SYMPTOMS
When you click Last Saved on the Single Player screen in Urban Assault, the program may stop responding (hang).



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if both of the following conditions are true:


 * You last saved the game when you were on a level that contained an activated Stoudson bomb.


 * You last saved the game when you were in the host station turret.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, restart your computer, and then modify your last saved game file. To do this, follow these steps:

 Restart your computer Click Start, and then click Run. In the Open box, type the following line (with quotation marks), and then click OK



\save\ \user.txt

where  is the drive letter of the hard disk on which Urban Assault is installed, and   is the user name for the player (by default,   is "sdu7"). When you are prompted to use WordPad instead of Notepad to open the file, click Yes. On the Edit menu, click Find. In the Find What box, type begin_robo = 56, and then click Find Next.</li> Click Cancel.</li>  Under the begin_robo = 56 line, change the viewer= line and the user= line to match the following two lines: viewer = yes user = yes

</li> On the Edit menu, click Find.</li> In the Find What box, type begin_extraviewer, and then click Find Next.</li> Click Cancel.</li>  Delete the following four lines: begin_extraviewer kind = robogun number = 0 end

</li> On the File menu, click Exit. When you are prompted to save the changes, click Yes.</li> Start Urban Assault.</li> On the startup screen, click Single Player.</li> On the Single Player screen, click Last Saved.</li></ol>

To prevent this issue from occuring, exit the turret before you save the game if you are on a level that contains an activated Stoudson bomb.
