PM2004 - Loss of State Data on Candidate Edit

By maddog1941 Posted April 12, 2008 21:48:38

I was playing PM 2004 like all day, was building a new candidate when i noticed that there was no state data to choose from, the puul-down was blank so i saved anyways and just edited the data through the program files. When i restarted the game the state data is not avaialble for any candidates and when i choose to start a campaign the program crashes. I have v1.02. And this is the first problems I'm having with this game since installing v1.02. Help please!
