Saves from 0.18 should work, regardless the location. Please drop the part of the error message above "--- Full traceback" into here, if possible, thx.
Yeah, thx, this is a missing sprite. Could not reproduce it yet. Which clothes does your Alex wear in the second attempt? Anyway, nice try ;-)
Yeah, click on the screen until it stops, then click again and wait patiently ;-). When using "space" or "Ctrl" or whatever to skip it the animation is not being removed from the foreground. I think it is a performance issue and related to the kind of transition into the next picture.

Yeah, this release tried to achieve too much and piled new bugs above old ones. On the other hand, F95 jumped on the alpha this time, not the beta. Next beta will be around July, 2nd.
