Regarding the save games. I noticed all my saves from playing 0.5 were not showing up like others noticed also. It seems the 0.51 version from here overwrites the config.rpgsave and global.rpgsave. I managed to get access of my save games by doing a restore of both menitioned files (yeah, yeah, I had a backup of an adult game... that's called paranoia
). I don't know any other solution.
Possible solution?! Didn't try that. Copy your saves out of the save folder (only the saves not the config.rpgsave and the global.rpgsave. Then start the game and do a save in every slot. After that close the game and copy the save files back into the save folder. Now you should have access to them?!
