Tried with 0.11.8 with the same results as in the OP, as it's not in the changelog i'm not that surprised. Just wanted to make sure it actually isn't working and not only the changelog is missing this rather unimportant bugfix
Yes the exact same error. Tried with a fresh downloaded zip package (0.11.8.12921) for windowsx64, using windows 7. Again, no mods (exept base and scenario pack), fresh map
