If the game attempts to save a number, such as 10 and a half. With the comma as the separator, it confuses the game and causes a crash.

Ok, Well, wish me luck in this. First real try :) if possible to lock this topic, please do :)

The only issue you might run into now is if your country settings use a , for a decimal separator.

I think I solved the problem. Changed my country settings to english (vs), opened the program, test (which was issue free). Then changed back to previous country setting and problem didn't come back. Tomorrow I will finally be able to try to play for real.

So I've installed it several times again.  Deleted everything, installed again.  Run as admin etc.  Still same problem.  I installed it on my netbook.  It's fine there but I can't play on that thing because it's too slow.  I am totally clueless right now.  I have no idea why it's doing this. . .

Yes, if its in program files you are screwed. However, I have found that if I install anything anywhere but under /docsandsettings/users/myusername/whatever then I have to run it as administrator or it is not allowed to write ANYTHING on my harddrive.

I will try installing it under c:/games again then, and try to run as administrator (I've tried that, but not sure where it was installed at that moment).  I slightly giving up on this, I haven't even been able to start the game properly :(

If you have Vista or Win7 (or 8) and have UAC (User Account/Access Controls) enabled (and it is by default), then never install games under C:\Program Files as Windows tries to protect all files in/under that directory, to "safe guard" users. Always install to somewhere like C:\Games   instead.

This sounds like it could be Win7's automatic write protect. Either install the game in an 'allowed' place (under your profile in docs and settings) or run it as administrator. I have found I need to run most things under administrator.

Yep, you definitely should not install Aurora in Program Files.  Most people put it into a directory that they made themselves - for me I use c:\games\aurora.  Just running it as admin probably isn't enough (IIRC).

My instinct is to call it a write-protect or anti-virus problem; the game might have trouble accessing the database. Also, are you running windows 7?

Yes, I have reinstalled the game on several locations, started multiple games (with different names).  Can't try on another computer sadly.  Don't understand why it happens all the time.

Still haven't found any solution for this sadly :(

If you start a new game, does the behavior persist?
