Hi there,
Two things
Sound files want to load and show up in debug file as failing to load (no .ogg files included in dl)
Custom character creation crashes on Windows 8.1 any time the “scenarios” tab is supposed to display. If you pick a random character and go back from confirmation through the skills, traits, etc you can go all the way back to the tab right after “scenarios”. If you attempt to go back into scenarios tab the game will crash to desktop.
work around - Generate a random character and move back through to the traits tab and go from there without having access to scenarios.
Hope this helps!
