I have v.1.10 and all that, and the game (IGC) has been very cool so far as austria is about to conquer brandenburg the palitinate AND baden in one fell swoop and expand to a new level of empire.

My problem lies having the autosave or my manuel save crash the game. The savegame text files are formed and have most of the info when I open them up with textpad. They're only missing the combat(?) info and some other stuff near the bottom. The cfg. files for the save aren't ever created. I tried messing with the files to fix this (cut and paste from a working save the parts missing, even if the numbers were off. I figured the game would just change them after the first month. I also changed the name on an older cfg file to the one i was missing.) I just took all my old saves out of the folder and moved them to another one, leaving only my current save. It loads just fine, and I can play it for however long until the game crashes, which happens very little. But I can never fully save, and that's what irritates me so much.

Anyway, I know practice makes perfect, but this is getting ridiculous.

It sounds as you have done the cut and paste thing often lately...

Have you tried to reinstall the game, cause I have only seen games that doesnt saves properly, in custom made scenarios, not the original ones. It is a original scenario you play isnt!?

I don't know; it never happened to me (even with my bug-filled computer)... :(

Since the only moderator left is Rex, and he is rather unuseful :))), you could try to PM viper37 or UglyDuck; I think that one of the two at least could help you...

Good luck!

It just happends to be that I've never had computer problems, and when I do get some fuss, I just make a clean install and it always works for me. :)

I'm here but there is not much I can do :( The save game seems corrupt, and when it happens, there is not much you can do :(
1) to prevent such situation in the future, defragment your hard drive on a regular basis (once a week). You can use the Windows default program "Defrag" wich is slow, but not so bad.

Also, save regularly under different names.

2) to try to salvage your game, try loading the game as another nation, say France and if it works, save again (under a new name) and reload the game as Austria.

I don't remember how to do this with EU1, but with the IGC readme file, I believe it is explained; you migh simply need to use the IGC config tool provided with it or you might have to edit the game, I can't remember wich.
