I've also seen some other odd behaviors since picking up those files. You can probably do a new install into another directory and copy those two files from the new install into the older install, saving all of your custom scenarios (I went the other way and copied the problem files into a working install and made it crash). I suspect that this change will break A Blunt Battleaxe, but haven't verified that.

Nice! I'm amazed you were able to troubleshoot that.

Good info. But I don't have that one downloaded. I will need to do a side by side comparison to see what file I'm missing.

I had luck just sorting the files in the failing directory by date and looking for anything that seemed out of place.  That won't work if it's a missing file, though.
