Is there any way to save during a fight? Due to the known problem with the Unity and tactical turn-based combat (I think this is at least the 3rd game I've had the problem in) the game display will often freeze during combat, requiring a task kill and game restart from last save. Is there any way to deal with this? I've only had the game a day, but I'm already getting sick of the frequent crashes.

the game seems to have been designed such that one cannot save during a batle, sorry for the bad news

Well, that is bad news. Forcing DirectX 9 seems to have stabilized the issue a bit, but at the cost of some textures.

the 4gb patch might do some good to.
