In football words you have received yellow card and if you don’t know, second yellow card is red and it means exclusion. Seriously, please fix this fast because 100 bucks in my country is a lots of money and I will demand my money back.
If it helps – I have downloaded latest patch and I have Windows 8.1

I can imagine your negative emotions, but folks will need a bit more info to be able to help you. What is it that happens when you try to start a new game?

Path to game crash is: Start a new game – Solitaire selected – Global war or any other scenario selected (except Barbarossa) - None additional rules selected - Name of player wrote – then first error occurs: Cannot find city "Hankø" but loading continues when I click ok – Progress bar is alive until Determining Supply appears - MWIF.exe (An error occured in the application) window appears – game crash.
Having latest game patch and Windows 8.1 Enterprise. I have sent bug report by game bug report system.

I don’t know what this double character means? I don’t use Chinese, Japanese, Korean or similar settings.

My regional settings:
Format: Croatian
Location: Croatia
Keyboard: Croatian
System locale: Croatian
Time zone: CET

Have you experimented in telling Windows to use English instead of Croatian?

Status: offline 		I have not tested Windows 8.

While it is 'supposed' to be compatible, why not find the MWIF.EXE file, pull up it's properties, and force it to either Windows 7 compatibility or Windows XP Service Pack 3 compatibility. Either one of those may fix the issue.

Sounds like something is playing poorly near or in the MWIF memory space.

Status: offline 		Compatibility to Windows 7 or XP didn’t work but thanks for suggestion. What DID work is AxelNL suggestion (thanks AxelNL). When I have set US Regional settings I can open any scenario or restore games and error “Can’t find city Hanko” disappeared. Still I can’t keep these settings because I am living and working in Croatia so guys, please, can you fix this?

Until this is fixed, you might be better off running MWIF on a Virtual Machine set to English.

Many of us have done this and the game works just fine.

Happy to have contributed to your situation, but the credits need to go to Paul.

Ps: you have severe emoticons attached to this thread, perhaps a little editing will freshen up this forum?
