guke -> Can't load savegames anymore (8/21/2005 6:36:47 PM)

Hi,

I'm getting debug assertions when I try to load single player savegames.
I can still load a few savegames, but the majority leads to the assert().
This is extremely annoying, of course. [&:]
Version is 1.1.0.
Attached is a screenshot.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Gunnar

Ralegh -> RE: Can't load savegames anymore (8/21/2005 7:05:27 PM)

Please check that you using the load game button, and not the load PBEM game button - the error message mentions code that should only run when opening PBEM...



ericbabe -> RE: Can't load savegames anymore (8/21/2005 8:38:00 PM)

Are these 1.0 save games converted to 1.1?

If 1.1, do you know if they are games saved from detailed battle or no?

Are you using any MODs to the game?

(The TPBem::Load() is called whether or not it is loaded with the PBEM loader...)

No, I had started a game with 1.1 yesterday and couldn't load the
savegames this morning. I started a new game and ran into the
same problem.
It appears the savegames I can still load are the oldest ones (saved
yesterday early into the game).

No, saved from the campaign map. The autosaves don't work anymore either.

No.
I will reinstall the game tomorrow and check if that helps.

thanks,
Gunnar

Hi again,

deinstalled and reinstalled the game including 1.1 patch.
No success.

It seems the problem is contained in the saved games themselves.
The files look OK, when I load them into a text editor I can't see any
fundamental differences at first glance.

Regards,
Gunnar

Please zip the save files (both the .sve and .rep) and either post them here or send them in an email to ericbabe@west-civ.com. This is really the first report we've had like this of save game files failing completely, so my guess that there may be something system specific involved.

Email is on the way.

Me too....converted from v1.0 to v1.1 and now my game wont "see" the saved games in the folder anymore....am playing a multiplayer game with 7 other people (inlcuding Raleigh) and everyone else seems to be able to play on....I have tried reinstalling the game twice.....I simply can not load the PBEM game files, no matter what i try....I can start a new game, save, and reload those fine....????

ericbabe -> RE: Can't load savegames anymore (8/26/2005 3:48:31 AM)


When you say it won't see the save games, do you mean that they don't show up in the file prompt after you hit "Load PBEM"?




Basilhare -> RE: Can't load savegames anymore (8/26/2005 5:30:41 AM)

Correct!

They do not show up as a choice when you go to load PBEM.....although they show up when looking in the directory.....

guke -> RE: Can't load savegames anymore (8/26/2005 6:18:58 PM)

Hi,

sounds like a different problem to me. I can see all games but I can't load them.

BTW: Eric, did you find anything out from the saves I sent you?

The game didn't load on my machine either. I have isolated the problem to one particular module of code... my initial guess is that somehow a name or a password ended up either too long or with a space character (or some other delimiter) in it somehow. This is high on my list of issues to resolve -- however I've been swamped with manual-revision work lately.

I agree that it doesn't look as though the file dialog's not seeing the save files is the same problem as the game's not loading of the Gunnar's save file. The file dialog is all Windows -- I make a windows call that looks something like "Open a file dialog please" -- so I'm not sure what's going on with this. Maybe there's a confusion over where the save files are (Save folder vs PBEM folder perhaps???)







ericbabe -> RE: Can't load savegames anymore (8/30/2005 5:56:41 PM)

Ah! I think I found the cause of this bug. Sweden seems to have the draft pool size set to zero. This was causing draft morale to be stored as the string "-1.#INF", which is of course something that cannot be read as floating point data. There will be a fix in the next patch; as a workaround in the meanwhile, don't set your draft size smaller than 1.



guke -> RE: Can't load savegames anymore (8/30/2005 7:10:13 PM)

Are you sure it was Sweden?
I was playing Prussia and I believe I did set the draft size to 0.
Otherwise the AI had the same idea [:)]

Thanks,
Gunnar



ericbabe -> RE: Can't load savegames anymore (8/31/2005 3:04:45 PM)

Ah, you're right. It was Prussia.

Thanks again for going through all the trouble of sending the save files and working with me on this.



guke -> RE: Can't load savegames anymore (8/31/2005 7:47:48 PM)

You're welcome.

It's great to see that some companies still value their customers after they've bought the product and thanks for the speedy help. I can now start a new game without worry that I will encounter that bug again [:)]

Gunnar
