Chapter 1 Preview - Hotfix 2

Hotfix 2

Fixes a crash on real Dreamcast hardware.

If you are playing in an emulator, nothing changes for you. The previous
build was correct there, and this one behaves identically.

If you are playing on a real console, please re-download. The earlier
build could scramble small pieces of the game's code while it loaded, which
showed up as a freeze a couple of lines into the opening scene, with a black
screen where the tunnel should be. Emulators do not reproduce the Dreamcast's
CPU cache closely enough for this to ever appear there, which is why it got
past testing.

Reinstalling over your existing patched copy is fine. Save files are not
affected.

Also in this build

The setup program now carries proper publisher and version information.
Some antivirus engines flag it anyway: it is an unsigned self-extracting
bundle, which is a shape that scores badly on heuristics. Nothing in it is
malicious, and the checksum below lets you confirm you have the file we built.
