The game works well, but I just can't save the game. I press save and then it doesn't let me to press enter or any other key, unless I hold enter and then press escape, and then when I exit the game and try to load there are no saves. Did this happen to anyone?

yeah, we debugged this at one point and it seems that the DOS version is bugged. (They use a function that reads a line of text, when they actually want one that reads a character.) The focus of the game was probably on the windows version.

Thanks for you response. Is there anyway around this? Strange that they'd have a bug for such an important part of the game.

edit: maybe it's an OS thing? I have Windows 8, and this guy got it to save when he installed it on Windows XP: http://www.gog.com/forum/oddworld_series/cdro … _problems/post5
