Is it impossible to fix save files?

[HelmuthM]

This huge bug has always plagued HOI2. Save files don't remember which provinces enemies are attacking. All enemy attacks get interrupted when saving and reloading the game.

It would be very nice to be able to save the game and start it again in the same situation.

This always struck me as an odd one because the save file does remember any attacks the human player is making.

The workaround is obvious and not that bad - just wait until no one is attacking you...

That's not a save-game issue, but the AI that re-evaluates the situation on game reload and decides to cancel attacks. That's not always the best decision, but at the time of reload AI doesn't "see" the full picture yet.

The AI also cancels the attacks when it has very good odds of winning.

Like he said "at the time of reload (the) AI doesn't "see" the full picture yet."
