Hi Marshall,

Complete Info Panel can only be seen when Host forwards a save file. After a completed turn (press "red tick") Autosave kicks in (notified in panel). Next time I open the saved file I can only see last few entries. Dependent on phase list can be quite a few but never the "full monty!).

I have had a HD failure so had to reinstall etc and have tried this in my other XP computer and a Vista laptop.

Is there perhaps a corrupted file that calls autosave function?

Thanks Marshall. Will do next time (will be soon I bet[&:]) as Host has sent a save file which allows panel to show all info.

Best,

This is definitely a saved game data issue!
Can you tell me if you can start a new solo game and this happens?
Thank you

Can you do me a favor and try the following:

Make sure you have thwe 1.00 production install!
Completely remove the current install (Manually make sure that all the files are gone.
Do a clean install from production 1.00
Upgrade to latest 1.05
THEN upgrade to the lates 1.06

1.05 drastcially changed the directory structures and so should 1.06 BUT I would be curious as to the results you see from this...

Is this possible?


Thank you

Most definitely a font registration problem!
This typically happens if you run the install and the font (Quixley LET) did not register properly from the install program.
Usually a reboot fixes this.

Thank you

I get this problem all the time since i re-installed the game. I have not been able to get rid of it by rebooting. Ess1, let us know if you get the Marshall's suggestion to work.
