I have one trouble with Full throttle using SVN 6.09.08. Saving of game just don`t work. It writes: "unable to save". Full 0.12.0 version doesn`t have this problem, but it crashes very often.
The SVN version might have faulty file/path handling, since its work in progress and it has been changing alot for the last couple of months. So setting the save path might nothelp at all with that version.
Pre 0.12 does not differ that much from the actual 0.12 so strange that you feel that the 0.12 version crashes much more than the previous pre-release.
I also wanted to give some details on when it shuts down. I've started new games and fairly quickly the program will terminate. I can usually get to the bar but then it will stop. I've reverted back to SVN version 11 and it seems to work ok (and with loader sound). After playing for a while I saved the game and loaded version 12. I loaded the save and once again after playing for a few minutes it will shut down.
