For me it was a resolution problem.It would really be nice if you could answer my questions.
- what's your display resolution?
- can you play the game if you don't try to load/save or go to the options?
In the meantime, please try the following fix. I'm 99% sure it will work, although it means you will only be able to play at 1280x720 until I come up with a better idea.
Copy the content of the zip into your game folder (unpack it!).
Just to be 100% clear. Inside the zip is a folder named game. Inside that folder there are 2 files.
These 2 files need to be placed in the folder: "on your pc wherever you installed HI"/game
If you are not asked if you want to overwrite 1 file, you did not put it in the correct place.
Everyone can use the included "screens.rpyc" file. The next version will have it anyway.
If you are able to change the resolution depends on the file "use_fixed_resolution_720x.txt". if it is present in the "your HI folder"/game, the resolution changer will be disabled. If you remove or rename the file, resolution chages are enabled again.
EDIT: Feedback if this works for you would be appreciated.
If this works, I will try to support "use_fixed_resolution_900" and "use_fixed_resolution_1080" as well.
Game (0.190 beta version) is unplayable under 1024x768, but works fine under 1280x960.
