Status: offline 		Is anybody having problems saving games in the Long Campaign of WWII? Quite frequently when I have finished a battle and save the results, I cannot load it again to progress to the next scenarion. The screen just locks up. Quite frustrating after you have put a lot of hours into a Campaign. I never had this problem before I updated to 7.0. Has anybody had the same experience or come up with a fix?

Status: offline 		I've had the same problem, every time I try to load a saved game in the Long Campaign. The only thing I can do is save the game at the end of every turn prior to pressing the End Turn button, and after completing deployment for the next scenario. The game seems to load for me when saved during a scenario in the campaign, but not if saved between scenarios. Hopefully, the patch fixes this.

Status: offline 		To all: Which versions are you running exactly ver 7.0 or the 7.1 beta or other? Any other info you can supply about computer spec's and Operating Software will also be helpful.
P.S. Final release of version 7.1 should be out sometime next week as they try to hash out online save problems and possibly this issue if it can be reproduced.

Status: offline 		I'm sending both of you the beta 7.1 patch due to the final release being slightly delayed. You'll probably have to restart the campaign but please let us know if this cures your problem.
