I do not know if this happens to others but when I enter the game and select to load or also when I go to preferences it is pasted and the game no longer responds I am not using any of the mod's and it continues to work, someone knows what it is, please let me know why it is.

I don't fully understand what you're saying but does your game crash when that happens ? If so, can you attach the file named "traceback.txt" in your reply to this post ? This file is located where you installed the game :

It would help if you specify what form the crashes take. Do you get an OS (what OS?) error, does it just hang, etc. What hardware are you running it on? Memory, GPU, etc.

Ok.
Update the game to the last version first ; 0.2.3.2 ( check the links in the front post).
If it doesn't solve anything, try that : where you installed the game, created an empty text file named use_fixed_resolution_720.txt ( if you have known files extension hidden, just name it use_fixed_resolution_720 ).

Está bien.
Pruebe eso: donde instaló el juego, creó un archivo de texto vacío llamado use_fixed_resolution_720.txt (si tiene la extensión de archivos conocida oculta, simplemente asígnele el nombre use_fixed_resolution_720).
[/CITA]
Tengo el juego instalado en la unidad "C" y según mi máquina tiene una resolución de 1366 x 768, no sé si eso tiene algo que ver.

It doesn't matter if you installed the game in drive C:, D: or whatever.
The rest I don't understand, French or English is OK.

Monsieur X is far more experienced than I, but I am curious as to what you mean when you say the game just sticks and you have to force it close. In other words, when you click on Yvette's cute face nothing at all happens? Or does the game start, but not advance?
