When Matt takes a taxi to Buckingham Palace and tries to go inside, the game crashes.

    Unfortunately I don't have a savegame where Buckingham Palace or Kenwood House are accessible, so I will have to play or cheat to get there. I guess I'll implement an "all access" cheat to make bug fixing easier.

    Since there are config options for having all cars, knowing all people, etc. I thought you are already able to see all building. :)

    Nevertheless, if you prefer, I can provide you with an appropriate savegame to repro the issue.

    I would always prefer a real savegame, because one can never know what side effects cheating has (missing initialization etc). It usually takes less than 5 minutes to find the broken code that caused a crash, unless you have to play several hours to get there :)

    That's good to know. Well, then here you are. With the attached savegame you should be able to pay the Buckingham Palace a visit (during day hours).

    I have no idea how it should look like. Possibly it's even empty (because Matt does not want to observe it).

    I verified using the original game in DOSBox. The buckingham palace floor plan shows empty (Matt can move to up and down between the two floors, but both show empty). Still it shouldn't crash. :)

    Thanks for the savegame! I'm currently investigating that crash...

    I guess to see the floor plan, you have to get the documents from 10th Downing street, at least there are some special cases for Buckingham in the code.

    Fixed :) Visiting the Buckingham Palace now works. See the attached screenshots.

    Thanks again for bug hunting, Neno!

    Nice - thanks for fixing, Oliver!
    (... and the hint where to find the documents for Buckingham Palace)
