I am having a problem in Keen 4. After I find a keygem, I save the game. Later, when I accidentally hit an enemy, I reload the game from the last save point. However, all the keygems that I had when I saved before are no longer in my information window. This happens in any level. What’s up with that? Also, I have tried this scenario in all the other Keen games, including the unofficial games, and everything works fine. Keen 4 is the only game with this glitch.

What version of Keen 4 are you using? I think there's some weird version of Keen 6 out there that has a similar problem.

Version 1.0 of Keen 4 has this bug. Version 1.0 of Keen 5 and 6 do not have it IIRC.
The simple solution is to get a newer version of Keen 4. Since Keen 4 is free this isn't even technically illegal

I'm curious: Where did you get that copy of the game from?
Keening_Product was defeated before the game.

I actually did some more digging and found version 1.4, and the problem is fixed. Thanks!

My dad had it on his old computer from the late 1990s. He found it on a local bulletin board.
