Actually, that was a REALLY strange error. One particular file was causing it. And it wasn't out of space related. I could add bytes or remove bytes. But at that specific size it was at, it caused that issue. I figure it was compression related. Sometimes oddities happen with compression. I've had similar unexplainable issues happen on other games for no particular reason. Same thing happened on Princess Minerva once or twice during the final editing. Make a slight change and chaos would break loose, even though the change should work just fine. The problem is, we don't know what bugs the original code had that might unintentionally mess with our additions/changes even under the best circumstances. Odd things can happen at times even when everything is actually properly done on our part. |

This being the case, I'm really happy you were able to isolate the issue and fix it. I guess PM gave you a pretty good tune-up for dealing with such. I suppose that lead string really was a bug alert to writers. I've been handling this game with kid gloves for years. Happy it's out the door!

But, I guess I'll give it a spin. I remember it was even touchier. |
