Issue after Patch Upgrade

[kev]

Hi, I am trying to reload a game that I started after installing the new patch. When I click "Load Saved Game" the program crashes. I am attching the message written to the log file. Before the patch I had no problem reloading save games. My OS is WIN98.

Thanks, Kevin

Previously saved games from the "pre-patch" version are not compatible with v1.02. You will have to delete all files found in the SAVE and PBEM folder to eliminate the error message

Thanks Hubert I was just logging on to say I noticed that line in the readme and I delted the old games and its working fine.

Gotta pay more attention to readmes

Thanks for the IMMEDIATE response! Great game! Well done. That was quite a project, to do that yourself.

This is still a bug though.

Incompatible files really shouldn't cause a crash, they should just not be loadable.
