Any word here? Wondering if it's going to be something that's likely to be fixed soon, or not. I'm guessing not as that seems to be the kind of thing you'd see running up against some fundamental architecture issues.
I've started the Confederate army version, will see what happens, no problems with any of the Antietam corps ones I've played so far.

So, I'm assuming the replacement scenario I sent out to you was a no go?

V,
If you haven't already, try uninstalling the game and re-installing it. Make sure you deactivate it before you do. Don't just delete it because you'll lose your settings.

In addition, before you re-install Antietam deactivate all mods. We've seen some anomalies when patches are installed with mods activated, this may happen with battle packs also. No need to delete them, just click off the yellow boxes and select the check at the bottom.

Vossiewulf - See Williams reply in this thread:
Well I just reloaded the save game again and they work. I think what I did wrong is I loaded it the first time direct from another Antietam scenario (start a new scenario, click the escape button, then load an old game) and this time I loaded it directly from the starting screen.
If you load your saved game from the main menu, does the problem still occur?

Haven't tried the replacement scenario, can't remember what I need to do with them to get them to show up. Tried moving it around a few places but not showing up in the additional battles choices.
I'm not running any mods, before playing Antietam I started with a brand new install of the latest version (1.4?), since I'd rebuilt my machine since I last played.
I've been playing the Confed Army scenario last few days with zero problems, now four hours in. So either the problem I saw was triggered by a transient set of circumstances or it's something about that scenario in particular, since I'm playing another one of the same scale without problems.

I'm almost certain I did and the problem was still there, but I'll try it again. However it went off the rails during normal gameplay, I hadn't loaded any saves when it went bad the first time, so whatever the problem is would have occurred anyway.

Bad and worse news: I tried loading this save from a fresh game session, no effect. RB, did it make any difference for you?
The worse is the None But Heroes Are Left game is now crashing SOW, although it's proceeded fine almost five hours in now. It crashes consistently within a minute or so of loading the save.

Please try the scenario I sent you in a mod form, build the following structure:
Mods/Antietam Mod/Scenarios/The scenario I sent. So, you're making two folders named Antietam Mod and Scenarios, place the scenario in the Scenarios folder...activate Antietam Mod.
