1) Windowed mode issues: Running the game in windowed mode on Win10/11 can be tricky. While software like d3dwindower can help, it may come at a performance cost. If you opt for fullscreen mode, you might encounter odd aspect ratios (think squished characters). Changing the desktop color depth to 16-bit might help, but d3dwindower remains the most reliable solution.


2) D3dwindower lag effects: Extended use of d3dwindower may slow down character movements in-game. Two remedies: restart your computer or use software that alters the speed of the game.


3) Multiple game progress saves: Game progress can randomly get corrupted without warning. One day you're having a blast, the next your save file is toast. To avoid heartache, get into the habit of saving progress in two slots from time to time.


4) Crashes caused by monuments: Investigating the monuments in Fairy Village may trigger crashes. A simple workaround: steer clear of interacting with the monuments .


5) Name conflict conundrum (the worst one): Due to Chinese characters, new fairys might clash with old ones, leading to game crashes. This often happens when assigning tasks to new fairys. Solution: save before entering fairy Village, check the name of each fairy when assigning tasks to ensure safety, and if a new fairy triggers a crash, load the previous save (names of new fairies might change randomly before you enter Fairy Village). Alternatively, try "starving" all fairy (reduce the number of hunting fairy to cause food shortages) until the crashing fairy disappears.


These issues persist, especially the last one. Raising 20 fairies in the Chinese version will test your resilience, perseverance, or maybe just pure luck.
