That patch is here and there are actually lots of fixes. The manual Patch can be downloaded here: Patch 1.29 (850 MB) I myself will not continue to compile this thread. See page 119 for details....
I brightened the picture up a bit, but my problem is that everything is empty, I'm pretty sure there should be options to pick, but it's just blank. Also, I am creating a dog, yet it says "Here kitty kitty." on the top left corner for the advance markings. :\
I'm trying to reinstall the game, but I had this same problem with the demo. I can't even create a pet without there being a problem, it's not fun.
