The game errors at startup when building the menu. The third
kAddMenucall passes a menu string with two consecutive backtick characters, that fails our validation and weerrorwith"multiple right-aligned markers within one menu-item". I don't know the menu string format off the top of my head, but this doesn't seem to be a fatal error in SSCI. If I change theerrorto awarningthe game runs.We'd have to look into into what the menu string is trying to do and whether our parser should be adjusted to tolerate it. We could also just patch the menu string with a small script patch; we've done that before to handle a fan game.
