I kept getting another problem while preparing for games recently: when I made an 'Openings book' (Shift + enter) from my opponent's recent games I would click on, say, 1 c4 and it would play 1 d4 or 1 e4, whichever move was at the top of the list. This is not a major annoyance, but still.

I've been experiencing a similar issue, though with a completely different line. The reference function in ChessBase 15 quickly finds all the games that have reached a given position (in my case about 90 games), but then appears to freeze while it calculates the score percentage for each move played, giving 0.0 % for all of them. Actually, it hasn't frozen: if you leave the program to itself for a while (I'd guess around 2-3 minutes), it eventually gives the correct results, but something's clearly not working properly. The problem persists as you work further down the line and the number of games diminishes. There was an update to ChessBase 15 a few days ago and I suspect something in this is screwing things up. If so, it wouldn't be the first time that a ChessBase update has created problems that weren't there before.

4. The Search function is much, much slower. It seems to want to create a booster every time before starting the search. Just search the fecking games you useless pile of shite!

Did you try unchecking the "With Game Data" box as I suggested in reply #13 ?

Ah, yes, a User medal, they're easy to get rid of, thanks!

I wonder does anyone know what the Quote:
code does? CB13 keeps leaving this at the beginning of each PGN game, and this is something else that I have to remove automatically, but I'm curious to know what it is there for.

Easy. There are tools that will remove all comments (e.g. pgn-extract), but I assume you want only the Instant Analysis removed. I uninstalled my recent ChessBase, so I don't have an example. Post a sample pgn with some Instant Analysis in it, and I will post a script that removes just that bit.
