Dynasty Warriors 4 Fatal Bug: Custom Officer Slot 4
Koei slipped this time (they make a lot of bug free games!) - on the Battle of Han Zhong any custom officer you create and save to slot 4 (the bottom most slot on the Edit Officer screen, or the right-most slot on the Officer Select screen) will not appear correctly on the battle field and the PS2 will freeze. This custom officer slot (and all the other slots) seems to be fine on all other stages.
