Having a few minor patch problems.

On my computer with an internet connection, I let it auto download and install. Since I play only multiplayer on there, I found no problems.

On my faster computer without an internet connection, I needed to download the patch manually. I went to the official RoN website and downloaded patch 2 (the about 8 Mbs one) and burned it to a CD to patch RoN on my other computer. Installed fine but:

1. My two previous savegames will no longer load. They go to the loading screen but right before it gets to the RESTORE ones it drops to the desktop with a runtime error (which I will post a bit later). If I start a new game, save it and load it is fine.

2. I have suddenly noticed some of the text has no spaces between words.

e.g. Create Citizen 80% has become
Create Citizen80%

This may have happened before but I didn't notice. Can anyone clear these (minor) issues up? Otherwise the game is working perfectly well

	Put an end to popups!

I have noticed the spaces between words thing, but that doesn't really matter.

I haven't tried loading any old saved games. But logical thought would point to the fact that older saved games don't work with newer versions.

	Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

I can understand why old games may not work after patching, but it is common in most games that they do when a new patch is released, so this surprises me a little. It is no big deal, I would just like to know why it happens and maybe if it will happen in any future patches.
