Trust me, it did      Not on the original load, but the SE settings changed spontaneously when I was forced to re-load.

If you can replicate that, please keep a save and replication instructions so I can look at it once this game is finished.

Yitzi, there is your turn several posts before.
Have you seen it?

Yeah...I've been a bit distracted over the past few days, and tonight I finally got to doing enough alpha testing of what I've done so far on the patch that it won't probably crash in the middle of my turn and force a reload, so my turn should be up fairly soon.

Hi Yitzi and apologies - re-reading my post it sounds as if I'm complaining about your patch, but I'm not at all and sorry if it came across that way. The problem seems to have been that I was using 3.4 instead of 3.3b, but that's hardly the fault of your patch? I'm used to stuff working that way - it was my fault for not picking up the patch version info, which was there early in the thread.

I will see if I can replicate it though.

Ok.  Using 3.4 shouldn't have had that effect either, though if you used some files from a 3.3 version and some from 3.4 that could cause unexpected effects (usually a crash, but others might happen too).

(As for sounding like you were complaining...I'm probably worse at avoiding that than you are, so no problem.)

Oh, and I finished my turn last night, but forgot to post it...here it is.

@Yitzi   I suspect you're correct that it's a combination of factors - I'm not convinced that the original freeze was to do with the patch. The odd stuff came with the reload - and the oddest of all was that even downloading a fresh new copy of the turn loaded the exact position I was in before, even after a re-boot. I can't explain this. I thought perhaps this was some new anti-cheat feature but clearly not, since I had a fresh new unplayed turn when I installed the correct patch. There's no possibility that I kept reloading the old game by mistake - I had renamed it to avoid that.

Very odd.

Anyway, have just reloaded the same game using the wrong patch. Made a couple of moves, exited, went back in and bingo! SE settings have changed (one setting) and the display problem has reappeared, I can't tell which is the active unit. However, I can move the units with the arrow keys, which I couldn't before. So there is something there, but not all the symptoms are consistent.

That's using a pure 3.4 installation, which is what I did before. Definitely not a combination of patches because I downloaded 3.3 for the first time after the problem occurred. I have saved both files for you

Ok, thanks.

Sorry and let's move on. 

[Mart]

It asks for hive password, wrong file?

[binTravkin]

Sorry. This one should be correct.

Suddenly, a zillion mindworms appear. Bummer.

I think I may have been playing this turn with Yitzi 3.4, if there are any problems, I can replay the turn. Nothing particular happened.
