#25 - New game stops at "loading Land Unit Data"
#26 - 1 - Do you see the very first opening screen where you can "Check for Updates"? Yes, no problem with that
2 - Can you run any of the videos? [Just see if there start correctly.] All play without problem
3 - Can you execute Play Game? That should bring up MWIF.exe's opening Splash Screen. Yes
4 - Can you execute any of the Picture and Text Tutorials? Yes
5 - Can you restore a saved game? [Try Barbarossa. It should have a Fast Start saved game.] No, program crashes
All the files are in the same folder (default route installation), no files apart. I tryed with the shortcut that the install program creates and also with mwif.exe directly
Okay then.
Land unit data is the problem.
Perhaps it is a language problem? Do you have your Windows operating system set up for English? There may be some characters in the descriptions of the land units that are 'misunderstood' when using a different language.
I know that players have had trouble running MWIF when the Windows operating system language was: Chinese, Japanese, Croatian, or Russian. In those cases the program reported the problem rather cleanly - complaining about a specific character. The difficulty you are having occurs at a different place in the program, but the underlying cause may simply be your computer system's language setting.
