Something to try if you have the time, just to eliminate a possibility. Do a fresh install, then apply 1.01, then 1.02.
Or if this is what you did originally try just the 1.02 patch.
Also did you install any mods like Bolts?

Yes definately try a fresh install, then the 1.02 patch, people have had problems with using both.

Are you sure you patched the correct version?

It's always a possibility you know... strange things can happen when you patch the Scandanavian patch over the NA gold CD.

The paratroopers leave "ghost units" scattered around. The game randomly CTD's. Locked up loading 1-2 times. Units don't always regain fuel or org unless the game is rebooted. Save games come up with "database corrupted".

I've been playing steady for a week trying to make it work. About to give it up. Like to play it at least once all the way through.

There are still a few bugs left in the game, check the bug forum for details. We are trying to track this save game problem down but it is hard to do because it is only happening to one set of people. What publisher made your game? Stategy First, Pan Vision ...

Someone just posted in the bug forum that if you save the game with Paras loaded you will get the Database mismatch error. Then if you ignore the error the game loads and then if you drop the paras they "copy" themselves so you have one in the province and one still loaded in the plane.

This gives everyone some idea how hard it is to track down these kinds of bugs, Kudos to everyone who helped stomp this one.
