Ow - so maybe this is the reason my game gone crazy after 1.7 patch
(I just try everything - as I read that this game is so compatible that even Russian patch works on ENG versions etc... and I never experienced in any game that is so "patchable" / "modable" - well we learn each day.
-> still my saves stayed intact - so my opinion about the game "flawnes
ness" is even stronger than before - as I was the one who made an mistake (by not paying enough attention on which patch I should use) - and even so all my game saves worke... Unbelieveble! Really!
Edit : Updated "flawnesness", thanx ztorm
