[1.20] Error in GetDesignBuildCost Procedure

[nobody]

Nation: FranceCannot find ship design file: Desaix

followed by the same message and the following:

"Error in RecordFirstBuildDate Procedure:
Nation: France
Cannot find ship design file: Desaix"

and then:

"Error in LayDownShip procedure: Ship class file name: D:\Games\Rule the Waves 2\\Save\Game1\Desaix .12d not found!"

-----------------------------------------

I can see a few potential issues/reasons for that, e.g.
- the double backslash or
- the space at the end of the filename.

A file without the space does exist. As does a rebuild version "Desaix (R 1904).12d".
I suspect the AI wanted to build a new ship of the rebuild type, but the internal function couldn't handle the parenthesis?

The double backslash is actually expected and does not affect the game...not sure "( )"  or " " would/should, but will check with Fredrik W . Thanks!

Aa a player it is usually no longer possible to newly build Rebuild ships(in contrast to RtW1), right?
If the AI does not know that, that could also be a problem.
