Issues unresolved
Screen saver mode deletes save files
- Save files will delete themselves if the game is left running and your computer goes into screen saver mode. To avoid this, remember to quit the game before leaving it unattended or disable screen saver mode.
The game fails to restore resolution settings
- The game may fail to change the desktop resolution back to the previous one (by default it launches at 640x480 fullscreen).

Issues fixed
Game window too large for monitor
