Issues unresolved

The launcher is unreadable at 1336x768 and lower resolutions.
The launcher is unreadable at 1336x768 and lower resolutions.
The updated launcher was made for 1920x1080. Lower resolutions, such as 1336x768, causes text to overflow and become unreadable.
Revert to the original launcher[3]

Notes

Key remapping is limited in the original launcher.
Set Windows text scaling to 100%[5]

Random crashes

Most of the crashes occur in the following cases: Shibuya GG ending, Love Trap ending, and Grind Square ending.
There have been crashes during cutscenes and level transitions in Chapter 3.
Read Malumick's Crash Reducer[citation needed]

Issues fixed

Save games cannot be loaded

Sometimes, if the game is closed and then restarted, attempting to load a save triggers the first tutorial and overwrites the save.
This happens due to an issue of case sensitivity.
Rename save folder[3]
  1. Go to the save game data location.
  2. Rename SAVE to save or vice versa.
Edit hex code[citation needed]
  1. Open jetsetradio.exe with a hex editor such as HxD.
  2. Go to offset 21D80C.
  3. Change SAVE to save.
  4. Save the changes.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 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>/205950/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (205950) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
