Issues fixed

Crash on load of save game

Sometimes, the game crashes when trying to load your save game, essentially forcing you to restart from the beginning.[1] Fortunately, developer Hothead created a patch that fixes the issue in many cases; unfortunately, the patch was not published on Steam and needs to be applied manually. Due to the age of the game and the discussion surrounding this issue, as of 2017, the documentation on this fix is hard to find.

Getting and installing the unofficial patch[2]
  1. Download and open the following archive.
  2. Go to <path-to-game>.
  3. Replace the existing GameData-000001000.gg with the file from the archive.
  4. Launch the game.
