There was a 3 page thread about this bug, post v1.08: http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=81861 The bug is identical in 1.10. And it is impossible to save a game file when this bug appears. Currently, I'd say this happens with about 30-40% of QB attempts. I'm waiting for the CD version to arrive, so I can do a complete wipe of my install, and start over. Note, this did not work with 1.08, but I'm willing to give it a try again.

That's all well and good, but I honestly expected the bug that was *introduced* in 1.08 (#2 in the original post, where you end up commanding the side you did not choose, in a game that cannot be saved) would be removed in 1.10.

I've encountered this bug so much since the 1.08 patch, I gave up on Quick Battles. Settings generally were "Random" for map size and map type (city, village, etc.), and Mixed Forces / Armor. I'd set up as blue, turn based, and when I clicked to execute orders, all blue forces disappeared and all red forces came into view. And it would change from turn-based to real-time play. Very very bizarre. Another odd symptom is that if you try to save the game, even prior to executing first orders, you get a series of gibberish characters in the file name form box. The saved file name cannot be changed, and the gibberish file name cannot be saved.

I am finding it impossible to complete the patch download from any of the provided mirrors. Been trying off and on for over 18 hours now, on two different systems. Each and every one craps out somewhere between 5 and 132MB. Are there any other alternatives to get this patch?
