Hello folks!

whoa, I didnt expect things like this happeneing while I was away... Just as a sidenote: I was on a dog sleigh trip in Lapland, pure wilderness, no communication devices. Now I am in Stockholm before I will be back in Munich on Thursday. I will take over again on that day. :)

So, what did I do... When the game started I was still using my Winplan version on a simulated Windows XP, just like I did all the time for the game "first steps". However, it was annoying me a little, so I was going through the forum of good ol´ rcworld to finally get a 32 version that is supposed to run on Win7. I downloaded the latest one that was provided there, this is the link from Eriond: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15143666/setup.exe

After installing I entered my reg key and tested the whole thing with the "first steps" game. worked fine. no errors, no bugs.

but then... I made my turn for "just a second" with it, of course with the game data in a second folder. and it was that one last turn before I left for my holidays. I shouldn´t have done that, but to me it seemed to run smoothly.

so right now i can just guess what happened, but it seems that there´s somehow Cherek´s reg key mingled into that setup.exe.

Stefan, please take over from here! :D I will have a look at this page and my mails tomorrow too, hope we can get over this quickly. If no solution will be found I will just keep on making my turns with my simulated WinXP. :P

wish you a nice evening! Matt

I was doing the same thing with WinPlan, running in XP Mode when I came back to VGAP. then I tried WinPlan 32 and everything worked fine until about half way through my first game, then started having trouble with WinPlan 32 in other games. Good luck with WinPlan 32.

I myself think Abyss had a hic up.

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
