Hi I have a problem with the load saved game screen; the scenario subfolder (the ones created when starting a new scenario) are not shown even if they a present on disk.

I've seen this before during testing. It would be good to understand how you got this to happen. In the meantime, have you tried restarting the program, or loading a new scenario in order to recover the folders? They're there, the game is just confused.

You may also try to launch it as administrator.

I'm having the same problem. Tried running the game with admin rights but that didn't help.

Starting a new scenario and saving I was able to see that particular save, until I closed the game and restarted, then no saves were found at all once again.

Using Win8.1/64.

Edit: I too have two Husky folders, and now a Westwall one as well.

This was the first time I tried reloading a save after having exited the game, so I assume I've never been able to see saves after exiting.

Yes, I tried everithing and the beahaviour is Always the same. In addition I noticed that if I exit a scenario and then go to the load screen the new load location is inside the previous scenario folder but the Arrow for going one directory up is missing

Yes, the game setup itself to run as Administrator.


Thank you for your help

Exactly the same behaviour and operating system...

I don't have Win8.1, but it was never reported by testers who had it. Can you run it in compatibility mode?

Tried using Win7 compat and that didn't help. Also tried creating a new folder and save to make sure it wasn't affecting only old saves, but still the same problem.

I'm using the default install path btw.

Edit: I could add that I'm using a Swedish copy of Windows, but set to run English.

Did you use junction.exe to move any folders under your user folder (in unix terms, create a link)?

tried various compatibility option down to XP SP3... Still the same problem.

I don't know what are you talking about, the game is intalled in "c:\MatrixGames\War in The West" and my user have full control in that folder

I may have used MKlink to create symlinks in the past, but that was for relocating CMANO saves to OneDrive.

I tried installing the game on my stationary computer running the same OS, only it's an English copy with Swedish keyboard layout installed. It works fine there. The main difference I notice in the game is here I see the folder icon for moving up a level, which I don't on my other computer (touch enabled btw).

I tried moving one of my .sav files to \Save\ and that worked, I can see the saves not in a subfolder, so that's a doable workaround for now.

So if I get it right, it doesn't work correctly in localized windows 8.1?

I'm on Windows 7 and I'm having exactly the same problem.

Maybe localized version of Windows 7/8...

Well it's a theory at least. Though as I mentioned I'm running English as my chosen displayed language for the OS even though it's a Nordic/Swedish native installation at the bottom.

Win7 SP1 x64, UK installation here, no language customization.

HeinzHarald's workaround is working for me too, so there's no great urgency to fix this from my point of view. But let me know if you need any more info from me.

For your info I've made sure I'm using 100% display scaling, and I've tried both fullscreen and windowed. No luck yet.
