A 1.35 BUG!!!!!!!

Jourin · #1 April 21st, 2001, 09:42 PM

I have experienced this twice. Start a game and play with no problems or errors. Quit the game. When I try to reload the game later I get an unable to read saved game.
I have sent the Last save game to MM. I also had the map editor crash a map. I had created a map and had used it in the first game. When that game couldn't load, I decided to change two of the starting positions, but then recieved an error when trying to save. So I exited the map editor but when I reload the map, all the planets where gone - the systems where present, but no planets or warp points. Unfortunately I deleted the maps or I would also send it to MM. Anyone else experience this bug.

I have had problems with 1.35. When trying to generate a turn, it says that the player file is from an earlier turn. Maybe it is, I'm not sure. Also I have had crashes. File not found errors. Etc. I'm not using the TDM-ModPack anymore, it caused some problems at least. 1.30 worked much better.

I had not crashing problems with 1.35.

Well it happened again with another game, although all is not totally lost. I wanted to reload back to the previous saved game and it crashed, so I had to go back to the beginnig.

If I save the game before anything is done then I have no problems, but once I process a turn any game I save can not be reloaded, so I can not stop the game.

My next step is to re-down load the patch - maybe it was corrupted and reinstall the game. I am sending the save game files to MM.

This is what I sent to MM, hopefully they can fix it.

I am continuing to experience crashes with the save game files. The first file is before anything was done. The second file is after one turn. The third file is the automatic save game file after 10. The fourth file is before I run the turn but after I pick the tech, and select the construction que, and change the empire settings. The fifth file is a word document with a screen shot of the errors from each file in order. I can save the game after the initial setup and reload it, but once I do anything I can no longer re-load the file.

I will redown load the patch and reinstall the entire game and then try again, but the game is currently unplayable. I cannot just leave my computer on 24/7 and never stop the game. Also I like to go back to previous points if I make a mistake and try something new. It is like you have some built in no cheat feature for PBEM games that is totally screwing up my game. I would appreciate a fix. Thank you.

I will now re-down load and re-install. Maybe I just got a corrupted down load on the patch.

I had another problem with 1.35. When I used the command line interface to generate a turn (hosting with PBEM helper), it did not work. It did nothing. When I did it manually, it worked.

Well I thought I had it isolated but not sure. I have sent all the save game files along with the custom map and everything else to MM so hopefully they can fix the problem. I was looking forward to playing a game on my custom map, but I guess I can't.

Well it happened again, this time on a game after over 45 turns. I just saved the game and then quit. Then just for a test I attempted to reloaded the game and I get the same save game error. I can reload the first three turns when I scrapped a facility and built a different one. I give up. I guess I have to stop playing until MM fixes the bug. I sent them the Last save game file.

Did it look like this?

Yes that is the same error - Do you have a solution!
