AATF: save games crashes

It seems to be the first save game file (attached) that somehow is causing the problems.
I have tried making new save games, down to ten seconds after, but they keep crashing on start.

This is getting spooky. Started all over - again no problem with the first save game, the following two crashes?!?

I had no problems with the safe games I made yesterday, in the 3rd Afghanistan mission.

Recently I decided to give this another go.

I moved the save games to a pen drive and started a new game of that mission. This time it worked fine. So somehow (corrupted) save games can influence the game, eventhough they are not used.

A piece of advice: Don't enter the target until you have airsupport 150 mins in game. Some of the enemy units will be impossible to destroy without airsupport. On two separate occasions a sniper and a MMG would deplete a platoon worth of its AK ammo, and still survive?

Shorty,

I am unable to replicate your problem, but it sounds like you might be having a drive problem. Have you tried replicating this error on another computer?

I think I did that back then, but did it this evening just to make shure:

- Copied the old save games to an old laptop - same result:
I can load the first save game - all others will crash:
"Runtime error!
Program (link on hardrive)
Abnormal program termination"

This will also happen if I make a new save game, and try loading from that.

- The recent save games work just fine on the old pc too.
