I had two AARs running, but at the beginning of the year had some family medical problems and then a series of 'Windows 10' crashes, finally ending with non functioning mouse and keyboard inputs and unable to access the computer to try and fix the problem.
None of the recovery, restore, or troubleshooting options worked (never has a Microsoft trouble-shooter ever fixed a problem).

I finally gave up and returned to factory settings, to get the computer working again and face trying to get the system and games back to where they were, lots of installs, updates and mods to go through.

I have back-ups of most things and have reinstalled CotD, with Chemkids mods and was anxious to get back to the AARs, but now the gamesaves I backed-up will not run in the new installation.

So I haven't given up on the AARs, but I may have to restart the Austrian AAR, unless I can find what is blocking the original game saves.

My feelings on computers and Microsoft in particular are unprintable, but hopefully back on track soon.

I always enjoyed your AAR`s Rasputitsa, added to a wonderful game.

Hope you can get the PC sorted out ok.


PS . I`m still on Win 8.1, and happy I can run all my ( older ) games. I don`t fancy Win 10 at all. I don`t think its worth the risk Imho.

I have gone with 'Windows 10', because like it or not this is where Microsoft is headed. It has not been a pleasant experience and amazing in the 21st Century that a major tech company cannot do better than this.
However, I had been running all my games in Windows 10, including some of the old DOS games and I expect to get them all loaded again, eventually.
I have resolved the issue with the game saves and have salvaged the v3.04 AAR, hoping to get started again soon. House decorating at the moment, real life keeps getting in the way.[;)]

"Real life keeps getting in the way.[;)].......Lol[:D]

Good to hear you are making progress with the new setup [:)]

I have started to post more turns in the v3.04 AAR, just got started again and more will follow. This campaign has barely begun, but in just the few turns I have done, this has become a cliff hanger.[:)]

See post #14 for the continuation of Turn 8, it's a little slow because of the time to write it all up.
