Issues fixed
Item gets stuck on the cursor
- Throughout the game you will encounter a snack bar owner to whom you have to bring an item. However, the item may get stuck on your cursor.
The exact cause of this issue is currently unknown, but it may be necessary to let the character animation complete before clicking any item. If you run into this issue you can't do anything except reloading a previous savegame. |
Quicktime can't find video files
- During certain parts of the game a Windows Explorer message may pop up stating that Quicktime couldn't find the video file the game wants to play back.
