Crossroads Inn Anniversary Edition

I suspect the "Anniversary" edition is to celebrate the birthday of the bugs still present from release day. Uncle Marty's text windows still run off the screen Campaign still has long pauses between steps I looked over the reviews from 2019 to date and honestly, most of the issues basically still exist Especially the feeble minded AI I don't know what possessed me to retry it after so long, except I noticed some recent positive reviews and figured wth, Don't make my mistake

I waited for the Anniversary Edition because of all the negative reviews I saw. After more than 10 hours of play I can say that it runs stable for me (Intel i7 / Nvidia 1080 setup). I did not entcounter anything I would consider a bug. You should not put more than two doors on a building square. That may cause problems. But that is obvious from the radii of the doors anyway. The game itself is well done. A decent effort, nothing extraordinary, but that is reflected in the price tag. I like the graphics with their "drawn and tinted" style. Animations are limited but sufficient from your usual bird's eye perspective. The world's atmosphere is fine, the writing works well. Audio is good enough, English speech is fine. The music is fitting albeit limited in length. The main caveat I have is with the interface. You can get to do everything you want to, but often the way there is not straightforward. For instance, building pieces and furniture are not sorted intuitively (at least for me). In the market interface there are filters for food ingridients but not for consumables like candles. I would like a filter for those items I put in the overview bar on the main screen. Also, I cannot easily switch from one market to another. Maybe I will find solutions to some of my problems, but overall the interface seems to be rather a hinderance. But it was easier to learn than Dwarf Fortress... All in all the game is good enough that I will keep playing it for a considerable time and in no way feel that I wasted my money.

If it can't get fixed in the upcoming "GOTY" edition, i'm throwing towel into ring on this one. Such a great idea, the music is great as well, graphics are satisfactory, but BUGS BUGS BUGS BUGS BUGS. Crash to desktop without notice, in fact my quickest way to exit the game is quicksave and quickload. EVERY SINGLE TIME F7 is pressed to quickload i crash to desktop. Then the pathfinding issues.. Save the money unless they fix those. All of those.

First, the good news: the tutorial did not crash on me. Damning with faint praise? Well, read the other reviews. Now the bad news: the controls don't... Necessarily... Work consistently. Or at all. And of course there is no remapping keys. Because this is a console game. This is a disturbing trend in recent games, where devs just know better than users which keys their players want. Here's a hint: not everybodyo has the same keyboard; even more importantly, not everybody has the same HANDS. Here's hoping the anniversary edition will fix as many bugs as it promises, AND ADD A BLOODY KEY REBIND. One star because the game didn't crash on startup, one star because the concept is nice and the game has potential, and one star because I want to believe this will be fun to play... Eventually.

I bought and installed the game, but it does not launch. I can't understand whether it is a Crossroads Inn problem or a GOG problem. I tried using GOG support, but I couldn't reach an assistant. If anyone had the same problem i would be thankful if you could share the solution. Thank you.
