Dear all (and Dale),

Though I doubt this will be of any help to anyone, since forum-policy here seems to be to remove any referrals to external sites, I will still post the solution.

First of all, thank you Dale for your reply. I don't know if the site from which I bought the game holds all rights to it (I also highly doubt it, since their main commodity is Abandonware). But frankly, I don't think anyone at Mythos Software cares a whole lot about that, seeing as the game is 15 years old, the company no longer exists, and no other distribution channels offer the game. If anyone is making old art like this available to interested souls (plus putting work into making it compatible with new operating systems), I would imagine the developers to be thankful.

If you feel like looking into whether the aforementioned site actually is a legal business, they do have an English version of their site. Though reluctant to admit it, I do not speak Slovakian either.

Anyway, the solution, to anyone interested:

The game, as described, will run perfectly from just launching it straight after downloading (even without unpacking/zipping/raring). However, the save game problem occurs if the game hasn't been properly unpacked. After making sure that everything has been 100% packed out the internal save function in the game should work perfectly. Did for me at least.

Thanks again, and keep up the good work on your site. Don't let that mean El Odio get to you.
