Both 2720BC Saves broken?

MrBaggins · February 16, 2003, 22:40

I can't load either save. The game starts to load but crashes before showing the map.

Can anyone else get the map to work?

Perhaps a problem with the file on Apolyton, or the original save? or is this only a problem for me?

Will check it out

And they are the same anyway

Pedrunn · February 16, 2003, 23:31

It worked fine but i reloaded slic and saved again just in case.

I also made it more user friendly. Just unzip inside CTP2 main directory. You may want to try again

MrBaggins · February 17, 2003, 00:16

checked again, and same problem

The prior save (2760BC) works just fine.

I wonder if citizens other than Pedrunn are having trouble.

Could anyone else try, and report your experience?

That really is strange.
Are you sure you are using the correct mosawaper option. This is very typical of this kind of mistake.

Did anyone experienced the same?

MrBaggins · February 17, 2003, 10:29

Yes, exactly the same Modswapper option. Every other DG gamesave loads. Just not this one.

[HUMOR] and theoretically, I have a right, guaranteed by the constitution to a working game save

[/HUMOR]

Gilgamensch · February 17, 2003, 10:59

Everyone has this right, but even if you would open a case, what do you expect as an outcome

that the court will check byte for byte, till we found the guilty one, to send him to H/H ? (Hell/Heaven)???????

MrBaggins · February 17, 2003, 11:07

actually... there is a solution: the court appoint another citizen to play from the prior save, ensuring that all known conditions are mimiced. This citizen should not play ahead in any manner. If it worked for all those that cared to use it, then it would satisfy the constitution, I believe.

This (and the game crash) are important issues that need to be resolved by the constitution. The constitution does not hint at game error/save issues.

Gilgamensch · February 17, 2003, 11:16

I know, it doesn't cover it, but you would need to file a case, before we can do anything [/hint off]

Pedrunn · February 17, 2003, 11:23

Didnt anyone else loaded the save game????

Please i really need to know if in fact there bug in the save game. Mine loads fine!

Locutus · February 17, 2003, 11:28

I couldn't load it either yesterday. But I only tried 1 savegame, will try the other one later.

Martin Gühmann · February 17, 2003, 13:39

I wasn't able to load the game either. I downloaded it from the savegame thread the *.zip file is entitled lemuria - 3720bc.zip actual it should be 2720bc, the internal file is called HighL-Lemu-2720BC dated from 17.02.2003 00:33 and contains 426.865 Bytes. A possible caus eof the error could be *.zip file coruption, to check this Pedrun you could download the file from Apolyton and try if you can reload it from the *.zip file.

If you do, please ensure you don't overwrite the version you have which works

I found out what the problem was. Some file went corrupted with the crash. I re-installed apolpack and goodmod. Then i tried load again and the game crashed the same way you experienced.

Knowing the problem, i played the game chat actions again (This time reading the report more careful).

Now i can asure you that it is going to work (I hope)!

Try it

MrBaggins · February 18, 2003, 01:14

The save now works for me
