Loading a saved game..

[unmerged(105141)]

Hell there all,

I'm hoping someone will be able to help with this. I can't seem to get my saved game to show up as playable. When I enter the game it indicates that it is saved and there. I can place the cursor over it and it will light up yellow, but upon selecting it it doesn't bring the game up with a start option, nor can I seem to double click on it to get it to start. I went and looked in the saved game folder the game appears to be there as EUG and CFG files. I'm hoping some can tell me what gives as I really would hate to have to redo 20 years of the scenario.

To start a save-game

1. Select the save-game (just like you select a normal scenario)

2. Then click on the start-button

Hi, just to add I have the same problem as ChrisB. This is for normal CK(Not DV expansion). This is what I did:

Phase 1:
1. Clean install of CK retail game version
2. instal of latest patch 1.05(down loaded from here)

Phase 2:
3. Run game, see the "1.05" version number on title screen
4. select the 1066 scenario from the three listed
5. select nation to play(Duchy in this case)
6. click highlighted start button - game launches and runs fine.
7. "save" game from the menu, use suggested save name, then surrender to quit and exit out of game.

Phase 3:
8. On the screen you posted above(mine looks different - only three default CK starting scenarios) I can see my one save game where it should be.
9. Clicking on it, highlighting, selecting it does NOT bring up the start game button - it remains 'greyed out'/non selectable. So not possible to load the saved game!!!!

Now I tried a few things to see if I could get around this, using F3(which is quicksave I think?) and F4(quickload?- the manual doesn't say!??!) but this didn't work either.

I had previously(about 2-3years ago) played a lot of CK and not had this problem before.........so maybe something new in the 1.05 patch...or???? I guess with most people playing DV, this might have slipped under the radar?

So any suggestions? - thank you in advance, while I look for an older patch and see if that helps

10. Click on the kingdom/duchy/county you want to play (you can restart as any nation that you want)

11. Select the start-button

In DV, the game remembers which nation you played when you restart a saved-game. In CK it doesn't. But in DV you can also restart as another country

:wacko: Yep, my mistake. As I had saved it right at game start, the dates were the same as a new game start, so that was what had confused me - sorry for that and thanks for the help.
