This happens when I interact with something, like examining something in the environment, using an item on something or most annoyingly of all, when I try to save the game by clicking the 'S' button.

I think it started at around day 4, but at first it only happened sporadically and I was able to avoid the problem by reloading and redoing a particular section until I made it through without getting a crash. But I'm on day 9 now and it's gotten to the point where it's pretty much guaranteed any interaction crashes the game, and I can't just save-scum my way through because saving also crashes the game.

I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the game while keeping the save files, but it doesn't help whatsoever. I've haven't touched DosBox's settings, except using the "Graphic Mode Setup" that's in the game directory to keep the aspect ratio intact, changed the scaling engine to 3x and set the window. resolution to that of my monitor.

Here is an screenshot of the error message I get:

If anyone knows how to solve this, I'd be immensely grateful. Or alternatively, if someone could give me a save file from the start of day 9, or even a bit earlier, that would also solve my problem.

This is on a laptop with Windows 8.1, with a quad-core Intel Core i5-3230M CPU @ 2.60GHz and 8 GB DD3 RAM.
