A couple days ago, I was playing the Road to War scenario from the Italian perspective. I was doing very nicely, took over the Balkans, Turkey and the Iberian Peninsula coupled with the accompanying African colonies. When the game reached the date of December 13, 1941, 1:00, the game simply paused. Everything still worked but the time refused to progress. I fooled around with the speed and nothing.
I discovered that upon trying to save at that point, the game would freeze. The same would happen if I tried to load a game from that point. I could safely surrender and go back to the main menu, however.
Today, I started over, in the same scenario, only this time with the Soviets. The game was progressing nicely until it reached the same date and time, where it went through the same process.
I looked through the stickies, renamed my avi directory and nothing helped. I would install the 1.05c patch but it seems to be too much work to extract every single file into its own directory.
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I also wanna note that the last game I played before this happened was in the same scenario and with the Soviets. I got well into 1943 when I conquered most of Germany, Vichy France, and Italy and I encountered no problems. Perhaps something is wrong with Italy in the scenario, because in both scenarios where the bug occured, I was either playing as Italy or had Italy as my puppet state. The game mentioned in this paragraph had Italy conquered (though not wholly as USA conquered the rest) but no peace treaty signed.
