Hi Gabor
At first I had the same problem but could help in
two ways:
1.) It worked fine when loading the UCI engine before
the native engine
2) But a better solution was to cancel completely the
contents in the folder C:\Eigene Dateien\ChessBase\CompBase
where the GUI writes the files "EngMatch.cbh" and so on
of the current engine matches.
Best regards
Kurt
