Not sure if your reply only went to Strela however, I haven't received anything from you and my spam folder is empty.

I'm trying to send you some substitute EXEs as email attachment, but I think I am running afoul of attachment size limits.  I will arrange with Strela to find some other way.

Berto, just saw all this.  Do you want files from me also or can you just send executable to me too?

Try this experiment:
  • Empty the Normandy Logs folder.
  • Start a campaign.
  • Save the campaign.
  • Before doing anything else, immediately zip up the contents of the Logs folder.
  • Exit the campaign EXE.
  • Restart the campaign EXE.
  • Attempt to load the saved campaign.
  • If and when it fails, immediately, before doing anything else, zip up the contents of the Logs folder, giving this second .zip file a different name.
  • Attach the two .zip files in a reply post here.

Maybe that will give us some better clues why this is not WAD for you.

Version 1.02

I just figured out last night that 102 is not the last update, 102a is for both Kursk and Normandy.

After doing a fresh install and updating to 102a, the campaign feature for saving a game and going back into the game and continuing it is working correctly now, with no issues.

I am guessing that the same will hold true for you, too.

Indeed, from the 1.02a changes.txt:

Quote:Normandy Patch 1.02a Changelog

Bug Fixes
    - Fixed the File Selection sort New by Length bug.
    - Fixed the campaign save file load bug.
    - Fixed Classic Small & Standard Small toolbar wrap at 1024x768 screen resolution.
    - Contours & Labels settings now auto-saved on game exit.

How could we all have missed that?   Clues

I updated to 1.02a and when i tried to save a campaign I rec'd this message

[Image: save.PNG]

Scratched my head a bit, and just exited hoping the exit automatically saved the campaign progress.  Resumed campaign, and yes.  Apparently no need to "save".  Exiting automatically saves the progress.

Thanks to all.   Salute2

Indeed, that is WAD.

Glad the two of you got this all sorted out.
