If you already downloaded (only about 10 people have so far, I think) I recommend either redownloading it, or just opening up Setup-PST-Fix.tp2 and deleting this bit of code:

// ===================== QWINN'S DEBUG AND SAVE GAME COMPATIBILITY SECTION =====================

COPY_EXISTING ~VAR.VAR~ ~VAR.TMP~
  SET Q_FileSize = %SOURCE_SIZE%
  PATCH_FOR_EACH "S1" IN
	~TimeResearch_Language		   ~
	~TimeResearch_Ravel			  ~
	~TimeResearch_Incarnations	   ~
	~Banter_Morte					~
	~Banter_Annah					~
	~Banter_Grace					~
	~Banter_Nordom				   ~
	~Banter_Vhailor				  ~
  BEGIN
	SPRINT "Q_NewVarType"  ~GLOBAL  ~
	SPRINT "Q_NewVarName"  ~%S1%~
	SET	"Q_NewVarValue" = 0
	LAUNCH_PATCH_MACRO Q_VarVar_AddNewRecord
  END
 BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES
COPY ~VAR.TMP~ ~VAR.VAR~

This bit only exists in order to make my own personal save games compatible with my mod... it adds variables that existed while I did my initial playthrough and testing and I later determined they weren't needed. I still had them in there so I could load my save games, and forgot to pull it out when I did my first upload an hour or so ago. No need to spread them to everyone else, so I quickly replaced it with a version without them.

It's worth getting rid of that section if you already downloaded because if you save games after that section has been installed, those save games won't be compatible with versions that don't create those variables, which will include the current and any future versions of my mods.
