hey man, thanks a lot:)
The game for sure it will end up loads better.
Hmm, strange, I fixed such issues before the release. Do you have the save.dat that causes issues with "Load The Last Game"? If yes, please upload it here as a file (if possible) or e-mail it to me: burzum_mewtwo@yahoo.gr
I will try to reproduce that as well, going through your excellent details. Are the save slots in save.dat, in sequence? Could you reproduce it? (backup the original save.dat somewhere else). Just to make it appear to me.
Yeah, you can simply remove the save slots until you end up with the one you want, preferably setting the slot = 0, but that's as much as my hypothesis go.
<save slot="0"> ... </save>
