Wrong language and Crash when starting game

[Endertainer007]

So I tried playing Ambermoon Advanced 1.31 English on my Amiga Forever emulator, but I found some issues. Firstly, even though I downloaded the English version, the text was displayed in German. Another issue is that whenever I click on the start game option, it just crashes. I tried using different configurations, but just kept on crashing no matter what.

I have very similar kind of issue with
AA v. 1.33.
When playing the English version,
the main selection screen appears
in german (otherwise, all seems to be in english).
If I start a new game, the game crashes.
Quitting causes an instant crash with reboot (and guru).
I decided to try the alternative AM2_CPU file, shared by Pyrdacor on EAB recently.
With this, both versions of the game seem to work, at least the new game can be started and a new character made.
On Enlish version, this character is auto-replaced by Thalion char.
When the game starts and grandfather makes his arguments, you cant talk to him, because he has disappeared(!)
Quite strange I think..
And quitting the game causes an instant crash and reboot.
Regarding the german version 1.33 of AA;
identical behavior, expect for you are able to create a new character and it is used.

Tested on Amiga600 with ks 3.1, 4 mb fast,
2 mb chip, 68000, a traditional 2,5" ide internal hard drive.

I decided to experiment a little,
and replaced the AM2_CPU file with the one included in the
1.3 WHDload version install package of AA
(of which content should be checked, there are some german files included !?);
and also added the missing AM2_BLIT file.
After that, the game launches ok, but the main selection menu is still in german.
However, now I can create a new character and the grandfather isnt missing.

In the game, after getting the Shandras amber,
I traveled to the Inn in Spannenberg.

When talking to Aman, he says things that should only be said
later in the game:

"I have not trusted you until now..
As promised, I can now train you...
In my room upstairs..."

I must add that after doing those file changes mentioned above,
the quit option works ok without crashing anymore.

With Ambermoon.net, I could not repeat the case with Aman.
Seems to work ok.

Ok, the issue with Aman was propably due to my experimenting with the game files
(AM2_CPU; AM2_BLIT; the Savegame files) , to get the English version 1.33 of
AA working with the new character creation.
Still, I had to start my new game with the german version 1.33
(replaced the AM2_CPU file with the one Pyrdacor uploaded on EAB a while ago,
and added the AM2_BLIT file) and then transfer my savegame to the English version,
to succeed!
So, according to my tests on my A600, there ARE some issues with AA v. 1.33.
