Consider the following scenario:

- Your user profile contains Unicode characters (examples: ADK_Αθήνα, Δημήτριος, etc.)
- You set the scripts to save player data to a folder within the user folder like this:

FolderStore = ENV[n="USERPROFILE"] + "\\Saved Games\\" + "GameName" + "\\Config\\"

-You run the game.

In this scenario, the game will crash trying to read the variables.

Theo's Global System Options
Dekita's Game Save Control and Highly Optimised Input System.
