Hey everyone. I've been playing Elite Force with a clean install of the GOG version. No mods, but I used the efconfig.cfg to crank the resolution up to 2.560 x 1.440 widescreen as people have been suggesting in some threads. Everything went swimmingly until the beginning of the level called "stasis 2" in the save/load screen (the new area right after getting the stasis weapon, very early on in the game).
I was able to save normally in any other part of the game up until that level, but once I'm in "stasis 2", pressing Esc or F3 (for the save menu) just throws me back into the main menu. No save option, no resume button. When I tried to play further into the level without saving, the game also crashed to the main menu on its own at one point, without me pressing Esc or F3.
I've now changed the resolution back to something the game supports out-of-the-box and that has fixed it. Just thought I should bring it up in case other people experience the same issue.
