Greetings. I seemed to hit a snag. I manged to get the game running quite acceptable. Everything went smoothly...until I reached nearer to the end of Chapter 3.
Basically the scene requires me to finish my report to hand it to my boss. After that the game goes into a black screen. It's as if the game is waiting for my action or something. I click to continue. I'm back in the game, however, I can't seem to perform any of the normal actions as if the game has been disabled. I'm forced to quit the game. Loading a previous save doesn't seem to fix the issue.
Anyone else have this issue?

Maybe try different core settings, and play with the xms/ems configuration.

OMG, a reply.
*dances*

Thanks for the suggestion. I manged to bypass the bug by the way. It seems I have to do some stuff before completing my task in that chapter. However the game seems to have branching paths. In one part, one of the characters die but the game locks up with a blank screen with the music playing in the background. The only way to by pass it is to save the character however walkthrus seem to point this character can die and the player can still progress forward.

What do the core settings mean by the way?
