Yeah, haha, I couldn't wrap my head around it when that regional problem manifested for the first time. I just couldn't replicate the problem that so many people had.
I got my epiphany when I made and uploaded a log version of my game so I could compare my log file with the log file of someone else. I knew something was up when I saw that the decimal sign in my own log file was a comma and in the other one a point. I then set my system to USA settings and voila, I was able to replicate the problem on my system. The rest is history.
Yeah, I'm so glad that my game seems to hit the spot! About the game over screen: yeah, maybe I can add some dramatic voice-over to the game over message!
As a matter of fact: I'd really like to add some spoken lines to the game, especially in the car select menu. I'd like to replicate the excitement of Daytona USA2.
