GHQ Leaders disppearance

I just did a test to be sure and that's confirmed, I noticed that after loading a saved game, each GHQ has commanding leaders vanished (1.05d).

Well shot. I fixed this bug quite rapidly. You will find it corrected inside the official patch. Unfortunately, old savegame cannot be corrected (unless manually), because the GHQ leader infos were not stored.

Can you wait for the official patch, please?

As promised, here I am!
1) Download and install the latest official patch 1.0.5F
2) Open your savegame (.SAV file) using a text editor (I commonly use UltraEdit, it's very powerful!)
3) Locate all Commander-in-Chief descriptors, one by one, searching the text "BeginCommanderInChief".
example:
3) The bold-highlighted "IdGHQ" row gives the ID of the GHQ to correct. So search the GHQ.
In the example, searching "Id=100111", I find:
4) Add the "IdCommanderInChief=???" row using the ID of the corresponding Commander-in-Chief (in the example above you can see the correspondance in the bold-highlighted row).
This is to be done for each commander-in-chief, one by one.
