Sorry if I'm just a retard, but could someone tell me how to load save games in HOI2? I click on the save game and then there are no options. I can't click Play, nothing pops up, double-clicking doesn't do anything. Google hasn't helped me either so far, and I'd really like to be able to continue my game.

Edit: Great, now the game crashes when I double click on the save. At least that's better than no reaction at all...

Edit 2: And nothing happens again...

If it was saved correctly, when you click on single player on the main menu, you should have all your saved games in the lower left of your screen (Country-date)

That probably means your save game got corrupted and the game is unable to load it, Paradox's save games are actually text files and sometimes the save process stops before the whole file is written, making it unreadable, thus crashing the game when you try to load it.

Yeah, but when I double-click on the save it doesn't do anything and the "Play"-button is also greyed out.

Wow, just wow. I actually made two saves in case something went wrong, and they are both corrupted?!?

When you choose your save, make sure to click on your country's flag afterwards, should light up the start button

Alright, that works. Thanks a lot for the help! A weird system....

Anyway, I probably didn't get it because I was still on the first day(just did some managment stuff) so it showed the start date, so I thought that that would start a new game.

You're quite welcome fyi this allows you to load the game as a different country than the one you played with the first time around, like play France for a year so they don't make stupid defense and tech decisions, then reload as UK to actually help instead of just riding the Royal navy around (it's helpful, but they can do much more )
