Yeah I have the “gift” to stumble upon a problem, which might reveal other problem or issues.
Glad to hear and I also tested in loading one of my save states and one worked one didn’t. But I do not mind start from the beginning.
Yes, I know it can be tempting. But I need to re-iterate that using your saves from the previous version is not an option. Even if they seem to load fine, you're pretty much guaranteed to have corrupted data in the save file. Including flags and script navigation.
Sometimes even though the files extract successfully, you can have a corrupted download. I've had this happen a few times in the many games I've downloaded from Itch. Re-downloading usually fixes it.
