I'm getting crash upon loading an existing game...

It's consistent- as soon as you select the saved game and it starts to load- it crashes. W/ Task manager on- I can see the crash reporter running- I let it dump for 10 minutes.

Anyway to revert to the old version?

Hi Pip! Thx for the quick response. I tried that earlier. What did seem to fix it: (I at least got it to launch past the freeze):

Rename this folder:

C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\PanzerCorps2

to OldPanzerCorps2 (or you can delete it)
