I have the same problem, and it seems that it's system specifics, so all I did know is just ignore that pesky pop up and play the game, since it run just fine anyway (and hope it get fixed sometime in the future)

WLRoo is right, but if you mean your already controlled division got taken over by AI, it's intended to be that way to represent miscommunication, signal error, etc. It will have a random duration, sometimes it's short couple minutes, sometimes it takes hours before you can take control back. With ...

Addition note, aside from all defaulted to black, even if you change it, enter battle, save the game, by the time you load that save next time, it will revert to black and didn't save the changed preference we made before.

I've just updated to 1.00.37, unfortunately the problem still persist...

I have freed around extra 12 GB, still the same unfortunately...

Answering your questions:

1. No problem with new/load/continue function, it will work normally (except the popout saying old path)
2. Plain windows defender
3. It's turned on
4. Around 20 GB remaining, should I free up more space?
5. Just a couple hours ago downloaded a cumulative windows update ...

I have updated to the newest 1.00.36, and unfortunately it's still the same thing with the save problem (another clean install)

P.S. My current saves are located on D:\Steam\steamapps\common\RuleTheWaves3 (Yes, all my games ...

I've verified the files and it's all okay, done clean reinstall too (twice). Same goes with antivirus, it's just weird that this happened in 1.00.35 and it's just worked fine in 1.00.34

I've just made a random new save, and I can confirm it's still got that same "use old save directories" error both through both LOAD SAVE and CONTINUE button... (And NEW GAME too!)
Tried to revert to public 1.00.27, and didn't get any save error for both save made in 1.00.35 and save made in 1.00.27 ...

This screenshot happened when I'm about to start a new save (with all 9 save slots empty), while the old save from the previous version are deleted and cache cleared (due to uninstall/install "solution" I thought of) and dumb me forgot to backup it...

I've updated to the newest version 1.00.35, and since then both my old save from previous version and new save made in this version, I can't access the almanac detail of the right most country at all, tried with Japan and Germany (haven't tried with other countries, but I believe it will result the ...
