Click on Multiplayer to open up the Load window, then click on the Scroll Up arrow. The game goes back to the main game window. Bug or feature?

You might want to post your game log file here to see if it is throwing any type of error. Screen shots are also welcome.

Where do I find the game log? Not much to show in a screenshot in this case. The problem is reproducible every time I go to the load window as long as pressing the Scroll Up arrow is the first thing done. Note that this is not a big deal. There is no reason to click on the Scroll Up arrow since the list is at the top when you come to that window. I did it by mistake once and then was able to repeat it just to see if it was consistent.

Sounds like a bug to me, thanks for the report!

See this thread on getting the log file:

It is just a simple text file. It might give a clue as to what area of the code might be throwing the error. (As Erik said, sounds like a bug to me as well -- just want to try and locate it.)

Ok, here is the log file from a game I started just now. I clicked on Multiplayer, then clicked on the Scroll Up arrow. Then exited the game when it sent me back to the first menu. Hope this helps.

Dang... looks like a line of code I wrote a long time ago
 
Thanks for posting.
