Damn dude that's hella weird
I'm telling you so secure because we both used the same save file (zzrotten). Also i just re-played the game and it's like that.
Maybe try using the whole save folder of zzrotten, I'm talking about including these files of zzrotten in your saves (config.rpgsave) (global.rpgsave). If that doesn't solve the bug i don't know what else can do. Don't worry so much for this update though, it hasn't a lot of content unfortunalety for some problems the creator has been through (hope he gets better)
