Anytime (tactical or geoscape) I go to save my game, I type the name in, and hit the enter key and the game just stops responding. It doesn't fully crash though because I can still move my mouse around. But it just sits there at the screen, and clicking on anything does nothing.

Anyone else have this issue or thoughts to fix it?

I'm running the RTM build of 72

Check the sound config, and moreover check that the game is correctly
installed (subdirectory structure is intact, especially the save folders).

Ok will do, thanks for replying. I usually play with sound off (because i'm on the bus or something) so I will check this. I didn't notice a save folder, though there were 3 other saved games listed so I was unsure where theywas coming from. hmm.

I noticed that it had GAME_1, 2,3 but was missing 4-10 and i was saving in slot 10, so I made those directories and it fixed it. Strange I don't know how that happened...

Thanks!
