Not XP friendly either.  Same problem with XP.

Not only that, I'm running windows XP.  Loaded the new beta 1.03 and now I can't get past the initial screen.  Hit play........nothing.
 
So 1.02 dosen't work for me (AI hangs after hours into a game) and now 1.03 in totally dead. 

Johan, does that mean we must just quit the game we are in the middle of?   No way of skirting this issue to finish?

<t> I have the same problem.&nbsp;&nbsp; Just purchased the game few weeks ago.&nbsp; Have spent many hours into a scenario, and now the AI hangs the same place each time with the same ship.&nbsp; Have gone from beginning to 1942 before this hang.&nbsp; Tried the hotfix patch..........nothing.&nbsp ...
