Issues fixed

Bugged checkpoint system

Reaching a checkpoint in this game does not permanently save your progress, so you must either use a quick save via F5, or do a manual save from the pause menu to save your game. If you did lose any progress from this bug, you can work around it by skipping to any level you want.

4 CD Installation Problem

Only for the 4 CD retail version: This is to fix the pop-up that appears on CD 2, which says: "Delete all configuration and saved games files? (Answering YES will delete the XIII games install folder and all of its content)" Answering Yes or No stops the installation and constantly reappears if you start the installation again. Reportedly, appears on Windows Vista and Windows 7, only.^{[citation needed]}
