Issues unresolved

- 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] |

Game crashes when playing cutscene video
- The error message is
CPSE: Stream open file failed. - This is caused by the Indeo codec not being registered on the system.
