I finished the Archaic period mission in South Dashur (bent pyramid), meeting all the requirements of the mission. I go to the end-mission screen where I am congratulated on my success an the Pharaoh is so pleased with me and this is your score, sir, and all the statistics. Right-click to
continue.
When I right-click to continue, I find myself back in that family menu, the one after selecting the family. The one where you Resume family histroy, Relive family history, Reload a saved game, etc. Now, after completing all the other missions I have gone to a different screen where I choose my next mission out of two options (or sometimes just go to the next mission). This also makes more sense as that way the game actually advances. If I resume family history I go back to the last autosave before the game ends (a month earlier), and the same thing happens. I have the save game if someone would like to try it out for themselves.
Please help me. What is happening, what can I do? Has anyone else encountered this? Sierra's "Customer" "Support" has been unusually unhelpful about the issue, settling for auto-mailer responses and comments about "This is not a known problem and we fear that if you talk to us about it, it will become known to us. We don't want this".
I'm running version 1.2, and don't have Cleopatra (would love to buy it but obviously won't unless get the game running properly)
