Appear to have an issue in that the client is not allowing me to save a character. Am unable to get it to produce a moa file.
Am using the older client as running on a dated laptop running Windows 7, not sure if that may be part of the issue?
Doing usual tweaks with running as administrator etc.
When attempt to click the save button from the client nothing happens at all. From memory I think it created an explorer box in order to save the file?
It should open a dialog box to select where to save the file.
After clicking save, does it allow you to click on the main window (start, change description, quit, etc) or does it block that? If you are being blocked, then that would indicate that the dialog is opening but just somewhere you can't see.
If it is not blocking you, I'm not sure what would be causing that. Have you tried running the game in dxwnd?
Does indeed allow me to click on the main window after hitting save, so no hidden dialog unfortunately.
Not tried playing with dxwnd as got it running fine with administrator and the like. Game runs absolutely fine and got a merc in to officers, but just very paranoid about not being able to save him if anything goes awry!
I tried messing around with the different compatibility modes on a pc with windows 7 and I was able to reproduce the same problem you are experiencing if the compatibility mode is set to Windows 95 or Windows 98 / ME. Changing the compatibility mode to anything newer resolved the issue. Are you by chance running with one of those compatibility modes?
