When I am creating my character and when all is done and hit \> to start the game it pops up the message “are you sure you are finished?” I hit Enter but nothing happens also I am using version 4 I tried simply running the game and has also done the cygwin but I get the same problem

I’m not sure “Enter” works when you get Y/N prompts, you have to either press “Y” or “N” (windows version user here, not sure if same for mac/linux)
