Hello. I'm new here.

I just purchased the game last week and have been spending my gaming time trying to understand what is going on and how everything works. I will have plenty of questions I'm sure so I hope this forum is accepting of newbees. For now I have two:
I am getting some game crashes caused by an "Error". I believe it says "error 05". This is disappointing as when it happens I lose the game I was playing. Is there an auto save ability in this game so that when the crash occurs, I can at least go back to some point without losing it all?

The Tutorial  setup give the choice of two GUIs. They are called HistWar and Classic. I find Classic more intuitive and more to my liking. When playing one of the regular scenarios I have been unable to find this GUI option. Is it available in the regular scenarios and if so where do I find it?

Thanks in advance. Beautiful game!

Hi GBS
With the crashes make sure you have up to date drivers for your graphics card. And any other drivers to help operate the game there is a minimum software requirement please look that up, and see if thats ok
When a game is stopped by any method its is automatically saved just reload the game, and find "Load a Saved Game" in the menu item and then search for your last game, it will be there.
To interchange between to 2 GUI's press G and that will change it for you instantly.

In the meantime have fun
