It's great that Durante's fixes have been so good for this, but unfortunately the core game is so fucked up, that it's a waste of his considerable talent.
I've had every single fucking bug that's been reported in this game: black menu screens (forces alt-tab to "fix"), audio looping bug, crashes during cutscenes, crashes during car usage, 2-minute long load times (up from 8 seconds after their 125mb "patch") and... and I can't do it anymore. It's not worth it to go through the pain of trying to play a game knowing that on the other side is, well, not a very good game to begin with. That part may be some of that "charm", but getting to it has been anything but charming. This is, quite honestly, the worst release I've ever seen for a game that still exists on the Steam store. I don't understand how it's still available for sale.
