This game put saves in '...AppData\Roaming\RenPy\saves' ???
This could cause problem with another dev who decides to drop saves the same way.
The standard is to put saves in ...RenPy\<GAME_NAME-randomNumber>

I downloaded the full version. I was able to unpack the full version .rpa without problem yet the compressed version has the problem I pointed out in my original post:
+ Unpacking "Almost_Dead.rpa" - 52268124 bytes
Could not extract file from archive: [Errno 2] the requested file . does not exist in the given Ren'Py archive

The full version worked fine. After that the compressed version was running too...
Anyways I am running the full version now.
Downloaded the Compressed Version and extract the RPA

PC version keeps crashing randomly for me. If I try to scroll back to see missed text and then scroll forward to go back to where I was it will freeze and windows will say its no responding and I have to close it. Also sometimes, when I am reading and clicking through to get to the next part of the text, the text box is empty and I cannot move forward, I have to scroll back then SCROLL forward to get the text, clicking forward still wont show it. The game will lockup and go unresponsive sometimes when doing this and I have to close and relaunch the game. Also the game wont save my settings for music/sound volume ot text speed.

try <SHIFT> G then disable gamepad and restart the game - this fixed it for me.
Also bear in mind - when you force shutdown the game your settings will be lost.

I appreciate the work you do. I am using many of your compressed versions - this one didn't work for me. In diagnosing the problem I got the error msg when unpacking the .rpa with the latest unren.bat.
Sorry to hear that, i really don't know why, it wasn't working for you.

I'm not sure how to change that, but I'll see what I can do to fix it.

I had the same problem with some other games that i couldn't extract with unren or rpa extractor only way i could solve this was using python and typing the command to extract the rpa file manual

in options.rpy
define config.save_directory ="Almost Dead-NUMBER_OF_YOUR_CHOICE"
Thanks for that, it will be in the next update then!

And seriously?

don't shoot the messenger! For what is worth I gave you my honest opinion. You could take it or leave it. I am not hating the game - quite the opposite!

"Don't shoot the messenger!" you're trying too hard to hide you non-English language skills since you don't understand that metaphoric phrase.

Just so you know, I'm an old white guy born in Minnesota and raised in Florida spent 20 years in the US Navy(retired), and now I live in Malaysia.
English is my native and primary language.

I have been running into a issue with a few games, this one included. As soon as i open it a box appears and says i have to close the program. I've tried compressed and original, as well as i have deleted all the previous files that has to do with the game. i played the last update just cant get this one. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with my computer (using windows 7) or something else. I really enjoy the game when i played it last time. I have this same problem with 4 or 5 different games. It says Almost_Dead.exe has stopped working. (I know one time on a different game it had something to do with the icon you click to start the game, i had to download a older version of the game and replace the icons, and it worked after that. Now that was a different game). Will you please inform me if you may know or have any solution to this problem? Thank you in advance!
