[v.1.58][BM 1.10]Game unable to load flags

Hi gentlemen,

after about 70 turns, the game issued the following error message after turn calculation :
"Could not load file C:\......\pictures\flags".

After 3 or 4 clicks on the box, the turn eventually displayed.
In one of the systems, 3 planets & fleets of the Aamon Krye Empire lost their flags. A white suare was displayed instead.
In the Messages Report, a message said something like :
"We have encountered a new alliance, called the" withy a blank name following.

I suspect the flag error is linked to this new unnamed alliance.

I closed the game and reloaded it : the pictures/flag error message displayed once, then the game stopped loading with the error message "Unable to load game C:\...etc."

Does it mention a specific file? If so, try and see if you can find that one in the stock files and copy over to the reciprocal directory in the Balance Mod folder.

No, it doesn't. The exact path in the error message is : C:\Program Files\Strategy First\ Space Empires V\pictures\flags\

No file name, and the path points to the SE5 initial directory, not to the Balance Mod one.

I once had a bug that caused the same error, except it was with the Amon'krie flag - it became seemingly corrupted. I recall I just copied another version of the file to fix the problem.

What happens if you allow v1.11 to overwrite the files? Note that v1.11 is completely save game compatible with v1.10...

Yes, it is the Amon'krye who had lost their flags before the crash.
I guess this is not a coincidence. Do you remember if the Amonkrie also entered an alliance when you had the bug ?

The bmp files with the flags are not corrupted and their binaries are identical to those of my saves.
And nothing happens with BM 1.11 : the game is still unable to load...
