Issues fixed

Start-up crash on Windows

If the game does not start at all, and instead shows the error message: 

Oops!
The game crashed!
The crash report folder named <timestamp> next to game executable.
It would be great if you'd send it to the developer of the game!
Delete or rename the UNCL.ttf file in the %WINDIR%\Fonts folder. This may affect/apply to other Unity games as well."Oops - The game crashed" :: Breach & Clear Bug Reports - last accessed on 2023-08-16</ref>

Start-up crash on OS X

The issue happens since there is a bug in Unity which crashes the game when started in fullscreen. In order to avoid the crash, the game needs to start in windowed mode.

Edit Schemes.Shadowrun.plist[4]
  1. Open $HOME/Library/Preferences/unity.Harebrained\ Schemes.Shadowrun.plist with a text editor.
  2. Edit the value for
    <key>Screenmanager Is Fullscreen mode</key> and
    <key>Settings.IsFullScreen</key> to 0 as seen below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

Other information

Transfer save game between Steam and other versions

Transfer save game between Steam and DRM-free versions[5]
  1. Launch the Steam version once, create a new character, wait for the first autosave (right away in the apartment) and then quit the game.
  2. Open <Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\234650\remote\saves\autosave.sav with a hex editor (e.g. HxD) and copy everything from the start to CREATION__ (blocks from 0 to A0).
  3. Open %LOCALAPPDATA%\EMU\Steam\remote\saves\autosave.sav and copy over (or copy write in HxD) the same blocks.
  4. Open <Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\234650\remote\saves\*.sav (* being the long filename of the file), copy the same blocks (0 to CREATION__) and copy them over the other save of the DRM-free version.
  5. Rename the save file of the DRM-free version so it has the same name as the save file from the Steam version .
  6. Move the two modified saves to <Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\234650\remote\saves.
