Can you upload the save? We've had reports of this on and off throughout the beta testing, but haven't been able to track down the cause from the handful of saves with the problem that we've received so far.

Got it, thanks. There's definitely a messages data file that's about the appropriate size for the amount of messages you'd have at this point in the game, but the mailbox is completely empty. We'll have to dig into that and see what's going on.

I made a new save called KJDelaney2. This has messages saved that are still not showing up in the read screen.

For some reason, the db_news file isn't loaded correctly in either save. We think it may have something to do with your startup options, since it's not happening to everyone. Can you tell us exactly which options you start with, i.e. everything from naming your game up to the Set Up Your Manager screen, and any starting edits you might be making?

The same problem is happening to me. Actually, the messages can all be read the first time I create a new game. I have tried creating new games with all sorts of startup options, and the messages can always be read on the right side of the screen right after I create a new game. But after saving the game and quitting FHM, when I load up the game again, I cannot read the messages anymore. The title of the messages are still showing up on the left side, but when I click on them, the screen on the right side stays blank.

Interestingly, if I click on "Continue", any new messages created the days after can then be read correctly, although I still can't read the old ones. Then, if I save the game, exit FHM, load the game back, even those new messages I could read correctly are now showing up blank, as the old ones.

Seems to me something wrong is happening upon loading back a saved game.

My saved game is Kelly.lg

I have loaded the mega logo pack and actual face pic. I have started as the Bruins GM in commish mode.
Let me know if you need anything specific and where to get the info you need

It wasn't started from a custom quickstart, right?

And something to try: go to the \quickstart_games\OpeningDay.quick folder, and copy the db_news file from there into your save, overwriting the one that's already there. See if you start getting news after that (you won't see anything to begin with, but as you continue the game you should start to get messages.)

Nothing custom. I used the opening night load that came with the game. I just added the logos and faces graphics.

Can you upload that save? Might help us narrow down the causes.
