[I'm very close to buying this game]

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. So your name's Gay Focker?

[Major saved game problem]

It's still happening. Autosave works fine but saving the game under a name works intermittently.

I have not tried using the default names but always supply my own name. I have tried using <enter> after I type it in and I have tried using the mouse to save after I type the name in and I think it is intermittent both ways.

I just have to be careful not to make any terrible mistakes. I DID forget to move the Russians again once, but I noticed while the Germans were moving and re-booted real fast before I got a new autosave memorializing my blunder!

I have no clue why I am having this problem that nobody else has reported.

Thanks, Hubert. I very much appreciate your attention to this forum. I will try deleting the folder and see where we go from here.

The first time it happened I was able to pick up again from Autosave. Unfortunately, this time the reason I wanted to run from backup was because I forgot to move the Russians the first turn they were available--a very very bad idea!--and didn't notice it until the Germans were already moving. I didn't get control back until there was a new autosave.

Thanks again for your attention. This is certainly odd; it seems as if it is happening only to me. Whatever happens, I will come back and let you know.

[Major saved game problem]

I checked the troubleshooting guide and searched the forum but didn't find anything on this problem, which sure seems odd to me because it is a game-breaker. It has happened to me twice now.

Here's the sequence:

(1) I save the game under the name "Joe" (don't ask--I just do it that way).

(2) Later, I save again, overwriting Joe. I do this multiple times.

(3) Later, I re-load. I get the first Joe. Or another Joe. Basically, the results are intermittent, but at least twice I have gotten a very old save which I had DEFINITELY saved over multiple times since I originally saved it. On other occasions, save has worked correctly.

Does anybody know anything about this? It really honks, because twice I have gotten into 1942/1943 and then totally lost my game forever. I haven't managed to play one through to completion yet.

[Screen size bug?]

Thanks for replying.

Interestingly enough, the problem somehow resolved itself. I have no idea how, because I had already entered and exited the program several times, always to get the same screen size with the bottom severely cut off and the top a little cut off. However, when I posted this and hung out on the Internet a bit and then went in again, it worked fine! I never rebooted, resized my desktop, or anything.

But I will certainly try your solution if the problem recurs. Thanks again.

[Screen size bug?]

I had no problems installing the game, but when I got in the screen size was not correct. Options are missing from the main menu and the interface panel is hidden when you get into the game.

Is anybody familiar with this problem or have a fix suggestion?

Thanks much.
