Why do my edited scenarios fail to load?

Dear All,

So I did all the fixes suggested, that is install on C:\, run as administrator, set the overide high DPI setting in the exes.

I have an Alienware running Windows 11.

Even if I edit just a couple of things like TOE in a copied (and renamed scenrio), after a couple of changes when I run start new game, the bar runs across at the bottom and then it goes back to the main menu.

Frustrating!!!!

Any ideas?

Pat

Copy a PWHEXE.dat from any official SCN and rename it to match your SCN number. Like 031PWHEXE.dat for SCN 31.
That should make the SCN load and run.

Alessandro,

Here's a belated, but heartfelt thanks! Your suggestion worked perfectly.

Then, by accident, I discovered if I opened the scenario editor without opening a game first, then edits saved just fine.

It's still curious that if I open a game, then close and go to edit I wind up with the problems.

BUT now I have two ways to solve things.

Thanks again,

Pat
