(moved) Unable to select units

[Yellow 13]

I don't know if this is a bug inherent to Empire at War or a bug with this mod, but every so often (while playing Empire of the Hand) I encounter a bug where the game skips the cinematic intro to space missions and when that happens, the game becomes unplayable since i cannot select any of my units. their hard points are invisible and while they DO play their unit acknowledgement quotes, they cannot move. This applies to the fighters the capitol ships deploy too. Once this happens, it applies to all missions too, not just the space battles. A ground battle was attempted and the same bug persisted. I've tried everything I could think of to fix it too and it doesn't work.

I should mention that this only applies to the one file. So if i left it and went to another galactic conquest, that other one is fine, but the first one is still buggered.

Leaving the game and starting it back up
leaving the game entirely and logging back in
restarting the computer

This happens with the large, multi era Galactic Conquests. Art of War, primarily as it was one of the few where the Empire of the Hand was playable.

It's a bug in EaW that occurs after it basically loses track. It's a problem with the engine, so we can't prevent it from happening, however we have created a utility which can fix the save files.

And as someone new to this whole modding thing, how do i put this in without breaking something? lol

It's its own application. You run it on its own, and open your save file with it.
