Status: offline 		Seems to happen randomly after I save the game. Not a game stopper, but it's getting anoying.

Is this something that happens to everyone, or is it just my system?

Thanks in advance.

Yes me too, since 1.795, it happen like once each 3 or 4 save approx. At least, the game is saved. I should try to 'Quicksave' to see if it happen as well

Status: offline 		This is a windows problem ... depending on how many things you have going on, the UI in WitP can come back to you quicker then the operating system can handle it because it's not actually done with the save ... the save finishes it's process but the UI has gone off the deep end. Give it a 10 count and you'll never have a problem.
