TWX refused to open. I kept getting the "encountered an unexpected problem and had to close" error with the option to report the problem.

I rebooted, to no avail. so I deleted my copy of TWX and dl'ed a new one. Now I cant access any of my existing games. If I save a new game, it saves it to the same folder the others are in, but I cant seem to open what I already have?

What is this computer idiot missing?

As a guess, you might have a corrupt TWX database - don't know though.

No, I was playing fine on 3 games, tried to open another twx for a turn game that I am in, and twx wouldn't open. not the game, the whole twx. so I rebooted, and then couldn't open ANY games. So I replaced TWX with a fresh DL, and it wouldn't even see the games in the data file. I make a new game, it saves in the same file as the others, but when I hit the drop down arrow to choose my game, none of the existing games are there. Yet I can open up the data file, and there they are.

Guess my data wasn't compatible with new versions of TWX, I found a flash drive that I stored all my TW stuff on when I reinstalled windows a while back, and that copy reads my data.

Tks

You need to delete the twxproxy.dat file and remake your databases. 2.05 is not fully compatible with 2.04 data, altho scripts run fine. Just delete the twxproxy.dat and remake your DBs.

I found that Sing's last compile doesnt save the port info or game info in the dat file, I have to choose both when restarting twx. Otherwise it works great

Hrm, it doesn't? Are you talking about the compile I posted from EP's release on here last week? If so, can you report that bug below my post? We need to make sure that EP is told of any problems like that.

?

If there's a bug, it should be reported to EP.
