I honestly have no idea how this types of games are developed, I am not involved in that world, so no, as far as I know I have not done or modified anything.
So far I have started four new games and the same thing has happened in all runs, each one with a different difficulty in case the problem happened to depend on it. I dont know if the "Story Mode Only" difficulty should work exactly as described, but on that difficulty the battles dont work automatically either, or if they should be skipped automatically, the game doesn't and I have to play it manually. I have even reinstalled the game twice, but its always the same.
I have changed a parameter once, but it was from within the game itself, in the book that appears at the bottom left on the global map, I just enabled and then disabled the "instant movement", I know that the other options that influence in the story mode, scenes, etc, can cause some error in the game cause it warns you about that, but I havent touched any of that.

] I havent received anything through cheats or weird benefits from the game [such as those that give you items when you start a new game after having completed it for the first time], just the normal things that everyone probably had in that stage.
The only thing I have done is install a patch to have the game in Spanish, well, I think better said it was the complete game but in Spanish, since its weight was more than half a Gigabyte. But as a comparison with the original game, that file was losing +100MB, so, I had a neuronal activation and decided to past all the files from that "patch" into the original game folder. The game had a save of a few minutes played that I ended up deleting, I suppose it was to test that the language was correct, would you suspect that this "patch" was the reason? I havent played the original version as such, only in Spanish.
Thx for the help btw, especially with the zombie effect icon. And sorry for all the text.
