not sure why you got a black screen, they work fine for me, even going from beta 1 to beta 2, and it doesn't matter really, since game files where fix and has nothing to do with saves, i also delete the game folder and the KsTgames folder in LocalLow, extract the game so i got a fresh game folder and KsTgames folder, moved my saves back over, loaded up with no problems, but if you WANT TO USE CAPS, AND THINK IT'S THE SAVES THAT IS THE PROBLEM, WHICH IT ISN'T, HERE ARE THE SAME SAVES THAT I USED FOR BETA 1 THAT I WILL BE LOADING UP IN BETA 2 FOR THE FIRST TIME TO DO A RE SAVE JUST FOR YOU, and you are the only one that had problems with them, so that kind of gives it away that it's your game and not the saves, but here you go princess

The only thing that needs to be done with these saves is to repeat step 484 to get the new outfit
