I'm running Windows XP, and RUS got installed in Program Files (the default path). The desktop icon got created with administrator privileges, but the start menu items did not. So when I started the game from the start menu, my orders were not getting saved, effectively freezing all PBEMs in progress.
Here is the correction of errors:
- in the future, never install RUS in a Windows-protected directory, e.g. Program files
- always run RUS in an administrator mode
Here is what I wish was done from AGEOD's side:
- several words about this RUS / WinXP conflict in the manual
- default installation path changed away from Program Files
- default start menu items created with "run as administrator" settings
- have RUS inform the player if the "save game" action failed after "save game" button is pressed
