HudsonGame -> UNABLE TO ADD SAVED UNIT TO GAME (11/18/2017 7:48:02 PM)

While in the editor, I have tried to add a saved unit to the scenario. I went to edit then forces. Under file I then went to open unit. After trying to add my unit, I get the pop-up message that says "The Operational Art of War IV has stopped working" with a button saying Close program. I hit the button then the same message pops up again. Then, after hitting the Close program button a second time, the game closes. I assume this is a glitch in the program. Thought it best to say something about it.

Amazing.

Editor broken??

Please patch. $65 for an unfinished game is not funny. Not anymore.

Hello sir - Reading this line, it makes no sense, and following your instructions also makes no sense. This is in no way an insult, I am just saying that it is not obvious what you are trying to do nor how you are doing it. It is possible you are from a non-English speaking country [as I am] and therefore we have a communication problem. In any case I am happy to help you, please tell me what you are trying to do as adding a saved unit is not a TOAW procedure. Thanks !

How very odd. I have owned and played every version of this game. I have input and saved units while in the editor. Lets try this, perhaps it will make it more clear.
While in the Scenario Editor I went to the edit pulldown and then chose forces. With the FORCE EDITOR on the screen, I went to the File Pulldown and chose OPEN UNIT. I went on to choose a unit and AGAIN, as I stated before, got the "The Operational Art of War IV has stopped working" with a button saying Close program. With the FORCE EDITOR on the screen, I did manage to save a unit from a scenario in this game (using SAVE UNIT AS, instead of OPEN UNIT). I used this procedure innumerable times in earlier versions of this game, and as I stated, you can save a unit in this version of the game, but you cannot insert a unit.

Thanks. I'll see if I can reproduce it and fix it in the patch. I did just find an issue with the open and save dialogs. I didn't correctly adjust for internationalization so that may be causing the crash when running the release build. The Development build I normally run didn't have the same problems.
