Matrix Games Forums

Installed on a recent computer with Windows 8 (64 bit OS) in a non-protected directory (Matrix Games/etc.)

The game starts and plays fine, however whenever I select anything from the menu options (save, load, etc.,) either within the game or anything except new game from the starting menu, the game crashes to the desktop, making it impossible to load saved games or to save new games. I've changed the compatibility settings, run as administrator, etc. to no effect.

Any ideas? Has anyone else encountered similar problems with the game on Window 8?

I have a lot of games installed on this system now and have had no problems of any sort up to this time with Windows 8.

nim8or,

after running the game, do you have a file called

SaveFileLocPref.cfg

in the CmdOps folder? If you don't, can you drop the following one on your folder (editing the path so it matches the path to the 'Saved Games' folder of your installation)?

Bletchley_Geek,

No, the file was not there, but it is now. Problem solved! Quick and easy, just the way I like it.
Many thanks!
