"ERROR - No grayscale for map"

Looks like it is having trouble loading the Chancellorsville - North map. Can you load this map in sandbox?

No, I cannot load the map in sandbox. How can I correct this? If I need to download Chancellorsville again, how can I save my scores?

Doing another install should not affect your high scores files. If you want to be extra careful, they are in the /Work directory, two files IIRC. Copy them elsewhere and if you have an issue copy them back.
