Start game and play first turn then hit next turn.As you know it will want you to create a file name for the saved game,give it one and hit ok and it will throw a bit of a fit with the error messages you are getting. HOWEVER it has ( if its working like mine ) created the save game file and you can restart the game and continue on....you won't see those error messages again...its strictly a first turn thing or atleast it seems like it is. Once past the first turn its played fine for me.

By the way, how did you figure the solution out?

Hey, thanks WaltM!

I'll see if I can recreate the problem here on my XP system to better understand why it happens in the first place, and how and why your workaround solves it.

Ahhhhh.......Luck would be the honest answer. I noticed that it had saved the game file so I opened it in game and found my first turn was there intact.

Just a thought, did you rename the battle file to something other than battle.btl. Or, you can't, the error pops up as soon as that dialog comes up, yes?

In my case the problem SEEMS to happen when the game tries to switch to player B's turn after the player A file has been saved. File name seems to have no impact on the problem. Once you have restarted the scenario you can hit next turn ( you will still be in player A's turn after restarting )and it switches to Player B's turn without problems.As mentioned earlier once past turn one if its working like mine you won't see the problem return for the rest of the scenario.

Whatever is causing the problem doesn't seem to affect the campaigns which run fine.

Walt
