Has anyone made a fix for the Comic Festival crash in Princess Maker 5's Steam version?

So, I recently learned of an Uncensor Patch for Princess Maker 1 after the 2022 update added censorship for the English/Chinese language versions; I didn't really have interest in that patch because I don't really play PM1 much in the first place, but it got me thinking of a patch I would very much use: a fix for the Comic Festival crash in PM5's Steam version.

I'm an achievement hound, so playing the fan translation isn't really what I'm looking for right now (though I do have it, and there are some crashes in that version as well; not sure if the Comic Festival is one of them there, though, but certain encounters during Fall Colors and the Christmas party invitation are ones I've experienced with the fan translation).

I'm hoping to have overlooked a fix right under my nose, so I'm asking if anyone has seen one where I haven't checked (or have checked and managed to miss).
