Hey guys, I found something completely by accident, but I'm not sure if it's just my system or not.
I accidentally exited out of my game right after I saved it- Not a problem, right? I saved the game, no big deal.
I went to load the game after hitting quite, and got a program exception violation that shut the game down! I attempted it again, just to see if it was a fluke. To date, I've repeated this same issue a total of twenty-four times.
Another issue which may or may not be my system also is that it appears as though the WM Editor can no longer be used to edit the config file. I changed three stats, (I wanted to try with a slightly higher chance of meeting a girl, slightly less favorable house odds, and a higher chance of random gang stats), and the game went into exception every time I attempted to start it. When I replaced the config file (because I always create backups) it worked again like normal.
The one thing I did notice with this issue is that every time I edited only one stat, the game would start, but the studio, arena and center were gone. Not sure if that tells you anything.
EDIT: Sorry, just remembered one other thing I noticed, though I think it's that buggy random engine. Just in case, though... I've been having girls die on me left and right for no reason. Fortunately, I save my game every time I go to the next week, so I just restart and reload, but- I had some chick I had just bought die "of her injuries," when she didn't have any!! (And seriously... Losing Summer Glau? NOT cool! lol)
