Problems loading Scn

[raz_atoth]

I had the same exact issue-with the game crashing while loading just before the password screen.That's because the original 1.00 pbem game was opened with 1.01 then processed.
Here's the correct way to do it:
1)You load the 1.00 pbem game using the 1.00 version
2)You save it-without hitting the Go button from Briefings->Save
3)You open the saved game using 1.01,issue your orders and hit Go.
