Well happened again even after just fiddling around starting up numerous shell 61 campaign games and it eventually worked. I think I am giving up on this great game. When you can't even load your saved PBEM games what's the sense. Never had these issues with ACW or before the last patch. Happens on ...

Tried the above no luck. Copied over all the files but it still just comes up with an April 1861 when the files from my documents show it should be late june. Is this a windows 8 thing? Never had these problems in the past?

Thanks
