Yep, that is what I was talking about.. under the Scenarios, there are supposed to be the origional one and the russian one listed there, if you did not click on an empty slot before naming it Napoleionic Wars... Its gone and your Napoleonic wars is there... however, all of your other files (setups etc..) are still looking for the 1805 Grand Campaign game...

I am not sure if these files can be copied from elsewhere to fix it, I just reinstalled mine to correct it.

You should click on an empty one and give it a name etc.. before hitting Save...

Well I just done another complete new install after removing everything about EIA from my system,when I open the editor there is no 1805 or Russian campaign listed only empty slots ?

I HAVE NO 1805 OR RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN LISTED IN THE EDITOR !!!!!

Another thing I noticed about the download from the registered web site at Matrix, the 1.06 file size is listed as 158.21 MB and when I download the file it is 155 MB and when I install to update it states the file size as 157 MB so something is missing somewhere I'm 1.21 MB short ?

Here is the editor just opened untouched there is no 1805 or Russian campaign to be seen ?

[obsidiandrag]

on the main menu if you go to new game, are the 2 scenarios listed in the drop down for you to choose from for a new game?

I looked back through the e-mails from long ago.. I had this issue with the editor early in the testing of it (back in December) and mentioned to Marshall what had happened, he released the next build version and it returned my scenarios to the screen (I had overwritten them and could not open kindof like what you had - but the editor was in the beta app and it removed them from my released ap version..) and we discussed that being a factor and he might have done something to remove them from the list to keep that from happening again..   The only thing I can think of is that its missing some more of the info like the setups or something..  did you set up the troops (or modify them)  I see the force strengths listed in the above post which are from the 1805 one (may be a default starting strength for the editor to give you something to work with.  I have been working with the BETA and have started a scenario setup myself where I have already created a new one.. I have the other 2 in my list still.. I selected an empty slot from below named it, selected the map and hit save and it opened up the forces modification..  From there I set up France, closed out of it (saved it) and started the application and was able to start it...  Unfortunately since I had done nothing with the other countries forces they all started in the home nation capitols so I am going through and working on that now but I could play it from there.
 
I look at the editor in the released version later tonight after reinstalling on my laptop, I have 1.05.05 on home system for PBEM and the BETA but will load the new 1.06 to play with it there and let you know what I come up with.

Does it matter what software you use to download the update, what is best winzip or winrar or what?

[kirk23_MatrixForum]

Thanks for your help just now then, I have not changed or saved anthing in the editor since I redownloaded it this afternoon, do you no why the load button only makes an error noise, I have never been able to reload a saved scenario ?

[obsidiandrag]

I use filezilla to the FTP site but stick to win.zip from there..  I have a bad experience with the .rar after someone used it for a PBEM game I was(am) in..  2 players got viruses and messed up thier computers and a third had netrork/internet issues after trying to get the .rar program to open the file.  The game is still recovering and has not moved much in the last month after it...
 
I wouldn't think that would be it but you never know...
 
I have found some really quirky things with computers and different ways of doing things that shouldn't matter or have anything to do with a situation but seem to in the end as you remove or change it and then everything works...

Maybe this will help troubleshoot. I assume the scenario files are the .ged files in \Data\databases, eianw001 for 1805 and eianw002 for 1812? I have a test scenario that shows up as eianw011, but will not load. All three files are 11,619 KB. So I further assume my test scenario is saved correctly in the right place. But either the save is corrupted or the game has a bug finding and reading the file. I note that the editor does not show the 1805 or 1812 scenarios in the list. Clearly there's an issue finding the files?

I'm of the same opinion,furthermore I have tried about a dozen times to reload my saved scenario within the editor to no avail, the load button does nothing but make an error noise, anyone else getting the same problem or is it just my system ?

[obsidiandrag]

I have the same issue with the released version, not sure the differences from the BETA version for the editor but the BETA works and the released does not (although BETA is on desltop and Released is on Laptop)...  I have sent an e-mail to Marshall explaining the issue and hopfully we will have some more insite into the matter soon.
