Saved a game in 3.0.0.0. Tried loading it in 3.0.1.5. Game plays as usual for a few seconds, then throws an unhandled exception. Not sure if the old saves are intended to work on a newer release as I only started playing AI War a week ago, but figured I'd report this anyways. Not an important save, so not really an inconvenience or anything.

[EDIT] Seems to happen with most of the savegames from that same game, except some of the earliest saves.

Hi Hitman,

Thanks for the report.  This was actually a bug in 3.015 that would affect more than just a few isolated savegames -- quite a gaffe on my part, sorry about that.  At any rate, 3.016 is now out and fixes the issue.  Thanks for your support, and glad you are hopefully enjoying the game!  Saves are always forward-compatible, this was just a general crash bug.
Have ideas or bug reports for one of our games?  Mantis for Suggestions and Bug Reports. Thanks for helping to make our games better!
