5.0 - Campaign generator bug

[WanhaPatu]

Aagh, that vid998.smk corruption almost made me crazy. But I managed to fix it.

I started playing a generated campaign (Finland vs USSR, from 42 to 44, lenght 8). I played the first battle and I was happy with all the new little features, althought the battle was fought in Central Europe.

After the battle I saved the game, fixed my damaged units and proceeded. And what happens? The game shows me the "Select theater"-screen and freezes. Nothing happens. Only thing I can do is press Ctrl-Alt-Del.

Is there a bug in campaign generator (why on earth would Finland fight in Asia?) of is there something wrong with my computer?

I am getting a little pissed off

Hey soldier, take a cigarette and lay low - the enemy wont attack until dawn ... er, just want to say don't get pissed

Just view you units as part of a 'support' unit for allied nations (like Legion Kondor in Spain, or the Free Polish units that fought in Operation Marketgarden, Canada for sure didn't fight anywhere near their country) - so you go there where your allies are.

Perhaps the Russian got scared of the sisu and ran straight back to Siberia..

It's not that big problem that I have to fight for my country in Asia (!) but the bug that crashes the game is something really different

You aren't by any chance, running the game on Windows NT? (see my response in the Bug found thread).

Nope, I have Windows 98.

But hey, I think the game shouldn't even show the "select theater (theatre? whatever)" screen in generated campaigns but only in WW2 campaigns? Is this correct? I thought it was that way in the previous versions...
