Great news! I love the work you've put in and I love getting back into this game I bought off the shelf for $back in 1993.

Curious question.. what happens if you update and go back to a game started and played for 2 years (game time) with 2.1?

The new executable should be completely compatible with saved games from version 2.1. Maybe less so, with the OBC files.

Have Fun...

The only compatability problem has to do with Ship Icons from 2.2 to 2.1 or to any previous OBC. The game doesn't like when Saved games have different graphic designations than the OBC41 file. For example, if the YORKTOWN class used the ESSEX graphic in the new OBC file (which it doesn't) then if you try to reload a saved game that didn't have this Icon switch, an 'error' will appear stating that icons are wrong. The game is still playable, BUT, you will see the icons as they are in the OBC41 (ie. they will switch back to how the OBC41 has them). Otherwize, there are no problems.

Thanks David, and thanks to all of you others who devoted time and energy into giving us this great update!

Many thx! Mery Xmas to U 2!
