can't load saved campaign games after the 2.0 update.

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

After the update to Twlight to 2.0, trying to load a saved campaign game causes the app to crash during the loading.  Twilight of the Arnor has been rock-solid for me until the update (Vista x64).  Thanks for any help you can provide.

The bottom of the debug.err file looks something like this:

I just read a thread that said that old saved games are not compatible with the new version.  Is that truly the case?  Any conversion tool in the works?

thanks.

It is truly the case and there is no conversion tool in the works.  I can't understand why there would be a reason for one.

You should be able to continue roughly where you left off by restarting the mission, rather than the whole campaign, but I'm not positive this will work, either.
