Game won't reload after initial save?

The validation thread (sticky) says:

Validation tool says that you are missing patch_1.pak (or something similar)? Get this file and extract it in <RTW>/data/packs.

Thanks again Bovi! I went back to square 1 - uninstalled everything, then reinstalled a clean 1.5 and EB 1.1, with the permanent fixes. Game loaded and played Romani through 6 turns, saved game, and had to go out of town; keeping fingers crossed it works when I get back on Friday (I'll let you know!)!

I would run the validation nonetheless, to make sure you have that patch_1.pak file .

I've had the same problem as you Timidus, also with the romani. I ran the validation tool and saw i was missing the same files. I downloaded the patch_1 pack and now i'm in 254 CE and (fingers crossed) it's going fine. But i don't have as many changed files though. Do you still have them now?
Anway i hope it works for you as well. If it doesn't i can post my validation file.

grtz

Reporting in - returned from my business trip and (with many fingers and toes crossed!) logged back in to my Romani game and - HAPPY DAYS! - IT WORKS!

Thanks to Bovi's kind assistance I was able to get back into my saved game and am now up to 257CE.

If any others have the same problem I did, then Bovi's suggestions are the way to 'fix the problem'.

Happy gaming!
