a game restart.

Identify the build

Record whether you are using the demo or full game, the Steam build/update time if visible, and Windows version. A report without version context is hard to reproduce.

Try reversible actions first

Restart the game, remove optional overlays, restore a changed setting, and verify installed files through Steam. Test after each action.

Do not guess the save path

Do not delete AppData, registry keys, or cloud data based on generic advice. Wait for an official location or support instruction. If a path is confirmed, copy rather than move files for backup.

Build minimal reproduction steps

Start from a known menu or save, list each input, state the expected result, and state what happened. Remove irrelevant exploration until the smallest repeatable sequence remains.

Report with privacy in mind

Logs can contain usernames or device paths. Review attachments and redact personal data. Share reports through the developer's stated channel rather than reposting paid or copyrighted assets.
