Status: offline 		No, UV still hangs up when I try to load saved games.

I heard that the problem was that you would correctly rename the files, but the .dat extension would remain, but would be hidden. So that is why I unhid the extensions, I was expecting to still see the .dat extensions in there.

I have renamed everything per the directions, but the game still hangs up.

I'll send a game file to Mogami.

Status: offline 		Hi, His files hang as soon as you try to load them. I renamed the file he sent and it still hangs. Also the file is close to 100k larger then my other PBEM files. The only other time I have seen files do this is when the game locked up while I was saving. The files that resulted also produced the same effect. I have sent the file on to Erik R for him to look at.

Status: offline 		It seems to me the Matrix folks should have coded a routine to automatically rename the saved games to the new extention thereby saving us all the experience of losing all our game descriptions and having to rename the files ourselves.

No, my partner for the game I sent you is not on MSN, he is on a Finnish ISP. He just sent me a new saved game, I will give it a try later and see if I can run the file.

Status: offline 		OK, I was able to run the file he sent me, we have moved our scenario to a new save slot and it works.

Still can't get the other saves to work though, and my partner for one other game doesn't seem to have any saves left on his end.

Yes.

But I'm sure they know this now.
