Does it reproduce? Does it matter whether the save is compressed? Does it depend on the PAUSE_AFTER_LOAD, PRINT_MODE or TRUETYPE settings in your init.txt? Does it work if you just resize the window instead of pressing a key?

Please reopen this if you have more information to indicate this is a bug.

 After pressing the "Continue Playing" string the game shows a couple of strings of text including "Folder: region1" and starts reading from disk at 60 KB/sec. After hitting the Enter key the game loads OK.

Unable to find the PAUSE_AFTER_LOAD string in the _init.txt_ file.

Changing PRINT_MODE: to STANDARD didn't change anything as well as changing the TRUETYPE to 16.

"Continue Playing" just takes you to another menu where you choose a folder to load from. That's where you're seeing the "region1" text. Have you tried TRUETYPE:NO ? It would help if you uploaded a screenshot to http://imgur.com/ and posted the link here.

It looks like it's just necessary to tell people to choose a folder.

That's what it looks like for everyone. This isn't a bug. If you want, you can post a suggestion here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?board=5.0
