ORIGINAL: MikeB Running version 1.804 . Windows xp home. scenario 15 <whole war> solitaire 1.5G RAM P4 2.0 Ghz CPU ...currently at May 23 1942 . Problem has been ongoing since about March 1942...about a month agone. Once started, the game runs fine...while saving to additional game locations. AS SOON AS quit game(for the night or to clear windows virtual memory hogging), it FAILS to load the screen identifying your saved game files to choose to load. Repeated restarts, power off/power on fails to correct the problem. Current solution is to use DOS to copy the most recent saved game file and .txt files to temporary space. Re-install (bought Jan 2008 for version 1.50). Re install 1.804 comprehensive patch. Game will work fine ....until one quits the game for the time being. If do NOT quit game and leave "power on" over night, it seems to work ok . I note version 1.806 exists but is NOT a comprehensive version. Would i need to restart my game ....if i use 1.806 ? Does version 1.806 specifically address this problem ? Any other suggestions are welcome. tempted to play a different game.[:(] STARS! anyone ? Mike B You never HAVE to restart after patching... people can elect to restart if there have been database changes (i.e. - changes to guns, bombs, ships, etc.), but you don't have to restart... if there have been database changes and you don't restart, you will be playing with the older stuff. That said - there haven't been any database changes in stock for some time iirc. Patch process should be 1.804 comprehensive then 1.806 revised.
