As Topic says: Cant load Custom design: "File not found"

I can load my designs over "Stock" and then go to Documents\My Games\Rule the Waves 3\Save\...

Then i have a problem... for example the Bismarck. Years is 1950 and i load it over Stock in the game:

and it has many many errors: Gin Size, weight etc. Is it because it is a stock load? And why can i just load the Stock Bismarck as Germany in 1950=?

I suggest a "Force Into Match" Button next to save design. To just ignore all restrain of this design in Quick Battle

Many historically accurate ship designs are illegal for one reason or another. This doesn't matter in the scenarios but Quick Battles, like campaign mode, only allows legal designs.

Yeah. this is a problem for me. Wanted to test designs in QB and not building scenarios. I hope there will the force option as decrypted above

We will look at this to see what changes might be appropriate, thanks.

Thank you!

Is it fine for the game to load designs via "stock" and not "custom", if they are not a stock design and it is only a path/folder problem?

Would help to: " Take your love and knowledge of 20th century naval warfare from the exciting campaigns of the base game and get ready to craft and fight the naval battles of your dreams." If you have more freedom or enforce the designs in the Quickbattle Generator

And I didn’t write this out of spite. If that were the case, I wouldn’t be posting here or on the Steam forum.
