The game crashes when starting a scenario
Possible issue with file systems or other drive settings.[citation needed]
|
- For some system setups, the game may not run properly from drives formatted with a file system other than FAT32.
- This may be bypassed by copying the game files to another drive, such as a USB drive, which has been formatted with the FAT32 file system and running the game from there.
