Comment (by eriktorbjorn):

 I could be barking up the wrong tree, but it looks to me like `gGameTime`
 doesn't change while it's waiting for the text box. At least for some of
 the text boxes.

 I can't see that the German version updates the variables in any other
 scripts than the English version does it, but maybe those scripts get
 invoked in different places?

 That could be avoided by calling `GameTime` but that leads to another
 problem: Pushing `gGameTime` onto the stack is done in 2 bytes. Pushing
 the result of `GameTime` onto the stack requires 4 bytes, I believe. Well,
 there are two more branch instructions that could be converted to the
 shorter form, so maybe that's doable...

 But my attempt caused a stack underflow, so I'm clearly messing things up
 even worse.
