Dear people, I'm playing Freeciv-2.1.9-win32-gtk2 on Windows XP. I'm playing the Catalans on normal difficulty - it's now 1140 AD. The last few sessions, when I build a new city, the name that comes up first is Perpiny - with an "X" in a box immediately after it. Originally I don't think it had the X behind it, & I could cancel a few times and eventually another name would come up. Once I said OK to Perpiny and it opened a city window with no city name - so I went back to the last save file. Now, no matter how many times I cancel, all that comes up is PerpinyX. I can delete the text in Perpiny, and I can highlight the X by dragging over it, but I can't delete or cut it. If I accept it, Freeciv crashes. Rebooting, and uninstalling and reinstalling Freeciv don't help. I suppose that means that that particular game file is corrupted, but I'm really attached to my little Catalan Republic - it's the best Freeciv game I've played yet. I would really like a way to fix it. In terms of what it says on your bug reporting page about asking me more questions, and having me compile the error log or whatever, *good luck!* I have a right brain injury which causes me to be chronically anxious, overwhelmed, and fatigued. I hate using email because of the lack of immediate feedback, and I respond to it, if I do at all, very slowly. I far prefer the phone. If someone wants to call me, you can sometimes reach me (or leave me voicemail) at 303-442-3663 (I'm up every two days, I turn off my ringer when I'm asleep, and I'm at my girlfriend's place a lot). As to me compiling the error log or whatever, I think that's beyond me at this point. I had a couple of jobs doing tech support, but that was ten years ago ago, and I was always low-level. That strikes me as programmer stuff, and I'm not a programmer. Also, I don't have a computer. All this is happening on my girlfriend's computer, so I don't have the ability to take as much time as I need to figure it out. I'm sorry I'm not much help - I just don't have the energy to be a fully participating member of an online community. I do really appreciate all the work you guys have put into Freeciv. It's a wonderful option for me right now. I don't want to buy Civilization IV for Windows because I'm going to buy another Mac.
