Since updating to this version of the Loader, I notice that the list of sims comes up in a separate "Microsoft style" screen rather than within the display screen area in the Loader panel. The list of previous situations in that sim also displays the same way. It all still works, but just curious!

I can't reproduce this, would you be able to upload a screenshot to illustrate what you mean?

I presume it is a result of Mantis 14891

Possibly something to do with Mantis 14891 (Common Item Dialog). I am using the same OS as John 23 and still see the list of sims in the window embedded in the Loader screen. Using the option to open a previously saved sim gives a standard Windows Explorer type window to select from.

Postal describes it rather more succinctly than I.

So you are definitely referring to the Load Save game screen giving a popup to select the save game file? That has always happened!?

The pop-up to select a saved game is now appearing offset towards the bottom right of the screen on my system. My memory could be playing tricks but I'm pretty sure it was more central in previous versions of the loader. Perhaps this change of position has triggered the original question.

Edit: Done a bit of digging in the archive. Up to v4.5.8 the pop-up shows in front of the loader screen. v4.5.9 and later the pop-up is offset towards the bottom right.
