You’re right, animations don’t work. :D
Strange. Animations crash now for me too. I remember they worked with my old Wine version. Right now I'm on 6.10-staging.

Either it is the AVPro video plugin or Wine causing the problem. :unsure:

But right now I'm too lazy to downgrade and try older Wine builds.

For the record, I grabbed the Crossover free trial and it looks exactly the same as my wine install did prior to installing the winetricks stuff (animations crash, no tooltips). Should I just ditch Crossover or is there something I could try with it to get the whole thing to run? :)

Ditch Crossover. Wine is build on Crossover, means Crossover use newer features and codes which will be added to Wine later.

Update on Wine and animation: I tried Man of the House wit the latest Wine version and animations no longer work (they worked with an older version of Wine). I think it has something to do with quartz.dll and a newer version of Wine.

Saves are stored in the game's installation folder.
Mystwood Manor v0.44\profile\
Don't delete that "profile" folder if you want to keep your saves.
Extract v0.50 to a new folder.
Copy the "profile" folder, from the old version, to the new.

Inside the profile folder you should have 2 files: settings & history.
You should also have another folder with your username.
e.g. Mystwood Manor\profile\whichone\
Inside there are the saves.

Short answer is don't delete the profile folder.

This issue happens because you have modded the game

Actually it wasn't modified, and I found the problem, I had it under several layers of folders within each other, I moved it up to the main folder and voila it worked - but thanks for the response

Sorry, but I have to ask: How?
Personally, I have a folder titled Games.
I store my games there.
When I've finished a game, for RenPy I delete everything except for the game\saves folder.
For this game, I can delete everything except for the profile folder.
When a new version comes out, I download the zipped archive & then just right click and Extract here.
Then copy the saves folder from the old version's folder, to the new one's.
Then delete the (now empty) old one, completely.

How did you end up with the game being multiple layers of folder deep?
I honestly do not understand how this is possible, without choosing to.
Even then, where do all the other sub-folders appear from?

He writes poems at every single folder he creates... that's why
seriously for having this kind of issue he must have more than 255 characters counting all paths from root... really?
I can understand strange characters like japanese/chinese ones... but other than that is hard to have such problem...

lol well, either way, whatever the cause, it's definitely user error, not program error. (y)
