Issues unresolved
Game crashes when trying to load a save that was created during a dialog
- The game may crash with the error
GAME: Invalid talk node ID.
Issues fixed
Game crashes when attempting to load or save
- The error message is
CTRL: FindFirstFileEx failed. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
- The game assumes maximum Windows path length and only allocates a buffer that is just big enough.
- A typical Steam installation of the game has a path length that just exceeds this limit.
Choose a shorter path to install the game to. For the Steam version, refer to this guide.[citation needed] |
