So besides the several duplicate names I've found, the DeleteOnLastWaypoint settings, and a few other nigglies, apparentlyt the StartTimeInterval settings "overlap" the transition from "ID= Beginning" to "ID= EarlyWar" to "ID= MidWar" to finally "ID= LateWar" is probably the main culprit. I almost agree, though I have not proven it conclusively. Hopefully, you will shortly! Usually, when there is a mistake with those dates, the game crashes on loading the menu, but maybe not if it's the last one, which "ID= LateWar" first shows on the Beginning of 1944 Start...
