Welcome! You've found the JCF, the home of the JJ2 community, you're all good

I think you're talking about this bug report. From what I remember, it's a problem that Epic Games introduced in version 1.24, and the GOG version is based on 1.24. I have an internal build that's supposed to fix the problem from some years back, but I haven't gotten anyone on the plus team to actually look at it yet, and it generally feels better to have features tested before publicly releasing them.
