The game crashes every time I�ve tried to open the production planning menu, btw the game runs very slow after the axis has collapsed Vichy with lots of BPs there.

You have a bloated game file which was a known and serious issue with earlier versions. The uncompressed size of a normal game file is ~ 10 to 11 MB. Your bloated game file is over 110 MB! This bug was reported and fixed in the latest versions. I'm not sure if it's been fixed in the latest officially released version but has been fixed for a while in the public beta versions.

I'm afraid your current game file isn't salvageable. You'll need to go back to the last autosave that's around 10 to 11 MB.

Check out my adventures back in June with this bug in a solo I was doning. See: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4024746&mpage=90&key=#

Back to the future. Or is it the past?

As I mentioned in my post last night this game file was corrupted. After doing some detective work I've concluded that the corruption happened on the night of June 12, Sunday, somewhere between 9:26 PM and 9:36 PM Central Daylight Savings Time.

What this means is that I played this entire last turn with a corrupted game file. While I did notice a slowdown in how fast MWiF ran and did have some crashes I thought I'd played through them. It was only when I got to the end of turn, specifically the preliminary production phase, that the corrupted game file caused an unrecoverable crash. So, I had to go back to the last good game file, which was Soviet Production from 6/17/2016, 9:26 PM and pick up our game from there. This means that all of last turn was a phantom. I will now pick my game and this AAR up from the start of turn 27 (Jan/Feb 1944) and play from there. This turn will be played as a do over. That is, I will NOT set any die rolls in order to try to "repeat" from the point of the game file corruption, which includes all of last turn.
