Issues fixed

"File GAME is missing!" error when saving

This game cannot make a save file automatically if it is missing.
Make GAME file manually[1]

  2. Make an empty text file called GAME (no extension). Saving will now work correctly.

Notes

  1. File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/1260920/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (1260920) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
