Right, now it seems I cannot start a normal game either.

It crashes on loading a scenario: (it worked fine before)
this is the error message:

The format exception is likely happening when the game tries to parse some data and is finding it in an improper format. The problem may be that your computer seems to have Dutch-Netherlands localization settings (that is Locale ID 1043); the localization settings may affect the behavior of some of the parsers. When you mention it worked fine before, is it possible the localization settings have changed since then? If you are in fact running under Dutch localization, please let me know and I'll switch my localization settings and see whether I can reproduce this issue.

I think I am running dutch locat settings (time format, etc). I don't think thats very weird if you live in the netherlands.

Anyway somehow suddenly the game works again. I dont think I changed anything though.

Some thinks I found that affect could be bugs:

In close combat the computer shot at 2 units at once. This is not possible according to the (boardgame) rules.
At close range I was not able to use a turreted shot while I got enough ap left. When I turned the tank the next turn I could shoot the turn after.
The APC in monsters should have tracked movement, not wheels.
loaded units do not used flank defense it seems
when you look at the text when shooting at a loaded unit, it say it adds -1 for smoke to firepower, but when you look at the total numers it adds it to the defense value and not the firepower (as is correct), maybe the text should be different then.
