spww2 error "saved game won't load"

[DRG]

Yes, I believe that is what he is saying and why I suggest the game has not been patched correctly. Before the consolidation patch even if someone with VISTA did move his game outside program files he also had to remember to change to the new location for every patch..... forget one and you have sceanrios missing but VISTA didn't like .DAT files depending on the version and how it was set up it would move them where IT wanted them to be but the game doesn't know where they are but they are NOT in the /Scenario folder but VISTA would happily put the .CMT files that gave the scenario name in the correct place.

The end result is there is a complete listing of scenarios but they won't load because there is no .DAT file to read becasue VISTA put the .DAT files someplace else

If anyone has Vista install the game OUTSIDE of program files then re patch with the new consolidation patch pointed at the new game location and everything will work properly. The problem here is not the games fault it's the way Vista handles files and once you understand how it handles files you can deal with the problem and that's what we have here
