I am using version 1.0 I bought the version from battlefront direct. (BTS version ?) I have always had this problem with CMBB. I save my games right before pressing GO. Only Yahoo Messenger running at same time as CMBB. Running Win 2000 Pro. Possible file corruption probs on hard drive. I will update versions and close Yahoo during gameplay. Thanks. I haven't heard of this problem before, so most likely there is something about your setup that is the problem. Are you running the CDV or the BTS version of CMBB ? Are you running the v. 1.01 patch or just 1.0 ? Have you always had this problem with CMBB ? At what point are you saving your games (during your plotting or right before pressing Go for a turn, etc.) ? Are all of these games against the AI or are they hotseat, TCP/IP, etc. ? What platform are you on (Mac or PC) ? What OS are you running ? Have you checked your hard drive with disk utilities for any possible file corruption/problems ? Do you have any programs running in the background while your run CMBB ? If these problems continue, you may want to send some sample files along with your details to Madmatt (assuming we can eliminate your hardware or other software as the cause of the problem).

When playing CMBB games I save my game at intervals, however when I go to load those games at a later date they are corrupted somehow. The saved games read as being "0 turns", and when clicked on the game just freezes. They all have the correct file sizes i.e they are not empty, but they are just not being recognised by CMBB. Please help me, this is incredibly frustrasting. This problem is unpredictable, sometimes saved games work, sometimes not.
