I'm playing on windows and not sure exactly where the glitch starts. In version 38b and 39b starting a new game locks my character in an area. After 2 map transfers all other location buttons are locked and am unable to move to a new map. Any idea as to get around this?

You play on some non-standard resolution, right? It should work fine in 16:9.

I've tried setting my monitor to 16:9 but it still has the same issue. I just updated to 40A and started a new game yet I can't seem to leave the staring area. I've tried different starting backgrounds with no avail.
