[unmerged(60611)]

In three times,I saved my game,and when I try to load it,the game blocked down,charging it...forever.
I just put the patch,...there are any person with the same problem?

There is a hot-fix available here: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?535522-Darkest-Hour-Patch-1.01-Hot-fix

This issue affects all languages except English and French.

There is only one way to fix already corrupted save-games - history log should be deleted (actually only some lines of it are corrupted, but unless one can recognize those it is easier to delete the whole history).

You can skip the part with fixing the corrupted save-game file if you don't need it. Once you apply the hot-fix to your game you should not have save-game corruptions anymore.

Saves made before applying the fix or after?
The fix only prevents corruption in the future. It doesn't fix old saves. Those have to be manually fixed by deleting the history log.

You have to locate the savegame in Darkest Hour\Mods\Darkest Hour Full\scenarios\save games\. Open the big file with an editor like Notepad or Notepad++. Search for "History" (without ") and you'll find the history log. Delete it. Save. Launch the game and load the savegame.

PS: Perhaps it's better to make a backup copy of the savegame before editing it if you are not used to this kind of stuff.

Are you sure the manpower was not already 0? There is not a lot of manpower in DH.

Ok,I'm not sure.I try to start again in english,it is any problem if I start it with hotfix?
Thanks for all your help.

The hotfix corrects a problem with saving games in certain languages (Spanish, Italian, etc). It has no effects on already saved games. If you start a new game with the hotfix, the savegame will not be corrupted and you can use a language different from english without problems.
